Ok so the Bhagavad Gita isn’t on Rory’s book list. However, it has been mentioned on the show enough to make me curious. Plus, I was once again procrastinating finishing “David Cooperfield”. The implication that I got from the show was that the Bhagavad Gita would be difficult to read or understand. Granted, the fact that it was translated from Sanskrit & was written around 150 B.C., could give that implication.

However, I found this extremely easy to read. Did I understand all of it? Nope. What I did understand I liked & I thought there were a lot of really good lessons. So the Bhagavad Gita, not as difficult to read as I thought.

I went shopping at the mall & was thrilled when I saw these three Roryesque jackets for only $5. Apparently, the Rory look is out. So I eagerly bought them, got them home, & decided there was a reason that they were on sale. Only Rory would know how to wear these. Only Rory would be able to look like she hadn’t shrunk her clothes in the wash. I love these jackets, I just don’t know how to wear them.

One of the requirements to being a wannabe princess is that you have to be a little obsessed with the story of Anastasia. Since I am a wannabe princess, I enjoyed reading “The Kitchen Boy” by Robert Alexander. I’m not sure if this book is geared cowards young adults, but it was easy to read.

It follows the story of a possibly fictitious kitchen boy tracking the last days of the Romanov’s. I think if you’ve studied the Romanov’s extensively (In other words, if you are a good princess), this book would be a little elementary. It was difficult to discern fact from fiction, as the author intermingled a lot of both. However, I’m a good princess, so I give it four pop tarts.

“A Quiet Storm” by Rachel Howzell Hall is the story of what happens when a family ignores, or covers up for, mental illness. This book is extremely sad, but at the same time it’s beautifully poignant. It’s the definition of poignant. Hold on, let me go look up the definition of poignant to make sure I got that right. Yup, this book is definitely poignant.
