Well today's friday, which means a whole weekend to lie down, watch movies and read books. That's something you don't know about me, I'm a bookworm and proud of it! It's basically one of my only talents; I can read fast. Give me 2 days and I'll be done reading 500 pages(or in the case of Harry Potter 5, it took me 3 days). One thing I don't understand though, it's how some people manage to write 3 or 4 books in a year!! I'm not talking kids books, but adult or teenage fiction - 300/400 pages!  One particular author comes to mind...Meg Cabot. That woman is a machine. Seriously, she can't be human.

I read many of her books, including Princess Diaries 1-7, The Mediator Series, Avalon High, All-American Girl, Ready or Not, and many more! I just don't understand how she can write a few books a year, AND they're all different stories! With different characters, plots, how is it possible to build so many stories at the same time? Books, short fiction, essays, mangas and 2 online diaries make her one hell of an author! I only have respect for her, she is amazing. 

Teen Books: 40

Kids: 4

Adult Fiction: 12

Books under the name Patricia Cabot: 8

Comic Books: 2

Short Fiction/Essays: Who knows!

One of my goals before I die is to write a book, and publish it. Doesn't matter if I don't sell more than 5 copies, I just want the satisfaction and to be able to say: I wrote a book. To all the authors out there, congratulations, writing is an art and I admire you.

Here's a list of my favourite books up 'till now:

-The Other Boleyn Girl ~  Philippa Gregory

-Harry Potter 1-7(Duh!) ~  J.K. Rowling

-Bridget Jones's Diary 1-2 ~ Helen Fielding

- Artemis Fowl 1-6 ~ Eoin Colfer

- The Host ~ Stephenie Meyer

- Mediator Series ~ Meg Cabot

-Princess Diariesy ~ Meg Cabot

-Avalon High ~ Meg Cabot

-The Supernaturalist ~ Eoin Colfer

- Diary of a Mad Mother-to-be ~ Laura Wolf

- Miss Invisible ~ Laura Jensen Walker

-The Solomon Sisters wise up ~ Melissa Senate

-The Funeral Planner ~ Lynn Isenberg

Well that's it for now! I'm sure I forgot to mention a few books, oh well!

Lily Apple

Round and round

Good day or night to you dear reader,

my name is Lily Apple,... well not really, I just prefer to stay anonymous. I chose Lily because it's my favourite name! It just sounds so delicate, pretty and soft, unlike me. I am not delicate, which brings us to ''Apple''.  I am a curvaceous, 5'5'' Redhead,  if you actually thought I was this big, red faced freak, well you are wrong. Anyway, I thought apple suited me well. I am sweet, round and ''red''!

I decided to write this blog after having read a book called ''Miss Invisible''. I loved how honest it is, and for once the main character is not this whiny, I-am-so-fat-I-can't-fit-into-a-size-4-jeans-because-I-am-a-huge-size-8-girl. Ok first off, a size 8 is SMALL ok people? Even a size 14 is not that big. Women are supposed to have curves, hips, boobs, tummy. I am not Pro-Fat, I am Pro-Health and Happiness! Anyway back to the book! The main flaw of the book is its main character; Freddie(short for Fredericka), a chubby woman in her thirties. All through the book, she whines about how obesity is considered a disease among ''normal people''. She nevers eat in public out of fear people might judge her and say: ''Well no wonder she's fat, look what she eats!''. Being overweight myself, I know how that feels. But we have to draw the line at some point, yes people will judge you, no matter how big, skinny, old, young, blonde, brunette, redhead, so why not enjoy a good old Big Mac outside once in a while?

As a teenager I thought I had to be skinny to be popular, but one day I decided that's it!! I won't be skinny in a day so I'm gonna enjoy my curves and be proud of them! Confidence is key, believe me! Skinny blonde girls had nothing on me, I could make the boys drool just as much as them!

Today, I'm a 20 year-old student, I have a boyfriend who's as sweet as vanilla and as hot as spice. I've put on a few pounds since my teenage years, but I still love my curves!
