My first book blog: Invitation Only by Kate Brian!

So I finished this book last night after starting it a very long time ago. I started it when I first moved into my dorm back in August. Now it's November! Eek! Okay, now is where I make the lame excuse of how I have been so busy that I haven't been able to read. Someone kill me now! I'm sorry I haven't read as much as I would like too.
This book is the 2nd book in the Private series. What is even worse is how long ago I took to continue this series. I read the first one back in July 2008! So when I started it again, things were a little fuzzy but when I got back into the book I remember them.
Here is the summary on the back of the book:
Reed Brennan's future is looking as bright as the two-karat diamonds in her new housemates' ears. Being accepted to the most prestigious private boarding school in the country wasn't enough for Reed. She had to break every rule to do it, but she has accomplished the impossible:Reed is a Billings Girl now. And with her new status come respect, envy, and, most important, opportunity. Not to mention the parties. Unfortunately, at the next illicit party in the Easton campus woods, her roommate snaps some pictures of Reed in more than one compromising position. She uses the photos to blackmail Reed: Dig up dirt on the most powerful and popular Billings Girls or she will have Reed expelled.And speaking of parties, the Legacy is coming up. It's the invitation-only Halloween party in NYC and it's rumored that Thomas -- Reed's MIA boyfriend -- will be making an appearance there. Too bad Reed isn't even close to invited.Life as a Billings Girl is every bit as glamorous as Reed imagined. What she didn't bargain for is the tangled web of private lies these girls weave.

Okay now for the ***SPOILER ALERT!!***

This book was pretty decent. I had no idea that the Billings Girls were going to do that to Reed. What they did, that is the part I will not spoil. :)
But in other terms, the guy she goes out to with to try to get a ticket to the Legacy, Walt Whittaker. They all called him Whit. I felt so bad for him because he really liked Reed but she didn't like him back. Though, I think Constance and Whit would be the perfect couple. <3
Let me just say OMG to the Legacy. I would love to go to a party like this. It basically is a masquerade with beautiful gowns and every guest receives a designer something that is white. I would love it! Going to a Masquerade is on my list of things to do, but I don't think I could make it to one this expensive. hehe
The ending was great and the last line of the book were perfect. Just before she is thinking she might be having some feelings for Josh, and she tells him that she can be happy without Thomas and she's better off without him. But then, they find Thomas' body. He is dead!! (I was kind of expecting that haha) But the last line says if she opens her mouth, she would scream and never be able to stop. It was great. I would probably do the same. She loved Thomas. Even though he made a girl think about how his feelings were, he was still good to her. Even though I love Thomas, I think I might be on team Josh. He seems better for Reed.
Earlier, she finds this note that Thomas gave her. I'm pretty sure I shed a tear at that part though I'm not sure since it has been so long since I read the beginning.
***END OF SPOILER***
Overall, the book was pretty good and is most defiantly making me want to read the rest of the books. They are on my list!
P.S. I ordered a book called Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay from my library to read over Thanksgiving break. The book looks good and the cover is even better. There will be a review on that one coming.

Pinterest!

Ok, as you guys know. I am obsessed with the website Pinterest. So, I've decided to share three pictures with each blog post. I figured I am going to sit here and try to get as many blog posts as I can out there. This first picture is so simple, it can be replicated. But it is so cute that I just had to show you guys. It has the simple nightstand, bed spread and a nice basket for some storage underneath. I think the flowers and the pictures of the flowers give it perfect touch. I am defiantly feeling this as a guest bed. I would love to stay at a friend's house and sleep in this room.

This next picture is something I would love to have in my house. For one, I love typewriters. Something I think is so old-fashioned but at the same time, it never goes out of style. I would love to write a book by just using a typewriter. Also, the fact that the typewriter is this really cute turquoise color. And the wallpaper is so chic. I have noticed that bird patterned stuff is becoming very popular. It's really in, whether it be in clothes, jewelry, or home decor.
This next picture is something anyone can do with a corner of their porch that they are not sure what to do with it. It can be made into a little swing. Sadly, there is no back to the swing but that doesn't make it enjoyable. I know if I or a friend had this problem with a corner, I would show them this picture and they can become inspired by it. A lovely scene in a book or simply your actual experience would be nice on this swing.
Along with things I am really into, I am currently obsessed with listening to old Disney music from those great movies. My personal favorite is "I Won't Say I'm in Love" from Hercules. I love this song and it is a great song to sing with girlfriends. So I made a playlist on YouTube where I listen to a bunch of music from Disney movies. I also made another playlist called I just want to be a kid again, where it has some great old music from A*teens, JoJo, Hilary Duff, and Jesse McCartney. And the classic Miracles Happen by Myra song from Princess Diaries.
That's all for now. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

We found love in Milanno Cookies and Pinterest!

Hey people!

I have come to update you on the things I am currently obsessed with.


1. We Found Love by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris. I don't know what it is about this song that just makes it so addicting. Probably the mix of a dancy tune but with the slow mo beautifully sung lyrics. It mixes two into one. It is so good. It's always on when I am on my computer. And the lyrics are really good. "We found love in a hopeless place" Love. And the music video, it's something to check out. It's good but at the same time it is so weird. It's a good mix of bad and good.
2. Ok this deals with something I am currently obsessed with. Yesterday, I took a much needed run to Target for a few things: 1. Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Shampoo. 2. An eyelash curler because I do not have one here at my dorm. and 3. the thing I am obsessed with. Milanno cookies. These things are so good and I got the double chocolate one. I have to restrain myself from eating the whole box. My grandma used to always have this in her drawer when we went to visit her at her apartment. We would always get some, and they are just so good. And I got a coupon for 55 cents off my next bag of them. I'll take it!


3. Pinterest.com This is coolest thing since sliced bread. It's a website where people put pictures up of all kinds of things. Some funny, some cute, some just in general awesome. I have saved so many pictures. And once you have clicked on the picture, it brings you to the website it is from. Some are cool tutorials and websites for recipes. I have found some great ideas from this website. Here, I am going to show a couple picture that I have already saved to my computer.


To the left is a picture that I think is so cool. The books are organized by the color of their spine. I kind of want to go home and organize my bookshelf like this. And I don't think I even have this many books which makes me so jealous. Though, I would change it to have in order of the rainbow, so I would have the reds on the first shelf.


Ok, let us look at the picture on the right. How cute is that?? It's basically every girl's dream! And I'm pretty sure it's raining, which makes it even better. :)


I found the picture on the right and just thought how cute! This would be perfect for my log cabin that I wanted to go to in my last post. The fireplace on the left is just so sweet and I would love to sit in front of that right now. It's got that real antique feel. Plus the dog is so cute and my dog would get a kick out of laying there.
So those are the things I am currently obsessed with at the moment. I will keep you guys posted and I plan on showing more pictures I found from pinterest.com
