Book Review - Scorch Trails

Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale. Thomas and his friends must once more band together to try and overcome all the trials an...

The Secret

2011: The Year of Awesome!

So, 2011 is a bit new, but so far it's been the year of awesome! 

I haven't blogged in a bit, but that's cause my normal routine got all thrown out of whack the middle of last month.  I had some personal stuff go down, and it didn't seem to be fun but things turned out great!  Through a little bit of pain I realized that I have awesome friends, and I realized that people I didn't know cared about me really did.

Also, earlier this week, I found out that I was 1.5 lbs away from my weight loss goal.  I hate to admit this in many ways, but it's hard to deny what I used to look like...but that means that a few days ago I had gotten to the point where I'd lost 150 lbs.  The day after Christmas I hit my jean size goal.  Now I am at a place I never thought I'd ever be.  I am healthy, beautiful, and happy with my body.  I mean not perfectly happy, but happier.

Since I never did a "year in review" thing, I am kind of doing that now.  2010 was great.  It was hard, it was crappy, but it was great.  I learned I can do it on my own, and I learned that I don't have to.  I learned that I have real friends, and awesome family.  I reconnected with people.  I loved, I lost, and I realized that I will survive, and can even look forward to what comes next. 

So far this year I've gotten a new piercing, I'll be getting a new tattoo, I've worked on moving on some more, and I have tickets to a concert!  Frick yeah Interpool!  This is only three weeks in?  Yeah, I can't wait to see what the rest of 2011 brings.  I'm ready!

Cinder

Cinder is a YA futuristic sci-fi fantasy retelling of Cinderella, and the first book in The Lunar Chronicles , by Marissa Meyer. Being a cyborg is almost as shameful as being an android – despite the fact that Cinder knows she is human, there are many in New Beijing who would argue that fact. So, as she spends her days utilizing her gifts as a mechanic to provide income for her derisive adoptive mother and sisters, Cinder doesn’t advertise her cyborg parts. Not good for business. Yet, she’s never felt the weight of being a cyborg as strongly as when her path crosses with Prince Kai – an admittedly attractive and charming young man. Not to mention royal. Soon, Cinder is pulled deeper into the most concerning struggles of Earth – a ravaging, deadly plague that they’ve been trying to find a cure for without success in twenty-five years and a possibility of war hinging on nothing more than the whims of a mad queen from the country Lunar, on the moon. There are secrets to Cinder’s past th...

Becoming a SoleMate

So, I signed up to be a SoleMate for Girls on the Run.  I'm helping the organization raise money to better be able to serve young women as they work on their fitness and life skills.  I'm terrified.  I had to set a goal race to train for, and I picked a race I've done before.  My normal self would be fine with this race, there wouldn't be any issue.  But I'm not normal right now, right now I'm sick.  I have a mass in my pelvis and I am waiting to get surgery.  I hope, once the surgery is done, the pain I am in constantly will be gone and I can train again.  But, what if it isn't?  What if something goes wrong?  What if I'm really sick.  All of that makes me worry.  I hope I'll actually be able to fulfill my goal by finishing the race, but I don't know if I'll be able to.
