Eragon!

Welcome,

This is Thursday's Official Post. I know my posts have been kind of crazy lately so I just wanted you all to know that this is today's post. No questions asked.  I also wanted to inform you all that this is not a review seeing how I haven't finished this book yet. Technically, I'm not even halfway through it yet. I know it's pathetic, I'm a slow reader alright.

Eragon By Christopher Paolini

One Boy...One Dragon...A world of adventure.

 Eragon 
By Christopher Paolini 

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy: perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrian and dark enemies of the Empier ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.

Can Eragon take up the mantle of a legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

A long, long time ago, I decided I was going to read this book. Unfortunately for me, I just couldn't handle the book and had to put it down. Many moons have passed since I have set foot into this well put together world. I was actually volunteering at the library when I saw Eragon on a shelf in the Young Adult section and decided it was time to try again. So far I found that the book is very enjoyable. The characters are very strong and their emotions are easily felt. I have a natural love for adventure and fantasy so when I saw the beautiful sapphire blue dragon on the front, I was like wow.

Once I've finished this book, I've got a whole bunch that I have to read before they are Due back at the Library. A lot of them are on my Must Read List Of 2011. However, I plan to read every book I pick up. I also have a lot of plans to buy more books in the years to come. So saying that, I might do my first review on this book. I've never done a review but I'm willing to give it a shot.

I've also come to realize that I know why I hate borrowing books from the Library. I think of all the other people who have touched these books. What if they were sick? What if they didn't wash their hands properly like they should? Where did they keep this book? Did they read it? Did they do unheard things to this book? I have issues with borrowing books, yet somehow I still manage to do it. I bury my worries and continue to borrow these books until I realize that the list of the books I want to read is going no where. I want to own these books. Then the only person touching them would be myself. I hate it when you let someone borrow a book and they return it far away from its original perfect condition. My little sister is in fault for this act. I let her borrow my Twilight book and she didn't take very good care of it. The cover was ruined thanks to her. Well, I guess that's what I get for letting my sister borrow my books with or without my permission. She has a nasty habit of being guilty of both.

Well with all that being said. This is the end of today's blog post. Tomorrow I have a special surprise for all my readers. Mainly if you know what I post on Friday's then it won't be much of a surprise but if for some lucky chance that you don't well then. I'll just zip my lips and you'll all have to wait and see. I'm so excited.

Love Britt

Nine Lives too Short....!!!

Hey Everyone I've been working on making  on completing my job applications. Which would be a lot easier if I kept all my references in one place. But no, crazy organized girl can't seem to do that. Wow, that's just sad. I'll have to get some kind of system going on to keep all my current information together. Then bye bye crazy application problems. I signed up to take my Driver's License Test. I guess that's big news. I finally be able to drive. Which will be great for college, work, and smaller endeavors.  I'm super nervous. I feel so much could go wrong. The worst that could happen is that I can't parallel park or I can't follow the instructor's commands which should be pretty basic.I hope it is anyway. I've been keeping in contact with my boyfriend who lives in Fort Myers. Haha. Talk about long distance. I think I've been doing a pretty good job so far because I've kept in touch with him and I text him almost everyday.  I r

New Ideas, Old Fairy Tales...!!!

Hey Everyone, Yesterday I was walking my dog when I came up with a new twist on a old fairy tale. I was thinking of doing a new Alice in Wonderland Story. A story about Alice, an elderly woman in a mental hospital telling these stories of her when she was a little girl in wonderland. I figure the story could be made into a much more darker and horrific tale that still has that beautiful magical flare that the enchanting old story possessed. I really think this would be an interesting twist on Alice in Wonderland since every one seems to want to keep her young and innocent. Why not let her grow up? Have children of her own or end up alone? Why not let her be a insane old woman who never knows whats going on? A story narrated by Alice about Alice. I think that would be an awesome story to take on. Now, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this Alice and Wonderland twist. I've never done anything like this before and I'm defiantly going to do some research from the old books
