I love reading books..... sometimes I find myself reading from late at night to very early in the morning. I think reading is a great way to expand your mind :)
I love ALL of the books I have read from Dessen- still a couple to go- but I love them all. All of her books make it into my favorite book catagories. If you asked me to pick a favorite- I would choose the first that comes to my mind only because I can't choose; this basically means it might be different each time someone asks....
Sabbs is my bestest Buddy and it is sooooo hard making this since she moved away from me... but we prevail! now we read books and discuss them online- which is the idea for this site!! :)

Something in common...
February 20, 2009Now I am reading Just Listen (again) and I have realized a common phrase throughout Dessen's novels:
"Come on".
It seems this is said in every book- I have realized that this simple phrase marks a signifigant change
in the main character's life; Sophie and Owen say it in Just Listen- each marking a huge change in
Annabel's life- good or bad. Then also in Dreamland said by Rodgerson- marking the life altering changes
in Catlin's life. Another is in That Summer- when Sumner says it to Haven, which leads to her thoughts
about that summer, leading to her revelation. Also said in Keeping the Moon which is said by both Isabel
and Norman- Norman's marking the start of her summer in Colby which changes her life; Isabel's marks
Colie's change in self esteem and her life also. In Lock and Key I believe both Jamie and Nate say it- also
her sister I believe. I have to read The Truth About Forever again and then I will read This Lullaby and
Someone Like You. I will keep looking for the similarities other than the appearence of characters strung
together in the novels.
I have to keep reading the story- so much escapes me from two years ago!
Until Later~
