Smiles to Go/Dancing with the Devil

So I know that I said I would be able to say a lot more on Smiles to Go than what I did the first time, but that's not going to happen. The book itself was not hard to read or understand, but the part about protons, yeah that confused me. I did not understand why the main character was so obsessed with protons, or what there even was to obsess over! Protons, wow, so cool (that was sarcasm). So instead of continuing a post on a book I know nothing about because I stopped reading it, let's go to a book I actually enjoyed.

Dancing with the Devil by Katie Davis. Sounds pretty creepy, right? Sadly, it's not all that bad, at least not yet. This novel is about a girl named Mackenzie who has a love for biking, a dead mother, and who went through a rough childhood because of her grieving father. Mackenzie has been trying to get away from her father for a long time now, and has finally found her escape through a summer biking trip.The description makes this book seem like it is going to be really dark, so I feel like that is going to be happening very soon. So far in the book, it has just been a lot of rising action. I wish the story would hurry up so I can get to the juicy parts, but I guess that I just have to remember that slow and steady wins the race. All of this rising action is for a good reason. Part of the reason that I decided to start reading this was because in the description, the author said that it took her nine years to finish writing it. This fact made me feel like this novel would be really good because of how long it took for the author to finish it. So far, it hasn't been a disappointment.

I don't really know what this is...

This post is dedicated to Sam Terriblini (there is no way I spelled that right) because he said to write about something that wasn't a book.

HI SAM!!!!

 Well I don't really know what to talk about now, so let's go to the obvious topic, 5 Seconds of Summer aka 5SOS. Yeah, okay, maybe I am a weeee bit obsessed, but I can't help it! I didn't choose the fan-girl life, the fan-girl life chose me. Did I really just say that? Wow I'm slightly disappointed in myself right now. Sorry to people who understand where my disappointment is coming from. 5SOS is not considered a boy band (Atneya) because each member plays an instrument and, according to dictionary.com, a boy band is a "trendy pop group of young male singers" which means they all sing, not they all play instruments. I rest my case here and I think I may have just accidentally done a tiny version of a TIQA *cringe* WHAT HAS SCHOOL DONE TO ME?!

So I managed to fix my lampshade today. I had to tape the shade onto the stand part of the lamp because the sizes don't match up, but the first time I taped it, I completely messed  up. The shade was so lopsided and awkward, but after a few months of that, I finally decided to fix it. Go me! *cue round of applause and standing ovation*

I really have no idea what I'm even talking about in this so if you aren't my teacher then I am very proud of you for getting this far, not proud enough that I would cue a standing ovation for you, but still proud. My Skittles from Halloween are stale and now I'm sad. WAIT I JUST LOOKED BEHIND ME AND MY LAMPSHADE IS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I need to go fix it now so

BYE SAM!!!

Smiles to Go

I picked up a random book because I needed a book to read and this was the outcome. I don't really know what to think about Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli. It has some weird science stuff in it and makes protons sound like the most interesting thing in the world. I also don't understand the title at all, but it will probably make a lot more sense when I get further into it. Once I do get further into it, I will be able to say a lot more about it.

Before starting Smile to Go, I read the first couple chapters of a book titled Turned. I only started it because it was free, and that should have been my first indication of how much it would suck. Throughout the whole book, well, the part of it that I actually read, I felt like it was written by a 13 year old girl. Yeah, I don't even remember what her name was so... I guess I'm done here.
