If I met you in a scissor fight.

Hello all! Welcome to my very first blog. Not much is going on at the moment. I've spent the majority of my time just enjoying summer. I'm taking advantage of all the free time I have to catch up on some recreational reading. I guess I can do a quick rundown of some good books I've gotten my hands on this summer:

* The Pact by Jodi Picoult. The story revolves around a suicide pact between two teenagers that goes awry. It was a fight to get into this book, but once I did, I enjoyed it.

*When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris. Sedaris writes short stories about his life in a very sarcastic tone. This book is a continuation of his other books, but it quite funny. Not a hard read at all and very, very fun!

*The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen something. This book is about a teenage boy who decides to pick an address out of the phonebook, and write letters to this person about his life. I think enjoyed the book more because the author chose to use that style of writing. I'm not sure if the content of the book was equally exciting, but it was a good, quick read, if anything.

I still have a laundry list of books I have sitting in my room, waiting for me to start. Of these include:

*Catcher in the Rye
*Girl Bomb
*Holidays on Ice
*Dress your Family in Denim & Corduroy.

I suppose I'll make an effort to put in recommendations of these books as I finish them.

Until then.
