The GREAT BIG BOOK EXCHANGE!!!

For the past THREE days I've had a ton of things to write. But I couldn't...why? Becuase my dad has been going to this option trading competion that lasts from like 6 p.m. all the was to about 4-5 a.m. and he had to bring the laptop so I didn't have to laptop to blog. Now, finally when the competion is over and I get to use to the laptop, guess what? I'm speechless, AGAIN!!!



I don't think that I shpould label this post as 'speechless pt 3' so I'm leaving it untitled until I can think of an title...



Today, actually yesterday...but then it was after 12...ok, no one cares about this stuff. As long as you know that I just read a book it's cool.

Following the death of his parents Simon, a shy 16-year-old, moves into his grandparents' claustrophobic bungalow. United by their voracious appetite for novels, he and his grandmother stumble across the THE GREAT BIG BOOK EXCHANGE a bookshop with a difference. There they meet impulsive gothic Kelly and her boss, Terrance-and their friendships forged in the GREAT BIG BOOK EXCHANGE resulting in a startling and and unsettling consequence for them all.



OK. I obviously didn't write that. Because of the big words that I would never use.

Anyway, the story is really nice. The GREAT BIG BOOK EXCHANGE sounds super cool. I wish that there was a place like that. But well, there isn't.

I guess I don't really have anything to write. I think that next time when I can think of something to write I should write it down then copy it into this blog. But oh well...whatever!

I guess I don't really have anything else to say so um....bye!!!
