So I'm still working on On Agate Hill, and it's turning out to be pretty good. I'm only about 40ish pages through it. The main character is a lot younger in the beginning than I though she would be, but I'm assuming she'll get older as the story progresses. Who knows, we'll see.
That's about it. But I did keep my promise to update more, so...points to me there.

I'm Baaaaaaack
Well I fell like a prize idiot. I never can stick to things long, and I guess this wasn't an exception. I am, however, going to update this a lot more.
Anyway, so much has happened since my last post. My boyfriend and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary in October, I went to Youmacon, my college football team went to Alabama, and as a band member, I went too, the semester came and went, I passed all of my exams, and here we are in the new semester. Woo.
So I haven't been reading much in the past few months - there was no time! But I am starting a new novel, On Agate Hill by Lee Smith. It's historical fiction, so if you like the Civil War era, you might want to pick it up. Or not. I don't really know yet.
One book I did finish in the past few months was the last Georgia Nicholson book, Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison. This is one of my favorite series ever, and it was sad to see it end, but the book was good! If you're looking for a laugh-out-loud-in-the-middle-of-a-silent-room-and-have-everyone-turn-and-stare-at-you book, this one's for you. But of course, read the rest of the series first. The movie, Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging, just came out in the US on dvd, and I'm quite excited for it.
Also, the latest Bloody Jack book, Rapture of the Deep: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, Soldier, Sailor, Mermaid, Spy by L.A. Meyer came out a while ago, and it too was awesome. This is another one of my favorites, so if the piratical adventures of a teenage girl is more up your alley, I'd look into it.
Hm. Well, that's about it. I'll try to make my postings a bit more regular from this point forward(although after a 4 month hiatus, any posting is more regular).
