The Art of Multitasking

So, it's Easter.

Hope everyone had a very happy one today.

My family decided to head down to the beach for the week, so that's where I'm blogging from now. There's no wireless signal at the moment, so I'm on Mom's computer. It's interesting trying to write one of these with your parents (specifically your mother) looking over your shoulder (keep catching her out of the corner of my eye).

Also, she almost dropped the Easter Lily my Dad got her looking for the bag… Continue

Too lazy to Blog.

so, I've wanted to blog for a long time, but, I'm just too damn lazy. all these ideas pop into my head about a great blog post here on the ning, but it never makes it onto the net.

I could blog about these two brothers i saw the other day that resembled Hank and John Green, who were both wearing identical T-shirts that showed a picture of an El Camino and Said "El Camino: the Mullet of Cars" They would make Excellent Nerdfighters.

Or, I could Blog about Traveling in a… Continue

Yay for reading!

I'm so excited that I've really gotten into reading lately. Before Christmas break, my roommate got me into Twilight, and I finished the series just after the new year. Now that I'm waiting for the final book, I'm finding other things to read. I loved 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson, so I decided to purchase The Golden Firebird by her as well. I finished it last week and really enjoyed it, so today I went out and bought The Bermudez Triangle, and I do… Continue

13 Little Blue Envelopes!

Ok! So, I bought the book Sunday at around seven. Finished half the book at about two or three in the morning Monday. Then finished the book at about 11:50 pm Monday and 12:00 am Tuesday.

What can I say about this book that a lot of Nerdfighters don't already know? (Well, those that read the book.)

I guess I can start with what I liked about it.

First off all, even though the character of Aunt Peg is revealed through the letters, she is robust and ever changing.… Continue

Blurbing Book Club

"Ginny Blackstone finds herself in Europe, by getting totally lost!"

Okay I finished my blurb!
Definitely late, but my library had checked out our copy until just the other day! I suspect I have some fellow Nerdfighters in town... very curious! I'll have to investigate this further!

Luckily I checked out the copy of Slaughterhouse Five in time, so I'll be ready to go this next time! Yay!
This is a great project, Thanks Hank!

DFTBA
-me!

Blurbing Book Club! 13 Little Blue Envelopes

The Blurb: "In following her aunt's journey, she finds herself"

This is late, and I totally don't mind if it isn't counted, I just wanted to put it out there.

I actually read 13 Little Blue Envelopes last summer, along with The Bermudez Triangle, and I am awed by Maureen Johnson's skill and it makes me happy that all her characters are such strong young women.

Off to read #2!

Blurbing Book Club - Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes

Marvelous! Ten! There's hell in this non-stop teen jubilee!

(It's an anagram for "Maureen Johnson's Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes)

I came up with the idea, but my friend, Rudi, did the actual anagramming.

Blurbing book club!

Yay for Blurbing! I really liked 13 Little Blue Envelopes! Go Maureen Johnson! Anyways, my official blurb is..... *Drumroll* "A thought-provoking, adventurously inspiring read." Excellent book! I can't wait to read the next Blurbing book!

BTW, where I live it's still Sunday, so I'm good, right?

Anyways, Best wishes!

Blurbing Book Club: 13 Little Blue Envelopes.

A train ride through the mysteries of life...

Okay, so I know it's not great. Actually it's terrible. But I've just finished it, I'm tired, and I need to get to sleep so I can take high school graduation tests tomorrow. I would spen more time thinking, but I need to sleep.
It was a really great book and I'm so glad I read it!

Blurbalicious Blurb for 13LBE.

Instructions from a crazy aunt leads to an exciting adventure.

i know, i know, it sucks. leave me alone, i've been busy ;)

i picked up vonnegut's book from the library on friday, and so far i like it. i've never read any of his books, so i didn't really know what to expect. so far, so good.

My Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes Blurb

"A story about going postal...in both senses of the word."

ok, it's not clever if you don't notice the implied pun but if it weren't for that darn word limit it would've been "The story of a girl going postal because of an aunt gone postal" which sounds better....although now that I think about it, it still sounds a bit dumb...oh well.

and if the blurbing contest is over...oh well, too.

EDIT: The contest is over and I am very happy and honored that my… Continue

Blurbing Book Club! 13 Little Blue Envelopes

I really like this book and devoured it in two days. I also gave my copy to one of my students....I almost had to then take it away because she started reading it in class. Anyway, here is my attempt to summarize my many overflowing thoughts into 10 words or less. A real challenge for some one who has always been forced through all of school to stretch a statement.

"Explore life and love without all the anxiety of puberty."

The above is going to be my final… Continue

The Blurbing Book Club: Book One

Maureen Johnson: 13 Little Blue Envelopes

I *loved* this book. Absolutely loved it! And I desperately want to travel Europe...though, maybe not *quite* how Ginny did. I also really enjoyed all the "Extras" in the back of the book. I love author Q&A about anything really. Personal life and experiences, story and character ideas and development, and I'll never pass up a chance for a little more of that MJ wit and humor. I especially loved the Q&A with Kyle, from the… Continue

Blurbing Blook Blub

Did you know that the Blurbing Book Club can be shortened to BBC? That could be confusing.

Anyway, I kind of came up with a maybe decent blurb for 13 Little Blue Envelopes.

"A light-hearted look at loss, love, journey, and guidebooks."

The end. 10 words exactly.

I've been hearing a lot of great things about Slaughterhouse-5, which I have not read, so I'm really excited to start on it. The Blurbing BC is a great idea.

Blurbing Book Club

This blog comes in three parts. Part One: My Blurb

"The perfect excuse for a trip to Europe."

-Chelseyjane

Part Two: the reason for my blurb

(this may not be as poignant or insightful as many blurbs about the book, but it is what the book was for me. I am going to London in May, and this was the push that made me stop being lazy and book the tickets!)

Part Three: the next blurbing book club book (an excuse to say "blurbing" again)

Also, just have… Continue
