Phwaaaaa

THANK GOD FOR THE SUN TODAY!!!!!!! Aaaaah it was so lovely. Me, my mom, my older sister, and my little brother went on a walk downtown to Aunties Book Store. It was lovely. the sun was shining and riverfront park was just gorgeous. the river was beautiful. Unfortunately I completely forgot to bring my camera. :P It was a wonderful walk. We walked in to the book store and was welcomed by the wonderful smell of new and used books. Cc was very happy. ;) And I got a book! It's called The Boggart by Susan Cooper. It's VERY good. :) One of my favorites.

speeeeaking of books! I've been reading quite a lot lately. thats probably one of the reasons why I haven't posted in awhile. I got around to reading Eragon! ( I did it kathryn! lol) ... I laughed through the the first few chapters... I'm sorry... It's terribly written! But it was written by a 15 year old, so what do you expect, you know? But I tried to look past the bad writing and just focus on the story. and I got through it. I found that the characters were VERY underdeveloped to the point where I didn't care at all when Brom died. Eragon was a whiny complainer. he would throw hissy fits ALL THE TIME. It got pretty annoying. It wasn't a bad story though. if someone took the plot and rewrote the whole thing, it would be a pretty good book and might even make it to my favorites list. But I was unimpressed. I must confess that I enjoyed it enough that I might pick up the next book in a few months. But I'm really not in a hurry. :)
I've also been reading a lot of historical fiction. thats been a lot of fun. I found a author that I like a lot. her name is Elisa Carbone. I just love the way she writes. I just read a book by her called "Stealing Freedom" About a little slave girl who escapes through the Underground railroad. It was very good. :)

I get to see CYT's Cinderella! I'm soooo excited! I might be auditioning for a show next month. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. :) I loooove that show. the music is amazing. :) I'm pretty excited. I really hope I can do it. and if I can't, there is another show my friends dad is directing. so I might audition for that too. :) So many shows, so little time. hehe.
