We're reading Romeo and Juliet in school right now, and acting it out as we go along. i love the story, and playing Tybalt is just the greatest! I died today, though. :T It's really fun walking around the halls looking all "killed". We used fake blood. -w-

That sounds really fun. We do stuff like that next year. Can't wait!

Finally got some pictures of my bookshelves!
I have two bookshelves. I couldn't upload a picture of my first one, but here's my second one!

(I apologize for the blurriness, I'm awful at taking pictures xD)

Nice! It's not overflowing, like my old one. ;P

I love taylor swift's songs too! Anyone know of any good books? I have NOTHING to read (that's halfway decent!)

Well, this may sound like an advertisement (although I certainly don't want it to!), but you could check out my book blog and read some of my reviews. You might find a book that stands out to you as a good read.
(By the way, the link to the blog that's in my signature is the link to my new book blog site and it has only a few reviews. My older book blog site has way more reviews, and can be found here.)

@Dexter
I looked at your blog(s). I really liked them! I love your writing style in your reviews. How often do you update it?

Thank you! You have no idea how wonderful that is to hear.
I don't update the old one at all; it's retired now. But the new one is updated as soon as a new book is read, and I should be done another one in a couple of days. (It's called The Mark of Athena.) There's a new feature on the blog that allows people to be notified on new posts by e-mail, but just checking back every week or so should keep you up to speed.

At my school, we each had to memorize a character's last line from Shakespeare. I had Macbeth's: "Lay on, Macduff! And darned be he that first cries, 'Hold enough!'" It was very fun to shout that in Literature class. On the class agenda board, it said "Dying", which is more than a little strange.

I went to the library a few days ago and got a huge collection of Ray Bradbury stories. He has a marvelous writing style and I am devouring the book (metaphorically speaking, of course!). Ray Bradbury and George Orwell are two of my favourite writers. Animal Farm, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451 are some of my all time favourite books (I actually have a pet group called "Animal Farm"). One of my favourite genres for books is Science Fiction (esp. 1984, Planet of the Apes, and Fahrenheit 451). I prefer the classic scifi books to the modern ones, though. I like the classics more in general, usually, too. Anyone else agree?

@Hippolyta
I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 right now! I started it yesterday or the day before. It's really good c: But it's also really depressing...all those books being burned!
The society they live in is really messed up and creepy

[Lady Ligeia]

@Electra Heart
Yeah, it's a VERY messed up society (it's not as creepy as 1984, though. In that book, the government just edits any word they don't like such as "democracy" or "freedom" out of the language. They do a bunch of other stuff, too, but that's the creepiest.) Ray Bradbury always seemed to write about potential issues in the future and the worst of everyday people. It's sorta sad, but very good. How far are you into it?

@Hippolyta
I have about 40 pages left. I've been meaning to read 1984, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

We're reading Animal Farm and The Great Gatsby in school soon...has anyone read them/what did they think?
