Project Tell Taylor :)

Michelle Madow's debut novel Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She talked all about it in a blog entry a few months ago, and even sent a letter to Taylor Swift along with a signed book!

It's been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she's offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.

The giveaway is at this link, and its a huge swag pack!

Summary thing about Remembrance:

New Hampshire high school junior Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she seem to get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, the pair of them soon find that fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

BOOK CRUSHES

Idea from a friend of mine (Joanne P.) XD

So, some of my friends and I have the bad habit of having crushes on characters from books :P
As of now my crushes include:

• Howl from Howl's Moving Castle (to an extreme degree) xD
• Sam from Incarnate
• Adam Hauptman from Mercy Thompson (to a lesser degree)
• Four/Tobias from Divergent
• Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone (although to a lesser degree)
• Avian from Eden (to a lesser degree)
• Henry from the Goddess Test (to a lesser degree)
• Jason from the Heir Chronicles (to a lesser degree)
• Numair from the Immortals Quartet >.<
• Briar from the Circle of Magic Quarter
• Will from Ranger's Apprentice (to a lesser degree)

I never realized there were so many O.o
LOL
Anyways, those are the ones I can think of right now, I'm sure there are many more, accumulated over many years XD

BYE!

Howl's Moving Castle (movie) Review

The main character of of this movie is Sofi, a girl who works in the hat shop of her dead father. One day she meets Howl while he saves her from two local boys who intercepted her on the way to her sisters. The Witch of the Waste is unhappy about this and decideds to turn Sofi into an old lady. Sofi decides to take refuge in Howl's castle and travels there. In Howl's castle (along with Howl and his apprentice Markl) lives a fire demon named Calcifer. Calcifer makes a deal with Sofi; if Sofi can break the spell that binds Calcifer to Howl, Calcifer will break the curse on Sofi. Sofi discovers a different type of life at Howl's Castle and decides she likes it, all the while falling slowly in love with Howl. However, how will this "family" survive in the war zone that is currently their homeland?

This movie was quite excellent. Before seeing this, the only movie of Hayao Miyazaki that I had seen was Spirited Away, so I had high expectations. Miyazaki did not disappoint. His characters are utterly amazing! The way he originized the story was also quite wonderful, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. The only thing that actually annoyed me was that at the end of the movie where, out of nowhere, came a love triangle.
Me: O.o

Hai!

This being my first post, I'm just gonna have random crap in it cause I have never done this before and feel like I should test this out...
^Really long sentences is something you will probably see....

That is all.
