long time gone
Ever read a book so good you mourned when it was over?
I just did... two of them. I feel kind of cheesy since I just added the author on LJ and she just added me back and THATS SO AWESOME, but I need to write. Something.
I just finished "Linger" by Maggie Stiefvater, which is the sequel to "Shiver." Both books are absolutely amazing. My mom had it in her library from her book trading days. (Shiver is actually an ARC/Advanced Reading Copy my mom somehow comes upon. Its a good excuse to buy the published version when I'm in a bookstore next~
They're both Bestsellers, and for good reason. Yes, they're about werewolves, but Twilight can't even hold a candle to this. These books are going on my black bookself, top self. Joining the other half dozen or so books you'll never, ever see me sell, give away, or leave. These are going with me when I move--- Japan or elsewhere.
I stretched out reading the book for a week or two, only allowing myself a chapter or two before bed so I could savor it. Last night I couldn't help and finish it. ;_; Its really a great book. Creative, lyrical, there is romance and kissing. Its one of those books I can 'see'. It just plays out in your head perfectly.
It inspired me with roleplays/writing with Kiyo. It got me folding paper cranes again.
(Good, cause I plan on folding 1,000 to bring to Kure when I go back.)
Its just. so. good.
Read it.
I guess I should say I'm sorry for not actually LJ-ing. I've been on the website every day to read, but I really just haven't felt like writing. The most I've done is Facebook statuses. I think everyone on here already has me on facebook regardless.
The last 3 months have been insane. My dads out of the hospital (after 3 months) and so far, so good. No more signs of the flesh eating bacteria. My dad was talking on the phone and I heard him say that there has been 4 cases in the past couple of months in Overlake hospital. My dad has been the only one to survive. :D
I'm going to UW!! Go huskies!! Goodbye money. I have to call the Financial aid office and make sure I get my student loans in time for orientation/registration.
Also, I am going as Tonks to Dream Camp. :B
