Reading: Wake
by The New York Times Bestseller,
Lisa McMann, was this week’s read. The line YOUR DREAMS ARE NOT YOUR OWN stared
at me on the cover and I had to know what this story was about, however, it was
nothing that I had expected. Innocent seventeen-year-old Janie gets sucked into
other people’s dreams as she has been cursed with the ability she doesn’t’ want
and can’t control. Somehow she gets involved with a boy named Cabel and she
continues to visit dreams that are nothing like the dreams I’ve ever
experienced. This book seemed to be full of suspense and horror until the word love interjected the plot. Janie has
nightmares and becomes witness to someone else’s twisted psyche on a nightly
basis. “NOT ALL DREAMS ARE SWEET”
basically sums up this book, it’s not the most interesting book but it gets the
job done in a diary type format, similar to a book I read earlier this quarter.
And Wake is also part of a trilogy, but I honestly don’t think it has a
substantial story line that will bring this idea full circle.
Watching:
Suddenly I’ve become extremely interested in the TLC Program, Long Island
Medium. Teresa Caputo, the medium, has extremely blonde hair, a thick New York
accent, and the ability to connect with spirits who have crossed over to the
other side. After watching Sunday night’s episode, I am completely sold that
the souls of departed loved ones are still present with us in the physical
world. If you’re a skeptic, check out her work here: http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/long-island-medium/videos/spinetingling-video.htm
Eating: On
Sunday, my family finally took a trip to the new frozen yogurt shop in town,
named Menchie’s where Blockbuster used to be. It is similar to Yo Yo’s and
Spoonz, except Menchie’s has hot fudge, peanut butter, and caramel. I love
sampling every flavor they have multiple times before deciding to fill my bowl
with the original twist of chocolate and vanilla!
