I'm not going to sugarcoat it because it's true, I am obsessed with books. When did books get so expensive?!?!?Īnyways I have a obsession with books. It's a habit that drives my parents crazy. I, for one, like to buy my books and add them to my colorful collection. I am sixteen years young and am an avid book-reader and lover. So maybe a proper introduction is in order. So welcome to my world, a world of magic, love, war, and choices. I thought it would be best to use it as a welcome. This is my first blog post on Among the Whisperings, the Champagne, and the Stars. I recommended it to my friend and she could not put it down and neither will you! Please try this book because it deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. A netherling guide and personal friend of Alyssa's. But the real Wonderland isn't quite as cute as little Alice made it out to be. Her real-life crush Jeb (who is totally hot *swoon*) somehow follows her down the rabbit hole ). The only way to break that curse is to right the wrongs of Alice in Wonderland. However there is a curse of madness that runs in her family. Anyways she is supposedly a descendent of Alice Lidell, the girl that Lewis Carrol based is story after. She's kind of funky and weird but I like that. But perfect as in a really cool girl who I would love to be like. Haha.) The main character is a girl named Alyssa who is hard not to like. And, I for one, am obsessed with Alice in Wonderland.

I know, I know "Don't judge a book by its cover". This book is one I picked up on one of my annual trips to Barnes and Nobles based solely on the cover. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter-tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.Īnd then one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.So all of you are probably like, What the hell is Splintered? Why is this being posted next to the wonderful Mortal Instruments series? Well I'll tell you why. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

On Sunday morning while church bells rang in the villages alongshore, the world and its mistress returned to Gatsby’s house and twinkled hilariously on his lawn.Īmericans, while occasionally willing to be serfs, have always been obstinate about being peasantry.
In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. "He's so dumb he doesn't know he's alive." "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you’ve had."
