Monthly Wrap-Up
July was busy and hot here in Michigan, one thing I can say its rained here more than Arizona during monsoon season....and my poor Red Japanese Maple is dying!!! So much for having a green thumb, if my fake fern was doomed I guess the real ones don't stand a chance ether!!
But hey lets talk books and movies....My favorite movie this month was ......Inception
Holy freak'n awesome.... I cant even write a review on it because any type of info you give away gives everything away....so I can say make sure you use the bathroom before the movie (3hrs) because if you miss one minute your totally lost and also is it just me or is Leonardo DiCaprio making the best movies or what???

Sapphique by Catherine Fisher
Book Synopsis
Finn has escaped from the terrible living Prison of Incarceron, but its memory torments him, because his brother Keiro is still inside. Outside, Claudia insists he must be king, but Finn doubts even his own identity. Is he the lost prince Giles? Or are his memories no more than another construct of his imprisonment? And can you be free if your friends are still captive? Can you be free if your world is frozen in time? Can you be free if you don't even know who you are? Inside Incarceron, has the crazy sorcerer Rix really found the Glove of Sapphique, the only man the Prison ever loved. Sapphique, whose image fires Incarceron with the desire to escape its own nature. If Keiro steals the glove, will he bring destruction to the world? Inside. Outside. All seeking freedom. Like Sapphique.........(Goodreads)
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares
Book Synopsis
Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.............(Goodreads)
