Current Loves...

I am a book lover. If I find a good book,  I will eat it up like there's no tomorrow. People marvel at how quickly I read...but it's not my fault. It's the author's. Some people just have a way with words that pulls me into the story and will not release me until I come to the final page. Such authors include Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games), Beverly Lewis (Amish fiction), Beverly Clearly (Ramona books...yes!-I'm 17 years old and I love Ramona! :)) and now Jerry Spinelli. I just discovered him yesterday. I stopped by my public library yesterday, and noticed his books sitting pretty in the young adult section. I am currently in the middle of his "Stargirl". It's a pretty fabulous book. Narrated by her soon-to-be-boyfriend Leo, it follows the story of Susan, er, Stargirl as she lives life to the fullest.

Another current favorite of mine is Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax". It's a pretty splendid movie. It's happy. It's sad. It's fun. It's serious. It's humerous. It's inspirational. It's a fabulous family movie...kids will laugh at the cuddly bears and the fluffy Lorax. Parents will appreciate the hidden truths. There are great Christian messages in this film. It's not a Christian movie, but watch carefully, and you can't help but see them!

And on that note, I shall wrap up! Hope y'all have a super day! Later! :)
