I read the book Bella which is the retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I didn't really like the book, it was weird and a little to different. I mean I get it's a retelling and all but it's just that the Beauty met the the Beast and it was just awkward, there was know chemistry, no connection with each other.

In Vanity Fair, the way people act makes me think about if thats how they actted in 1800's. They were so driven by money and power. I can't feel bad for the characters because you know it's not going to end well for them. I watched the trailer for the movie that based on the book which I'm about 150 pages in to it out of 700 something, but the movie looks really good! I want to finish the book frist before I go and get the movie.

Again I'm still reading Vanity Fair, what a hard book! I feel like I read for ever and only get ten pages done...it's kinda of frustrating! But I do really like it, how all the characters are intertwined and how the silliest thing can make people change. It makes me really like that we don't live in a socsity like this, that how other people think and feel could change the way we live.

I started reading the book Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray. The reason I picked up this book was because my friend was reading it and said it was one of her all time reads, so I picked it up. The book was written in 1847 so it's harder to read with the different style of English. There is also a lot a French culture in the book that I'm not very familer with but it has footnotes in the back of the book which go into a little detaile about what they are talkking about. So far I'm likeing the book very much
