The Slow Progression of Necessary Appearances

I decided to post twice today for one reason. I was sitting out in the sun today for the first time in a few months. It's been raining for almost 2 weeks straight, so the sudden burst of sunshine was completely and utterly welcome. 

I was sitting out there reading The Bermudez Triangle, thinking about the 16 century. My Reading teacher was explaining to us on Friday about how in Sonnet 130 by Shakespeare, Shakespeare says how his mistress's skin/breasts are dun. They're tan. Back in the 16 Century, women were supposed to have porcelain white skin. I just think it's kinda funny that in 6 centuries, society has progressed to believe that women should have all these different characteristics to be considered beautiful, having tan skin being one of them. 

Speaking of books, I am rereading The Bermudez Triangle, as mentioned above. I absolutely LOVE it. Last night, I got Sarah Dessen's Just Listen. I haven't started reading it yet, but I really really want to. It sounds so good. So, my current To Read list.....

• The Bermudez Triangle [I just need to finish it]
• Just Listen
• Wintergirls
• Speak

And many more books that I haven't discovered yet. I want to find a book of Shakespeare plays. I can act out Shakespeare! I'm such a poetry nerd. 

I promise this is the last you will here of me today. Have a great Memorial Day tomorrow!
