Luv Ya Bunches

Jellybeans here. I have just finished reading a book called Luv Ya Bunches, by Lauren Myracle. Luv Ya Bunches is about 4 "flowers" working together to help themselves, and others. A spectacular tumble made by Milla makes her lose her precious contents of her bag, and Tally the Turtle (which was not retrieved), a lucky bobblehead, suddenly is in the middle of a scheme to ruin Milla. But with the help of her other flower friend, will Milla be able to get Tally back and teach a lesson? Check this book out for the exciting answers. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Hola... With a Book on the side

Hello! I will be your waitress, er reviewer, my name is Anna.

Our special today is maximum ride, prepared by our chef, um author, James Patterson.

I'll leave you to look at the menus, *cough, cough* I mean book reviews.

Yes, yes, maximum ride is an exciting, action packed novel about a group of kids who are 98%... Some people might say normal, but the other 2% play a big deal, they, um have wings. I feel that more people can relate to this series because each character from the flock (what they call themselves) is different.

Some may be like Max, the leader.

Or maybe you sorta keep to yourself like Fang.

Are you blind? So is Iggy.

Nudge likes to talk... The nudge channel: all nudge, all the time.

Like to blow stuff up, and you're... Gassy? Gasman

Are you, well, an angel? You're like Angel.

There are six books in the series and being a bird kid may seem to be fly, but you never know when an "Eraser" will pop up...

You'd like this book? Well here you go.


AWESOME SONG

Heeeey people lovers,
Jellybeans here, and I have an AWESOME song that you should listen to.

Kate Voegele, I think, is amazing. Her voice, her songs, everything. Please give her a chance and check out some of her music.

With help from her two best friends, Malcolm and Carolann, Lyza discovers that an old pirate treasure may be hidden under New Jersy, the place she calls home. After careful planning, they start to dig at where they think the treasure may be hidden.
