This Year's Book List!

Eyes Like Stars
By: Lisa Mantchev

ALL HER WORLD'S A STAGE.

"There are stars in her eyes," said Bertie's Mother with a shiver. "She'll have magic enough because of those cursed things."

Verena took Bertie's Mother by the chin, twisting her face to study her closely." Your stars are still there. Faint, but there."

"She will want a life greater than this. I did, too, a long time ago," said Bertie's Mother. "But that life...you know as well as I that it's mot all roses and curtain calls and champagne on Opening Night. It's ugliness and fifth and greed. The bright lights mask the sorrow, but the sorrow is still there. I don't wish that for her."
The Mistress of Revels sat back, her expression solemn. "Will you try to keep her from it, goodwife? Will you tie her to the laundry line with your apron strings? Hobble her at the kness, crush her soul, and break her spirit to keep her safe?"

Bertie's Mother rocked, trying to comfort herself as well as the child in her arms. "Will she be happy?"


I think the cover art for this book is amazing. I'm not really into the theater but I love helping if I can. Last year in High School, I helped with the Custom and Make-Up Crew and I also got involved with Set Design. I really love art so Set Design was an awesome outlet for me. Plus, I also got involved in Art Club and some other fun stuff like French Club. So yeah, I was a little more active my Junior year of High School. But I think this book sounds and looks amazing. I was really drawn in by the cover art. It caught my attention. Plus, the title is pretty awesome too. I hope it's an awesome read. 

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 ...
