And no, I don't actually live in an IglooSarah (Book Reviews from Inside an Igloo)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03918877915737712201noreply@blogger.comBlogger136125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853200768620908756.post-71680036286102023882012-10-01T11:37:00.002-07:002012-10-01T11:37:40.651-07:00Whimsical Lands and BooksLately I would describe myself as a bit of a dreamer. I live in a day-to-day land where I "endure" life simply in the far off notion that one day I will be out of the fog that is being a sick person, AKA Sarah the Cancer patient. Life for me right now it wake up at noon, maybe eat something high in fat such as bacon, read a little bit, walk around, terrorize my dog, and then very late that night take some sleeping pills and try to shut my head off. Wake up, rinse and repeat.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite past times as of late is browsing the pinterest boards. I like to pretend I'm one of those people that can pull of head-to-toe tattoos and then go crazy pinning quotes I want all over my body; such as "you don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have". I think if I were ever able to go through with this my mom would sub come to an early death. One of the things that always makes me more creative and seems to spurn on these random blog posts, are visits to Starbucks. Coffee tastes a bit different for me now with chemo in my body, but I think it's the atmosphere itself that keeps me coming back. The atmosphere here always stirs my creative juices, it makes me feel more urban than I probably am. Like I could pull off a thick sweater, five dollar chunky wedges and a floppy hat.<br />

In the book world, I have been reading <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13449693-the-raven-boys">The Raven Boys</a> by Maggie Stiefvater. I have always loved Maggie's writing; it's not bogged down by over drawn details. They are usually beautifully written books that have a very romantic and old feeling to them. The Raven Boys is not exception to this equation of excellence, I just find that it is running a little slower than I like. I'm a little confused by some of the characters, and oddly lost as to who is suppose to be the main couple?! I know Blue is the girl, because she's ugh the only one, but there is at least two main boys that seem to be vying for her attention. It's confusing.<br />
<br />
I also picked up <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12578077-obsidian">Obsidian</a> in the Lux series and am excited to start this series even though it's not very popular in the YA community I've heard some good things about it.<br />
<br />

It's sunday and you know what that means, In My Mailbox! Oddly I haven't bought any books this week, so instead of not posting I decided that I would blog about the books I am reading and some of this weeks favorites.<br />
<br />
I'm still reading Shadows, by Ilsa Bick. I'm reading slow because I'm sadly a little disappointed with this book. Not because it's not amazing but because I'm so frustrated with the author! I feel like Ms. Bick (not going to assume she is or isn't married), could have gone AMAZING with this book, but places I feel she could have gone right she went left. I will do a review on the book, and the first one because I think they are still worth the read.<br />
<br />
This week I'm also reading <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8038903-crazy-sexy-diet">Crazy Sexy Diet</a>, by Kris Carr. Kris is a cancer survivor and author of one of my fav books: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1711249.Crazy_Sexy_Cancer_Tips">Crazy Sexy Cancer</a>. This book is all about diet and vegan living, and it makes me want to take charge of what I eat, sadly I love Starbucks to much to change I fear, but time will tell.<br />
<br />
This week in general is a favorite because it was a no chemo week. This upcoming tuesday I have chemo again, but I had the week off which is always a plus to be feeling able to move around and read.<br />
<br />
I also have a Pinterest favorite this week, Pinterest is a guilty pleasure and a time consumer for me. If any of you are a fan of BroTips on twitter, than you should like this BabeTip. I find it personally relevant, and I'm sure will resonate with you all as well as we all have our battles.<br />

<br /></div>
Hello all! I thought I would give you all a quick update. As many of my faithful followers will notice, I have been "away" from the blog for quite awhile, with random and infrequent updates. I was originally not going to mention on the blog the reason for the absence but I recently checked my blog email and noticed that I have missed quite a few emails and without wanting to appear unprofessional or rude I decided to share the reason. I don't know if anyone will even see this anymore but 6 months ago, April 23rd to be exactly I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma, a type of Cancer that affects one's immune system. I have been sick for over 2 years and was just recently diagnosed properly. I have been in chemo for the last 5 months and had chemo extended and additional two months. I don't plan on talking much about this on the blog because I want this to be the one thing in my life not affected by my cancer. If you would like to know more about this I do "tweet" quite often about it. My personal twitter is "sVioletp". I am trying to blog more often now, I know I have probably lost most of my readers but I will continue to review when I feel able to do so. Love you all.<br />

I only bought one book this week, but I thought I would also include my new DVD purchase my mom bought me this week whilst I lounge about in bed.<br />

Recently, I have been spending a lot of time aimlessly put-ting around my house very bored but lacking the desire to pick up a new book. For the last couple of weeks I have been staring at my copy of <i>Pandemonium </i>by Lauren Oliver but am unable to start reading it. The ending of the last book left such a biter taste in my mouth that the process of reading this book seems daunting and unfulfilling.I started to read a few pages of the book when I first picked it up but after getting a couple chapters in I realized that, SPOILER, Lena was starting to fall for another boy that was not her boyfriend Alex who in the end of the first book we were made to believe had died. I have heard from a few other readers that the sequel, despite my apprehensions, is very good. Have any of you read it?<br />
<br />
Amongst my laziness in these last few days, I rediscovered my little archaeology blog that I created for a class this last semester at University. It is unlike this blog in that it focuses on my love for ancient history and all things old, but I did manage to blog about some very interesting finds. The picture below shows a snapshot of my post on a skeleton found of a couple who were buried holding hands. Aw. This link if you would like to check out this blog is: http://manymindlessmusings.tumblr.com/<br />

I have ranted and raved about these books since the beginning. The very first day the book came out I bought it, and read it within the day. Every since that fated book I waited anxiously for the next year until the next one, and again until the third and finial book. Since I found out that the books were being made into a movie I was skeptical that they wouldn't do them justice, but when I look at this trailer I feel like this movie might actually be comparable to the books.<br />
The new trailer came out yesterday, I can't wait for this movie!<br />

I was sitting at home, having just finished a really great book and was feeling kinda down, the depression hit a little when I realized that I would never have that great feeling of reading that book for the first time again and be completely engrossed at what would happen.<br />
Being a 22 year old female, I have had my fair share of heartbreak and dating experiences. I've learned that the feeling of one's heart breaking is a indescribable feeling that you can only understand if you too have gone through it. Anyways, it was during this day, having just finished this great book, that I realized something: the feeling of finishing a great book is comparable to the feeling of losing someone you care about or the feeling of suffering from a broken heart.<br />
I suppose in retro-spect it makes sense, the experience of reading a book is so personal and hits everyone differently: we all picture the novel in our head and through each page we slowly fall in love with the characters, the setting, and the writing.<br />
I remember the first time I finished the Hunger Games I was like a lost puppy, life had no meaning without Peeta and Katnis regularly in my life! I began to live vicariously through them and their romance in the novel and also they're lives in general. Similarly to falling out of love with someone, I would also dream of these newly finished books in my dreams, they occupied my daydreams and we're my favourite things to think about aimlessly.<br />
This is the great things about books though, unlike an ex, I aways have my books to turn back to when the other has put me through the ringer. Boys just don't stick around like my Peeta does!<br />

As I sit here procrastinating on latin studying, and I thought "Jeez, why don't I blog"! So thats what I'm doing I suppose... I have another blog that I had to write for my archaeological ethics class and I will add the link incase any of you guys want to see it. (http://manymindlessmusings.tumblr.com/)<br />
<br />
On another note, I also have my personal twitter incase anyone would like to add me, warning: I tweet a lot of nonsense and tend to over share, follow at your own risk! My user name is <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/sVioletp">@sVioletp </a><br />
<br />
Just a taste of some of the pictures I tweet;<br />

following summer I was in a reading rut, nothing I put in my hands was
interesting enough to keep me intrigued enough to get passed the 80<sup>th</sup>
page. The reason I am so excited to finally read <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Insurgent</i> is mostly because; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent</i>
was the book that got me out of this rut!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I loved <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent, </i>dystopian
novels have always been my favorite genre. YA dystopias usually have a strong
female lead and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divergent </i>is no different. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t

And some creative writing<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello all my lovely bloggers. Summer has commenced, and while I wait all school year for this momentous occasion I find myself lonely and without meaning in the boondocks-- also called "Home Sweet Home". The past couple of days I have been missing my blog tremendously, so instead of going to bed at 8 I decided I would be a rebel and stay up a little longer to give a shout out! HEY THERE</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope this will be the start to my regular blogging again- in fact I decided right this moment that it will be! Other than missing my blog, this past week has also reminded me of my love for writing. While browsing the documents on my Mac, I came across this creative writing assignment from a first year Uni class and it gave me a chuckle, you shall see if you keep reading. Disclaimer, I think I have become dull since I wrote this. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>How to Talk Your Way Out of a Ticket</b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b><br />
</b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px;"></span></span></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Every driver out there has experienced the “fear” of the speeding ticket. Next to getting into an accident, it is most drivers’ worst fear when traveling by car. While it is a pain in our “butts” and dangerous to our saving accounts, the hefty charge of the speeding ticket can be avoided. Next time you see the officer waddle towards your vehicle to ask if you know what you did wrong, try any one of the following steps; </span></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This first step usually only works for girls, and some sexually confused men, and it will almost guarantee an exemption from any speeding ticket. This is done via the power of flirting. Well let’s be honest God’s gift to men are “boobs”, and if you got it –flaunt it! As the officer approaches your vehicle he will ask if you know what you have done. Looking up at him, eyelashes batting, answer calmly that you have no idea why you are being pulled over! Next it is important to try to avoid the matter of the ticket. Try to use your clothing as a distraction by pulling at your short skirt to show just enough leg, or bringing attention to your chest… ugh area. Try to continue the conversation for as long as possible. It also doesn’t hurt to give compliments such as giving him props for staying away from common stereotypes about cops and their donuts! If you have been successful, the officer will walk away minutes later completely swept off his feet, and in the process forgetting about the ticket. </span></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This next tip should be followed out with a southern accent. This time when he asks you if you know why you have been pulled over, act surprised while saying things like “golly” and “oppsy-dazy”. It helps to make references to the good old days, while blaming the engineering of the car. Complain how these accidents never would have occurred in the world of the Flintstones. He will be too shocked at your innocence, and assume your speeding was a mistake. Either way he will believe you, or pity you for your stupidity. </span></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">When trying to get out of a ticket it never hurts to test the humanity in people. It may affect your afterlife, but lying about the death of a great-great-great-grandparent or beloved pet is sure to get you off-the-hook. Have a breakdown in front of the police officer. Try pulling off real tears; biting the inside of your mouth with great force will usually do the trick. As you tell him how you just got the news that your beloved goldfish “catnip” drowned, make sure to look vulnerable and destroyed. This approach takes a very heartless person to hand you a fine in your vulnerable mental condition. </span></b></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The following are a number of approaches that are not 100% affective, but you can pull it off with enough gusto and personal touch! Tell the officer that it’s not your fault; you literally have been diagnosed with a lead foot, you momentarily suffered from highway hypnotism and envisioned you were on the Autobahn highway in Germany, or you were simply rushing home to finish your English project that was due the next day- hey it shouldn’t be your fault your such a dedicated student!</span></b></div>Sarah (Book Reviews from Inside an Igloo)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03918877915737712201noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853200768620908756.post-41508995397327214992010-11-22T12:51:00.000-08:002010-11-22T12:51:27.523-08:00IMM November 22nd<iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iCdcKexScRs?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Hope it's not to quiet!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy readings!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Sarah (Book Reviews from Inside an Igloo)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03918877915737712201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853200768620908756.post-63554733335244502952010-11-01T14:36:00.000-07:002010-11-01T14:36:48.397-07:00IMM: October 31stImm is a weekly blog that was created by the amazing Kristi at The Story Siren<br />

But that's not quite how things have worked out.<br />
<br />
For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?<br />
<br />
And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned. She's Astley's queen</span></i></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Aside from maybe Peeta, Bones is probably my favorite male hero! He is so witty, and he has an odd past that not many writers are willing to write into the main heros past, as some may see it as a flaw (I won't give away what his past is because it was fun to discover ;)] . I really enjoy Jeaniene's writing style, I have even read her other companion books to the night huntresses series and liked them just as much as I did these books! I can not wait for this book and if you have not read the rest of the series I highly recommend them!!</span></b></span></b></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><br />

I am in love with Katniss’s characters, although I do find myself cursing at her stubbornness something, but people in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mockingjay didn’t disappoint the Hunger Game’s addict in me, that addict was well sedated at the end of this trilogy. With every good book though, I was sad to see it end, I can still remember picking up the first book the week it came out and cursing the year intervals between installments. I will try to keep this as spoil free as possible, because although I know a lot of people, including myself, couldn’t wait to dig in, I know many of you are still in the dark. This book is full of grit and the love that the other two books delivered. But with any good series finale there is some parts that are hard to swallow. Some things seemed unnecessary, and I most definitely sat on the edge of hysteria a couple of times. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mockingjay promises to wrap up the conflict with the Capital in a way that is most unexpected, and we also see what happens with district 13. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For you Peeta vs Gale routers, you will have your answer by the end of Mockingjay, and I will say that I was very happy with the result! </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing I love about these books is that Katniss is such a loyal character; she lives for the people she loves, which is evident from the first book. In Mockingjay you will see this particular trait beat her up, and damage her core. It is her weakness. But in my opinion this is what makes her so relatable. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have fallen in love with Suzanne’s writing style from the first book. She writes with short dramatic sentences that pack a punch, and leave you stunned at her brilliance. </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Hunger Games Trilogy </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">is a set of books that, in my opinion, do not compare to any other books I have read; the characters, history and writing style are so uniquely Suzanne that they are easily my favorite books, and my go to recommendation to anyone asking for a good read. </span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

Grace Divine made the ultimate sacrifice to cure Daniel Kalbi. She was infected with the werewolf curse while trying to save him, and lost her beloved brother in the process. When Grace receives a haunting phone call from Jude, she knows what she must do. She must become a Hound of Heaven.<br />
Desperate to find Jude, Grace befriends Talbot—a newcomer to town who promises her that he can help her be a hero. But as the two grow closer, the wolf grows in Grace, and her relationship with Daniel is put in danger—in more ways than one.<br />
Unaware of the dark path she is walking, Grace begins to give into the wolf inside of her—not realizing that an enemy has returned and a deadly trap is about to be sprung</span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

I loved the first book in the series; The Dark Divine. I have a thing for werewolves and I liked this bittersweet story of love, and redemption. There is a little bit of religion in this tale, but I feel that it doesn't mock anyones beliefs, if anything it is purely there to add layers to the character. I recommend the first book, and I know I am going to try to wait patiently for december!!</span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

I blame it on my internet which has been on the fritz for the last few days!! Anyways I am here, and am trying very hard to maintain my blogging responsibilities! Since I missed many daily meme's this week, I am going to include a picture below of just a few books I have bought lately, some are books I received on my birthday (I got the first 8 books in the "Dark Hunter" series, and I am in LOVE!)</span></span><br />

EKKK. This post is more so just a reminder of MY CONTEST!! And to ask you guys to keep the news going around of it, as I am probably going to be unable to "advertise" with the status of my crummy internet right now. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
