Point a) Small Bookstores
I find them utterly charming. Don't get me wrong. Barnes and Noble is (almost) sure to have whatever you're looking for. Except it seems the sequels of the Song of the Lioness series. /coughcough . >.> And online buying is easy and convenient. (But I hate waiting to read a book. Am I really the only one who wants to read their book right when they first buy it? I'm so impatient not even kidding.) But there is something absolutely amazing about small bookstores. My mom and I went to a local bookstore, and while I STILL COULDN'T FIND THE SEQUELS TO SONG OF THE LIONESS SERIES I did get two books. Reviews coming soon! I've heard from others that these books are absolutely great so I'm excited to read them. The best thing about small bookstores is you don't feel that awkward for asking the person for recommendations. Plus, after a few trips every time in the bookstore you start chatting with the owner. Not to mention that the owner's dog (the cutest, most adorable thing ever. it looked like a lamb. a frikkin lamb.) hung around so there was extra cuteness. The fact that its also across from an amazing ice cream place is just bonus points. :)
Point b) Lets talk about Genres
If you've read any of my previous posts you'll kinda get the feeling of the genres I naturally go for. I love adventure, action, fantasy, and historical. Preferably they would all have some sprinkling of romance in it. I also love books with strong female characters. I guess I have some secret super feminist in me that gets so annoyed when the heroine can't do anything but get saved and whine. :/
I don't want all of these reviews to be JUST those genres though, so I'm thinking that I'm going to start branching out. Maybe choosing a random book at the library. One of those LETS CLOSE MY EYES AND RANDOMLY PICK A BOOK AND HOPE I DON'T RUN INTO SOMEONE things. Even if its about cliques and proms and boys and drama....... which I tend to avoid in my books. /sigh BEING A TEENAGE GIRL IS SO HARD. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO READING.
So yeah. If you do stick around and read more of my blog. Which I hope you do! /awkwardly hopes that didn't sound desperate.
Ah
Hmm...
Moving on then.
-awkward pause-
Point q (because order is for squares)) People.. Looking... at my Blog.... *O*
I was kind of surprised when I logged into my blogger account and my blog views went from a sad modest 111 views (My favorite number.) to 120. In like, 2 days. Which meant nine people saw this. Which is really awesome. I checked and apparently stumble upon is amazing and has been bringing people here. YAY! Its a great feeling when 5 people view your blog in one day. ;o; If you read this and you have a google account just comment "french the llama". Nerdfighter
Point asdfjk) My mom is awesome
My mom is awesome because she actually used books to buy 29 hours of happiness. (She originally wanted 48 but I bargained with her until she lowered it.) Still not sure how thats gonna work out, but I got two books out of the deal so... I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
Note: this is why I should stick to book reviews and never be allowed to ramble. because I will keep going....and going...and going...and going.
