Sarcasm: the body's natural defense against STUPID.
You reserve the right to be stupid and I reserve the right to think so. And to blog about it...

The Bookworm Shrivles...

So I'm a bookworm.  Hardcore.  Over this break (somewhere around 3 weeks) I finished a novel that I was halfway through...
And read 5 more.... :)
2 of which were read in a single day each.

Not that I'm bragging about my nerdiness... :)

SO anyway.
I read one today. And it was pretty fascinating! It's about this young girl who grows up seeing faeries and all the horrible things they do to each other and to other, unknowing humans.  Most humans can't see them... her and her grandmother can.  And fey are very dangerous.
So she avoids them and acts like she can't see them.
But the Summer King and the Winter Girl (paathetic name...)
start following her and she doesn't understand why but basically she fins out:
There's a creepy Winter Queen.  She's the mother of the Summer King.  She killed the original Summer King (the father of her son). She discovered she had a son and put a clamp on his powers until he finds a Summer Queen.  Only one problem: She's constantly working against him to make sure he doesn't find her. He's searched for over 900 years and each one he thinks might be his queen must go through The Test. She must raise the scepter of the Winter Queen. If she's the Summer Queen she will not be harmed.  If she's not... she's screwed and frozen to become the Winter Girl until the next mortal girl decides she loves Keenan (the summer king) enough to risk it.  If she refuses she becomes a Summer Girl. (Summed up quickly they're like the blonde ditzes we all get so irritated with. They live for fun and pleasure, no thoughts of their own, only serving Keenan.)  And if the girls refuse him all together, since being "chosen" turns them into a Summer Fey, to refuse him and ignore him and leave, means death. 
So Ash (the girl) is basically screwed :)
Her boyfriend isn't too thrilled either but he tries his best to help her...

All in all the storyline was definitely unique and intriguing.

But

BEWARE. I'M GOING TO SPOIL THE ENDING SO HOPEFULLY NONE OF YOU ARE GOING TO READ THE BOOK. (ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST OF Y'ALL ARE GUYS... I'D BE WORRIED... WRITING IN CAPS IS FUN:) )

She accepts her roll as Summer Queen, they kill the stupid creepy annoying Winter Queen and she's replaced with someone good.  The Winter Girl whom Keenan is still in love with. 

Keenan is adorable to Ash but nooo she's stuck on her stupid boyfriend (who's actually adorable but... Keenan is so much cooler!!!)

SO THEY END UP SEPARATE!! they're "friends" ruling an entire other world??? WHAT COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP.

I'm very very irritated at wasting an entire Sunday reading this amazing book to find out the ending is trash. TRASH.
So very anticlimactic and UNromantic :(

Sigh....
**NOTE TO SELF: Listen to Natalie when she says you'll probably hate the ending of a book.  She's usually very very right.**

Ugh.... :( :( :(

Well anyway.....
I've ranted. I've raged. I've whined. I'm good now :)

Tomorrow is gonner be so fun!!! Movie marathon ALLL day long with some of the bestest people on the stinkin' PLANET. :)
WOOT!

Oh and byy the way I accidentally died but then Caleb saved me with his magic so no need to worry :) Just so y'all know :)

Ta-ta kiddies :)
