Yesterday, 17th of October, my English teacher told us to spend her one hour class in the library. The time was spent on researching. As I was looking for a book, I saw a bookshelf twice my height and thrice my width. I opened it and a scent of crispy and new pages greeted me a warm welcome. I let my eyes wander until I saw a spine with a violent but mesmerizing title. I pulled it out from the books sandwiching it and finally saw the cover. I can’t help but judge the book by its cover because it was simple and dark and gloomy but it was empowering as if it has a spell around it. To Kill A Mockingbird it says. I borrowed it and I guess my judgment did not disappoint me. It was worth reading. Although I am not halfway to the climax, I sense that the story will be filled with valuable and nostalgic adventures. Every words I read brings back my childhood days. Ever time I read it I feel solemnity as if I am in the sleepy Southern town.

I still haven’t figured out why it is entitled in a violent way but I’m certain that the title is telling me to prepare myself with life touching lessons and the means of reality.

I was reading Cirque Du Freak: Killers Of The Dawn and I loved it!

I was really engrossed that I felt like I was in his shoes(although he, Darren Shan, is a guy, I can't help but enjoy his adventure.). The climax was... What the?! I wept. And mourn over..... Oops. I think I better not say the character's name(for not spoiling the thrill)who perished in the pit of stakes and fire. Anyway, I wept because he is Darren's mentor. He is like a father in his eighteen years of being a half-vampire. Darren can't really cry because his emotions are mixed with anger and sadness. I really felt sorry for him. *sniffs* I cried while he was mentioning his mentor's death and he even dreamed that he made it alive. Boy was I hoping too but the author still wrote that his mentor really is dead.

I can sometimes be emotional when I read a book I really feel and it showed me values. Most especially in goodbyes. This book may be grotesque and macabre but I wept because of the importance of friendship, the book's value, and how hard it may be to lose someone you love.
