Curiousity Killed The Bookwork Limerick Challenge:
I sit here staring at my book
Knowing I should give the pages a look
Because it's bout of books week
But alas, sometimes I'm meek
And get distracted TV--THAT CROOK!

**This was my first experience with Levithan's works, and I can honestly say it will not be my last! Also, this is my first LGBT romance centered YA, and it is beautiful. =)

**I can already tell you this novel is going to be brilliant from the first 10 pages =D
**I am not going to lie, this is my first book in verse form, but I am really loving it. Ellen Hopkins has such a talent for this kind of writing, creating poems within poems. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!
Thursday, August 16th! (Happy Birthday Hubby!!) And Friday, August 17th!**I am not going to lie, this is my first book in verse form, but I am really loving it. Ellen Hopkins has such a talent for this kind of writing, creating poems within poems. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!
**Well, Thursday came and went, and I read exactly zero pages. I slept in a little, watched some Desperate Housewives before going to work at 1, got back home at 9:30, and sat down on my couch and watched some more.
Friday was Celebrate Hubby's birthday day, so we did a bunch of awesome stuff together, thus I did not have a free moment to read. Oh well, there is always the weekend!
Saturday, August 17th!
Pages 1-150 (150 pages)

My Not So Real Life Music Challenge!
Why?: I feel like the lyrics to this song capture Margo's character perfectly. And the essence of this song really captures the relationship between Margo and Quentin, especially by the end. So there we go. =)
