Semaine de langue étrangère

Aujourd'hui est le premier jour de la semaine de langue étrangère. Je suis si excited pour ceci ! Je vais employer le français en tant que ma langue principale parce que j'aime le français ! J'emploie la plupart du temps un transaltor en ligne parce que mes qualifications françaises manquent sévèrement.

Ainsi pendant la semaine de langue étrangère j'inclurai quelque chose française/étrangère en tout de mes poteaux. Ce peut être juste une citation, ou je peux écrire le poteau entier dans une langue différente (je fournirai toujours une traduction cependant). Joindre ainsi dedans, il est amusement ! Pour apprendre plus, cliquer ici.

Merci, Cuileann, de blogging à ce sujet et d'écarter le mot.
TRANSLATION:
Today is the first day of foreign language week. I'm so excited for this! I'm going to use French as my main language because I love French! I'm mostly using an online transaltor because my French skills are severely lacking.

So during foreign language week I will include something French/foreign in all of my posts. It may be just a quote, or I may write the entire post in a different language (I'll always provide a translation though). So join in, it's fun! To learn more, click here.

Thanks, Cuileann, for blogging about this and spreading the word.








Life as we knew it—Susan Beth Pfeffer


A meteor hits the moon. No big deal, it happens all the time. But this time is different. The moon moves closer, setting off catastrophic and apocalyptic events that kill millions of people. Life As We Knew It is a 16-year-old girl’s perspective on the end of the world.


I really liked this book. Sometimes it seemed so real I thought it actually was. It had some weird views on religion (but some people ARE weird about religion). And I wish the ending had a little more closure(that's what sequels are for!), but I liked it. It’s very real, not science-fictiony in the least like I originally thought it would be.

The Strand Prophecy—J.B.B. Winner


A cloaked figure appears outside the white house with a message for the president: The world is about to experience an evolutionary spike which will change earth’s history. This cloaked figure is Strand, and he’s trying to save the world.


This book couldn't decide whether it was a comic book or a novel and ended up being a mangled mess of both. The storyline was interesting (albeit drawn out) but the writing was gross! I recognize that it was written by two thirteen-year-old girls and their father, and I commend the girls. I can't even get a first draft out, ladies. Good for you! But as a published work... it was boring and annoying. There were somethings I really wanted to know that they hardly even talked about and things I didn't want to know and they spent FOREVER on them! Plus, the book had a catchphrase "And something more." "You are a monkey, and something more." "You are a man, and something more." "You are a mariner, and something more." Gah! There was one page where it said that three times!


I kinda liked it. It's not something I would read if I had anything else to do, but I had a few free days.

Zombie Meme

Stolen from Gretchen

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:

1. One weapon.
2. One song blasting on the speakers.
3. One famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

1. A disintegrater ray (because cleaning up after a zombie battle is just NASTY!)
2. "Girls just wanna have fun" by Cindy Lauper. I mean, imagine the irony!
3. Buffy might be cool, but I'd take volunteers from my author friends first. :) Shannon, Janette, Sarah, Julie, Jessica? You wanna fight some Zombies with me? Those are just authors I know have seen my blog...

The Host—Stephenie Meyer


Honestly, this may be one of my favorite books. It was so beautiful! So well written! So touching I even cried. Most of you know the main plot of this book, so I won’t take time describing it to you, but it was SO amazing!


What the heck?!


I don’t like Steph’s writing! Correction: I didn’t like Steph’s writing.

She’s a great storyteller, but her Twilight series leaves a lot to be desired writing wise (just my opinion, PLEASE don’t bash me).


I read The Host in 3 days. I read over 500 pages in one day! That's pretty much the entire book. I'm getting really excited for Breaking Dawn now. Has this genius actually carried over to the Twilight series? This avid reader wants to know.


Wonderful for Twilight lovers and haters. Just wonderful.
