  4. Leah,

    Lol yeah the letter at the end of each post is basically the initial of our first names. I might put that somewhere on the about me just in case people get confused lol.

    That would be great if you find out more movies and let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

  6. Hey Leah!
    I am about 70 pages into Jurassic Park and so far it is really great. I love the movie and while I am reading it, I am basically picturing the movie in my mind, and so far everything is the same as the book! Which is great! Since the movie was so good, in my opinion.
    I hope you get to read it soon! And let me know what you think of it! :)

    Have a great day!
    -A.

    ps. sorry about the name confusion to anyone that was confused. haha.
    Basically its:

    B = Briana
    A = Arielle
    M = Marisa

    :)

  8. Kaitlyn,

    I thought something looked funny haha. I really want to read If I Stay, I've heard good and bad things about it. I also heard that Catherine Hardwicke is directing it which is cool.
