Sweet reads

Last night I finished the fourth book by Lauren Conrad, The Fame Game, and immediately got online to see when the next one was coming out. (No luck)

I'll admit I was extremely hesitant about picking up her first book L.A. Candy.
A reality tv star writing a book? Ugh.  (Of course I was more horrified by the idea of Snooki writing one)
Not that I didn't like Lauren. On The Hills (another thing I was hesitant about especially since it aired during my f*ck the mainstream days) she was by far my favorite.
I adored her and every thing she did and screamed at her when she turned down an opportunity to go to Paris. She was like a big sister in my head.

Anyway, I was looking for a fun summer read when I came across a picture of her book on Tumblr.
What the Heck? I thought and headed down to my public library taking out all four books.

The first few chapters of L.A. Candy were unimpressive. Still it helped achieve the out of my own mind experience I was looking for so I kept reading.
By the middle of the book I was hooked. I HAD to know what happened next and who the characters in the book were created after in The Hills series. (I have my theories)
The books got better as I went through the L.A.Candy series and began The Fame Game series. Better written, better story line and better drama!
Just what I needed ;)
These books are definitely my new guilty pleasure.

If you have not read the series and plan to then do not read the rest as I will ruin it for you!!!!!!

My favorite character in the books now that I'm all caught up is Madison.
I know, I know she's a mega bitch and I loathed her at first too but as soon as the truth about her past came out I felt that I related to her the most.
When someone grows up the way she did it is completely understandable that you would become hard and self serving. The girl did what she had to do.

In The Fame Game when her father appears and she begins to soften I find myself crying at certain points during the book when she's alone and just thinking about everything.
Not that her thoughts are particularly moving but it reminds me so much of my own past that I can't help it.
During the entire book I felt hesitant about her father just like she did and felt so bad for her when he ran off with that diamond necklace.
Poor girl, I can't wait to see how she handles everything in the next book and I hope her and her sister become close.

Who's your favorite character and why?

Love,
Bunny

Why I generally choose not to debate

I love a good debate.
I love talking to people with different opinions and ways of thinking.
It expands my mind and helps me see things in a different way.

However, I am always incredibly picky about who I debate with.

People become ridiculous when they're debating.
It could be anything from what the best type of toast is to the stereotypes of different races and they will pull out name calling if they think it will get their point across.

People don't know how to debate things properly.
They use idiotic points and only repeat the same one good point they made over and over again becoming smug because they think they're winning when in reality the other person is just growing tired of debating with a moron.

It is rare that I can find a person that I can debate with in a calm, intelligent and adult way.

This is why I rarely debate. I don't like falling into an infinite loop of idiocy.

Thanks for listening.

Love,
Bunny

Start your day with a positive sip!

I've gotten into the habit of starting my day with a good cup of coffee, a relaxing chant and a quick mile run.
As someone who suffers from depression I am always looking for more ways to keep my mind in a positive state.
This is why when I came across this adorable mug ($5 on sale) at Cotton On yesterday I had to have it!
"Today is going to be a great day!"
It sure is coffee mug thanks to your uplifting message!
Love,
Bunny
