Final Post

Okay! This is my final post on this blog. As listed I read about 30 hours, but I probably read a LOT more than that but I just estimated my time cause I just didn't really keep track of time and I read A LOT. The books that I read during the past 3 months are...
1. The Secret Life of Bees
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3. Flowers in the Attic
4. Cindy Ella
5. Let it Snow
6. The Year my Sister Got Lucky
7. Matters of Faith
8. Love, Meg
9. Klepto: A Novel
10. 3 Willows
11. Girl at Sea
12. Michael Phelps book
13. Gender Blender
14. Hannah Grace
So I read a lot more than 30 hours...probably about 50-65 total!!! As you can see I already read a lot. I don't have to be told to read as an assignment, I just read anyways!!! Cause I really enjoy reading it is just kinda relaxing. I read all the time right before I go to bed, cause it just relaxs me and helps me go to bed easier.
I actually really did not mind this project at all. I would recommend it for future classes. I think it helped me think about what I read as I would tell about it on my blog!!!

Spring Break

So over spring break, I read quite a bit, seeing that I had some very long car rides. I read a book about Michael Phelps, which was very intresting. I am a big fan of his and could really careless about his drug thing...but w/e. And then I read this book called Hannah Grace, which was AMAZING. I don't feel like elaborating on them right now...so I won't... But I read a lot...especially on saturday, we drove 750 miles that day!!! So i finished about 1.5 books!!! It was great! I hope you all had a GREAT spring break, cause I sure did. I went to St. Louis went up the arch, sunbathed in texas at this huge house with a pool in the back, got my picture taken with some pretty sweet mexicans, and just had fun relaxing!!! It was a GREAT time!!!

Blogging during Spring break

So, i hope you will read this soon. So over spring break, I will be on vacation all week. I will be leaving school right after 6th block on Friday (sorry Mr. Strusz, I AM going to be missing your class...)so I better not have an assignment 7th block...that would be real nice because i will not have to do any homework while I am on vaca (vacation...if you didn't get that, my sister didn't know what that meant) I will be gone from Friday, March 13 after 6th block until Sunday, March 22 at night. Seeing that I will be gone, I will not have anytime to blog and will probably not have access to a computer...well I may, but I may just not feel like blogging while I'm in Texas. Did I forget to mention that? O yeah!! while all you people are sitting here in the coldness of Wisconsin I will be on my way to Dallas, Texas. On the way down we are going to be going to the Abe Lincoln Museum (I don't want to go), the Arch, and the museum in Oklahoma City with the chairs from the building that blew up. I would really like you to consider to move the date for the LAST blogging assignment to a little bit later date, even just until Tuesday or Wednesday, because then I would have enough time to blog and not have to worry about failing my LAST one. I am sure this is the case for many other people going on vacation too. So, please Just Listen (hey! that's a book!) to my request so that I won't get a failing grade!!!
Thank you!!
Have a nice spring break!

3 willows

This book is by one of my favorite authors, Ann Brashares. She wrote the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books, which were eventually turned into movies. The movies were not that great, but I still enjoyed them. This book has the same kind of idea, just not with traveling pants. 3 friends are separted for the summer and it tells the story about what happened to them during the summer. Some of the girls from the sisterhood pants books are actually brought up to. There are basically all of these connections in the book between this new sisterhood and the old sisterhood. I thought it was really good. Not as good as her other books, but it was decent. The girls make new friends and then conflicts arise as always between friends.

Klepto: a novel

This book was very intresting. It was about this girl named Julie P. who made it into this elite private arts school in New York. She met this other girl named Julie M. who Julie P. thinks is the coolest person on earth. They become good friends and then Julie M. teaches Julie P. something, how to get away with stealing while in the store/dressing room. They wear baggy clothes and then they put on the jeans underneath the pants they are wearing or they just roll up the shirts and hide them in the big bag. They also cut all of the tags off of the clothes so no one would notice. They keep on doing this for awhile, but then...Julie P. started feeling really guilty for everything she had taken. She kept trying not to steal stuff, but that was not possible, she was addicted to it. What finally made her stop was when she, Julie M, and another friend got caught shoplifting at Macy's. Julie P. started seeing a therapist about how to stop doing this addiction to shoplifting that she had. She told her mom and promised never to do it again. She really kept this promise and by the end of the book she had stopped her addiction. I thought this book was weird, but kind of intresting at the same time. Let's just put it this way, it wasn't good enough for me to read the book again. The Twilight books, Harry Potter books, and select single novels are good enough to read again. But not this one.

Love, Meg

This book was about a girl named Meg who moved around a lot with her so called "sister" Lucie. Lucie is the only family she has...or so she thinks she knows. She had just moved to Hollywood and was finally settling in when she finds out that Lucie is actually her mother and that she has a grandmother and uncle in New York. Meg goes to New York to visit her family and to find her father. She makes great friends in New York. She even gets a to die for boyfriend. She finds her father, but doesn't tell him right away that it is her. Later on she tells him and she has no knowledge of her or her mother. She ends up going back to Hollywood by her sister/mother and her boyfriend comes out there for college. It was a very good book. It could have been better, but I thought it was good.
