Excuses, excuses

Two posts in one night!!! Wow!!!! Anyway, this post is here to explain why I kind of stopped posting.

Reason 1: Summer vacation started and I do my best not to think during summer vacation. 

Reason 2: Ran out of ideas temporarily. 

Reason 3: I just started at a new school and am a thousand times busier than I was at my last school. 

Reason 4: Unlike at my last school, here I have a slight glimmer of what could be considered a life (if you twist the situation a lot)

Anyway, the reason I posted tonight was because I read a really cool book and none of my friends are nerdy enough to actually want to get into it with me. So, to let my feelings out, I'm blabbing on a blog that no one will ever actually read so whatever. 

My excuses suck and I can't promise that I will keep it up but if I have any new ideas I'll post them.

TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY

I just finished reading this book, literally about 5 minutes ago. My heart is still thumping and I have a twisty feeling in my stomach. I don't know whether it's guilt or fear or something else completely. Anyway, I just have to say that this book is extremely powerful and extremely scary because it makes you think about whether you might be on someone else's list. Is there something that you inadvertently did or said that snowballed into something terrible? Is someone around you going through the same thing? Are you the one failing to reach out and help? The way it's told is so powerful because it sounds so real and if you can just place yourself into Clay's shoes you feel every emotion he feels. It's also the kind of book that once you pick up, you can't put it down regardless of what you want. Even if you are forced to put it down, you will be yearning to know what happens next for the whole time that you are not reading. It's so suspenseful that even now, after I'm done, I still feel the need to know what will happen next. I won't say anything else in case someone else wants to read the book. Oh, and don't take this as a way to scare people away from the book. The reason we read books is to awaken things in us that real life on it's own cannot. The reason many people believe that their lives would not make good books is because they wouldn't to that person. To someone else, your life may seem incredibly interesting. Anyway, my point is, though it may have seemed like some of my comments were negative, this is actually supposed to be a glowing recommendation for this book. Everyone should read it. It mostly seems like a girly book but I think that even guys could greatly enjoy this book. So that's it.
