Update

Hi!

Just to clarify this is a UPDATE not a POST!

The reason why I'm posting this is because I want to improve my blog. I received advice from an experienced blogger who said that I didn't really have a topic or focus for my blog.

This is true, I didn't but I'm going to change that, I have decided to dedicated this blog to books, instead of everything floating around in my head.

The topic of books might extend to talking about movies based on books that are coming out, much like I did in the last post, or just about books themselves.

I think I will be mainly talking about young adult books, probably in the Fantasy Genre (Though I'm sure I'll end up doing books of all sorts of genres! ;) This was a pretty sudden change for me and I'm not prepared for it yet.

The first few post after this, will most likely be some of my favorite books, so people can see what type of books I enjoy and what to expect from this.

If anyone has an idea (Not likely, since I have, like, one comment) on how to improve this just let me know!

February 15th

Hello, hello!
Yes, I know I post just a few hours ago. However, that post was for the 14th of February whereas this one is for the 15th A.K.A today.

And I can't still can't get over the Adam / Taylor Valentine's Day surprise. ( I you don't like to read about Taylor Swift skip to the *s)

***

This, I hope, will be my last blog dedicated to the subject. Though, I highly doubt it! Taylor still hasn't respond, at least not anywhere I've seen to his love song. Anyway she responds to it will be newsworthy. I hope, for Taylor and Adam's sake, that she is awed by this song and she finally finds her prince charming.

Though, I blogged about this earlier, I didn't see the note Adam wrote on his blog. It's sweet and he talks about how he came up with the idea.

After doing even more research I found out about some more boys writing songs with Taylor in mind. The Jonas Brothers, a pop disney trio, wrote a song about how Joe's girlfriend Camilla Belle was, as the title states, "Much Better."

Though this is old gossip, Taylor's song "Forever & Always" was supposedly based off of Joe's breakup with Taylor. However now, Taylor has released a new album with a song called "Better than Revenge."

'Better than Revenge" was apparently based on Camilla Belle, after hearing a about the Jonas Brother's song I think it was interesting to point out that Taylor's song contain that lyrics "'Cause you're so much better" just a random note. The overall point of this detour is to show that songs between musicians can be sweet (Adam's Valentine to Taylor) or like having a mini war (Taylor and Joe), let's hope this one ends better!

Moving away now from the Taylor gossip, I wanted to mention some news on The Mortal Instruments movie!

This will be based off of Cassandra Clare's super popular book series, The Mortal Instruments.
Below is the description from www.imdb.com

"When her mom is attacked and taken from their home in New York City by some creature, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl, Clary Fray, finds out truths about her past and bloodline on her quest to get her back, that changes her entire life."

Okay, so if you read my other post, you'd know I'm obsessed with these books! I am also pumped for the movie, there is no release date yet and my main interest now is the cast.

Clary, out main character, will be played by Lily Collins. You might recognize her from 'The blind side' or Nick's 'Kid's Choice Award", which she hosted in 2010.

The only other confirmed actor is Gaspard Ulliel, who will be playing Alec Lightwood. I personally think that he looks just as I picture Alec.

Darren Criss, best known for 'A Very Potter Musical' and 'Glee', is rumored to be playing Magnus, a sparkly warlock!

And the last cast announcement is Alex Pettyfer who is unconfirmed to play Jace Wayland. Now if Alex Pettyfer, known for Stormbreaker, was to play the sexy and sarcastic bad boy Jace, I think I might have a fangirl attack in the theater. ;D And I think many other people would too.

Today, I am still sick (Hopefully getting over it) and still obsessed with Twitter.

Valentine's Day, 2011

Okay, here's the deal. . . I did NOT write this on Valentine's Day. I could say that I did but just post it until now, but that would be a pointless lie. However, Valentine's day ended roughly around 9 hours ago for me, so I'm not THAT late! ;)

What did I do yesterday, on the day of love? I was sick.

I woke up at 7:35 AM by my cell phone buzzing with a text from my mom. As thoughtful and kind as that was my only thoughts were 'Ah, I feel awful. . . I need sleep!' and 'I have to be at school in 25 min!'

The first thought over powered the second and I fell back to sleep until 8:00 AM. This time it was my dad, who thought I had been awake since 7 AM, calling to tell me that 'Two of my favorite singers are in love' My highly intelligent respond went something along the lines of "What?"

Dad then proceeded to tell me about Adam Young ((Owl City)) and Taylor Swift. The story is really sweet and I'll explain it now. (If you've already read it and wish to read about my boring life instead of famous people, then skip to the *s)

***

'Enchanted', a song released on Taylor Swift's latest album was supposedly written about when she meet Adam Young in New York. In this song, Swift sings of a guy (Young) whom she meet and had fallen in love with, though she never told him. She mentions how she wonders if he knows and feels the same about her. In her album book, Taylor capitalized A-D-A-M.

Taylor says that her songs are supposed to be open letters for the peoples she bases it off. I don't recall seeing anything about her ADMITTING she wrote it fro Adam Young, but it he thinks so, he would know better than me.

Young replied with his version of the song. He changed lyrics a bit to mention Taylor's name and say things like "I was enchanted to meet you too."

Though this is cute, it's the last line that really made me go 'Aweeee!'
The lyrics are "You were all of my dreams come true and I just wish you knew, Taylor I was so in love with you"

Young also included sweet letter to Taylor about their meeting.

Now, I'm a girl who is a huge fan of the fluffy lovey-dovey still, but it still made me swoon. I can only imagine how Taylor, a completely girly girl with a love for love and romantic gestures, will react.

However, Swift seems to be one of the only people who hasn't commented on this yet, at least nothing I heard.

Other than freaking out over Adam and Taylor, I did find a new obsession. . . TWITTER!

I made my twitter account back in 2009 and posted on it maybe nine times. However, yesterday I, for some reason, stumbled back upon it. And I loved it.

I don't see why I'm so obsessed with Twitter, I mean, I'm not famous and I only have one subscriber, but somehow posting messages and pretending people are reading them is pretty fun (Much like this blog!)

I think the reason I might have re-joined twitter is to follow Cassandra Clare. She is the author of my latest book obsession, The Mortal Instruments.

{Maybe a month ago, I emailed her and suggested she should use the word 'spiffy' in her next book. (I think it was like 2 AM at the time, and we all know nothing good happens at 2 AM)
What surprised me the most is that CASSANDRA CLARE REPLIED TO MY EMAIL! I was shocked. Cassandra Clare, a famous author had email me, a little nobody back. }

It turns out, Cassandra Clare is always on twitter and tweets with her fans. Two of my tweets mentioning her were re tweeted by her.

I also found many other fun people to follow (mainly other authors) which was strange considering that at this time I was working on my own book.

Good things did come out of twitter, for example, I learn of the chapter hunt for the first chapter of Cassandra Clare's next book, City of Fallen Angels.

So? The Basic Summary:

- I was sick and had no life on Valentine's Day

- Adam Young and Taylor Swift are adorable

- I have an unhealthy addiction to twitter

- I also have an unhealthy addiction to Cassandra Clare and her books

- I have no life and am writing a blog for myself to read.
