Tay Darramont: September 2008
http://taydarramont.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. I read The City of Ember. My dear readers, have you ever, after reading an awesome book and eagerly awaiting/immediately seizing the sequel, been disappointed that it was not as good as the original? I would have to say that my biggest pet peeve (besides lame books in general) is lame sequels to really good books. I feel that it's almost insulting to the original book. . So, my question is, has this ever happened to you? Sunday, September 21, 2008. Me, Myself, and I. Suddenly...

Tay Darramont: Reader's Block
http://taydarramont.blogspot.com/2008/10/readers-block.html
Thursday, October 9, 2008. The weird thing about books for teens is that a lot of them are depressing. Or at least, a lot of the ones at my local library are depressing. Has this ever happened to you? So thank you, my dear fellow reviewers, for averting a potentially bad case of reader's block. Unfortunately, though, this method will not actually help me find new books to review. I must persevere in wading through shelves of sob stories in search of a good one. .

Tay Darramont: Everyone's Favorite Summer Activity
http://taydarramont.blogspot.com/2009/06/everyones-favorite-summer-activity.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. Everyone's Favorite Summer Activity. Ah, summer reading. Mandatory, teacher-assigned summer reading, that is. Exciting, no? On one hand, reading is exciting! Especially during the summer. I, personally, would read over the summer even if I didn't have to. On the other hand, the books that teachers assign are often (not always, but often) a huge yawn, and are also often depressing. And they wonder why so many kids don't like to read.

Tay Darramont: April 2009
http://taydarramont.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. Something very weird happened to me last Wednesday. I experienced not one, but two (quite unrelated) coincidences that day. Here are the four events, in chronological order:. 1 On the way to school, I listened to a podcast of NPR's Sunday Puzzle. One of the puzzle solutions was ". Cast," as in, the cast of the musical. 2 Upon arriving, I frolicked off to chemistry class, where I engaged in a spirited discussion about fate and predetermined destinies. Was very good, by the way.

Monday, August 3, 2009. Oh summer. Wonderful summer. Oh how cold you have been. I've been wearing jeans this whole time and have only said 'I'm hot' once or twice. Amazing. What kind of summer is that? I have about a month before I go back to school. But I'm kind of starting to miss school. Except.Eek. Seniorism. Oldism. Blah. I'm no where near ready to be on my last year of high school. Speaking of high school.has anyone seen the new Harry Potter movie? Posted by Yours Truly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Are you a Math lover? I haven't posted on here for a while. For all of you who have given up hope, I'm sorry. All I can say is: Books. I had many to read. I still do, but I'm letting myself relax a little. It was really hard to read five books at once. Using six fours, can you make a problem where the end result will equal ten? I'm curious, am I the only one that over complicated this problem? Math loving and yours,. Posted by Yours Truly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, September 1, 2008. Yeah…I’m back. Yay. I know you missed me and were wondering what the heck happened to me. One word: School. A few days ago, I went to the library with my class. I was appalled at the way the books were being introduced. The first comment, by the librarians, about the books were something along the lines of:. 8220;This book is nice and short…”. 8220;This book is not as long as it looks…”. 8220;This book is a quick read because of the way it’s written…”. How is that not exciting?
