i'm back

Wow, what a crazy week! Waking up early and going to bed late have taken their tool on me. But I had a very fun time and meet a lot of new people. BUT. Yes, there is but. I have another tournament in April, 16 days away. And I am going to be planning for it. So please all forgive me if I happen to not post in awhile. I will make the effort to be on and post, but I'll have to see how that goes.

Savvy by Ingrid Law

Update: Hello, my blog followers. I'm quiet sure I am having a fun time but am very tired, and I can't wait to be home tomorrow.

I realized that I had only reviewed three books. *gasp* Being a huge reader I think I need to being doing these reviews more often.

Today I bring you the book review of Savvy, a sweet book about a family who have unique...savvys. ☺

About the book:
In the Beaumont's house thirteen is a very special year. Thirteen is the year that Beaumont children find there savvy. With a brother who can create a hurricane. And another that can summon electricity, Mib's is eager for her thirteenth birthday.

But just before the big day, Mib's father gets in to a car accident. Convinced she can help him, along with her brother and the preachers kids, she sneaks onto a bus that is supposed to be going to the hospital. This book is full of talking tattoo's, pink bibles and really cool savvys.

My thoughts:
I thought that the plot was very unique. You always hear of super heroes with super powers. But a savvy isn't a super power, it's something that make all of the Beaumont's unique. I thought the characters were fun and in depth. I really liked the main character, which is important in a story, and it has a sweet ending.

Recommended for ages: 10+
Bad stuff?: None.
Romance: Two kisses.
Recommendation: I would give this a five out of five. I would definitely recommend this book.

Any questions, thoughts, or comments. I would love to hear and answer them.

a bundle of quotes

I've decided to copy a friend of mine and do a post on some of my favorite quotes.

If any of you know me, I am very into quotes. Any chance I get I am looking up new ones to write done in a notebook. I really don't think I can explain enough how much I love quotes. They are like little bits of wisdom or humor for all to hear.

Henry Ward Beecher - "A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors."

Oscar Wilde - "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

Isaac Asimov - "I write for the same reason I breathe, because if I didn't I would die."

Anonymous - "Finishing a good book is like leaving a good friend."

Audrey Hepburn - "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone."

Ralph Waldo Emerson - "A hero is no braver then an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer."

C.S.Lewis - "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'"

Ziggy - "You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

Anonymous - "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's learning to dance in the rain.

What are some of your favorite quotes? I would LOVE to hear them. ☺
