So, the awesomeness that is my former English teacher/ Drama teacher gave me 25 Barnes and Noble bucks for judging debates. YAY ME!!

And I've been storing my 20% off coupons. YAY ME!!

THIS is what I got - and then a question for you at the end.

(I've done this on here before, and I'll do it again, because I think it's important)

Here's the cover, and the first few lines of each:

Loved this.
It hovers between a four and a five, just because it took me a while to get into it. But I always round up ;-D

I've spent a lot of time sailing on the ocean, and felt like it HAD to be part of one of my books. I adore Antony to pieces, but being on a sailboat for him wasn't nearly as fun as it is for me.

I'll just do my quote thing:

“We only see what's close to us, but if we allow ourselves to simply feel, and not see, we can understand so much more.”
Jolene B. Perry, The Next Door Boys

“Oh, come on, what’s the matter with Romeo and Juliet?”
Megan took the movie from my grasp to put it in the DVD player.

“Do you want a list?” I didn’t wait for an answer. “Romeo’s whining about a girl one day, in love with Juliet the next. He has the decency to marry her but then they go back to her parent’s house? I mean, what kind of asinine plan is that? Come on, their families hate each other! If you’re going to sneak away and get married, just sneak away! It’s like watching the girl in a horror movie walk up the dark attic stairs. She totally deserves whatever
she gets at the top.”

"Are you saying they deserved to die?”
Jolene B. Perry, The Next Door Boys

“I had been so worried about him not wanting me that I hadn't stopped to know if I really wanted him--if he was right for me.”
Jolene B. Perry, The Next Door Boys

“Does it ever make you sad?"
"Does what?"
"The Sunset,"
"Sad? Nah, I think it's peaceful."
"Not to me. I've always found it depressing."
"How so?"
"I guess because it's the end. I hate endings."
"Not all endings are bad though. I think of sunsets more as a clean slate. Besides, they're beautiful... like you"
