Fin
I finished it...
Now I have to wait until next summer to know what happens next.
The only thing worse than this, is when I actually finish the series. It's a strange feeling, it's satisfying, but sad. Closing the book is literally like closing the last page on that chapter of my life. It's depressing in a way, but where one chapter closes another opens...in this sense, another book opens. Evidently I'm on an angel kick so I've picked up Halo. I have a couple other ones that I really want to read but they either have too similar of a plot or the same character names as Fallen and I don't want to get them confused. One being Ann Brashares My Name is Memory. Now the similarities in these two stories are uncanny.
Plot:
Fallen: Two star crossed lovers trying to be together through many lives. Book takes place in the current life where something has changed and there is a possibility that the cycle will end.
My name is memory- Two star crossed lovers trying to be together through many lives. Book takes place in the current life where something has changed and there is a possibility that the cycle will end.
Fallen- Boy remembers all the past lives, Girl doesn't
My Name is Memory- Boy remembers all the past lives, Girl doesn't
Character names:
Fallen- Lucinda (Luce) and Daniel
My Name is Memory- Lucy and Daniel
Now that is just a little too coincidental, don't ya think.I do. Now you can see why i'm hesitant to start My Name is Memory, when I've already read Fallen. They do have some big differences too though, Fallen deals with Fallen angels while I assume that the other does not. Tonight I am looking forward to sitting on the couch cuddled up in a blanket, watching the 31 days of Halloween on abc and doing my French homework.
Bon Nuit Tout Le Monde!

Homework...Not Reading...Homework! Homework!
The year: 2010, the Day: September 29th.
So many books start like that and I've always thought it was kind of funny...so I started my blog with it. :) SOOOO much to do and absolutely NO motivation so do any of it. I want to cuddle up in my bed with my blanket, my boy, and my book. (Torment, see previous blogs) HOWEVER, I have to do my grammar homework and I should probably practice that song I have to sing this weekend, or ya know...clean my mess of a room. BUT like I said...NO motivations so I'll probably just do my grammar homework and watch supernatural...oh and read my book. :)
I get to see my family this weekend! Morgan is getting married and so obviously the family is coming down. My mom told me that Dex got that job in Nebraska. So they are moving in a month. I couldn't imagine just uprooting and leaving all my friends, my family, and my job to a different state. That would be really hard for me, I hope that Morgan is ok with it because I'm sure she is pretty stressed right now with all the last minute details of the wedding.Good thing I've been planning my wedding since I was 14. :) It will be lovely, I just need a million dollars and I'll be all set and ready. (Don't worry, I'm not getting married for at least 4 years)
So I started Torment, I'm on chapter 1. I'm trying really hard to go VERY slow, but I'll give it until about chapter 5 before I can't put it down. This is really a horrible week for you to finish this book Lauren Kate... It's D-Days now, and I have a wedding this weekend AND next week is mid-terms. I have ZERO time to read, and if I do then it is time that I should be spending studying for my Grammar, History, French and Astronomy tests, or writing my Comp paper. I have the worst discipline ever. That's always been a problem, If I want something I buy it/get it. If i don't want to do something I don't do it. Hopefully this is something that I can deal with or that it doesn't apply to important things. Well I'm gonna go read... I mean DO MY HOMEWORK. :)

Starting the Day Right with Starbucks and Books
The day has come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My book, Torment, has finally be published. Ok so it's not MY book per say... it's Lauren Kate's book...but I now have my copy of said book. This is where I get to make you all feel sad because your boyfriend is so not as cool as mine. Right after my french class today, Chris drove me to Sioux City, first to Starbucks so I could get a proper breakfast, which includes a Black Forest Ham artisan sandwich (wonderful Starbucks sandwiches pictured below...makes your mouth water),
and a Venti Black Unsweetened Iced Tea. (Which is a really long fancy way of saying Really Big Ice Tea. After Starbucks he drove me to Barnes and Noble, where I got to buy (woohoo) Torment which I have been waiting for all summer. Then we drove back to Vermillion so I could make my 2 o'clock class. He really is such an amazing boyfriend, I couldn't ask for more. :)
Now i'm sitting in my room staring at the book which is sitting just to my right of the laptop. It is a lovely cover.

Isn't it pretty? Anyway, I'm sitting staring at this lovely cover and like I am with every other book series that I love...I don't know if I should start it. That would mean that I would have to wait a YEAR before the next book (Passions) comes out. You know how long a YEAR is???? I haven't even known Chris for a YEAR, so that means I have to wait longer than a the amount of time we've been dating to read the next book. Do you see my debacle? However, If I don't read it now, then it'll be sitting on my shelf taunting me. I'll start reading it soon but I'm not too excited about this YEAR I have to wait.
So I've decided to venture back to my childhood and play Pokemon... before you judge...It is actually a pretty fun game, and my deck is a fire damage so it's pretty strong. It's a lot of fun, and while Chris and I are both really competitive and fight every time we play, it is something that we both like to do together, which is cool. The plan for the rest of the night is simple: Beat Kayla at Pokemon, Watch Glee (Britney, Brittany episode so excited), Do French Homework, Finish Grammar Homework, Meet up with Laura at the FA so I can work on the song for the wedding. ( I can't wait until Sunday)
If you actually made it this far, (and read every word) I'm impressed, If you skimmed and got the basics that is still a lot of skimming but I'm not quite as impressed. Either way, I'm done rambling and about to go whoop some ass with my Charzard.
