Legacies (Shadow Grail #1)
A teen befriends four others when the world she knew is flipped upside down after her family dies in a car accident. While recuperating in the hospital she also finds out that her home has been burned to the ground as well. She is sent to Oakhurst Academy where she is told she is a Legacy and that means she's a magician. Her magic hasn't fully manifested like the others but they are able to stop something that has plagued the students of Oakhurst for years.
I've been looking for a good book for a while and while I've read others, this one makes me want to read more. For me, this was refreshing. The characters were engaging and the plot fascinating to say the least. From the start I knew something was up in the school that no one was talking about. And when Spirit and her friends found a compelling clue in the basement I knew something was up even more. The crew of course ends up saving the day but in a very exciting way. All in all I just loved this book and can't wait to get my hands on the next!

Le gasp! A book review! Yes, I'm doing that now. I bought a Kindle for class purposes and I couldn't let the opportunity go to waste and not read something other than class work. I was excited to read this book too because it had one of my favorite authors. I love how she's dabbled in everything.
Maybe art to come. I just haven't been in the mood lately. Slight art slump because of class. My silk screens have been giving me hell and there's a possibility that I may have to either buy new ones or get these restretched with new screen material. Restretching is much cheaper and I can ask my teacher to take them for me. She lives near the place and needs it done as well so it sorta works out.
I'm tired, a little stressed and sore. Sore mostly from work. I need new shoes and inserts because I hurts just to stand for too long in the shoes I have now. I've worn them that much. I will be happy to toss them in the trash when the time comes. Along with my regular shoes as well. Cracks in the bottoms so water leaks in easily when it rains, the leather is cracked as well and the back are worn as well. Poor shoes, I'm so hard on them. They barely last a year sometimes.
Along with new shoes I just need new clothes period. I hate spending all that money on clothes but I need a new wardrobe mostly. I really have maybe 4 pairs of pants that are really comfortable. So pants are a must and then underthings. Blah.
Anyway, on to my pogo games. Badges are calling my name.
