 Hey Everyone!
How are you doing today? Last night were the Academy Awards! Congratulations to all the winners! ((Especially Kathryn Bigelow who made history as the first woman to ever win Best Director!))
Last night was also the first 'official' Jonas Brothers concert of 2010 which I was blessed with the chance to attend! It was a great show, Demi Lovato was their special guest, and they even covered Keith Urban's "Somebody Like You".
Today though, I want to talk about something very serious.
Teen Pregnancy.
- Every year around 750,000 teens will get pregnant this year
- More than 2/3 of all teenagers who have a baby will not graduate high school
- Billions of dollars are spent taking care of teenage and their children and they are more likely to be in the poverty bracket

 A while back I reviewed Rachel Cohn and David Levithan's first collab novel, Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist, which was a great book. Well, the dream duo is back with Naomi And Ely's No Kiss List!

Hello all!
How are you this beautiful Monday?
First I want to convey my deepest sympathies to any and all who were affected by the earthquake in Chile. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you! UNICEF, the American Red Cross and World Vision Disaster Relief are just a few organizations that are donating their time and money to help the people of Chile (and around the world)
((Haiti still needs our help as well! Yele Haiti is my personal favorite but there are many organizations you can give to that is giving Haiti the help it needs!))
On a lighter note: the entertainment world is buzzing with excitement because the Academy Awards are this Sunday! Now you may be asking, Ariel... how exactly do the Academy Awards relate to being an advice columnist? I'll tell you how -- for 82 years we've seen hope and dreams fulfilled.

Bilbo Baggins is your average Hobbit-- a small, often plump little person with large, hairy feet, living in a quaint house in a hill in a village. He enjoys his many meals and the quiet solitude of his peaceful life. Hobbits aren't much for adventure, you know.

Hello, readers! How was everyone's Valentine's Day? I've got some more interesting stuff for you to read-- but, of course, what else would I be doing? :)
This week is about some more poetry, but I found this one quite interesting. Love, Ghosts, & Facial Hair is a novel told in a series of poems written by the characters themselves. Although the reading goes quickly in this style, the poems are cute and heartfelt, and give you great insight into the characters, more so than if you were just reading prose describing them.
