Bright as a Star- Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli

It's been a while since I have been truly inspired, I don't mean like "inspired" but more so inspired. You know? Like inspired enough to convince myself to write a happy poem, or to wear that suit to school, or even try out for the talent show. Not giving a care in world what most people think. This is because I want to be a Star Girl. This book opened up compartments of my heart that I didn't know existed! It's a novel that takes place in mostly modern times and is realistic fiction as a new girl, a strange girl, a unique girl, arrives at a new school, a normal school, a boring school, and flip it right side up and upside down again. Bringing such confidence to the school the kids at first are shy and then come to adore her, then worship her. Until... well, something happens.

She is herself comfortably and loves herself endlessly, until she is questioned but she never looses sight herself. This is a Star Girl, a person who shines so bright and is so different that no one can understand them half the time and question them at the other times. And it's wonderful. 

It is a pretty short ready and always keeps you entranced by a wondrous prospect of a normal world, that I was confused how I was even liking it! No, loving it. Please do read, it was a good inspirational message to send with myself out to the world. And you too can be a Star Girl.

A New Journey, A New Year- Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (Post 1) (Best Sellers)

As this new year begins I will have more time to read and ever since I've started this blog there has been a book on my list that I had never gotten around to- Ready Player One. I'm sorry it took me so long, but now it's here and so am I as I take you through adventure with me, while trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible.

This is another dystonia I am to dive into, one of my favorite places to read about but have nightmares about being in them. This one takes place in 2044, only 28 years from now, where the earth and populated areas are a wreck and people escape to the Oasis, a virtual world of puzzles and promised pleasure. With a prize at the end that promises power and fortune to who that unlocks it. Though the journey is dangerous and hard, not just because of the puzzles, as groups of greedy people attempt to murder Wade Watts, a young boy living with his father in the ugly reality of their world, to get themselves closer to the end goal.

A world of both reality, the real and the virtual, or danger and puzzles and riddles. Constantly laced with pop culture references and rich era history, this book is begging to be devoured by my eyes and spit out onto my blog.

So, we begin together, once again, on another journey.

The author, Ernest Cline, is a total geek, to which his writing proves. Constantly moving around in occupations landing himself as an author for this geeky book that matches his personality. He also wrote the 2009 film "fanboys" kick starting his creative juices to bring us his first novel, Ready Player One. Including a crazy tornado attack at a young age he has always lived in a crazy Sci-Fi world of his own imagination. Witty, humorous, vintage and honest, with this authors insane background and warm personality I can only expect this book to be a high success.
