another book summary :]

So, I'm still reading I Know It's Over by C.K. Kelly Martin. I don't know why its taking me so long to read, I keep getting sidetracked by other books... 

Anyways, the quote I chose was,
"She recited her phone number and I repeated it, stamping the number into my head,"

When I read this quote, I thought it was really cute because even though he wasn't really sure if he liked her that much, but he knew he liked her enough to try to memorize her number. But why does he like her? They are in totally different social crowds, and they themselves are totally different people. I guess you can say that opposites attract, but even as I read it I knew it wouldn't last. But don't they see it too? I mean, it seams like they know they probably shouldn't go out, but they still are. Sometimes, I wish I could just yell at them in the book to different things, but obviously I can't. Oh well ...

Reading summary :DDD

Ok, so the book I started reading this weekend was I Know It's Over by C. K. Kelly Martin. it isn't the best book ever, and it hasn't really captured my attention yet, but here is the quote I chose.
 
"Sarah doesn't laugh this time. Her parents aren't a joke to either of us. We spent five months arranging meetings behind their backs and coaching Lindsay and Sasha's other friends on alibis. We never even came close to getting caught. Or so I thought."

I chose this quote because it really stuck with me. I feel the pain of these to people, that they had to hide from their parents all the time. I mean I know what they were doing, but training your friends? Was it even worth it, since they broke up? I don't know. Since I have never been in a situation like that, I have no clue. But it did show me the consequences of what they did. I can try to relate, but its hard. I really liked the quote though because it made me sad.

Book Summary[:

The book I read this weekend was called The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. 

Here is the quote I chose from the book. 

" Tossing
I don't sleep.
I hold on to my bed.
The backups must go.
My fingers dig into my sheets.
I want sleep. Forget. Melt into the night. 
But.
What if something goes wrong?
I may need them. It is only information.
Limbo.
Dreamland. 
That's all. 
And if I try hard enough
maybe I can forget the dark place where 
they
we
are. "

This piece from the book brought up many questions. Since this book takes place in the future, I had a hard time grasping everything. But when I finally started understanding it, this page in the book struck me. I was wondering, will she give up her backups up to save her friend's minds, or will she keep them for her own benefit? Will she try to push away the dark place she was when she was in a coma? I wasn't sure what I would have done in her situation, if I would have kept them there because I needed them as evidence, or saved them from what I had gone through. In the end though, I would have saved them because they are my friends and I wouldn't want them to go through what I went through. Even though this quote is a bit complex if you haven't read this book, I think that it tells a lot about the story itself.
