But the nightmares have started up again, and they're haunted by the ghosts of the brutally murdered loved ones, and by a crazy stalker, out to kill her. As Stacey is casting healing spells, a mysterious new student names Jacob arrives. He reveals to Stacey that he is having nightmares, just like hers, but Stacey is the one about to die. To stop the murderer, they must unite and work together. But can Stacey trust Jacob? Or will his arrival bring Stacey's darkest nightmares to life?

Winter Wonderland!!

OMG It's like Antarctica over here.
I can't see my outdoor table it's so completely covered in snow!!! ~_~
My mom, brother, and I all shoveled half of our driveway and it took us three-and-a-half hours!
I couldn't even run a comb through my hair because there was snow in my it, and then the snow froze, and then my HAIR froze.
:P I look ridiculous.
Wow, my friend called me and then she was talking to me and her friends were talking to me and I was so scared because it was so weird. :O I'm so scared. They scared me. And now they just hung up on me.
Anyway... so I have a snow day today, and TOMORROW! This is like, the awesomest thing ever!
OK, the snow is really amazing. It is really high in some places, and low in some places, and my brother and I stood on the snow covered table and jumped off into the snow and that was really great. 
I <3 SNOW (I just hate shoveling it.)

A Day in Chicago

I know that that kind of sounds like the name of a book, but it's not!
I spent a day in Chicago, and it was fully awesome.
My mom and dad took me and my brother downtown to see Yo-Yo Ma, the famous cellist. The program was supposed to start at 11 o'clock, but ended up starting at one. So, we had a few hours to kill. My mom and I decided to take the 2 mile hike down to Navy Pier, and it was totally worth it! We saw a ton of ice sculptures, including penguins, birds in TREES (birds made of ice!!! AHHHH!!!) and obelisks, and we even saw a sculpture of Medusa. It was so cool!
And then we took the 2 mile hike back. :P But it was a good hike, considering that there's so much to see in Chicago!!!
Then, we went back to the Chicago Cultural Center, and saw YO-YO MA!!! It was so cool. He is really good, and gosh, that dude is hilarious! Yo-Yo Ma is really famous, and it was a total treat to be able to see him, for FREE! I loved it, and I got a front row seat! It was really worth skipping out on Science Fair to see him. (Just kidding, I would always want to skip out on it, even though it was EC.)
I <3 CHICAGO!
I saw like, a million T-shirts that said that there. It was funny.
I love it there, and I really wish to go back again soon.

Bears vs Packers

As some might know the Packers beat the Bears 21-14 in the NFC Championship game. I watched the and noticed two things, the referees were in favor of Green Bay and the when ever the Packers didnt make a catch they would always look to the referees put there hands up as if they were just pushed to the ground and wanted a penalty. The Packers got those penalties when they did not deserve them. From here on out I call the Packers Cry Baby Packers. They deserve this nickname and I hope it sticks with them for a long time.

Blue is for Nightmares

(See, readers, told you I would blog on this!)
Stacey's junior year at her school is not easy. She isn't the most popular girl at school, or the smartest, or the prettiest. She has a crush on her BFF's BF, and an even darker secret that threatens to ruin her friendships... for good. And now she's having nightmares again. And these aren't your everyday nightmares – these dreams are too real to ignore, like she did three years ago. The last time she ignored her nightmares, a little girl she loved died. This time though, they're about Drea, her best friend who's become the victim of one seriously psycho stalker. It started with weird e-mails and these weird phone calls. Now someone's leaving Drea white lilies – the same as the death lilies that have been showing up in Stacey's dreams. Everybody thinks this is just some prank . . . until some other girl at school is brutally murdered. There are no witnesses. No one has a perfect alibi. Any one could be guilty. With everyone as suspects, Stacey turns to the one secret weapon she can trust – the magic taught to her by her grandmother. Will the magic be strong enough to expose the true killer, or will the killer make her darkest nightmares come true?


GREAT BOOK! 5/5 STARS!!

900 out of 10 stars. This book is wonderful, and by one of my favorite authors, Laurie Faria Stolarz, the bestselling author of "Blue is for Nightmares" <-- That was a great book also, I will blog on it soon!

A Summer to Die

This book was written in 1977, But it is still fresh, and interesting. I have read this book multiple times before, and every time I read it again, I can always feel the emotions. Meg, Thirteen-years-old, has always envied her sister. Her sisters beauty, her friends, her popularity. But all those emotions do not make it so easy when Molly, Meg' sister, gets sick. This isn't just the flu. This is a life-threatening situation, she just doesn't know it. Meg finds it hard to cope with all these symptoms of the strange illness, and Molly's eventual death. 
Lois Lowry really did a remarkable job with this book. It was heartfelt, and it was something she had dealt with as a child. I would definitely  recommend this book to anybody
4.7 our of 5 stars!!! 

All Shook Up

Im all shook up...   Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

WHEN 13-YEAR-OLD JOSH finds out he has to stay with his dad in Chicago for a few months, he’s not too thrilled. But when he arrives at the airport, he’s simply devastated. His father—who used to be a scatterbrained, but pretty normal, shoe salesman—has become a sideburn-wearing, hip-twisting, utterly embarrassing Elvis impersonator.

But when he arrives at the airport, he’s just devastated. His father-who used to be a scatterbrained, but pretty normal, shoe salesman—has become a sideburn-wearing, hip-twisting, embarrassing Elvis impersonator. Josh is determined to keep his dad’s identity a secret, but on his very first day at his new school, a post-it-note appears on his locker. It’s signed Elvisly Yours, and instead of a name, a sneering purple smiley face. The secret is out. And when his dad is invited to perform at a special 50s concert at his school, Josh is forced to take some major action. This is a funny book, but I know I have read better... But overall, this, from Jellybeans, would get a 7 out of 10 stars. 

 

P.S. I wanted to post my book report, but I couldn't figure out how...

Guess what/ SHUG

HEY GUESS WHAT!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?! I JUST HAD MY BIRTHDAY SO I AM AWESOME! OK... WELL... THAT WAS ME BEING HAPPY ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY. I HAD A SOCCER GAME! OK I'M DONE BEING AWESOME. 

SHUG

12 year old Annemarie Wilcox, or as her family calls her, Shug, has started to think that nothing is worse then age 12. Annemarie is pretty sure that there is nothing good or exciting about her. And now Annemarie is starting junior high, and the friends she holds dear aren't acting just so dear anymore. Especially Mark, her best friend. One day, Annemarie looks at him, and she actually sees him. Not just the boy down the street, but he is Mark, the friend. Everything is changing so fast, and Annemarie just wants it to be the same as it used to. But it's not. How is Annemarie supposed to prepare for tomorrow when she can't even keep up with today? Annemarie is not ready for all the change about to happen to her. How can middle school be so different and change a person in so many ways?

Jenny Han did a wonderful job writing this book. It is funny, captivating, and realistic. What happens in this book could happen to anyone!


5 STARS!!!!!
