Along For the Ride and Knit Two

New Sarah Dessen book! I have read all of her books (except Lock and Key. When did I miss it? lol). I was walking through Borders, which has been changed completely. The music section has been whacked down into one shelf. ONE SHELF! Now I am a huge Borders fan and frequently buy music in there to support them in their music selling. And now I am forced to buy my music at other store where I find it not as nearly satisfying to buy music from. The young adults section has moved and now I can't find and of the art of fashion books!! Its insane!

So off topic :)

Well, on a Sunday, after Church, I was in border with my sister who was ogling over the Twilight books when I came upon Along for the Ride and I screamed inside, "I have to have this!" So, naturally I bought it and read it in a day. All in all, it was a good book. I like the issue that Dessen presented in her novel. All of her books have the common theme of being a sort of coming of age story, which is awesome because she is so great at them. My fall up with her as a writer though is that the plot kind of get old. She tends to keep to the plot. Girl has problem. Girl finds boy. Girl and boy like each other. Girl and Boy help each other grow. Girl and boy get in fight. Girl and boy get together in the end.

However, the book is good. Its a good grab to take to the beach and read. Heck, its just a good read! :)


And now.........Knit Two!!!!!!!!

Kate Jacobs, I love you! I read the first book about six months ago and it made me want to knit. I'm in the process of making a scarf right now actually! The story is beautiful however tragic it may be, and I would strongly recommend that you read the first book before you tackle the second. This is one of those books that is hard to pick up on if you don't know the story from the first book.

In all honestly, I liked the second book a lot better than the first one. The story line was great. The writing beautiful. The characters were glowing and so full of life! Spectacular! Loved it! Read it!

My next book is call Let Me Eat Cake and I should be blogging about this soon.

Until next time..............
