What Would You Do?

Every week, it seems my blogging gets wilder! I really regret not having chosen a l o n g e r outside reading book since it's challenging to come up with new ideas for blog posts. There is only so much interesting stuff going on in fifth period English that I can write about.... Well, the current book I'm reading, Masquerade, by Peneloppe de la Cruz, a sequel to Blue Bloods, has been thrown aside much-- I'm only two chapters into it! And now it is due back at the library, so who knows when I'll finish it! I got into these books after finishing Eclipse (the last book thus far in the Twilight series) and looking for a new vampire novel to sink my teeth into. On my regular trips to Barnes and Noble, I have often observed that the teen section holds mainly two assortment of books: the huge wall full of "pretty girl novels" (Gossip Girl, A-listers, etc.), the breathtaking copies of the Twilight series, and then.... its "knock-offs". There are many books sporting fangs on their covers or the word 'vampire' in their titles filling the shelves-- no doubt trying to lure in Meyer's eager and very profiting crowd. I wonder if it's working? It definitely does not attract me. I do like the Blue Blood novels however, because they are completely original from Twilight. But along with the "knock-offs" I don't like the way the vampires are described. From what I've read of Blue Bloods and from the back covers of "wanna-bes" the vamps are not immortal (or at least not of the same form. They basically reincarnate.), and do not seem as fierce, dangerous, or perfect-- the major attraction of the Cullen family in Meyer's famous novels. Moving on now, I haven't even started what I came to initially blog about. That whole ramble was a complete sidetrack. Anyway, since I am not reading much at the moment, I decided to tell you about a friend who is. I'm lending her the novel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. I read this book a few years ago, but still recall it's powerful story about the teenage girl who struggles with the after effects of a rape. I think I will read it again soon, and then watch the movie. Ironically, it stars Kirsten Stewart (Bella)! Everything somehow seems to connect, falling into place like pieces of a puzzle.... Now, for some big news! This is a very secret matter, so don't tell! Not that I really mind, or I wouldn't be posting it on the internet. Besides, no one actually reads this blog- except for the two people who already know! Here goes....



*drumroll*



I have officially written a fanfiction. Yes, how wonderful. Of course it is based off Twilight, and it is not very good to say the least- but I enjoy writing something which is fun and that I can control.
