Summer Reading List...

This sun is beating down on me and a light breeze cools the air, the pool sparkles a few feet away from me as I tan on lawn chair. I will have a bundle of a few possessions next to me, sunglasses, a drink, iPod, tanning lotion, and a good book to pass my relaxing summer hours. Two books that would be on my long summer reading list would be Shadowland by Alyson Noel and the other is Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. The first one is the third in the series, Immortals, at first I thought it was just another stupid fantasy book that I would ignore, but we all know I cant turn down a love story. Ever Bloom is a sixteen year old girl who can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know some one's entire life story by just touching them. This drives her crazy and the only one who can silence the noise is Damen because hes "immortal". As you read you find out that Damens been alive for a very very long time and that they are soul mates but that Ever keeps getting killed before Damen can save her. Now he finally made her immortal and now they can live forever together. In the second book alot happens but it ends the only way Ever can save Damen is if she does this spell that saves him but means if they ever exchange DNA Damen would die. So now in Shadowland I will find out if they can figure it out.

The second book was just another book by the author Sarah Dessen, and I love her books!
I read Dreamland by her and it was a sad, touching book that is now one of my favorites so I thought I would try another novel by her. Along for the ride is about a teenage girl who spends the summer with her dad at his house on the beach after the divorce. Its just a story about how she gets a summer job and makes a friend and together they confide in each other and work through their problems side by side.

My dreams range from realistic to crazy! Half the time I don't remember them and the others I don't think about past telling a friend. But when I was a little younger I kept on having these dreams where a bad guy would break into my house and try to kidnap and in the process kill my mom. I would have this dream over and over and it really started to freak me out. I'm alone for two to three hours after school until my comes home from work, so i started feel scared. I told my mom about my dreams and that I didn't feel safe alone at home. She listened and was sensitive to my feelings and put a second lock on our front door. This made me feel more secure and my "break in" dreams became less and less until eventually they were gone. If I had to choose I would pick Romeo to compare my feelings about dreams. I dint think that all of my dreams mean something but i definitely have had a few that got me thinking. Romeo had a dream early on that if he went to the Capulet's party that bad things would happen and result in his death. In act three just that happens. Tybalt kills Mercutio and then Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge which leads to Romeo being banished and this causes his death.
