Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Well the cool thing about running is that you can always add more time. Push yourself to run more than your used to; then believe you will feel new pain. or you can even run on a different kind of land (up hill, down hill, straight lines, zigzag) that way you always feel the "burn" and challenge yourself more.

I really don't know much, like I said just saw the movie, and I don't think I should say anything till I read the book because usually the books are a bit better. The one thing that I really like about the story though, is Rick's voice. I mean its kinda different than other books I've read and his stories kinda have a feel of their own. I really don't know much about Greek mythology (even though I like it and trying to learn as much as possible).

Have you seen the movie/s?

Nah I haven'..."


Haha how will the city feels when it knows you feel that about her?? lol


Aww well I heard that she isn't the nicest person on the planet, but I don't think that's a big problem. I mean there are lots of people out there who aren't really nice and not every author is going to be a good role modal. But I mainly watching it for the actors and directors though. haha I just really wanna see how they did some of the things and I feel like the cast is gonna be epic so... and after all the story itself is pretty good too.

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments haha. Ugly is a big word..... lol anyways im not watching it for his face or Lily's I meant their acting. and i'm a fan of Harald Zwart (the director). and he worked hard to create the world to the best of his abilities.

I don't know. Its kinda bit sad that all you mentioned is the romantic side of the story. I mean there's the brotherhood between Jace and Alec. There's what Clary did for her mother. Then there's even Simon's sister. And the "respect" Sebastian has for his "dad". and also Bane's honesty. oh and there are more lessons to the story than "a girl falls for a guy who treats her badly" but that's just what I think xD

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments hahahahahaha....sorry but I found this funny. I never thought about him that before. but he also stopped him from just telling his parents without realizing??

BTW did you read TID?? b/c its better than TMI, even though I didn't like Tessa the MC at all.

Heather DeChaume | 46 comments Has anyone seen the movie In Time? My husband was watching it earlier and asking me if it was based on a book. I can't find anything that says it is, but the plot line sounds so familiar. Maybe I've seen the movie and just don't remember it.


message 371: by Katrina (new)

Katrina  Belle (katrinabellebeauty) | 1 comments The people who made the movie were sued by a writer for similarities to his story called "Repent, Harlequin! Said the Tick Tock Man." From the '60s. He dropped the lawsuit later though.

The books are really well crafted. Brilliant characterization and unpredictable plots. The only problem is they have no ending ...
