Okay, for all you girls out there who love fantasy novels, the one featured on my...um...I guess it would be my right, huh?...anyway, the one with the cover showing is perhaps the best one of all. At least I think so. It's right up there with Ella Enchanted at least. There's a spunky short heroine who is full of flaws but at the same time you have to love her. If any of you would like to borrow it, feel free to ask me, as I bought it at Barnes and Nobles the other night. Oh, and speaking of buying books, we bought "Wicked" and I seriously about threw-up. That is a disgusting, immoral book! It could seriously be used as soft-porn. So there you go, don't read "Wicked" just be content to listen to the musical and imagine what's going on but read Crown Duel, cuz that one's cool. Anyhoo, this is Jillian's Super Sassy Book Review, signing off!
Alrighty, now to me. I just got back fromt he coolest family reunion. You know, I was really dreading it, as all my family usually does is play Pinochle. Now, no doubt about it, there was a ton of Pinochle going on, but we also managed to get my grandpa to play mow-master which had to be the funniest thing. Especially when you throw in my Uncle Jared and my cousin Zach. And of course, it wouldn't be a trip unless I got sunburned/tanned. I swear, I'm going to be able to tell my summer travels through tanlines! "This one is from the family reunion, and this is from Venice, and this one's from the matterhorn..." but what really t's me off is the fact that I put SPF 50 on my face and it was the only part of my body that burned! Who cares that I had been out in the sun for about 8 hours straight - while my face only was protected - and the rest of me only got tan, but my face looks like a tomato. Gr...stupid acne medication.
But I seriously have the cutest cousins ever. Maddie - who's three - kept on showing off how she could stick her face underwater at the pool. She would take this huge gulp of air, go under for two or three seconds, then re-emerge with this huge grin on her face. Seriously, she's a doll.
I love my family. It's weird, because I've never been close to them. Sure, they're my blood and everything, but when you don't see family members until your 7 years old and even then you only see them once or twice a year besides that, you don't get that attatched to them. I actually feel closer to some of my friends extended family than I do to my own sometime. But I'm super glad I was able to spend this time with them, even though only three of the six kids showed up.
Anyhoo, I'm tired and I'm trying to write this stupid story. Gol I hope we have a thunderstorm! I have to register tomorrow. Blah. Oh! But I went and checked out the BYU-I campus while we were in Rexburg, and when I go down to my grandparents farewell in September I'm going to go chat with the department heads if I can. I still don't know where I'm going yet, or what I'm studying. Oh well, I'll have a little time.
Toodles!!

I love my family so much, we grew up with them, so we're all really close. And when were you in Rexburg? Obviously recently since you saw Secret Garden, but wouldn't it be weird if we were there at the same time. Or like, a day apart? That would have been crazy. And he's mine!
HE'S SO MINE! We were there Wednesday through Friday, and then down in Lava Hot Springs from Friday to Sunday. HE'S MINE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH HIM AND YOUR'E NOT! SO HA!!!
didn't I warn you about wicked jill?
It's really reall really bad..
I was so dissapointed. Thats why I can't recommend the book to others.... I'm sorry you had to go through that. it's awful. Even if you skip the parts as soon as you get to them. There's so much to skip it's grotesque!
