F is for Favorites!

Welcome,

I thought I was going to do a segment on "What is your Plot?" but then I realized something. I wasn't sure on how to go about doing that certain blog post and my hearts started to swerve to another idea that I think you all will enjoy. I decided to do a post on my Favorite Author's. I have three particularly in mind. Weezie Kerr Mackey, Gail Carson Levine, and J..K. Rowling.

Why are they my favorite authors right now? I absolutely love any author who can create a world I've never been to and then piece it together to form a visual in my mind. Most authors are very good at this while others are not. These three authors are quite good at it.

I love Weezie Kerr Mackey because she is a fresh off the press author.  Her first book, Throwing Like A Girl was a really amazing read. I saw it in the book store a couple of times before I bought it and what can I say, the cover had me hooked. I was sort of obsessed at the time with Baseball. As you can tell from the title of the book, it had to do with Baseball or well I should say Softball since we are Throwing Like A Girl  and not a boy. I recommend this book to all my readers because it is a really great story about a girl in a new city, making friends, and learning a new sport. Most of us can relate to her reality. I sure can. Well all but the Sports part. I was never a athlete in school.

i ve been a huge fan of Gail Carson Levine ever since I read her book, The Two Princesses of Bamarre. I just adored the story and the writing style was amazing. I couldn't believe that the book swept me off my feet like it did.  I instantly formed a connection with the book and it's characters.  The two characters were easy to relate. Since I've read that book, I've read two of her other books. Fairest and Crating Magic: Writing Stories that Fly. I was so excited to have gotten a chance to read her other books. If you haven't read any of her work then you seriously need to go to a library or a bookstore and pick up a few. If you didn't know, she is also the author of Ella Enchanted.

I grew up with J.K. Rowling and her wizarding world was just so cool and amazing. The main characters so easy to relate to. The world is very believable and amazing. You sort of just fall straight into the book and it doesn't let you turn away. The books are amazing. I think that this book series had been turned into a movie is so awesome. I am proud to say that the characters in the book reflect the actors and actress who portray them. Most of the time you picture a character a certain way in your head but as soon as they are brought into the real world, the character no longer resembles what you thought they might look like, This series didn't disappoint me one bit. I suggest sitting down and grabbing the first couple of books. The books are so much better than the movie but that always seems to be the case.

What are my favorite books by these authors? Throwing Like A Girl By Weezie Kerr Mackey, Fairest By Gail Carson Levine, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire By J.K.Rowling.

Love Britt

A New Chapter In My Life...!!!

Hey Everyone, So I started a new Job. Well technically I've been there for a few weeks but I haven't been posting anything on my blog. It feels like it's been an eternity. And I guess I should start from the beginning. So I was at my new job, maybe a couple days after I'd originally started working there. I was bagging for a cashier who I didn't know that well. Our customers started comparing us. They were saying we looked alike and that we could be related. We just looked at each other. I told our customers that I don't have an older brother, just a little sister and we didn't even look alike. The next day, he asked me what our customers were talking about. I smiled and told him that they thought we were related. Then other cashiers agreed and thought we could be brother and sister. Haha. I thought it was great. After that day, I didn't want to bag for any one else. He made working ten times better than I ever could have imagined. And we'd tal...

A Ruff Patch in the Pumpkin Patch...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night I had a class at the local community college. I was already late due to a nice conversation I had with my best friend over Skype. I really thought I'd get there on time. When I got there, I was rushing to get to the class but I got merely five steps over the bridge when I saw two people I usually talk to on the way out of class. They told me that our class was canceled. I wasted my gas to get there. It pissed me off. Not to mention that my boyfriend and I had a ruff day yesterday but everything is better now. We just had to talk about it. I was so scared I thought I was gonna lose him. Then last night he told me he was filling out papers for the air force and the navy. I started to freak out because I thought he was signing up for them. I just, we've been together for seven months and I'm not ready for him to up and leave me here while he's travelling the world. 

13 is for Treize!

Salam, Good morning everyone. I think today is a really great day. I woke up way off schedule but I managed to get everything I wanted to get done this morning. I don't have very much time to complete this post so I got to type faster. I  am a busy little bee. I've been filling out applications everyday. Last night I was attempting to fill out an application way too late at night and decided it would be better to do them today instead. I feel like such a slacker. I'm not one though. I've been trying very hard to get a job, filling out five applications a day except yesterday because of poor judgment and planning. I'm normally pretty good with planning and organization. So I don't know what happened yesterday. I have been racing to get things done. I have my school work (home schooling), plus my daily chore chart(which I need to fill out), and my reading list which I already know won't be finished by the end of this year. Now, I'm focusing on a job ...
