Happily Never After

****SPOILER ALERT****

I'm revealing information about the movie Becoming Jane so if you haven't seen it, see it now! haha

Just a month ago I watched Becoming Jane. For as long as I can remember I've always loved Jane Austen books. They were some of my favorites, so watching the supposed movie of her life was pure joy to me. Well I always new Jane never married but as much as I like the truth I Love Happy endings. Her's is not the happiest. Happy endings do not always come to the Good-hearted.
The whole movie I knew something would go terribly wrong with the man she loved. But I figured he'd pass away which would be sad but I thought it would be tragically happy! Instead someone lead an influential uncle astray. "HOW DARE HE!" I must say that I hated, and yes I really hated, the character who ruined Jane and Tom's happiness. Everything would have been perfect and gone so well, even though they would be poor they would have been sincerely happy! But NO! some stupid guy had to get in the middle and just ruin everything. Although Jane and Tom did not blame the other for the problems that came between them they were seperated and didn't hear from or see each other for many many years. How sad to love someone so much just to torn from them due to someone else. Ok ok I know it wasn't only that guys fault. The way Tom and Jane thought also hindered things but honestly I could not forgive the injustifiable character who ruined that happily ever after. Happy endings do not always come to the good-hearted.
Well after a month of letting the character injure my thoughts I realized that there was no point to getting angry. Its all in the past, and because Jane was heartbroken she wrote the beautiful novels that I love so dearly! I suppose that through the hardest trials, those who endure become the most beautiful of all, on the inside and outside. :)

So i've decided... That I want to write a novel! Haha this will peobably take many years (and many editors to fix my mistakes) until I can publish. But just you wait! I will find a way to relay all my thoughts through stories! :D And I will make sure all my female heroines get everything they deserve and more!

Newest Book!

Haha to respond to Kristin's comment, Yes, the Goose Girl is one of Shannon Hale's books and Enna Burning is the next in the series. Well my 13 year old cousin wrote out a list of books that I should read this year! One of them being the Goose Girl! And yes I read it! :) Haha that makes the 3rd book in the past two weeks and thats amazing with all the schooling I have this semester! :) Yay! haha So I finished Goose Girl today. It is an amazing book! I think it is one of my favorites now! ;) Oh the woes of being a princess who talks to birds.... It is a fabulous book! And once I write a list of all my recommended reads this will be near the top! ;) I LOVE BOOKS! :)

BOOKS!

Wow its been way too long! Sorry all you dedicated fans! haha :p Well I've been keeping up on my reading as of late and I just finished 2 books this week and I'm starting another tonight! Can't you tell, I love books! :)

Alright the First book I read recently was titled Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. If no one has read any of her books please read Ella Enchanted first. The movie is completely different and the book truly is much better! THEN... you should read Fairest! Its really interesting! And every moment when you think the story will go one way, totally changes and it really keeps ones interest! :) [Side note: This book will probably be favored among girls, sorry guys, you can read it but I'm not so sure it would be a favorite of yours.] Its like a chick flick for a book with adventure and spells and evil mirrors and bad fairies, man eating ogres, goblins and more! :) but you boys wouldn't enjoy it ;)

The second book I recently finished is called Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. I know I know you all are thinking gee Maureen you're reading little kid books now. I would say these are more early-teen books, thank you, and It is really a good book. Like Fairest it keeps you guessing the whole way through, and it slowly unravels. Its about a girl who thinks she's too weak to do anything. She lives up in the mountains and has to overcome many trials, from a horrible tutor to a gang of bandits who try to kill her, to fully understand her life and purpose!

OK I know you again are all thinking, well Maureen really likes these girl power stories... (Trevor) But whats wrong with that I ask you? For once the prince doesn't have to save a damsel in distress, she can do it on her own! Haha alright I'm done rambling now. I suggest these books to anyone who is bored, girls and guys. But I still figure girls would like them more than boys. ;) READ ON!
