Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes

Yeah. The Complete Stories Volume 1. It was pretty awesome. I went through a long phase of Sherlock Holmes. I shouldn't have read all of em at once though. I was sick to death by the end of it. :( And that's just WRONG! No one should be sick of Sherlock Holmes. :(

Interesting FACT: An episode of Sherlock Holmes was shot at Morrissey's house. Yay!!!

The Alchemist

Ah, yes. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. He is a beautiful writer. He has this way of being so simple and so meaningful. Its an art form. I did not take away as much from this one as I took away from a book i read later on in my life. I was bored at times, but I still appreciated its beauty.

Stardust

I was SO intrigued by this cover. And the star in this book-her name is Yvaine. So, yeah..it was pretty much awesome. The closest to being a star I'll ever get to. :)

Ciao America!

I dunno what inspired me to read this one back in the day but I did like that it takes place around these here parts. An Italian living in Virginia. That's sort of interesting. Some parts were Bill Bryson-esque but more of it was a little whine-y. He whined a lot. :( Hahaha, he probably wined a lot, too. I would. Wine is good.

Soul Music

Oh Wow. I LOVE books about music and this one rocks. And whats better yet? This one is amazingly funny. I love that the bands name is "The Band With Rocks In" because they don't know any better. Oh, music and literature and wit. What a great world you provide for me to get lost in.
This one is up there on my Favourite Books List. Yep, it sure is. Plus DEATH is in it and my oh my...I LOVE DEATH. I love how DEATH is a worrier and also a badass. I love how DEATH thinks in CAPS. Oh...it's just a great book!

PS: The title defines my life and how music affects me.

What My Mother Doesn't Know

So, this one is a teen book and I loved how honest the book title is. What My Mother Doesn't Know. And you know what? There's a lot mothers don't know. My mom doesn't know a whole lot about me and I don't think she wants to know half the stuff. I don't want to be like that when I'm a parent. I want to be supportive and I want to be trusted. I don't want to be the kind of parent who is in denial about their kids problems and just choose to be in the dark...

The Judgement

I really tried to conjure up the image of Shawn Green as the super rad lawyer in this series but it didn't work as well. :( The book was still really amazing, but it somehow lost a *little* charm. I know, it doesn't make sense. :( I must really really like Shawn Green.
