another book review

The last book review I did was on Something Borrowed and now I just finished the sequel called Something Blue. I really enjoyed both books because they used the same characters so I could follow them from one book to the next. So here is my review of Something Blue.


In the book, Something Blue it tells the story from Darcy's side. Darcy and Rachel were best friends, and in the first book it was all Rachel's point of view. Something Blue, starts off with Darcy's account  of what happened between her, Rachel and Dex. Darcy is very excited about her new life and all the ways it is about to change, except things have not quiet felt real for her. She and Marcus have fought a lot more than usual and things just don't seem right to her. After she takes Marcus to meet her parents things just go from bad to worse. Marcus does not seem to try to impress her parents but instead just looks miserable to being there. While home, Darcy learns her litter brother is engaged to be married, and feels that everyone seems to be moving on from her and her problems, to planning her brothers wedding. For Darcy this seems just awful and then there is her big secret.... When Darcy's mother finds out her secret she flips out and then Darcy and Marcus pack everything up in the middle of the night and leave. This is a big turning point in her life and she refuses to speak to her parents, Rachel, Dex and the list keeps getting longer.

So, after things fizzle with Marcus, Darcy decides that she needs a change. She begins to see how shallow her New York friends are and calls her friend, Annilease, who suggests that she moves somewhere. She first suggests moving back home to Indianapolis with her family where Annilease still lives... But, Darcy does not like that idea since she is no longer talking to her family. So, then she suggests she go to visit Ethan, another childhood friend who lives in London. So, Darcy decides to go "visit" Ethan in London. Darcy whose life has always been perfect and has always gotten everything she wants has been in for a big surprise in life. I highly recommend this book, especially if you have read the first book. I really enjoyed hearing where the characters go and end up. So, if you want to read a real girly book this is the one to pick, I hope you enjoy. It is also a fast read as was the first one.

spring break

A busy time around here. We have entered spring break '11 and I am trying to be productive. So far I have had lunch with two friends, picked up a dress and took it to be altered to wear to the Opera. B and I are going to the Opera next week. Also, Saturday we are going to yet another wedding. More on that later as well. So, stay tuned to some fun things on the horizon.

book review

I downloaded a few new books on my iPhone, yes I know the screen is small. However, I love the idea of having them with me at all times and can have several with me. I enjoy being able to have them to read during down time or whenever. So, the last one I read was Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin.

 I really enjoyed this book. I feel it was a quick read and am looking forward to reading some more of her books. Something Borrowed, takes place in New York City. This book follows a group of friends, Darcy and Rachel have been best friends since childhood. They both first met in 1976 at the country bi-centennial when they both moved on the same block in the mid-west. Both girls grow up with their lives intertwined. Rachel's best friend Darcy has recently gotten engaged and is planning a September wedding to Dexter. Dexter and Rachel were friends in law school and Rachel introduced Dexter and Darcy.This book tells about the summer Rachel turned 30, and how it changed her life forever.  This book has a lot of interesting plot turns and makes the reader want to not put this one down. I highly recommend this book. This is defiantly a chick book. I am looking forward to seeing the movie based on the book that comes out sometime this year.

job interview

This morning, I went to a job interview at a local Catholic school. It was a good experience. I started out by touring the school and then had the interview. In the interview the principal told me that he had a lot of apps for second grade and not many for the middle school literature position. I am not certified for middle school, but am for elementary and all level special education. I am thinking about what I was told about the different positions, and will email the principal tomorrow. So, I just need to be thinking about which one I want to go for. Knowing that I might have a better chance with the middle school position, I just need to think about it. So, wish me luck.

job interview

Tomorrow, I have a job interview in the AM, keep your fingers crossed. Will update more on that later.
