My first Book Review


"What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.

Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.

Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.

Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.

He is Death and he's about to break all the rules."  ~Abbie Glines         
 
I loved this book, its something that is completely different from anything I have ever read. It is such an  strange, fantastic idea; that death could fall in love with a soul. This story reminds me of the movie Meet Joe Black; which I must say is one of my favorite movies!

 Back to the book though, if you are one of those girls out there that loves dark, magical, romance then this is the book for you. Abbi Glines did an amazing job at writing Existence. The love that Dank (death) and Pagan share is something so powerful; it sometimes felt like I was actually in the book when I was reading. I can not wait to read the rest of Pagan and Danks journey, I hope it has a happy ending. c:

2012 Olympic Beach Volleyball Final


I don't know about you guys, but I have been in love with Beach Volleyball this year! These are two amazing USA teams that will be competing against each other in the final for the Olympic Gold Medal. The team that I am rooting for with all my heart is Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor. They are so amazing! The way they work with each other is unlike anything I have ever seen. It's like one knows what the other is going to do before they do it; I hope that makes sense. I am wishing them all the luck I can give tomorrow. Who are you rooting for? Leave a comment and tell us; I would love to hear from you!

The New Beauty And The Beast

I don't know about you guys, but I am so siked about the CW remaking the Beauty And The Beast TV series! Last year I really got into the older series, it was my favorite for awhile. I just fell in love with the connection Caherine and Vincent had. 

Back in the day my grandma was totally in love with this series and when she found out I was just as in love, she started watching them with me. It was a fun bound we had; I remember staying up late in my bedroom watching episode after episode with her on my computer. Those are memories I will never forget. Just yesterday when I found out about the remaking, I called my grandma right away. You could tell she was pretty siked too! Hehe!

I think they chose the perfect actors to be the new Catherine (Kristen Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan). I will miss the old actors, but I am really excited for whats new and different! What do you guys think? Do think they chose the right actors? Are you going to be watching it this year? Oh, by the way the series premiere is on October 11th! Yay!
