Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot

Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Meg Cabot has done it again. Katie Ellison and her cast or friends and boyfriends are real, not just characters on a page. From the first page, the reader falls for Katie watching her wait tables at the Gull n’ Gulp. She is a very likable character, as are her host of boyfriends, friends, and family. This story is full of characters, but easy for the reader to follow. Everything about Katie from her fear of germs and love of photography, to her inability to find a balance with the guys in her life endear her to the reader and remind us of what high school was like. I absolutely loved this story. It is amazing how some books can help us understand life better. This is one of those books.

Buried in Beads

It is one o'clock in the morning and what am I doing? I am sitting here trying to put a website up and make it so people will actually be able to find it. As a matter of fact, that is all I have been doing for days and days and days and days. The kids are sleeping and the house is actually quiet for once. I should be in bed, but no. Here I sit covered in beads. I have gemstone jewelry coming out of my ears. I shake my head and amethyst falls on the floor. There are beads in the drawers and on the floor and on my desk. Possibly the most amusing part of this whole endeavor has been writing the page descriptions. In order to get the search engines to actually find your site, you have to use the words over and over and over. Then when someone searches the word, they will find you. But the repetition does make for amusing text. I hope to be writing something other than jewelry descriptions by the end of the week. But, if you have time, go check out my newest wild scheme: www.jewelryjungle.com.
