So, I'm finally done with high school!! Woo!! And we all know what that means...I get to start churning out books like it's nobody's business!! Or like it's my job. Whichever expression you prefer, haha. All that matters is that now I'm freeto sit by the pool, on the dock, or on the beach (depending on where I am) with a book all day!!
In the spirit of things (namely summer), I thought I'd list the next yen books on my to-read list for the summer, and I'll add the books I'm currently reading to the top.
Next on my to-do list:
1/2. Demise of the Soccer Moms- Cathryn Grant
1/2x2. Five Things I Can't Live Without- Holly Shumas
1. Following Polly- Karen Bergreen
2. While My Pretty One Sleeps- Mary Higgins Clark
3. Splendor- Anna Godbersen
4. The Space Between Us- Thrity Umrigar
5. Shoe Addicts Anonymous- Beth Harbison
6. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire- JK Rowling
7. The Inheritance of Loss- Kiran Desai

OO2. Why I Stopped Reading Sybil and Other Stories for a Bad Monday
Hey everyone!
Sybil, Sybil, Sybil, where do I start...I really genuinely wanted to like this book. But I couldn't. I found it so hard to follow, and it never really caught my interest all that much. I may have to go back and try to read it at some later time. The problem about books I read for school is that I have to read them in a certain amount of time, and be looking for certain things in it, and I don't end up enjoying the book for what it is. That really bothers me. I really don't have much more to say about Sybil other than that.
On the life side, today wasn't exactly a great day...hence the "bad monday" part of the title. I really hate prom season for starts. Just when you think you have an idea of who you're going to prom with, oh wait, you find out that you're probably not the one he's asking. That was a great situation, especially when I hadn't even thought about backups. Which is stupid because prom really shouldn't be this big deal, and I know that, but I'm making it one, and I don't know why. Nor do I like that I'm making it a big deal. Then I had this huge panic attack in school for God knows what reason. So that was pretty fantastic. Oh, and for the meantime I was in college crisis again. I got into Fordham today...which caused me to rethink Siena for a while...but ultimately, I think I made a good decision, and I wouldn't have made that decision if I wasn't certain. But I was pretty upset about it all earleir. Want to come back to high school, anyone?
Back to the book front, we're starting Frankenstein for BritLit sometime this week. I'm kind of excited for that. Other than that, I really haven't been reading that much recently, which I hope to change. I've made little progress in any of the other books I'm reading...but I think I'm going to read for a while tonight.
