Alice in Wonderland

Tonight at my high school, six of my peers put on an amazing one act rendition of Alice in Wonderland. Plays and musicals are so entertaining to watch! I always love going to them. Now I know this blog is suppose to be about books but seeing the play has made me really want to go and read the original book by Lewis Carroll. The play included a lot of interesting concepts about time and life. Many ideas touched on during the play were new and intriguing to me. For example, the White Queen talks about how see needs a band-aid. Alice asks her why and the queen replies that her finger is bleeding. Upon expecting the queen's finger Alice sees no blood. She tells the queen and the queen replies that is not bleeding now but it will in the future. It brings up a new interpretation of time that I never thought of. To me, it seemed to be talking about living in the present and not have the things that MIGHT happen hold you back. Or at least that is what I got out of that little dialogue, I might be reading to much into it. But that is why I want to read the book! If I can get that much out of a few minutes of a play what can I get out of a whole book? Seeing the play made me interested in discovering what the original book is like. Moral of the post, Alice in Wonderland has been added to my "Books to Read" list. :) 

Renewed Love

Due to school and life I haven't done that much reading since the summer. I have a BUNCH of books in my room that I want to read and I haven't made much head way on them. :/ But this past week I finished two of the books! Of course I had started both of them but it felt good to finally finish them. The two books I finished was Deadline by Chris Crutcher  and Push, which was made into the movie Precious. They were both REALLY good and I will probably post reviews of them later. :) It felt good to read again! I also started a new book called Dancing in the Moonlight. It's a romance and I have been trying to read different genres of books since I feel like I read to many romances but the book is pretty good so far so I am excited to finish it! There is no better feeling than finding a book and getting into it. :) I am hoping now, even with school I will continue to go through my pile of books when I am done with this books!

Prologue

Mrs. Tolle, the oh so wonderful creative writing adviser, talks about blogging and how the point of it is to write about a specific topic rather than a bunch of random thoughts. 
I tried to think about what I could blog about. I love books and I love to read (even if I don't do it as much as I want). The PERFECT topic was clear! I should write about books, what would be better!? So Here it is, my tell all blog about books and everything book related! Enjoy. :)
