Synopsis:

"I've left some clues for you.

If you want them, turn the page.

If you don't, put the book back on the shelf, please."

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a cosmic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Misfit Review:

Funny, romantic and slightly delusional. That was basically the first thought I had when I was reading the book. There were instances were I just couldn't help but laugh and at times feel like they've bummed themselves out too many times. It's probably just part of the deal.

But because of it, he seemed to be the best part of Christmas so far. I wanted to keep them all for myself.

A Rewarding Day

This post is short guys. You may consider reading it, but it's my diary, so I can rant with anything that I want. LOL!

Anyway, yesterday was one of my most productive days around the house. It's been a while since I actually swept the floors of my room. I'm incredibly lazy by nature, so cleaning is not really something I look forward to doing in an everyday basis. But with my father around, it's quite impossible not to.

So yesterday, even with a heavy heart, I cleaned the whole second floor of the house. I dunno what was more demanding but it was the most tiring day I've ever had.

BEAT!!!!

But was able to survive. And in all honesty, I found the cleaning, rewarding. It wasn't necessarily fun, but when I saw how SHINY the floor got and how symmetrical the bed got, I said to myself "Good job Jayvee. You deserve a pat on the back..." *pats back*.
