Happy May Day everybody! Well, I guess that was yesterday. But, still. Happy May Day!
SO, some book reccomendations. I've been a bit lacking in these, and all other posts lately. Sorry about that! Track is coming towards the championships (JV for me) and I've had a lot of homework. But, as always, I still find time to read.
One book I'm currently reading is The House of the Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer. It's about a clone, Matteo Alacran, who's a copy of El Patron, a dangerous powerful drug lord who practically owns Opium, a country which takes up the land between the US and what used to be Mexico. He must come to grips with what it means to be a clone, and the danger he is in. Will he be able to escape and save himself? I don't know. I haven't finished the book yet. But I really hope so. If you like science fiction, action, or mysteries, and don't mind a little horror or weird science, this is a great book, and written really well.
And to leave you with a poem I wrote for English, on a subject close to my heart:
Butterscotch
Reminds me of days spent
Watching the mixer
Turning the amber
Dough
Waiting for the ding
Of the timer
Tasting the
Gold
Hot
Treasure
Of Sunday afternoons
Hope you enjoyed that. I'll be back soon, with more of the same. And some of the different. Just to mix it up a little. :)

Hey Lauren! I've put a link to your blog in my "friends and family" section. You're such a great writer, you've got great style AND flow--seriously, well done! Can I hire you to write a few term papers for me? Kidding! (sort of...) Anyways, I look forward to keeping up with your adventures. Just wish I had time to take you up on some of your book recommendations...
