For my independent reading book this week, well i have been reading it for a couple weeks, but i just thought now to blog about it. :] haha well its this book that this guy wrote and its basically he wakes up every morning and says 'surprise me god' and then he journals about  it every day and the little surprises he notices. They were promoting this book at my church and selling it and i was like hey i should do this. It was a while ago but i just now started to read it cause it actually looked fun to read. I read a day every night before I go to bed. It is very interesting because you can really notice more stuff if you are actually looking for it. I found that it is much easier to read a book a little bit before bed every day, than trying to save it for the last second and reading for like 3 hours straight, because then you are just reading to get it over with, other than reading and trying to think about what it means or what you just read. The author/ main person of the book has a wife and 3 daughters. I would recommend this book because its really good and its easy to read if you read a little bit before bed every night. And the author of the book isn't really an author, he was a guy that made 'jingles' for companies to use for theme shows and commercials and other types of advertisement.

13 Little Blue Envelopes




For my independent reading book, I chose to read 13 Little Blue Envelopes. I am not very far into it yet, but i can tell it is going to be a good book! I wasn't going to read it until i was at the library and i saw this cute handwriting in cursive on light blue and i decided to look at it. It especially caught my eye because a couple of my Friends said i should read it because they had read it and liked it very much.
Ginger, (Ginny), found an envelope in her hands from her aunt. The note inside talked about this whole adventure her aunt had set up for her. She was only allowed to bring a backpack full of anything she needed and the rest she would have to leave up to her aunt! The first of many to come envelopes had 1000 dollars and directions on where to but plane tickets. The 2nd envelope had directions to a certain apartment in London. The 3rd tells ginny to find a person, a artist. I do not want to give it all away, because if you are interested in finding out what is in the other envelopes, read the book! I am liking it so far because i like books that are about people taking adventures and especially not knowing what they are heading into or what they are getting themselves into, it makes the book totally fun and intense!
I would definitely recommend this book to other people, to the girls, not the boys :], because it is a very fun and exciting and adventurous book!

Breaking Dawn :]



I just got done reading Breaking Dawn, which is the 4th book in the series to Twilight. When i was little i used to always be like, i am never reading those books that are really big. But look! Here i am reading all 4 books of the twilight series in practically a month! These have been by far my favorite books / series. I've been up reading really late some days because it keeps you on the edge of your seat, and you just don't know where to stop !! These books get so intense because vampires live very different live than us and their lives are filled with more drama because of the different lifestyles they have and different 'friends' they also have. It is also very thrilling because the author is very good at making you feel like your right there ! Especially in the last book, i felt like i was with the Cullen family and also out on the field with them, I was right next to Bella and her shield :]].
I was very sad after i finished breaking dawn, the last book because i realized that there probably wasnt going to be a 5th book. And i found out that i read the books so fast, i was like on a high for like a month, and then when i finished all the books, i realized i probably should have not read them so fast and enjoyed them a little bit longer!!! You know, like making my 'happiness' last longer! But i would've been so into the books, i wouldn't have been able to hold for very long !

Do you like the twilight series?
