Well, I Forgot to Post a Notice About Hiatus....

So, here it is, I suppose.... About a month too late, actually.... But the reason I'm put the blog on a temporary HIATUS is because I did have to go to my college orientation (which was probably the BIGGEST waste of time and two days, since all they did was repeat all the same things over and over again). Then I had to get all of my stuff in my house, along with my brother's since I pretty much packed all of his stuff as well, into boxes so my parents could get it all moved to Texas (since that's where they're moving to after I head off to college) while Chase (my brother) and I went to Florida to visit my family. We're still here and I just now finally got an internet connection in my aunt's barn apartment (which, since my brother and I are older, we get to stay in. =D). Exciting and super busy, yes?

But let my say that I have no idea what I was thinking, bringing as many books with me as I did, plus finding two more books at this awesome book store that sold $20 books for $3, and then my Aunt Kelly gave me TWO MORE books. So my count right now of the amount of books I actually have is 9, but one of those books has every single Jane Austen novel, so technically I have 16.

And here's the list I have. I haven't decided if I'll do reviews of any of them, yet, or if the blog's hiatus is even over, but just so I can put it out there with a few of my thoughts on those that I have read:


The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Sherman Alexie)- I have this book because my school gave it to me and told me to read it over the summer. I read it in about 4 hours at my grandparents' house the other day. It's not my favorite book ever, but it certainly wasn't the worst one, either. It was funny, and I also enjoyed the pictures, though.

The Lovely Bones (Alice Sebold)- One of the books my Aunt Kelly gave me. I loved it, even though it was really sad.

Kiss Me, Kill Me (Lauren Henderson)- I got this at the $3 store, but I haven't gotten to it just yet.

Someday My Prince Will Come (Jerramy Fine)- Another $3 store find, but I haven't gotten to this one either.

Dear John (Nicholas Sparks)- I haven't read it yet.

Versailles: A Biography of a Palace (Tony Spawforth)- This is what I started last night at midnight. I've only read the preface and looked at the map, so far, though. I think it looks good so far, though. =D

Picture Perfect (Jodi Picoult)- Got it from my Aunt Kelly, and I haven't read it yet.

Emma (Jane Austen)- Emma has a book all to itself, because carrying my huge Jane Austen book is a hastle on the airplane. I loved it though. But Pride and Prejudice is still my favorite.

Seven Novels of Jane Austen- I'll get to it eventually. =D

Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette (Sena Jeter Naslund)- I had to bring it and reread it, but my Aunt Nique is currently borrowing it. =D


So, there we go. If I decide to review a book, then I'll get it up, if not, then I'm not doing anything. =D Make sense?

Thanks for reading!

Love,

Kristi
