I'll Tell You As Soon As I'm Allowed to Tell You

I can't tell you what the last post is JUST yet...but, soon enough. soon enough.

On a side note, I just joined goodreads.com and absolutely LOVE it! It inspires me to read more books! I went to this authors page on there and she had this awesome list that I thought I would copy and paste and share with you. It's actually from a book she wrote:

"THE FIRST TEN LIES THEY TELL YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL

1. We are here to help you.
2. You will have time to get to your class before the bell rings.
3. The dress code will be enforced.
4. No smoking is allowed on school grounds.
5. Our football team will win the championship this year.
6. We expect more of you here.
7. Guidance counselors are always available to listen.
8. Your schedule was created with you in mind.
9. Your locker combination is private.
10. These will be the years you look back on fondly.

TEN MORE LIES THEY TELL YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL

1. You will use algebra in your adult lives.
2. Driving to school is a privilege that can be taken away.
3. Students must stay on campus during lunch.
4. The new text books will arrive any day now.
5. Colleges care more about you than your SAT scores.
6. We are enforcing the dress code.
7. We will figure out how to turn off the heat soon.
8. Our bus drivers are highly trained professionals.
9. There is nothing wrong with summer school.
10. We want to hear what you have to say."

Speak is fantastic. The next on your list needs to be Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes

I love young adult lit. Let me know if you find any other good ones.
