The Peanut Chronicles

Monday, August 21, 2006

I just read a really good book. it is called As simple as snow. it is anything BUT simple. I really enjoyed it because, like me, it was a little odd. the premise of the book is that there is a goth girl in town who meets a boy and then disappears in february. all that's left is her dress next to a hole in the ice. but the book makes you wonder if she has really died or is still alive. was it murder, suicide, or a prank?

I relate to this book. at times, when I was reading it, I was in total shock. I could have sworn that the author had gotten ahold of my diaries from about ten or twelve years ago and created a story using them. I wound up underlining passages in the book just to make sure I had read them right. I am not kidding. it could have been me. and when I say that he found my diaries and used them I am talking about my REAL diaries and not the fake ones that everyone has seen me writing in. it was almost creepy.

I think what I really liked about it was the code. "something as simple as snow". snow is simple and yet to compair every snowflake in the world and catolge them etc is quite complex. hence, snow is never quite as simple as it looks. there are layers of complexities to it. I like it because that is how I feel about my self. nothing is ever as black and white as it seems with me. I am the queen of answering questions with more questions (thank you grandpa for that talent) and if you don't ask the right questions then every answer you will get seems wrong.

anyway, I reccomend the book. I don't think that every one will like it that I know but I think that a few people will like the errie story.

and speaking of books....

...my book is offically for sale!! wohoo!!! it even has reviews up on the publishing website!!!

I have more to say but Peanut has awoken and wants attention. He really needs to sleep though. no nap so far really today. a 20 minute nap at costco does not count!!!!!
