The CMAs were awesome, of course. Since I love Taylor Swift, I was happy to see her take home all four awards in the categories she was nominated, including Entertainer of the Year. Her couple of performances were also great. And the night wouldn’t have been half as funny if a bunch of the stars didn’t poke fun at Kayne. (And what was the deal with Wynonna Judd’s super dark fake tan? Holy cow, I thought I was going blind watching my HD TV!).

When Swift hosted Saturday Night Live last week, she was funny! Here is the video “Monologue” from that:

One more week until “New Moon”! Do you have your tickets yet? I do! (Yes, I’m way too excited about it).

I’ve been reading faster and more often these days, so I have two book reviews this week:

“Evermore” by Alyson Noel

Info

St. Martin’s, 2009

Evermore

Thoughts

I’m not usually a paranormal fan, but this reminded me somewhat of “Twilight.” It has a contemporary feel and a great love story with a lot of mystery that keeps you turning the pages. If you enjoy paranormal YA romance, I would recommend this author. This book is part of the “Immortals” series, and the second book (the sequence to “Evermore”) was released a couple of months ago.

  

 

 


“Lost It” By Kristen Tracy

Info

Simon Pulse, 2007

Lost It

Thoughts

This contemporary YA is about a girl who loses her virginity, and the way she deals with it, along with her struggling family situation. The author has a great voice and style that keep you moving through the story. I liked the ending and how the character was changed even though we don’t quite know what will end up happening in her life.

Keep reading and have a great week!
