First Look
Ok, so I got bored just before dinner tonight, and signed up for this harper-collins first look reviewing thing. IDK. It sounds kinda cool and I really don't have anything else to do... so I did it. I have pretty much run out of new stuff to read and have now reverted back to historical fiction. I have read everything from pretty much every author I've had any potential interest in. So... on that note... anyone with any good fantasy or sci-fi books please, begging you, please, give me a title or authors name... I'll read pretty much anything by this point.
You know what annoys me more than almost anything? Censorship. My mom has started to bug me to give her a good book to read from my collection. She says it's because she doesn't have anything good to read... but I think otherwise. And as I was combing through my books trying to find something to satisfy her, I realized that I have very few books that I wouldn't get in trouble for reading. (my mom is overly protective) Out of like three big shelves of books, I found three that I would even think about letting her borrow. I like the books I read... I'm not about to let her take that away from me. She would be very angry if she picked any four of the last 25 books I've read. I mean, I don't read really smutty stuff, but she just has a tendency to over-react. Something that wouldn't even phase another mom has mine in a tizzy. Ugh! I hate this! I had to "lend" some of my worse books to a friend, just in case my mom took it upon herself to look at my shelves. one of those was eclipse... come on... nothing really bad in that you may say... but you don't live with my mom. okay. so some of the books I read weren't meant to be read by a sixteen year old. *cough* mists of avalon *cough* but that doesn't mean they arent good...
