First, look at this thing. I found it yesterday and it's impossible not to laugh.
Second, here's some advice: when you're hungry, make sure you look up pictures of food. And make sure it's all dessert stuff, like red velvet fudge and rainbow ice-cream and Oreo cheesecake. If there are other hungry people around you, show it to them too and watch them fake-cry.
Third, books! I've been slow in finishing any of what I'm reading, but that doesn't make the books any less awesome. So...
Why people should read Erebos: It's a creepy book, and creepy books are fun. I'm not very far in because I've been busy, but it's awesome so far, of course. Plus it alternates between past and present tense, which is cool.
Why people should read Princess of the Silver Woods: FAIRY TALES. THE KING UNDER STONE. PETUNIA. OLIVER. JESSICA DAY GEORGE. There are nightmares and backstories and a bunch of things like that, plus old characters, as always. But read Princess of the Midnight Ball and Princess of Glass first!
Why people should read The Winner's Curse: It's epic. Politics interfere with what the characters really want and they keep secrets from each other and it's written really well. But read The Winner's Curse first!
Why people should read Graceful: AMANDA. LEO. TARA. DAVID. RORY. JAKE. GRACE. CONNOR. RAY. PICTURES. LAST WILLOW FALLS BOOK. WENDY MASS. If that's not convincing enough to get it immediately, you get to see into almost each character's head and their personal struggles come up a lot and though I still don't know what the big change coming to Willow Falls is, I know it'll be really big. Hopefully in a good way...
Thus, another useless post by me has been completed. YAY!

Books, Festivities, and Stuff
The secret code said: "Go be a cyborg. Or write about cyborgs. Or read about cyborgs. Or do all three!" Now go do what it says. :P
Everyone should be/read about/write about cyborgs, and everyone should also read The Ever Afters by Shelby Bach. 'Cause that series is awesome. And so are cyborgs.
Obviously, I've been reading a lot. Of Giants and Ice, Of Witches and Wind, and Of Sorcery and Snow are the three published books of the Ever Afters series that I've read (the fourth book comes out this summer). Also, I'm currently reading Princess of the Midnight Ball and rereading Every Soul a Star. So yeah. They're all really, really good books. GO READ THEM.
EPIC FIRST NOVEL SENTENCES OF THE DAY/WEEK/MONTH/WHATEVER:
MAGICAL WORD OF THE DAY/WEEK/MONTH/WHATEVER:
Celerity! It means swiftness. And it's a pretty word. :D
WARNING: YOU SHOULD NOT GO HEADFIRST DOWN AN INFLATABLE SLIDE. You shouldn't eat cupcake crumbs that fall on a fake throne that other people sat in before you, either. Or sit at the top of an inflatable slide and not look back to see that someone's about to push you down. Or sit in a war zone just to make wind dramatically blow your hair back. But you should squash fake frogs, even if you have to sit on them. Fake-frog-squashing is fun.
Basically, there was a party yesterday. With red velvet cupcakes!
That's all.

- "Because he had once been human, the King Under Stone sometimes found himself plagued by human emotions." (Prologue, Princess of the Midnight Ball, Jessica Day George)
- "In my first trip to Yellowstone National Park, I threw a rock at a dragon." (Chapter One, Of Giants and Ice, Shelby Bach)
- "The screw through Cinder’s ankle had rusted, the engraved cross marks worn to a mangled circle." (Chapter One, Cinder, Marissa Meyer)

When School is Murdered for a Week
Google put up a rather creepy turkey up for Thanksgiving.
Anyway. Here's a summary of my week.
We finally watched The Croods, which was pretty good. It had really awesome characters. I think the ending could have been better, though. It was too happy. And predictable. Spoilers: someone tries to escape, is too late, should be dead, and then survives anyway. They could have had a perfectly good ending after the family was painted on the wall, but nope.
We also watched Mockingjay part 1. The beginning was a bit rushed, and I barely followed what was happening since it's been a while since I read the books. It was pretty boring until they got to the part where (this is a spoiler) Katniss agreed to be the Mockingjay. It was actually exciting after that, and the ending was great. I won't spoil it too much, but it was kind of sad and now I can't wait for the second part to come out. Except I'm waiting right now, so I guess I can wait. *waits*
I also had Dippin' Dots this week. And went on a roller coaster, among other rides. I now have a green...giraffe thing that was earned through a *deadly war. I wasn't the one who won that game. Oh, and we now have a new caricature, too.
Other stuff that happened includes that we went to other people's houses and had fun. At one of those houses, we spent Thanksgiving. There was a turkey named Bob. I ate red velvet cupcakes, pistachios, and Bob.
If I didn't mention it, there was also a lot of sitting in cars. A lot. As in, it took an hour to get anywhere and an hour to get back. Except for the ride to the state we were in and back; that took the whole day. The one time that it would have only taken two minutes to go where we wanted was when no cars were available and we had to walk 1.8 miles.
Oh! And I also finished a book. It was The Wide-Awake Princess. The book was awesome and I want to read the whole series now. :D
*This is an obvious exaggeration. We had to spray a target to make the giraffe things go higher. Still, maybe it really was deadly and I just happened to choose the spray thing that wouldn't electrecute me when I lost! Yay!
