Book of 1000 days

I just finished this book. Wow! I love to read books where I am entertained, and then when I look at it closely, I can tell it's written well. Shannon Hale has a great talent for stringing words together in a beautiful way. It's her first YA book that I have read. I read Austenland a few months ago and enjoyed it too. She has a great sense of humor, and it comes out in her characters and their dialogues. I will definitely be reading more of her books. I was looking at her website yesterday. Very fun. She has some great suggestions for writers and readers. http://www.squeetus.com/

It's over

Tonight I finished the last of my classes. I had one 20 page paper due tonight that I emailed my teacher. Friday was my last class. I graduate Thursday. I cannot believe I am finally done. It's strange to think about being done with my English degree. Strange and surreal. I have a lot to do to get ready to take the GRE and prepare for the Lit subject test, but at least my classes are finished for now. School won't start for a couple of months. It will be a nice break.
