So I got a voicemail message last night at 3am from my best friends telling me that they were at some deli in Hollywood and had just seen Adam Brody, Ben McKenzie and Rachel Bilson. (!!!) OMG. I. AM. SO. JEALOUS. I have to call you two back to get more details. SQUEE.<\/p>\n
I’m participating in the 50 Book Challenge<\/a> and I figured I am overdue for an update and reviews…<\/p>\n January<\/b> February<\/b> I just picked up The Secret Life of Bees<\/i> this weekend which I can’t wait to start…<\/p>\n The Sunday Brunch<\/a><\/p>\n 1.

\n1. Fearless<\/i> by Francine Pascal, 199p
\n2. Fearless – Sam<\/i> by Francine Pascal, 200p
\n3. Fearless – Run<\/i> by Francine Pascal, 207p
\n4. Almost Paradisee<\/i> by Susan Isaacs, 530p
\n5. Fearless – Twisted<\/i> by Francine Pascal, 214p
\n6. The A-List<\/i> by Zoey Dean, 243p
\nA book equivalent of a show like The OC<\/i>. Pretty mindless and fun. If not a little far-fetched. Or maybe I’m just not cynical enough?
\n7. Angels and Demons<\/i> by Dan Brown, 569p<\/p>\n
\n8. The Last Juror<\/i> by John Grisham, 486p
\nI’m still undecided on this book. I don’t know if I actually liked it or not. For me, it took a looong time for the story to get rolling, which almost made me stop reading a few times, but I liked the characters and their relationships too much to do so. An average Grisham effort.
\n9. Digital Fortress<\/i> by Dan Brown, 372p
\nEhhh. Nothing about this book really grabbed me. I didn’t understand the characters or their motivations. There was action and suspense but… I finished it feeling very disappointed.
\n10. Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason<\/i> by Helen Fielding, 338p
\nFor whatever reason, I didn’t like Bridget as much in the sequel (I loved the first book). She totally frustrated me! lol. A fun read though.
\n11. Deception Point<\/i> by Dan Brown, 557p
\nA *much* better book than Digital Fortress<\/i>. The characters were better developed and there seemed to be real tension and conflict between all of them. The story had me guessing all the way through.<\/p>\n
\n2. Did you live in a dorm or an apartment?<\/b> Both. I lived in the dorms for the first 2 years and an apartment for my last 2.
\n3. Who was your favorite roommate?<\/b> My friend Shirley! We were roomies for 3 years.
\n4. What is your favorite college sport?<\/b> Not a huge sports person but I’d have to say basketball.
\n5. Who was your favorite professor and class?<\/b> My favorite professor was Bruce Cain. I took a few of his classes — California Politics and the Ethics of Politics. Both were phenomenal.<\/p>\n
