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

Worst Movie Ever...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night, my little sister and I watched a redbox movie that has been laying around the room for days now, waiting to be watched. It was the worst movie I have ever seen. The move was called Snow White and the Huntsman. It was probably the worst movie ever made. It was slow, nothing really interesting happened in the whole entire time we watched it. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for about an hour, when I awoke, the movie was still playing with barely any progress. Kristin Stewart did a terrible job of acting. I don't even care enough to make sure her name is spelled right, I apologize to any of my readers who like her or at least her acting. I don't really envy her all that much because she sucks at acting, literally. The man who played the Huntsman was a little better but not exactly the best either. I'm pretty sure though that he played Thor, which I actually enjoyed very much. But this movie was outdrawn, too long...

30 is for Trente!

Welcome to Friday's Short Story, I have been putting together my blog recently, like you know what do I want to talk about. I can't make any promises that the blog topics won't change from time to time but I can at least put more effort into my blog. I wanted to put up a short story of mine that I wrote after I read Gail Carson Levine's book, Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly.  I am a huge fan of Gail Carson Levine. She is such an amazing author and I have fallenl in love with every book she has turned out so far. If you have any interest in reading more about her, then please visit her at her website, http://www.gailcarsonlevine.com/ So back to my short story. Here it is! I hope you all enjoy.     I have one green eye and one brown eye. The green eye sees truth, but the brown eye sees much, much, more. I stared at myself in the mirror. Seeing my disgruntled face that morning was not a pretty site. The mirror showed the opposite me. A bed head version of...

Light and Fluffy...!!!

Hey Y'all, So lately I've been getting dizzy and light headed while driving. It kind of sucks. I'm not sure what is causing it either. After I get home sometime the dizziness and light headed feeling doesn't go away. I feel like I am stuck in my home because of it. I don't like. Not one bit.  I'm kind of scared that I am showing signs of getting vertigo like my dad. I really hope not. Also my mom is here visiting from South Carolina. She is driving me insane. I mean I love her because she is my mom. But boy she really knows just how to annoy me.
