• Someone runs this site?

    Yes they do! And it has a name. In fact, it's not even an it, its a she! Ok. I'll give you a moment to process that information.

    Ok, so it's, excuse me, her name is Athena, she is a freshman putting her around 14 years of age. What, you want to know even more about her, what are you, a stalker? *shesh* fine.

    She likes books, a lot. I mean she's gotta have 100s of the things stacked around her room, her bookshelf has long since been filled so the floor has taken over as their place of residence.

    Music is another of her interests, her voice could make your ears bleed but she can play the piano decently and greatly enjoys it. Her music collection is even more extensive than her books. In this new fangled world of technology we have these days she has very few actually CDs but via itunes her collection is quite extensive. Mostly centering around who knows what, how many times do you find Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, and The Killers in one itunes library? Let along Adele, Duffy, and Wolfmother. Yes, eclectic at the least.

    Some other loves of hers are sewing (she has a love hate relationship with a sewing machine from the 70s) sketching and Matthew Gray Gubler.

    Ok, this is getting a wee bit on the long side.. But hell, it's her site, why should she stop there huh? HUH? Ok so wanna know more about this maverick of a girl? Click the pretty little about link to your left and read your little heart out.

    • Yepsidoodles. I am cleaning me room.

    Filed under Books - Word Count: 722

    Listening to: Hotel Song - Regina Spektor

    So I am currently cleaning my room or at least I should be.. It looks clean on the surface as long as you don’t look to hard you wont notice the desk covered in assorted crap, the overflowing laundry basket, the cracker crumbs on the floor, the books piled up so you can’t open the closet, the barely closed dresser drawers, and the closet which is a walk in by name only. I feel bad letting it get this far and my mom promised me she would take me by barns and noble tomorrow if I clean it up.. Once again my unread book supply is dwindling..

    I am almost done with The Luxe, Hero, The Queen’s Soprano, The A-List, and The Sweet Far Thing. So about 500 pages of reading left.. I will finish The Sweet Far Thing today no doubt, it’s getting really good but I don’t want to give anything away ;).. I’m not quite done with the other two but here is my review of each..

    The Luxe: This book is ok.. It’s set in manhattan at the end of the 19th century. Basically Gossip Girl with balls and horses. It’s rather predictable and the charicters are very steriotipcial. I’m really not that wild about it, there are tons of better books set in this time period *cough* A Great and Terrible Beauty *cough* I wouldn’t really recommend this book to anybody, it’s like 400+ pages long and plotless. Final verdict: 4/10 (The balls and manhattan count for something..)

    Hero: This book is about a teenage boy with a homophobic father and has been hiding from him that he’s gay. He also happens to be a super hero. This book puts a good twist into an old story. I would recommend this book to anybody 14+ it isn’t really something you would read to your 8 year old as a good night story, it can be violent at times and also deals with racism and sexism. Overall I would give this book a 7.5/10 It can drag on sometimes and the plot moves along very slowly.

    The Queen’s Soprano: Wow! I love this book. It takes place in 17th century Rome. Angelica’s voice is beautiful beyond belief but the pop has banned women from performing in public and her talent could get her killed. She falls in love with Theodon, a French artist, who listens two her sing from behind closed shutters. Her mother is trying to sell her off to the highest bidder to marry and is determined to control Angelica. Angelica runs away from home and joins the court of Queen Christina where she is allowed to sing freely. But even then her life is in danger. Many people want her silenced. So yeah pretty suspencefull I would recomend this book to people +13 it can be a little graphic at times and it might be a little disturbing for people younger than that (no offense). I would give it a 9/10 I really am loving it and it shows how sexist the society really was.

    You already know what I think of the other book so I won’t review them..

    I am currently in love with block quotes for some reason! They are so pretty and they break up my blog nicely..

    The revamp is moving along, slowely. I am at a dead loss of what to do for the next layout. I am still getting the rest of the pages worked out and I am planning on fixing up the brush previews and font previews and other minor tweaks like that.

    Yesterday I stayed up until after 4 in the morning watching movies with my neighbor Evan (He is Annalisa’s older brother. You may of heard about her in my blogs and she comments sometimes..) . I’ve known him since third grade (we were in the same class)..

    We watched The Simpsons movie twice.. It was really funny and then we watched some documentary on OPB about some bridge in China and then we watched Cheaper By The Dozen 2. It was better than I thought it was. The ending was fairly fluffy but some parts were really good. It wasn’t as good as the first though.

    So tata for now I better get back to my room cleaning..

      Dear Athena,

      Haha, my room always looks rather like that, I can be rather messy at times :P
      Those books sound pretty cool though, The Luxe can’t be half bad!

      XOXO Eilidh

      Dear Athena,

      Just commenting to say thank you for the book ideas =) I have been looking for a good book, and I’m almost positive I was about to buy the Luxe from looking at the cover. I probably won’t now, but I might look in to reading The Queen’s Soprano.

      And you reminded me that my room is a complete disater as well haha.

      XOXO Lauren

      Dear Athena,

      Woo, cleaning can be such a joy =P Good luck with that! The Queen’s Soprano sounds like a really interesting book! I don’t read very often anymore, but I really should, so I should definately check it out! Anyways, happy new year!

      XOXO Mahala

      Dear Athena,

      You really like to read.
      I’ve watched both movies and I liked them too. It’s nice to have some old friends around to watch movies and after that to make fun about everything we saw in that movie…

      XOXO Monica

      Dear Athena,

      Hello, Athena! I was just wondering if you have any link back buttons. If yopu don’t, thats OK. But if you don’t, I think I’ll make you one. Is that all right with you? Hehe. Cleaning is fun. Speaking of books, by the way-I just finished reading Twilight and I love it! Cannot wait to get my fanny over to the bookstore and buy the sequel.

      XOXO So Ching Hwa

      Dear Athena,

      Now I want to read The Quuen’s Soprano! Next time I go to the book shop I should go take a look at that. Haha. I bet you my room is 10 times worse messy wise than yours is. I just cleaned it two weeks ago but things always fall over and I never bother to pick them up. XP

      XOXO Catherine
