It's Been A Very Big Break.


Okay so i haven't had anything really to talk about in a looooooooong time.
Or else i Suppose i have, but i guess I grew up and realised that
to prattle on about certain things isn't what i want to waste my time with:)

Almost 20. Not scared, terrified.
The day i turn Twenteen is the day i find out whether or not
I exist as a college student=/. UCD? Will yee accept me?

Probably why I'm on such a reading frenzy at the moment.
Any time i feel like pressure to going to stomp me to the bedrock
I pick up my comfort blanket, which will be the first thing i pack for college:
'The Harry Potter Books'.

These will definitely be my source of familiarity when i go to the concrete jungle. But i cannot for the life of me, come across another book or alas a set of books, that i can delve so deeply into. So i have sought elsewere. I read my first 'Girly' book as i suppose i should theme it. 'The truth about you', really was a great book, and i recommend it if your venturing down that path way of happy happy. I read 'Shutter Island' which i thought was easy to read, very exciting but a bit predictable in the end, and then, for some reason... i chose to read 'Tara Road' by Maeve Binchy.
Coming to the last two hundred of the six hundred page Everest I noted never to pick up another Binchy again! Therefore, I'm stuck. And college is drawing nearer and nearer, lurking around the corner waiting to pounce. I've recently taken a fancy to an 'Elizabeth Kostova'. I've read her book 'The Historian', and although there were times I needed 'Oxfords Dictionary' at my right hand side, i thought it was absolutely brilliant, so much so I purchased the second book she released and I'm ready to sit down and start. It's called 'The Swan Thieves', therefore I'm not expecting potions classes and a lovable ginger kid. (Oh won won... I love you.) The only way to find out was it worth the pain of going through the behemoth that was Binchy is by reading it i suppose. Better get on that. Let the plot thicken like cold custard.

I don't rant anymore. (:

I'm a huge fan of Binchey but she can be a bit long in the tooth at times, for sure.

Might try a few of your recommends, tho. I'm in the mood for something new!
