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...

Wednesday, November 12, 2008. What is your favorite book? My dear fellow book lovers,. In the interest of finding out some interesting books to read, I have decided to ask you (yes, you!

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. .

Misty Novella: Plays...
http://mistynovella.blogspot.com/2008/12/plays.html
Monday, December 15, 2008. So, in English we just finished "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller and everyone was complaining about how the play was boring, too simple, lacked visuals, etc. My teacher told us to remember that The Crucible is a play, and plays are, in fact, meant to be SEEN and not just READ. But I don't know. I stand kind of divided on this issue. What do you think? Read the script, or watch the play? Miss Misty of Mystery. This comment has been removed by the author. Are you kidding me!

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.

Avery Trelaine Nyx: February 2008
http://averytrelainenyx.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 10, 2008. Memed, I have been! Medeia Senka memed me. Hooray! Naturally, I took a really long time to post it. Because I fail. Which book do you irrationally cringe away from reading, despite seeing only positive reviews? I have to go with Aislinn on this.the. Lord of the Rings. Trilogy. I have no idea why. In my head I really, really like it. Lyra Belacqua (of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. And King Kazul the dragon (of Patricia C. Wrede's The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. Thus far ...

Sunday, April 13, 2008. The Great Meme Duel! I would like to point out that this challenge deadline is unfair to those of us. Cough*myself*cough* who do not have regular internet access. I am one of the few people that. Read B.'s handwriting. I am currently eating a tofu scramble. And it's delicious. Aislinn created my desktop background. It is purple. With yellow squiggles. Is awesome. It's so very relativity-ful. Desafortunadamente, it broke while I was dancing. I love manga. Particularly.
