![]() I am awesome. Don't even try to argue that I am amazing. :P what can I say? I don't even know. I'm determined to write a pretty long list of absolutely nothing. good gods. well let's see. I love books. definitely. I love to draw and I can play the piano, but the music business isn't really my forte. Something else I really enjoy is learning new, large words and using them while talking with my friends. it's hilarious to watch them try to figure out what I said and I sound really smart too! Here are somethings that I really enjoy: books: (Descriptions of [first] books below. Taken from Goodreads) -Harry Potter series. J.K. Rowling: I first finished the Harry Potter series a long, long time ago and I still reread them like crazy. They are so amazing and enticing, and I'm not ashamed to say that I am forever a Potterhead. -Percy Jackson (both series). Rick Riordan: This series is so addicting. I don't even know what to say about it. I can't wait for Bloods of Olympus. The only bad thing I can say is that I don't enjoy the characters Rick killed off. Same goes for Harry Potter. :'(. I hope Rick doesn't kill anymore of the good characters. -Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer: Great character and plot. Man this kid is cool. -The Young Sherlock Holmes series. Andrew Lane: I started reading this and it's so amazing. It really does feel like how Sherlock Holmes would've been like when he was a kid; and it's a great book. -The Tapestry series. Henry H. Neff: Good god. I LOVE this series. Amazing! -The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown: This was confusing and the ending wasn't as strong as I though it would be...but it was still a good book. -The Agency series. Y. S. Lee: I really like this series. It's fantastic. One of the only book series I've read with a strong main female character. -The Grave Robber's Apprentice. Allan Stratton: Really cute book. -The Seven Wonders series. Peter Lerangis: I've only read the first one and it was okay. I like how they developed the characters, but the main character Jack could be a bit better. -Anything Roald Dahl. Gods I love him. Amazing writer, amazing person. -Dr. Seuss. So much fun! I will always love Dr. Seuss books no matter what age I am. -The Blackwell Pages (series). K. L. Armstrong: Like the Seven Wonders series, I've only read the first one, but I loved it. Matt is a great character, flawed but heroic. Laurie is alright, but I love Fen. So much like Nico from Percy Jackson. -The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Stephen Chbosky: Good gods was this a great book. Beware, the content may not be for all ages. For those mature enough though, it is amazing. -Room. Emma Donoghue: This is such a sad and bittersweet story. I really liked the first half, but the second wasn't the best. The mom, though...I'm not a fan. Jack is cute though. -etc. Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick.
