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.

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...

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...

The Book List!

Hey, So now I've limited my Book List to possibly five must read books in the coming weeks ahead. As most of you know, I've started  Linger and I am on page 109 of 360. So I have a ways to go yet but I'm really excited about it. Here are the other books on my list. 1. Heist Society 2. Raised by Wolves 3. Revolution 4. Eldest 5. Marley & Me I am so excited that this is what I want to read most right now as of for April and May. I have until May 10th to read them all. I hope I can make it to the due date. Right now, I want to finish Linger and start Heist as soon as possible. I also have a ton of books from the Library on Miscellaneous things like Pomeranian's, Shiba Inu's, Bernese Mountain Dog's, Great Danes, Dog Training, Manga, and etc. It's a rather large list and I'll probably end up taking  most of the books back before I ever get a chance to read them like I always do. What can I say, I love books. Love Britt <3
