habits and stuff

So....i watch T.V and go on facebook a lot. Reading the book "Two-Way Street" by Lauren Barnholdt definitely took me away from those "habits". I started reading it on a Thursday morning, and by Friday night, i was done with the 288 page book. This book was not as serious as the last book I read, "Sarah's Key". It was about a 17-year-old girl named Courtney and her ex-boyfriend Jordan. The two of them embark on a road trip to the college they are both attending in the fall. The thing is, they planned this road trip while they were dating, so after they break up, the trip is still on, and now it's all awkward and weird. But the book is really addicting because it takes you back to when the two love birds first talked to each other and hung out, and the narrator switches off between Jordan and Courtney. It's also very accurate to the way that high school boys and girls think. I zoomed through this book. Whenever I wasn't doing anything important, I was intensely reading. I think I even skipped eating supper Friday night because i was so determined to see how it would end! I loved everything about this book and liked reading it more than going on facebook or watching T.V. Total reading time=14.5 hours
