Chapter 13: Waterfall

Well, most of my grades are out by this point, and they went well! To celebrate: more Tiger's Curse . Last time, I had to issue a correction about the new character showing up. He actually shows up in the next chapter after this one. So I was close, but missed it by a couple of chapters. I can't wait until he shows up. This is another pretty pointless chapter. Kelsey and Mr. Kadam have another conversation, and then Ren and Kelsey go back into the jungle to wait for more stuff to happen, and then it ends. See you in the next chapter! Okay, fine, I'll get deeper into this one. But, really, nothing happens. Chapter Thirteen: Waterfall Kelsey wakes up to find a backpack already packed for her once again, and a note from Mr. Kadam telling her that she should pack for a couple of days of travel. Also that she should bring a swimsuit. It looks like they're going traveling again. I'm not sure how long they've been back at Ren's house, but I think it'...

Moon People, Part II: Putting a Sexy Smile on My Face

Hello!  *Looks at calender* Uh, sorry for the long delay in posting. I now emerge from my finals cocoon, ready to completely forget everything I just spent all semester learning. And what better way to do that than read some more of my new favorite book,  Moon People ? In the last installment of  Moon People , we started our dive into author Dale M. Courtney's incoherent ramblings and inability to understand what a paragraph is.  He also seems to think that an introduction is supposed to explain the entire plot, which makes no sense. Well, one of the things we didn't get to touch on last time is that sweet, sweet dialogue.  Now I've made fun of Houck's dialogue in the  Tiger's Curse  series, and I'm not exactly the best at writing dialogue myself, but at least Houck and I know how quotation marks work. Before I get started with the book itself, I did some sleuthing about who the hell Dale M. Courtney is, and I stumbled across his Facebook page. O...

Chapter 2: Wushu

Image
Welcome back to our irregularly scheduled nonsense! Last time, Kelsey got a house and a car and a full ride scholarship to her dream school and a full bank account so that she never has to worry about living expenses ever again. But we're supposed to feel bad for her because she broke up with Ren, and she's so sad :( That's pretty much all that happened. This chapter, Kelsey starts college. And meets some additional love interests. Yes, that was plural. Chapter Two: Wushu A couple of days later, the fall terms starts, which I guess gives us a better idea of the timeline of the first book. And also has the side effect of making Kelsey's secret college admissions just that much more sketch. She doesn't seem too worried about most of her classes, because she can just write about what she learned in India while curse-breaking over the summer. We don't get to hear about what she does in class, though! She just says that she studies hard and sees Sarah a...
