Summer Must Have list!



You'll also wanna good bag for going to
the beach or pool or wherever. I love Baggu's
bags. They're cute, durable and would be great
for wet clothes or swim suits. There's a VAST array
of patterns and colors to chose from so you might want
to buy two.. or three! Visit baggubag.com for more info.
     $8 each or $22 for 3
I figured I would make this.. for all you people that don't read my blog.. so anyway..on with the list!
You'll need a good lip balm, probably with a SPF and would definitively reccomend EOS lip balms! I love the design and it tastes great too! The only one with SPF though is the Lemon flavor (at 15 SPF) so if you dislike lemons, I reccomend checking out Burt's Bees.
$3.00 at Walmart.
You're also gonna want... should I say NEED! a good pair of flip flops. I personally have a pair of Roxy flip flops that I love (even though they are currently infected with poison oak) and have had for a year or so and they are still in good condition. A+ for quality. However if you're a dude.. well you can't get Roxys.. and I don't really have any knowledge about guys sandals. I do know that if you have a mega budget Rainbow sandals are the bestest!! They last forever!
Anyway a good place to find good, (probably name-brand) flip flops is Ross, you can likely find a pair you like for $10 or less. Not bad if you consider that they will last longer than the $5 Walmart flip flops.  
$8 or more at Ross Stores.
 
In addition to a good pool/beach bag you'll want a good overnight bag for vacations. I've been enchanted by Dakine's EQ bags, which are of good quality and come in some pretty awesome patterns. I own two and am completely satisfied with both. As an added plus you can get all sorts of extra stuff to go with your bag  that match the pattern (laptop
sleeves, toiletries bags, etc.) These bags are currently $40 for the medium size (About what you'll want for a weeks worth of stuff/clothes) at Altrec.com, but they will probably be on sale sooner or later. (I got mine for about $25) If you really want one, I'd recommend looking on Ebay.com, where you'd probably find one you like!
$40 at Altrec.com
Also for you're summer you'll want a good book to read, because you should really enter your library's reading program. Some libraries have extravagant prizes (Ipods, gift cards) others aren't on such a grand scale, but you should really visit your local library to see what they have going one. Anyway as for books, I recommend The Charlatan's Boy by Jonathan Rogers. It's a good, fun read and would make a good start to your summer! You can read my review on this book on this blog. Some other titles I recommend are The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck, Adam, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Skin. If you'd like more recommendations you can ask your librarian, or me at thedealteen@gmail.com And remember all books are free if you get them at the library! 
That's all for now.. Enjoy your summer!

A review of The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck

To start off, The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck, is not the type of book I usually read. I usually read action, suspense, mystery, adventure type books. I found that this book pretty much is the same as the back cover, just with more detail, characterization, and an ending. Still, I found this a book I could barely put down, except for the fact that I was in love with the characters and didn't want it to end! So as much as I desired to keep reading, I forced my self to put it down so it wouldn't end too quickly!

  The author wove and characterized this story so well that I was hooked within a few pages. And I had to pay close attention so as not to miss anything as the story moves quickly.

In fact, my only problems with this story is the facts about Charlotte's mother which seem to have been omitted from the story but we're meant to know them anyway (or maybe I didn't pay enough attention LOL), but I won't give it away for you! (Just know you have to pay close attention!)

I highly reccomend this book! 4 stars!

Free music? I think so!

Looking for some new tunes? Look no further!! 
Check here: http://www.freejamiegrace.com/ for a good song.
And watch your fave genre's on Amazon for new songs, from new artitsts, and maybe from your favorite artitsts. 
Also check out guvera.com which has some good music from many main stream artists for free. ( Yes it IS legal. Companies pay for the music and you find out about them.. they hope!)

4 - 3 = 1 clueless reader

I picked this book up, not realizing that it was the last of a 4 part series. I picked it up and tried to read it, but honestly I couldn't understand most of it. Even though I read the Prologue which explained what had happened before, I just couldn't understand what was going on. I enjoy fantasy novels, and usually I read through them in a couple days, however, The Ale Boy's Feast was just over my head. The story moves slowly and doesn't stay on the same character at all, so just as I got into, understood, and liked a character, the chapter would finish and it would be about a different character. I finally gave up reading this all together. Maybe one day I will pick it up, read it and find it is a beautiful story, which I don't doubt, but so far it doesn't appeal to me. Too much jumping from character to character, very long chapters, and weird made up words that mean nothing to me aren't up my alley I guess. (don't get me wrong, made up words aren't bad... just not when they don't have clear explanations)
If you have already read the 3 other books in the Auralia Thread and enjoyed them, I would suggest reading this book though.

JC Penney Biggest Sale

Heads up! JC Penney's 'Biggest Sale' is actually really good(and big). I popped by today.. and although I spent about 20 minutes waiting for a dressing room and another 15 or so in line ( the lady in front of my was buying about 30 pairs of jeans) it was definetly worth it. I came out of there with a shirt, a pair of jeans, and a skirt and I only paid 1.17. Jeans were on clearance for 2.97 and they had soo much on sale in store and they have some great coupons out too. Like this one for $10 off $25: http://f.jcpenneyem.com/i/2/95827765/welcomemain.html?
Or if you're on the JCP mailing list, you should have recieved a $10 off $10 in the mail.
Let me know what deal YOU find!!
