truvy1999

Married bookworm living in Daytona Beach, FL. My husband and I are both avid readers. I lean more towards fiction; he reads more biographical and inspirational type books. I have been a voracious reader for as long as I can remember. I read from every genre imaginable, but historical fiction is actually my favorite.

    Hi Truvy,
    I was born in Daytona and lived there until I was almost five, and then adopted and raised in Atlanta--
    were you born there?

    Hey there,

    I'm not going to say much (haha, right?), but I wanted to just update you on how I've been doing, since I've barely been around Shelfari in the past few months, and I'm probably going to delete my Myspace this summer (sorry, Truvy, and whoever else has me added. I just don't maintain it and to have all that personal information just sitting there, with the possibility of it getting spread, isn't worth the risk to me.) Anyways, some things: I graduate in four days from today, on Sunday. I'm pretty excited, I think, more to see family and such than to graduate. I'm sure it will be an emotional day, anyhow. Had my final choir concert last night, too; it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. So much connection, so many tears, so many memories all packed into about two hours. Crazy, but amazing! Ummm... what else? The day after graduation, I will be starting training to work six days (and sometimes nights) a week at a stables. Then this fall, I'm entering college, hoping to major in vocal (for now, since I got a scholarship), office administration (which seems more... job acquiring after college... than a vocal major does), and I'm still considering veterinary technician studies (I'd have to transfer twice, including once out-of-state, to complete that, though, so I'm not sure.) Other than that, not much else going on with me, just being driven nuts by all the graduation preparation in these final few days. I will probably not be writing at all this summer, and I don't know when I'll be writing this fall, due to my unknown college schedule, because Shelfari isn't exactly my forte anymore, even though it was for a while.

    I guess that's all from me. Sorry if this is too long. I guess I had to cram a lot to say into a little (well, sort of... haha...) message. Hope you are doing as well as I am and have a great summer, if I don't talk to you before I start working and college and all that jazz.

    Eclectic Book Club Peeps:

    All righty, let's have those nominations for our next big read. What's everyone in the mood for?

    Post your selections in the "Genres" thread and we'll hash it out. If that takes too much energy, I will put all genres nominated in a hat and pick one at random!

    Well Truvy, I actually run a summer reading club for one, among my "other duties as assigned". LOL I work with all the school libraries in my district and do tech stuff too. Love, love reading and my boss did actually tell me to go into my office at times and read! Floored me too. Most of my reading is done at home. Just finished the "Twilight" series too! 4 days--3 books WHEW! :)

    I have to keep reminding myself that it is a young adult novel, so the bulk of the people I'll encounter when I discuss it are going to be teenagers that aren't quite ready for the intelligent discussions I am seeking. *laugh* Thanks! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that enjoys the series, but can also see past the hype.

    anyway, i'd go on forever, but I want to get a response from you.. You should check out my lukman4bless@yahoo.com Then maybe we could chat sometime! you know what they say.. looks wins over the eyes, but personality wins over the heart.. haha..

    take care,
    lukman

    Truvy, I really enjoyed Like Water for Elephants. I read a book years ago called Geek Love with a side show/circus theme and loved that, too. Have you read The Thirteenth Tale yet? That was really wonderful, too.
