Book Haul! Yay!

My first book haul ever. So, if you don't know what a book haul is i'm going to explain it. A book haul is when a book reviewer picks up some books to read during the month (or the months) and presents them to it's followers. So my book haul is going to be, probably, for two months. I'm a slow reader, but the book I'm going to read are relativly big, so...

1. The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank's Diary) by Anne Frank (4.02 stars on Goodreads)
2. The Magic Awakening (Second Part of 'A Clash of Kings' from 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series; book 4) by George R.R. Martin (4.49 stars on Goodreads)
3. The Fellowship of the Ring (from 'The Lord of the Rings' series; book 1) by J.R.R. Tolkien (4.20 stars on Goodreads)
4. Alex 9, The Sword Keeper (from 'Alex 9' series; book 1) by Martin S. Braun (3.71 stars on Goodreads)
5. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (3.93 stars on Goodreads)

NOTES:
1. I already read 'The Diary of a Young Girl) by Anne Frank and I'm going to review it soon.
2. Here in Portugal (where I live) they split each book from 'A Song of Ice and Fire' into two books. Which means that 'A Game of Thrones' here is 'A Game of Thrones' and 'The Ice Wall'. 'A Clash of Kings' here is 'A Clash of Kings' and 'The Magic Awakening'. That's why this book is number four here, but number two in the UK or the US or any other country that was smart enough to keep the book like it's supposed to be -.-'
3. I know that everyone has read this book, but not me. I'm living under a rock. At least I already read the Harry Potter series. But not the Hunger Games...
4. This is a portuguese book, which means that it's not published in english. It's a childrens book but I want to read it.
5. A classic, of course. I will try to read a classic each month and this month we have 'A Christmas Carol' and 'The DIary of a Young Girl' (I consider it a classic). This is a very small book, so it'll take me like, half an hour or something.

Writing n' Stuff

As you probably have noticed from the title, I'm really addicted to Ghosts n' Stuff by Deadmau5 and I have no idea why. i reguraly listen to Pop music and I don't even have a clue why I'm listening to Deadmau5. Other thing you probably thought when reading the title was that this post was about writing.
And it is...
Here is my confession: I love to write. I write during classes, I write when I'm home, I write when I'm trying to sleep. I started writting perhaps 400 books but never finished. And here's why:
-the stories are to similar to other books (like Harry Potter)
-i had another great idea wile writting this "book"
-i realize it's crap and it won't work
But finally, after five years of writting, i wrote a book. Yes, I did it! It was for a contest in my country were you wrote a book and you could become a published author (still waiting for the results). But... this book is crappy. I know it is. It's very bad written. But I wrote it, so I'm glad. It's called "The Golden Crown" and I won't give much information. It has 135 pages long, many twists, many wars, many deaths. And now I'm working on another book! Hope this one works out to be awesome!
