I just read Twilight/New Moon/ Eclipse and I loved them! I love series and books that really grab you.. (no literally! I love The Uglies Trilogy, Eragon/Eldest, Inkspell, A Great And Terrible Beauty, Harry Potter, Redwall, etc. Please recommend a fantasy or science fiction or a really good series or trilogy or whatever for me. I loved these books so maybe something like them.

Ridiculous,Innconvenient,Consuming.......
Cant- Live-Without-Each-Other-Love

(Also known as the big Whooperdoodle,or the most important part of this whole sloppy,thrilling,infurating,marvellous ,experience)

So this is love? As wonderous and scary and fabulous as it can be.It may have started with mere attraction,but where its ended up is somewhere deeper and truer and endlessly more fulfiling....

And despite yourself,you wil have learned a little something along the way.That euphoria doesnt have to be fleeting.That love cn survive doubt,that joyful instinct should never be repressed...........

And so you throw yourself into love Heartfirst.............

William Shakespeare - Sonnet 18
Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?

The poet I have selected is William Shakespeare. He wrote many poems and I have chosen Shall I Compare Thee Sonnet 18 .it is one of his romantic poems it shows how he wrote his sonnet in his way and how he thought love was about and how he described it. He is comparing a woman to the way he feels towards summer and how this feeling gives him life to breathe. Summer must be his favourite season, so this is why he describes his love to summer. This poem describes how love isn't a possession, but as long as men can breathe, they can live with love. Summer is lovelier and more temperate, like his love he is comparing in this poem.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
