Sorry you guys but I was volunteering at VBS (Vacation Bible School) and I literally just got back so here it is short and sweet. And I’ve decided that I’m changing it to review Tuesday.

Books

I found a new book called Bittersweet Sixteen by Carry Karysov and Jill Kargman I liked this book because it was full of friendship gone bad. I know it’s a weird reason to like it but I think that not all friendships stay true for a long time. This book is about a girl Laura who goes to a very posh all-girls school but is on a scholarship because she doesn’t live like the average ‘Tate Girl’ (Tate is the school that she goes to). Her friends Whitney and Sophie are obsessed with their Sweet Sixteen that they didn’t notice how valuable their friendship was. Whitney and Sophie tried to have a combined SS but it ended up that they really didn’t like each other so they started to plot against each other. They put Laura in the middle of a crush on a guy and a Party when all she did was help she eventually snapped (No duh). But it ended in such a way that the friendship was better but not miraculously mended.

If you like books about ghosts but not scary ones then you might like The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot about a mediator, someone who can talk to ghosts, that is being haunted by a guy Jesse who was killed in her bedroom in California. During this series she meets another mediator and talks to a ‘mediator doctor’ but there are very attention catching plots in every book. Mg Cabot has done it again.

Twilight By Stephenie Meyer is by far the best book I have read in my life. I know I have a short life but I promise you that you will love it or I will stop reviewing. So basically I found this book from my cousin who was reading it for school and she said it was OK. So I heard a little more about it but I didn’t really think about it anymore. I saw it a the bookstore about a week ago and LOVED it. It hadn’t left my hands since last night when I finished it. Twilight is about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a guy named Edward who is a vampire. But Edward and his family don’t hunt humans. Edward tries to stay away from belle but I he can’t deny what he’s feeling. Through the course of the book you’ll find yourself wanting more because it’s kind of vague. Vague enough to make you keep reading but not vague enough to make you feel confused. It made me cry and laugh and get scared but I loved that it was solely from Bella’s view. Like sometimes books say “meanwhile”… or “little did I know” but this book recalled just what Bella was feeling and seeing and nothing more.

Music

Jason Mraz’s CD Mr. A-Z is one of my favorites because the opening number Life is wonderful is slow enough to really listen to what he’s saying. Of Mr.Curiosity is kind of funny at first but then turns out kind hearted and sweet. Jason Mraz has a sound of his own literally when I put his songs in my iTunes then it says under genre ‘Jason Mraz’ because there really isn’t a way to describe it.

The Click Five Greeting From Immrie House I like this CD because the songs some how get into your head and they just stick someway and they’re good songs. Like their ever popular ‘Just The Girl’ isn’t even the best on the album. I like ‘I’ll Take My Chances’ because it’s slow and really sweet. Sadly their lead singer, I think his name is Eric, doesn’t have the best voice in the world that’s why they got a new singer for their new album. As much as I like this album it’s an acquired ear. I had to listen to this album a lot in order to get to like it so I don’t really think it’s good if you want like a hit after hit CD.

Movies

Just My Luck (PG-13) Just My luck was actually really funny I don’t totally see why it’s PG-13 because it was just laughs. I liked how her friends weren’t bitter about her Dumb Luck spell. Jake (The Unlucky Guy) was cute and funny without being a jerk you he was genuinely sweet and kindhearted.
