Farwell, 2010!

Welcome 2011!

For me, this has been an okay year. It was definitely better than last year (highschool/grade 9 sucks) but I seem to have missed out on a lot with my homework and general business. I failed to complete my goals (if I had any... resolutions post is coming up!) yet I feel okay. It's just another year. I have 80 of them left.

QUIZ:

1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?
I stood up for myself and went to the University Fair in Toronto. I'm feeling better now, and my future is decided (but a mystery to you!)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Sarah and the Cat!  It's rare to have him this photogenic, so be merry :)

P.S. my favourite Christmas gift?  Swiss army knife :)  --- or my Learning-German book! :)

Books In Real Life

copywrites on this one go to me -
but who would want to steal this
lovely blurryness anyways?

Do you recognize this?  Probably not.  It's a sculpture in Yorkdale Mall - somewhere that is busy, but not known world-wide.  I walked through it on my way to the subway, which took me to the ROM.

Yet, I had to stop like a tourist and take a picture.  I bet lots of people thought I was crazy.  Why did I take this picture?  It's a book come to life.


I don't know how many people have read Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan (if you haven't you need to, because it's great) but I have, and I absolutely love the book.  Scott Westerfeld is reaching the top of my favourite author list fast.  His books are a lot like Mortal Engines, if you've read that one, and a better version of Keys to the Kingdom.. maybe even a bit like Inkspell or a more sci-fi Shiver.

Silver Bells - 4 days until Christmas

Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner
you'll hear

My Life Looks A Little Like This;

I'm inside, working on all sorts of papers like this; English essays, French assignments, history projects, business tests.  (This week I had 3 French quizzes, a English test, business test, history test, 2 history projects, and 3 books to read in English and French).  TOO.  MUCH.

Book Review: Num8ers

Num8ers by Rachel Ward                7/10

I picked up this book because of the cover.  It's intriguing and beautiful, but dangerous.  It sort of scared me at first, but I couldn't put it down...

Actually, it's a lot like the book.

Num8ers by Rachel Ward is fairly good.  I liked the characters, the style, and the plot.  I didn't like how unfair their lives were, and the sad ending.  Overall, I think this book grows on you.  I read it a while ago, and the longer I think about it, the more I like it.
