Books

"It was the circus," I told them. In the cool light of morning, the words must have sounded more sane than they had the night before, because no one rushed to calm me this time. Everyone waited.
"The CoveOps report," Liz said. She pulled a chair closer and sank into it, as if my words had knocked her off her feet. She reached for the bag and found the dirty copy I'd retrieved from the embassy in Rome.
"What does that have to do with..." Bex started, but Liz was already to the page where I had talked about going to the circus with my father. It was nothing, really, a sentence or two that could have just as easily been left out.
And if it had been left out, then my life probably would have turned out very, very differently.

-below a quote from-I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You


I remembered the time my dad took me to the circus. For two hours we sat side be side, watching the clowns and cheering for the lion tamer. But the part I remember most was when a man stepped out onto the high wire, fifty feet above the ground. By the time he reached the other side, five other people had climbed onto his shoulders, but I wasn't watching him-I was too busy staring at my father, who looked on as if he knew what it felt like, up there without a net.







I most definitely love series. Because the top quote is from book 5 and the second quote is from book 1. It's amazing how closely this author, Ally Carter, waved this story that forced me to read it again. I love it when that happens. When I'm an author, I hope I weave it better than anybody can imagine. Leaving details that anybody, even a spy, might overlook, then make it a huge deal in the end, surprising the readers and practily forcing them to re-read the books the see if they can catch that detail. So tightly woven that every sentence is important to the characters lives. The only way that this can possibly happen, of course, is experience. Write many stories. See if they get published. Work hard to get them to the world. This is my dream. This is my possibility. This is who I'm going to be. An author. I adore books, adore writing, and I have an open mind. Plus, I'm not afraid to show the world tidbits of how my mind works, along with the wisdom I've gained in life.
Nobody says that life would be easy. Just that it would be worth it.
I love this piece of wisdom. It gives life a whole new meaning.
If your here for the ride, expect some troubles
Life is totally worth it if it isn't given to you. Happiness isn't things. It's the things that hold great memories.

If I don't become an author, I might work in a library or create tv cartoons of cartoon games like Maplestory, ClubPenguin, Poptropica, and Webkinz.
