The Book Blurb


Inspiration can come from anywhere or from anyone. Some might find inspiration in art or music, while others might find inspiration in people. For those who get their inspiration from people, just want a novel to read that isn’t for class credit, or just enjoy reading memoirs, than Erin Zammett’s novel, My (So-Called) Normal Life is wonderful choice.
            She is a witty, passionate young woman who is just twenty-three. Her wit and passion shines through her words in this nitty, gritty and truthful novel about her life with cancer. Zammett is rarely down in the mouth about her life or her cancer nor does she have any major pity parties because of what she has been dealt. She takes a lighthearted as well as a very real approach to what she has.
            Yes, she has cancer. Yes, she has to take medicine. But, no, she does not let the cancer or the medicine stop her. She lives her life to the fullest. Zammett is an editor at Glamour Magazine as well as an advocate for cancer.
            Life gives you lemons. It is up to the individual to decide whether lemonade will be made. Erin Zammett has made lemonade from the lemons she has been given and it shows through in her book.

Life with Merlin

The other day, after watching a Merlin fan video on Youtube, I read through the comments. A few people were talking about how Merlin changed their life. There was such respect and awe for this program. Before I continue with this entry, I must share what was said in the comments of this video (You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqz7oaTyAlQ&feature=share&list=UUmmZyOotBYjOoENaUX0oI8g ): TheLovelylostsoul said:   I was wondering if you could expand on this quote and idea to make it a longer video, to show that it really DOES exist, if in our hearts if nothing else. ??????? Just something I've always wanted from my really "Merlin is my life" Merlin vidders. Just to show that the legends do go on and effect us all, because I know I've been effected by this show. More than anything else. Misshobbity wrote: I agree wholeheartedly, I have never been more affected by anything, LOTR is the closest but Merlin has captured my heart like
