whoops
Ok so i dropped the story three weeks with my brother because it ended up being to repetative. so i started to read the book called the last song. This book was very well written and was written by nicholas sparks (aka one of my favorite authors now). The book was about a young girl who ended up moving to her dads house just for a little while to visit him. When she and her brother were there they discovered their dad had cancer and it was spreading rapidly. Her dad was also accused of burning down a church because he was the last one in the church. The girl ended up falling for a guy that was very wealthy and then realized that the guy she fell in love with was part of the act for why the church burned down and she broke up with him. As the time got closer to her fathers death she wanted to spend more time then ever with him. She used to not care about her dad because he left and caused some issues in the past. She and her dad used to also play piano when he was still around and she stopped when he left and she was very talented at it. One night her fathers hands got sore and he couldnt finish writting a piece on the piano and he had her finish it as she got done she realized he passed away. She played at the funeral and she got together with the boy. I enjoy reading and want to more

three weeks with my brother
Fantastic book so far they have gotten to their destination and are having a great time but slowly things fall apart. First Nicholas looses his wallet on the plane and doesnt realize it. Then where they were suppost to stay got booked before they had the chance to get the room so they have to stay in a crummy motel. Then Nicholas's cell phone breaks and they get stranded in the middle of no where. What a bummer! But he and his brother throughout all the arguing and complaints they decide to get together and decide what to do and thats where i stopped reading for now. I will finish reading this book and probably read motor trend books to find out more on the 2011 mustang concept.

three weeks with my brother by nicholas sparks and micah sparks
In this post i just started to read three weeks with my brother and it is so far one of my top few books i enjoy reading. In the first 4 chapters u realize that the life story of nicholas and micah unfolds and it shows their past and a modern day vacation that micah is extreamly excited for while nicholas is so wound up in his work that he cant seem to get up the enthusiam to want to go. They also include in the chapters a little of the story of their child hood like how there dad was god by making the rain stop when it actually was them going under an overpass on a highway but they were to little to realize it. Im really enjoying this book and I am very interested in it unlike the last book i read. The project is very interesting and well i dont think i would have even read this book otherwise. I used to love reading and now Im starting to get back into reading on a daily basis instead of texting constantly. I difinately like this project but its hard to do when internet access is sometimes hard to achieve getting in the country. But i like the idea of using modern day technology for this project. Rating would be a 4 out of 5 stars
total time read 20
number of books read 3 Hearts in atlantis, tale of desperaux, and now three weeks with my brother.

tod
In the final few chapters of the book desperaux is going to fight after what he believes and thinks is right and thats for his freedom to be in the colony. When he meets up with the rats he realizes he is going against a bigger force then he can handle. He retreats and askes the princess what he should do the princess says to him stand in the middle of my floor in my room and she will take care of it. Later that night desperaux did as he was told and stood in the middle of the floor. Just as the princess guessed the rats charged at desperaux little did they know she wasnt sleeping she was waiting and when they got close enough she yelled which was enough to scare everyone in the room to a stand still. As she had everyones attention she simply had a protest against the fighting and commanded it to stop and followed up the statement with a speach. After all the rats had fallen asleep because of the bordem she realized she had spoken to long and woke up each rat individually when they realized she was a kind person they decided to let desperaux talk and desperaux had a small couple sentances saying even though he different he still feels like he has the right to stay in the colony and the rats had a meeting for the next week as he waited patiently they decided to give humans a chance and try to get along.
This is a lame ending to me and i dont suggest the book to anyone i wanted some action but it never happened no fighting not anything so i will never read this book again.
total time reading 14 hrs switching from book to book will post next book next week.

in this post of tod i read desperaux just started talking to princess pea secretly one night with his new buddy clarance. clarance earlier didnt want to talk to princess pea because he had never talked to an actual human before. After hearing the princesses voice he was suddenly calmed and exclaimed everything to her in a matter of a few moments. After hearing all that had happened the princess decided to try and help she knew a place in the castle where the mice could go and she could help them with food and supplies it was the watch tower. The watch tower hadnt been used for centuries. After showing the two mice where they would be staying they decided this was a good place to hide untill they could decide what to do. The next chapter states how they got supplies and other materials for a matter of weeks untill the next chapter came. In this chapter the mice annd rats discover where desperaux and clarance are hiding and they go after them the princess finds out and tells the two littler mice. Desperaux, sick of running, decides to arm himself and fight for his right to live in the colony. He is on his way when i stopped reading. This is this weeks post.

just another post
In my last reading secession desperaux was just born and was oddly different than that of the other mice. Now he has gone over the top one day after he was done eating with the other mice he heard "honey" and said it was a sweet sound. The sound he actually heard was the sound of music and he was curious on what this music actually was like so he went to listen to it. This is when he meets the princess pea. She was listening to her father play music on a guitar while he sang to her. Desperaux was very interested and went to listen and before you know it he was standing in front of the king. Princess pea enjoyed seeing the mouse and picked it up. When another mouse saw this he told the counselor and Desperaux was sent to the rats. This is where my reading ended.
This applies in my life very well. Lets face it everyone gets interested in something that smells good to their senses. And if its delicious to you may take a bite of the food you smell because it tastes good. Desperaux did the same thing he got into trouble because he was to intrigued in the music and before you know it he got in trouble just like a little kid eating the food when you weren't supposed to. I also enjoy listening to music and if I ever listen to my sisters sing they get mad at me for it but like the mouse i used to press my luck very much and most of the time got caught and yelled at by them. This is my post of the week.

Ok I was initally gonna start reading my books by stephen king but decided to do those last and take a couple other books first. (save the best till last). The book im am reading right now is called tale of despereaux by kate dicamillo. this is about a mouse that enjoys music, stories,, and a young princess named pea. Throughout this book I will be finding out mainly what it is about due to the fact it doesnt say much on the back cover. The book starts out with the birth of the mouse. The mouse is the only one to survive in the litter. As of right now they are located in a castle in France. The mouses name was Despereaux due to the disappointment in the mother that only one mouse survived the birth. The strange and odd feature of the mouse is his ears are fairly large and his eyes were open almost immediately after the birth. They didnt think he was going to survive because of the odd features that had happened. But this is his story and he lived to tell it.
