Summer Reads

Summer is the best time of year for multiple reasons but for book nerds like myself they are perfect for checking off books on your "To Read" list.

One of my new found favorite authors is John Green (As you can see off to the right corner) I still recommend The Fault in Our Stars if you haven't given it a go yet but I recently read my second book by Green and it was Looking for Alaska. Once again I couldn't put this book down! I am now on my third John Green (I picked this one up for the beach) called Paper Towns.

I will also be reading The Dew Breaker...

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I have arrived at the beach!!! For the next two weeks I will be soaking in the rays with my family down by the pool, beach and tennis courts! This is the best part of summer, when you can relax and catch a wave.

We always go to the beach for two weeks, except last year we were unable too because my dad had to work...It has been 2 years since my feet have touched sand, I didn't even realize that until I was heading over for the first time yesterday. The water is beautiful but is it just me or do your legs itch when you leave the ocean water after standing in knee high for a minuet? Well mine always do and yesterday I experienced that...

I hope your having a spectacular summer and have time to go to the beach at some point...

Spiderman

I saw Spiderman at midnight last night (or should I say this morning) and it was AMAZING!

First of all I love Andrew Garfield! He is gorgeous! Not to mention I recently found out he has an English accent, as if he couldnt get anymore irresistible? I first "experienced" Andrew Garfield in one my all time favorite movies (not just because Garfield is in it but also because of the music and structure) and fell in love with him as an actor and as the handsome man he is! Emma Stone is one lucky girl! (In case you didnt know the two are dating in real life, they fell for each other while filming The Amazing Spiderman together)

Aside from the glorious fact Andrew was Peter Parker I was a little hesitant for this movie to come out, simply because I loved Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in what I call, the "original Spiderman" movies. I recall being a little kid and staying out late with my older brother to see those movies so I guess you could say they are kind of nostalgic for me, hence my hesitance. However I learned for the first time last night that there were always 2 Spiderman comics! I never knew this, and to be honest I dont know the entire background. There are a few differences for instance, Tobey plays the Spiderman with webs that shoot out of his wrist area where as Andrews' Peter Parker creates wrist machines that shoot the web out for him. Their love interest have different names, Kristen was Mary-Jane and Emma is Gwen. I have to say, the one major difference about the budding love between the two Spidermans and their girls is how Emma and Andrew are together faster in the movie, and Gwen learns that Peter is Spiderman sooner then Mary-Jane did which I personally loved.

Are you going to see The Amazing Spiderman? I highly recommend it!

Have a spectacular rest of the week, I will be daydreaming of Andrew Garfield and his sexy English accent.
