haha ya, i have been mega super busy. i have said that before but school has been a lot.


what orginally interested me actually was on the cover it has a jk rowling quote saying how good the book is.


well anyways, it starts out with this boy and a couple of friends hear about a freak show, they go and see this vampire in the show. the main character must get turned into a vampire in order to get a cure for his best friend who gets bit by the vampires deadly spider. he then has to fake his death and live with the vampire in order to learn how to live, and they end up join up with the freak show. that's what has happened so far but im only on book 3 out of twelve.

Is it depressing? That sounds sad. Maybe I'll give it a try. I'm currently rereads the entire Potter series, and I have the books to read piling up. I wish we had enough time in life to read all of the books that we want to read.

well it's sad for part because he has to leave his family and friends in order to save his best friend, but other than that it's not too sad.
