Bonjour!
It's Wednesday, which is my day and this is my first blog! YAY! So since this is the first week and all, we're doing introductions.... As I'm sure you noticed. First off, I'm Magdelina -- you can call me Lina for short if you want. I'm 16 and from Chicago, yada yada yada. I'm a total nerd, but of course we all are, so I'll specify and say that I'm a book nerd! Or a music nerd.... Or a theatre nerd. Let me explain!
Being a book nerd: I think that the thing I love most about summer is that since there is no school, I have time to read whatever books I want. (Except for the fact that I have summer reading.... But I'm hoping I'll like those books as well.) I've just finished my junior year in high school, which proved to be just as difficult and stressful as everyone said it would be. I always had a million things to do, and so I very, very, very rarely had any time to read for fun. But now it's summer and I'm FREE! So here's my summer reading list:
~An Abundance of Katherins by John Green (I read this last week! I liked it a lot, but not as much as his other books.)
~Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson (Also read this last week. Also good and also not as good as her other books.)
~So Long and Thanks for all the Fish (I'm almost done with it -- very good.)
~Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle
~The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson
~Reread all the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling (I've decided I'm going to do this every other summer for the rest of forever.)
~To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (It's our school play next year and I've never read it!)
~Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (Another classic I've never read.)
~The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls (summer reading for AP Lang.)
~Some book by Bill Bryson whose title I forget. (Also summer reading for AP Lang.)
Okay, I have to admit that I'm going to have to cut this short. (Well, after I get to 500 words, that is.) The thing is that I lied earlier -- it's not Wednesday. It's Monday at the time of writing this, and I'm in upstate New York helping my grandma move from her house to an apartment. So what these means for me is that starting tomorrow (meaning Tuesday, not Thursday), the computer and internet won't work! Ugh, I really hope they set up the internet at her apartment soon; it's a little sad how much I depend on it. So I'm writing this early and my dear fellow bloggers are being kind enough to post it for me.
I was going to have two other paragraphs about how I'm a theatre nerd and a music nerd, but .... I don't have time to write them. Oh well! Not much to say there, anyway.
So I promise that normally my posts will be more interesting and not so much about me. Next week I'll have time to prepare and write a more made of awesome post, I promise! In the meantime, I hope you're all having a great summer!

ReplyDeleteI've read Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods," which I really enjoyed, so I'm thinking I'll like this one as well!
