Blood and Chocolate
So, I finished reading Blood and Chocolate and decided to Google it, I discovered that there was a movie (Don't you just love it when that happens). I went on to youtube (I love youtube =]) to watch it.
It had a good storyline, but it was totally different from the book. The characters were so OOC, especially Gabriel. The writers changed so much, I mean I absolutely loved the book, it reminded me of Twilight especially the whole forbidden love essence. It reminded me of reading fan fiction. You know how people take characters from books and write their own stories, thats what this movie was like.
Oh and I went to see Get Smart today, it was so funny =D. It's the holidays YAY!!!!

Happy and Sad Note.
First that Happy Note (Holidays!)
It is officially the holidays and I couldn't be more excited. While I will miss our weekly book club I am not going to miss the large amounts of home work. The holidays will let us all catch up with friends and reading. I have decided that I just seem to waste my holidays. I spend outrageous amounts of time sleeping and even more hours with friends. To an extent this is good, but to be honest I think I need to do something a little bit more constructive with my time, holidays are starting to get very repetitive.
So, I Have set myself a goal (don't think I am weird yet)
To get through the task of completing at least three Jane Austen Classics.
"But, Three books are nothing Cpt. Libeka!" you might say.
On the contrary, it is actually very difficult to finish a Jane Austen. For one they are so long and complicated that they involve enormous amounts of concentration (the kind which I do not often have) and two you have to look up the footnotes and different words in the dictionary for every sentence. I have to admit Jane Austen has helped to broaden my vocabulary considerable (yet, unfortunately it has not improved my spelling).
Whoa, sorry. I'm rambling a bit.
Now the 'Sad Note'.
Yesterday we said goodbye to a long time Member. Alda has been in the book club since it started and we all really sad to see her go! We will all miss her but we have promised to catch up with her lots (she might even post a few blogs still, fingers crossed).
Alda's starting at a new school next term and we all wish her the best of luck.
We will miss you!
Oh and finally, we have given ourselves 'code names'.
We wont tell you who is who or whatever but we decided to protect our privacy we shouldn't really use our real names.
Okay, last point here. I thought this was really cool.
Someone from the book club pointed this out to me yesterday.
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Koobians&meta=
We are on Google! If you search us, most people wouldn't find that very interesting. But personally I found that very cool. Have you ever tried to type your own name in on Google? Mine comes up with HEAPS of stuff about ME! Its kind of really creepy.
Have a good holiday everyone.

I'm pretty proud
I heard a rumour the other day.
"There is going to be a 5th Maximum Ride Book!"
I was like. Whoa.
So I decided to do some research!
And there is a lot of confusion on the Internet about the 5th book.
But the result is that I think there will be another book. It was on the author James Pattersons website (http://www.jamespatterson.com/) and I am excited. Nothing is confirmed yet, but it is rumoured that he released some information on his website about book number 5 that he wasn't supposed to.
THIS IS JUST A RUMOUR PEOPLE, nothing for sure yet.
But.
In the last book he left the two main characters (Fang and Max) relationship in question, I was still really confused about how they much they liked each other etc. (trying not to give too much away here) so hopefully if there is another book it will definitely help to clear up Max's clear commitment issues!
Hear that James Patterson, write another one dammit!

I'm sorry I love this picture but how bad is Jasper's wig!! I mean seriously it looks like it's about to fly off!!! Edward looks gorgeous of course but Emmet looks kinda creepy!!! Second Hand Book Shops
I have one thing to say.
Second
Hand
Bookshops
Now I know its not everyones idea of a shopping trip, but honestly it is totally worth it.
This afternoon, against my brothers better judgement, I hoped off my bus a stop early and went to this little book shop round the corner from my house. I mean, no offence, but its nothing special. Its got your typical trashy 50 cent A-Pirate-Kidnapped-the-Heroine-and-they-fall-in-love stories and your 'fantastic' high fantasy' novels (that's great, but I'm really not into those kinds of books)
Anyway, a little off track but, honestly I looked through the shelves for a few minutes and couldn't find anything worth buys.
SO as a last minute thing, I had a look through the 'specials' rack.
And I found two copies of 'The Da Vinci Dode' and another book by the same author called 'Deception Point'...
Both for $1
Know I don't know about you.. But that's a great bargain.
Not that I'm a scab or anything, but these books are in pretty good condition as well.
The point to this blog you may ask?
Well get out there and have a look around! Instead of paying.. what $50 for two books you can pay only $2, maths isn't my strong point, but you don't need maths to know that is a significant saving!
So get browsing/shopping/reading!
