I have been down right dying for this book! Well it was so worth it. Anne teaches her last days of being unmarried.For she is engaged the Gilbert Blythe an old enemy turned friend, well husband really. At first Anne has trouble getting a lot of the town on her side. There is this clan called the Pringles who had a member go for Anne's job but failed. But somehow by reading a diary to share history with them it said that a dead respected member was a cannibal to survive. She won that battle. Then there was this teacher who wants Anne's job. She is a cold, witch, anti social type of person. But by taking her to the Green Gables she finds out of her horrible past. Another part she was walking down with a friend down an old forgotten road. there was a farm and there was a boy and they took a picture of him. 3 weeks later the boy died. So they gave the photo to his father.

Little Women II
Well Little Women has been a very good read. I love the juicy stuff!!! So I will tell you where all the girls are and what I think of it. This is the order that the girls got married in. But before that let me say that I am very very very very very very very very very very very very MAD that BETH DIES!!!!!!! She doesn't deserve that punishment. She was the sweet one. But any who Meg the eldest marries John Brooke and they have twins. A very successful couple by the way. You can really learn true love from these types of books. Amy marries Teddy! Teddy should married Jo but she turned him down. Bad Jo he was your true true love. Amy and Teddy have I think 1 kid and it's a girl named Beth. wonder where that came from?! Jo marries an old Professor named Professor Bhar. He is German and he and Jo run a school to shape bad boys into gentleman. They have had 5 BOYS! I wonder if they talked about having kids then. Because I know how their made but they never discuss of them like they do now. I feel like it is this very big secret. I don't like it! That is the only issue with these old books they don't get juicy so I still read current day books!

Little Women
I hate with a fiery passion blogging before you are done, but Little Women is I can't even start to describe the master piece Louisa May Alcott has woven and I am only on page 90. I think this book will kick Anne of the Green Gables butt to 2ND place while Heidi will remain one behind A.G.G. (Anne of the Green Gables) There are four sisters. Here is the order they are born don't ask me how old. Meg is very prim and proper and wishes for silk and nice things. Jo is a total tomboy but befriends the Lawrence Boy who lives with his grandfather but is very lonely. Beth is quiet and very tidy but music is her pure talent especially the piano. Amy is a very selfish girl who adores the spotlight and is trying to find her special talent. I will update as often as I can, Until then read to your little hearts desire.

My Sister's Keeper
Anna is a 13 year-old-girl who has a sister with cancer. She sues her parents so she can have medical rights. The whole story shows how everyone is feeling about everything.
I cried for a hour after reading this book. The fear that if one thing goes wrong she could die. When my Mom had cancer I felt the floor give way and let me fall down to a bottomless pit. I am still climbing out. Even hers couldn't kill her just having it scared me. I lost all control or my life, everything I did she controlled. Anna wants to have a normal life but can't without having the title " her sister has cancer" It's not like I don't want her here I just want the title to leave me alone.

Cross my heart and hope to spy
Cammie is a Sophomore at Gallagher Academy for girls. Well a top secret school for female spies. Cammie's mom is the headmaster as the Gallagher Girls go into their second semester. Recently Cammie had a relationship with a local both while on a Co Ops mission. So she wants a new start but when 15 boys attend Gallagher for a semester, she feels like she is back to the starting line.
Cammie wants a fresh new start. I have craved for that. Everyone doesn't know your past unless you tell them. You have learned from your mistake and use it to make you a better person. I have a feeling Cammie would have wanted to escape with a new id and be normal. But sadly once a spy always a spy.

Song of the Sparrow
In the time of King Aurthur a girl named Elane lives in a war camp with her brothers and father because her mother fell to foe troops. Elane sews the clothes and heels the wounded men with herbs.
The camp is rows of make shift tents. I see an ocean of white sails across a field of grass. A stench of cow patties that is inescapable. Joyous men the size barbarians. Men clashing swords preparing for battle. Officers bickering over battle strategies. Grass not green but the color of mud. Targets more holy than people on earth.

Tuck Everlasting
Tuck Everlasting is about a girl named Winnie who lives in a house with a fence all around. She doesn't have any freedom outside of the fenced area. One day she makes up her mind to discover the wood her family owns but they never explore. So she runs away to explore and then come at night. While discovering oh wonderful the wood is she finds a young boy drinking from an underground spring. His family has looked the same for 87 years! The spring in the wood is a youth spring. When Winnie discovers the spring of youth the Tuckers (Family of Youth) take her to explain the foutian.
"For the wood was full of light, entirely different from the light she was used to. It was green and amber and alive, quivering in sploctches on the padded ground, fanning into sturdy stripes between the tree trunks. There were little flowers she did not recognize, white and the palest blue; and endless, tangled vines; and here and there a fallen log, half rotted but soft with patches of sweet green-velvet moss." When I read this quote I felt the muggy warm breeze blocked by sturdy marron trees. Moss feeling like the foam they sell on T.V. fresh from th package and only stay that way for the first fifteen minutes. Flowers so tiny to touch them theymight break. Grass blades that are best for blowing but taste like earth. Logs of hollow old trees that make the best shelters to escape the rain. Vines weaving on trees desprite to reach the sun. Some vines have held on the logs for decades.

Wicked Lovely
This is a story of love, betrayal, and fey. Aislinn is an orphan who lives with her Grandmother who see fairies or fey. She is the chosen one who all the fey think is their queen. The Summer King Keenan tries to get her to love him. He has no success because the Winter Girl Donia is doing her job so Aislinn does not fall in love with Keenan. Well that and he is a total jerk to Aislinn but she already as a beau I mean best friend Seth who she becomes romantically linked with when Keenan really wants her. When the rules start to fall apart Aislinn has lost her mortality but she can either be his queen or a summer fey?
While reading this book i couldn't see this happening in real life but it does. All I could picture is the wings of the fairy. I see the wings representing their personality. For those who protect should have a very pointy wing and sword design on it. Fey that are nasty should have wings broken in spots with skulls and cross bones that have eyes that looks through souls. Fey that have a bubbly personality would have wings curved that contain flowers, hearts, smiles, suns.

Drama That is Unwanted
Well most of the time i would love a book like this if the main character wasn't utterly painful read about further than the first 100 pages. Relating to her feelings is easy but i am that stupid to go to a concert and after party for a band i love when no parental unit would let. Sure I would be mad but I would watch it on you tube and seek a new favorite band which is half the fun of losing a band. This chick is nuts but i want her to fall in love with this "independent" guy named Sam Creek. Well she is going to the concert where i am right now ( page 164 f.y.i.)
But i am trying to look on the bright side that Will half screwed up. I am finding new ways to express my emotions and learning colorful ideas of getting my way. My dad will so love that! "Like most truely creative people, I loathe suburbs. Living in the suburbs is like being dead, only with cable TV and pizza delivery...Dellwood, however, was an empty stage to which I was allowed to bring my own script...I could choose whatever role I wanted-be whatever I wanted to be- and no one would know any better... I would be the source of nourishment to those starving embryonic souls who were looking for true passion and meaning in their humdurm lives. At last I could start to be the great actor Lola Cep... I think it's safe to say that no one at Deadwood High- student body and staff alike- had ever seen anyone quite like me." Well this passages that I combined are describing her state of mind and sort who she is. Nothing has happened yet expect her name is Mary Elizabeth Cep and prefers to be called Lola Cep. She is moving from the rocking New York (best place in the world i might add) to Dead i mean Dellwood, New Jersey it's a boring suburb.
When i started reading I fell love but i didn't know it was a CON book. I seem to share the emotions and thoughts about life. I absolutely dislike this town and state. Nothing ever really happens that's interesting and only disney channel and what others' think seems to matter. Creativity seems to go in one ear and out the other. It is really rare to find someone really into the things I am into. We all have wishes and mine is to become someone that acts, well that's wish number 5. But to practice on any day. When you act like your character in public you see what to public likes (or if that annoying one that is fun to play). As much as have wanted to move to change me and leave the place where mockery and glossy magazines and people with just bad attitudes. I am to attached to the ocean to leave for good but i could easily if it wasn't there to clam me down in this place. I guess with every bad place you visit there is one thing that keeps things going for you until you can change your ways. For Lola it is the empty stage for me it is the ocean. But in some freaky way that was connected (don't ask me again read with an open mind)

Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls (Moving Day)
" I like rules. What I'm not so crazy about is everything else." It is a book based for 4th and 5th graders but i never had read it before and well i was in between books. Allie's parents are moving to a creepy old house to test their skills. Even though it is 30 minutes away. Allie seems to lose all the friends she has at her old school before she meets the new. But in the end she becomes a town animal rights activist. A new room, new friends, new kitten. What more could she want more.
After reading this book I felt two things, 1. immature 2. How it must stink for all the kids in the world having friends in your town and you feel comfy there but Mom and Dad make the decision to move away. I remember how hard it was to move away at 4. I can't imagine moving away at 10! Losing friends, a house, and being able to do certain things. But on the bright side most parents always give kids a special girt to them. For instance Allie got a kitten I got a barbie doll.

The Last Olympian
This is a continued post from Off to a great start! The Last Olympian was breath taking. I was unable to put it down. Mount Olympus is under attack and it looks might win. In all Seriousness I thought I the titans were going to win. Olympus is falling and the gods can't protect it because they are trying to stop the worst monster in history. Camp Half Blood sees that New York's Manhattan is in terrible danger. So everyone in camp goes expect Ares's Cabin because well Apollo put them over the edge at the worst time you could think of. But the hunter's of Artemis help out for the loss of a stubborn cabin. Also nature spirits help out two. so we have an arm of 75 while the over side has number's of HUNDREDS. You see my point. Well it gets worse, Percy's dad has to fight an old sea god so it is really good to say cemeteries and life insurance for the gods must be amazing to be in right now. But they will soon go bankrupt because Mt. Olympus wins. To celebrate their incredible Annabeth gives Percy a kiss. But out of no where all the other campers throw them into lake but Percy makes a bubble of air and they share a sweet under water kiss.
Off to Great Start
I am done with the Percy Jackson series. The last two books were the most addicting i have ever read.
In the Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth leads her first quest. She has to go into a maze made by Daedalus. Luke and his troops are using the Labyrinth to destroy Camp Half Blood. Going through the Labyrinth is very difficult. But with the help of Rachel Dare a mortal who can see the mist helps them find there way to Daedalus's workshop. The find themselves on a ranch. But percy has to clean out some horse scat, stop an evil rancher, convince Nico to stay at Camp Half Blood, stop an evil giant brother, stop Luke, stop Kronos, help a daughter of Alas, and he gets a suprise visit from his father. Just one average day in demigod's life. What was going through my head was who is going to die. Because the prophecy said someone will be dead at the end. I thought some random half blood would die while helping them.
