How NOT to be popular

I decided to read this as one of my independent

reading books because when i was looking in the library,

it looked like a good book because of the cover . It

looked funny and i like to laugh when i read :] This book

is by Jennifer Ziegler and its about this girl that has

parents that travel a LOT , and they dont even realize

the toll its taking on their own daughter ! And when she

just recently moved , she left behind a very good friend

she made and a boyfriend too ! (which they broke up

less than a week after she left . It was very tough for her

and she decided she never wanted to go through that

again , so her solution for that was simple . Do not make

friends at the new place they are going to move to !

They ended up moving to Austin , Texas . I am not going

to give away the plot or even the conclusion , but it takes

a lot more effort than she thought to be... well...

UNpopular ! haha :] Usually when i find a good book, i

tend to read it in a short amount of time, and i read this

book in like two days ! its crazyy ! so yeah, i would

definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs

to get caught up on blogs or just likes a fun read? idkk

what else to say hahhaha.

A million little pieces

I'm reading the book A Million Little Pieces for my

independent reading book. Im not that far into it, but one thing i

really noticed i liked was the format or layout or whatever you

want to call it. Its really different. Instead of using quotation marks

and that kind of thing, they just go to the next line to show a new

the next person is talking. Its very interesting. Sometimes it gets

kind of confusing but i like it.

Im starting to get to book a little more everytime i read it cause

the book is a little confusing. So far, what i have is that a guy goes

to his hometown after being in war, and he checks into rehab. And

at rehab it is very difficult for him to think straight after being on

so many different drugs for so long. I may be way off, but that is

what i've gotten out of the book so far.

The reason i started reading this book was because i had seen a

couple of friends reading it and it looked interesting so i decided to

pick up my own copy ! hahahah :] It also had a cool looking cover so

that is another reason, i guess. Im not that far into the book to

know what the cover has to do with anything but i am sure excited

to find out ! Sarah is / was reading this book and we were talking

about wether we thought this book was nonfiction or not. It seems

like it would be, because its about a guy who comes home from war

adn goes to rehab. And there is like an old time photo on the back

saying thats the guy but i dont know. But yeahh i'd prob recommend

this book. haha:]

The au pairs

I just started reading the book the au pairs. This book is by a pretty well-known author, Melissa de la cruz. I have heard of her before and have liked some of the books written by her, so she is part of the reason I decided to read this book. The other part were because some friends of mine have read this book and really liked it. They also recommended it to me. I decided to give it a try and im actually starting to like it. It is basically three different stories, that keep going back and forth between the three main characters. The first story is about a girl named Eliza who's family has been farely wealthy. She went to an all girls private school, who lived in a cottage in Amagansett and also a beachfront condo in Palm Beach. She also had a collection of name brand purses and was forced to give up all but one, sell both her homes and move to a two bedroom house and go to a Public school in a city called Buffalo. The high school she would be attending is called Herbert Hoover High. The second story is about a girl named Mara. She had to leave her boyfriend that she was really close with to apply for a job that would help a ton in paying for college tuiton and maybe a new car. The third story is about a girl named jacqui who meets a guy at the airport and decides to ditch him after seeing a glimpse of what seems to be a look alike of her ex-boyfriend who she still likes. All three girls apply for a job to be an au pair for this rich couple. They all three get the job and meet there. Read the book to see what happens to the girls and if they have a fun summer !

Herb Brooks: the inside story of a hockey mastermind.

For my non - fiction book, i decided to read a book about a famous hockey coach. I thought the cover was cool and i thought i would like it. I read through like the first 30 pages or so. It was really boring !! I mean, as much as i like hockey, i was not that big of fan of the book. This book was written by John Gilbert. He wrote this book because he was around sports his entire life, and has written books on hockey at all different levels, and he decided to write a book on Herb Brooks who had been an inspiration to him a long time. Since Herb brooks had been a player and then a coach it was easy for him to relate. I did not really take an interest to this book because It was not really written for people of my age and i have to admit, there were a lot of words i did not know and it kinda gets boring when you can not really understand !! hhahahha. At the very beginning it bored me too but i kept reading, hoping it would get better. No chance, but for sure if i was older, i would definitely like this book a lot better. But i think the cover is cool because it had an american flag in the background and a net in the front, so it basically represented american hockey:] which is like right down my alley :]]]]] I also like the puck in the net, it gives it a nice finishing touch. And the author being on the cover is cool too i guess... hahha !
