Not So Grimm Tales.. and other stories

Cobb's first ever performance is called Not So Grimm Tales. It is about a Mother trying to teach her daughter the proper ways the Grimm Tales should have gone. She gives Examples with Little Red, who would like to remind you that her height in no way should represent your judgement of her character, Snow white (ME! :D), who would rather have a brain and a rally than lipstick and a tiara, and Cinderella, who is an artistic Bohemian who wants to live in a shack and bathe with 'people of the earth'. The play is at Cobb on Dec. Eleventh, at 7:00 pm.

On My Kindle-
The Lost Hero, Rick Riordan. you've got Percy still, just another storyline with new characters. Get ready to jump back into the world of Camp Half-Blood.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox, Mary E. Pearson. Futuristic and really confusing, a mystery book... kind of. Very good though, definatley a book to read twice once you learn the ending.

Beastly, Alex Flinn. Ok people, its modern-day Beauty and the Beast, will be in theatres in March 2011 with Vanessa Hudgens.Very good lessons taught, he has an amazing style of writing!

The Compound, S.A. Bodeen. Also quite awesome, Eli's family has to go under ground as a result of a nuclear blast... or so his father tells him. Twisting, but not hard to follow. Literally did not put it down for six hours.

The Maze Runner, James Dashner. I don't know if this is a series or what, but I don't reccomend it until the next one comes out. Very hard to comprehend. don't get me wrong, its good, but he did a terrible job ending it if it isn't a series.

And of course, Mockingjay, but really, it's not the best one. I didn't enjoy the ending (partly because I am on Team Gale, partly because she changed personalities). I don't want to give it away though. Book spoiler- Katniss narrates. I don't know where the whole 'Peeta is going to narrrate' rumor came from, but its untrue.

Later, dudes!
