Book Blog Post.

I have resolved to keep up with this blog more, and I've decided that means when I see questions in other people's blogs that I follow that say "ANSWER THESE" I probably will.

On Tuesday Rachel, wrote a post asking two questions about books:

1. What is the last book you read and what are your FEELINGS about that book?

2. What are your FAVORITE books and WHY are they your favorites?

So, I'm going to answer them. Here we go.

1. The last book I finished was Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. I really loved it, I read it in, like 12 hours, and it only took me that long because I had to work. I just loved how believable and real life like the characters are. I really enjoyed Anna and the French Kiss, so I knew I would like Perkins second book, but seriously, LOVED IT. The relationships between all the different characters were just so believable. That's what I really enjoy in a book, a world were everything could happen.

I don't really read love stories all that often, so when I do, I seem to really enjoy the change of pace for my regular reading.

Clearly, I'm not the best at giving book reviews, but either way, I really liked this book, and I look forward to her next one.
 
2. My favorite book is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. I've read it, like nine times, and each time it feels different. I tend to re-read it when I'm in a bad place and it fixes me, reminds me that things get better. That book means more to be than most people. I feel better knowing that it's within an arms reach, I feel safe with it around. To me that book is so much more than just the story, it's how it found me and the place I was in when I read it the first time. That book saved me, and continues to save me every time I read it.

The Harry Potter series has had a similar impact on my life. That series is basically my entire life, and I wouldn't change that for anything. I wouldn't be Deanna without Harry Potter and those characters, the people I've met because of them.

That's pretty much what I have to say about books at this time.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because it's pizza party day at work, and even though I do not like pizza, I'm going anyway to hang out with my friends.

Jobs!?! and I have weird friend

I had a job interview today! It was at Walmart, but still JOB! I basically have it, but they have to check my references and awesomely enough both of my former bosses are on vacation this week... So possibly by this time next week, I might have a job!! Unless Adam is a totally douche canoe, which is oddly likely but still #yes

Did I just hash tag my blog? Yes, yes I did.

My dad also believes that Neville will come home. I'm interested to see how he reacts to have three cats if this happens, especially considering that Spencer hisses at everything, Indy is mentally unstable and Neville will eat anything that moves.

I got questions in the comments, this is also a reminder to ask me questions, so that I don't bore you to death with my boringly boring life.

My friend, asked me which I preferred, Tumbr or Blogger. This is an unfair question. There is no comparing. Yes, there are both blogging websites, but I see Tumblr more like a twitter with more Harry Potter, and by Harry Potter, I mean StarKid, and by StarKid, I believe Jen will know what I mean.

OH! Speaking of Tumblr, I saw the most amazing thing, which probably no one else will find funny. There is a video that's a behind the scenes StarKid scene and there's a .gif of Joe Walker eating Ice Cream and a comment from the video labeled "BEST youtube video comment ever: Is there any reason one of the kids is eating ice cream with a fork?" /things only I find hilarious.

Anyways, I like blogger for writing. I prefer it for writing. Tumblr is for short things, I tend to be long winded even when I'm not talking about anything, which I'm sure ya'll have noticed. I'm not, like, good at making things, but I like seeing things that other people have made. I enjoy reblogging them and giggling at things until iced tea squirts out my nose and I have to explain to my Dad what just happened. My Dad finds youtube comments unfunny

Also JenJen, I FOUND that Kevin is a Hufflepuff.

There is literally no way to end this blog entry in a way that makes any logical sense. So...

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
