Something To Blog About

Libby Fawcett decides to start a secret blog so that she can have somewhere private to write down her feelings and frustrations. Writing makes your hand hurt way too much. When Seth Jacobs (her crush since eighth grade) witnesses her tragic (and comic) run-in with a Bunsen burner in chemistry class, or when she finds out that her mother is dating the father of her arch-nemesis, Angel Rivera, she's able to keep a level head and make it through school each day with each blog posting. She posts about everything. Her feelings for Seth, how her cousin is crushing on her BFF, and how evil Angel is. But when her entries get posted all over for the whole world to see, will Libby be able to walk the halls or have any friends left?

You've gotta figure this out for yourself. 
This book was similar to one of my all time favorite books, Click Here, to find out How I Survived Seventh Grade.  
But that was better.
This book is what I have read before, and this is not really an original idea. I have seen it before, and will see it again.
I give this book 2.5 out of 5 stars.

13 Little Blue Envelopes

When Ginny receives thirteen little blue envelopes and instructions to buy a plane ticket to London from her dead aunt, she knows something exciting is going to happen. But what she doesn't know is that she will have the adventure of her life and it will change her in more ways than one. Ginny gets to travel all over, in places I would dream of, like Paris, Rome, Italy, and even more places. She makes many friends, and sometimes has to leave them behind. Ginny also meets some not so nice people, who trick her, and go figure, Ginny galls for it.  Life and love are waiting for her across the Atlantic, and the thirteen little blue envelopes are the key to finding them in this funny, romantic novel.

The Life and Crimes of Bernetta Wallflower

Bernetta Wallflower is having the worst summer on record. After her ex-best friend, Ashley, frames her for running a school-wide cheating ring, Bernetta can't convince anyone that she's innocent. Her parents ground her until her tonsils grow back, and she's not even allowed to go to her father's magic club, Trunk Number Eight, where she performs every Saturday as a magician's assistant. But what's most terrible of all is that Mount Olive, the private school Bernetta has attended since kindergarten, has decided to take away her scholarship for seventh grade. If Bernetta wants to return to school, she'll need to find $9,000 in only three months. It seems hopeless . . . until Bernetta cooks up with a plan that involves a lot of lying, a little bit of trickery, and a mysterious stranger with chocolate-brown eyes.
This is a great story about loosing you footing, but finding your way back up.
Read this... Please!!!

Out of My Mind

Melody is 11 years old, and has never spoken a single word in her life. Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school - but no one knows it. Most people - her teachers and doctors included - don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again.If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows... but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write.
Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind - that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice... but not everyone around her is ready to hear it. 
Get ready to meet a girl whose voice you'll never, ever forget.

Hello?????

TTYL

Heeey! Jellybeans here, enjoying another summer day.What should I do? Maybe have a water balloon fight? Nah, that was an epic fail last time..... Make a smoothie? I don't think so... I'll end up blowing up the house. OH OH!!! I KNOW!!! I should clean my room! Keep dreaming... Not gonna happen in a million years. HA.
Ok well since it is summer, Jellybeans is reading a lot. I just read TTYL. It is about 3 15 year old girls, and feelings, plans, and day-to-day experiences, taking shape in IM form. This book was really interesting, with all these weird, interesting, unexpected events happening to them as they start the tenth grade. These include wanting to take a road trip, or sweet food emergencies. But that is nowhere near how much happens. This detailed book is a large entertainer. I couldn't put the book down!
Don't foget to read the Sequel, TTFN, and L8r G8r. Also a do it your self book, BFF.
These were really great books, 4.5 out of 5 stars. Jellybeans is out.

And her little daughter Prissy, cute, yet highly annoying. And Spoiled. But STB acts wonderful around Dad, and turns devil when we are alone. Ugh! After some convincing, Miri and I come up with some ideas, soon to get Dad to hate STB and break off the wedding! But do they work? Nooooo. What now? And, I am kinda obsessive over Raf, this adorable boy! He is in our school fashion show, and I got Miri to put a dancing spell on me to make me fab!

Umbrella Summer

Well, no one has posted in like 2 weeks so I shall post about a book I read yesterday. Umbrella Summer by Lisa Graff is about 10 year-old Annie Richards, a girl who knows that there are a ton of things to look out for-food poisoning, car crashes, chicken pox, etc. Being careful is something very important to her, even if she has to give up some of the things she used to love like bicycle races, hot dogs, and obsticle courses. Everyone keeps telling her not to be as careful as she is and that she is just fine, but that's what people said about Annie's brother, Jared, before he died. A new neighbor moves in across the street and through ups and downs in Annie's world, she realizes she has to do as her neighbor tells her to-she must "close her umbrella".
