Hola!

Hello, I don't have a new review, unfortunetly, but hopefully I will find a new book worthy to be in my hands. So, keep checking back, because I will check in and probably ramble about stuff like how amazing the top twenty on So You Think You Can Dance? is. Well, it is. Can't wait for tomorrow to finally get to the performance shows. Now, I could go on, even using technical terms because I am a dancer, but I will spare all of you reading, so I'll stop. Everyone enjoy the last few weeks of school and the nation-wide heat wave.

Be Back With Reviews Soon

Well, I have 3 school days left until I am out for summer and then I promise there will be a bunch of book reviews. If anyone has a request or reccomendation for my summer reading, leave a comment. And once again thank you to all of you, and I can now say I believe I did well on my exams. Only one more!! Thanks!

The Friday Night Knitting Club

The Friday Night Knitting Club explores how an art can bring generations together. It tells the stories of the women of the Friday Night Knitting Club and the woman who runs it, Georgia Walker. Georgia is a single mom with a twelve year old daughter, Dakota. Georgia hadn't had any problems with Dakota until Dakota's father, James, shows up wanting to be part of his daughter's life.

Georgia runs a yarn shop called Walker and Daughter, which is where the knitting club takes place. The club is made up of a cast of colorful characters. Anita, a seventy something year old who has made Georgia and Dakota her surrogate daughter and granddaughter. Perri, a student who works part time at the shop. Darwin, a grad student in women's studies, with almost no people skills. And many other characters which you will have fallen in love with by the end.

This story is one of the most moving pieces I have read in a while, and I wish Walker and Daughter were real. I highly recommend you pick up a copy and read it as soon as possible!

New Review Tomorrow

So I am back, and tomorrow is my birthday! So I would like to thank all of you who asked how my exams went, well I can tell you soon, they start tomorrow. I have been busy studying for the past few weeks. I have also had dance rehersals so I don't know when I had time to actually start and finish a book, but I did. So the review will come when I get home tomorrow from my History exam. I will tell you the book- The Friday Night Knitting Club. For those of you taking/taken finals good luck!

The Off Season

The Off Season is the touching sequel to Dairy Queen. The book starts shortly after the end of the first. D.J's life is going great. She passed softmore english, she is a true member of the football team, and she sees Brian, all the time. And did I mention the farm is almost broke? And then, in a blink of an eye, D.J's world crashes around her. With one tackle and the tragic injury of Win, D.J's oldest brother, D.J once again has to take all of the family's problems on her shoulders, but can she handle it?

This book was a great follow up to Dairy Queen. D.J's character is pretty original, and I like that. She, like her family, is stubborn and does not give up easily. I want to see more of D.J, and all of you should read these books!!

Another Spelling Mistake

God, spelling exercise is really not my thing. I have officially spelled it wrong twice now. Usually, I am a good speller, but I just could not spell exercise. Well, now it is spelled correctly, thank you to google, while I was looking up my blog, it showed the spelling mistake.

Still No New Review

I am sorry, but it will be awhile before there is a new review. Final exams are upon us, well for those who have finals, and plus I only just got a new book to read. But that doesn't mean stop checking because I will still post. I'd say there should be a new review next week. It would be earlier, but I am gone all weekend. Does anyone have a brain teaser they would like posted? Leave a comment.

Riddle Answer

Yes, I know the riddle was kind of lame, but I didn't have anything else. The answer was a screwdriver. No new brainteaser, cause I don't have one.

Some Quick Reviews

So, I am back from Disney and school is back in full swing. I came to school today and found out I had a softball game. I have so much work to catch up on, but I thought I would catch up on some reviews.

Violet on the Runway and Violet By Design:

Both amazing books. It is a great read for those interested in the modeling industry and even those who aren't. They are quick reads though, but extremely entertaining.

Dairy Queen:

Well, I'm not to big on football, I'm more of a baseball girl, but this book is amazing. Cows, romance and football surprisingly are an amazing mix. Try this book whether you like football or not.
