Exams in a week
boy oh boy, exams are in A WEEK. what the heck am I going to do? where's the momentum? where's that fighting spirit? dang it, where has all that studying spirit gone to?
it's my A-levels exams in a week. i'm totally totally screwed and yet i'm just spending time on this laptop reading stories from "The Sims 3" and planning what i'm going to do with my own sims when i officially get one in the future. Right now I'm just playing sims through my brother's laptop which was downloaded illegally so I figure I can't get custom items from "the exchange". not that i'm going to buy the sims, but i want to have it on MY laptop, which is as of now, non-existent. LOL.
so far, i've read "The Demon's Lexicon" on my to-read list. It's an amazing book, mind you, and it's from a guy's point of view. Normally I don't read POV's of guys cuz well, i can't exactly relate to them since i'm a girl, but hey, it's not so bad after all. i mean, I DID read Harry Potter and the Watch series (by Sergei Lukyaneko, DO read it, it's highly recommended) and have found both series highly enjoyable.
here's a sypnosis of the Demon's Lexicon from Amazon.com
The Demon's Lexicon by SARAH REES BRENNAN
16-year-old Nick and his older brother, Alan, are accustomed to life on the run. Since their father was murdered, the boys have been forced to slay demons set on them by magicians seeking the powerful charm stolen by the boys' mother. Nick is furious when Alan receives a first-tier demon mark while saving a neighborhood boy. While seeking to remove it, Nick begins to suspect that his brother is lying to him about the reason for the magicians' attempts to kill them and about why their mother screams whenever Nick touches her. Fans of the Supernatural television series will be hooked from the novel's opening lines (The pipe under the sink was leaking again. It wouldn't have been so bad, except that Nick kept his favorite sword under the sink.). Even teens who don't consider themselves genre buffs will appreciate the solid writing, fast-paced plot, and sense of authenticity that Brennan gives to the shadowy world between ordinary, modern-day London and the otherworld of demons and magicians. Though Nick and Alan's story is mostly resolved with Nick discovering the truth behind his father's death and his mother's fear of him, readers will no doubt clamor for the next book in this planned urban fantasy trilogy.
That's right, this book is the first of a trilogy. the second book is releasing next year, watch out for that!!
Well, it's time for a guilt trip to study-land. See ya!
Edit: Totally forgot to add that my latest physical buy would be Assassin's Creed: Renaissance by OLIVER BOWDEN. I haven't even unwrap it yet, so you'd have to stay plugged to this journal to find out whether it'll make it as a recommended read.
