Hello world!

Well hello there! I’m Melissa, though for some of you…you already know that.  I decided to start a blog based on the premise of new books I read! This has started with my reading of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  Now, I’ll get into more of that in the next blog I post!  For now, I may as well introduce myself to you all.  As of January 20, 2010, I turned a quarter of a century old.  Crazy aye?  But it’s true.  When I was younger, I loathed reading.  I was always forced to read in school which I’ve come to the conclusion, is why I hated it.  The only good year of experience with reading I truly had was in the fourth grade…partly because of my teacher, and partly because that’s the grade my mom taught.  We had a lot of exciting stories that year – one example being The Indian in the Cupboard.  Now that I’m grown, I’ve started to thoroughly enjoy reading.  The experience truly started when I was 19 and on my way to New Zealand.  I decided to pick up the first Princess Diaries book and from there, I couldn’t stop reading.  My favorite series books thus far that I’ve read have been The Princess Diaries (which includes too many books to name), The Sweep series (15 total), Harry Potter (7 total) and of course Twilight (4 books).  I’ve also been known to read V.C. Andrews books, my favorite of which is The Cutler Family series.   My favorite color is blue, and I love cheese.  Yes, I just put those in the same sentence!  I live for music as well, and honestly should have started a blog when I started to discover music from outside of the United States back when I was eighteen!  You can find me listening to anything from Classical to Metal to Country to Christian Rock!  However, you will not find me listening to rap or trance a whole lot.  Loving Twilight granted me to attend (thus far) three conventions, one being the first ever known Twilight convention here in the USA.  I was also a part of The Hillywood Show’s parody for New Moon and am hoping if they do Eclipse, to be part of it as well.  We shall see.  My favorite actors/actresses include Kristen Stewart (and not because of Twilight), Nikki Reed (also not because of Twilight), Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Adam Sandler (yes I love watching his movies), Heath Ledger (RIP), Peter Facinelli (again, not BECAUSE of Twilight – thank you Can’t Hardly Wait) and there are many, many more but that just names a few! My favorite musicians/bands include the likes of Pink, Within Temptation, Alexz Johnson, Rascal Flatts, Barlow Girl, and I’ll even admit it…The Spice Girls!  If you’d like to know more about me, you’re more then welcome to add me to facebook or follow me on Twitter.  I have the same user name on each that you can look me up by!  Well friends, for now, that is all!
