The Clique Summer Collection (Massie)

Okay, so I just finished the Dylan Clique book two days ago. It was pretty good. Yesterday I started Massie. Massie is like a leader that doesn't get let down, and doesn't always play the game fairly. Massie has just recently got kicked out of her camp that she has been going to for six years. She is so angry, but she quickly revises herself. She is now a cosmetic girl because her parents made her get a job to pay back the horse riding camp. Her parents are like the richest people in town, so Massie doesn't see why she has to. She is such a spoiled little brat, but she is becoming nice. I wish her luck on her jobby- a job that is a hobby. I also hope that she learns her lesson.

I was a little angry when Massie gluing her horse team-mate to her saddle. I was thinking right then and there that she would get in BIG trouble, and she did. The judges thought something was a little suspicious with Selma because no-one had ever ridden side-saddle before. After Selma was done with her turn of riding, one of the judges came over to the barn to check out the team's reaction. The Galwaugh Goddesses were so happy that Selma stayed on the saddle because she is such a horrible rider. Massie did this all just so she could get on the cover of the Horse & Rider magazine. She is such a brat. Massie cried with her horse, and left her "gross" little clothes there. I guess she isn't getting them back!

I was also a bit confused was when Massie got back because her dad was being so nice to her. Her mom yelled at her right away, and she definitely lay down the law. Her dad just played sweetie with her until her parents came in the next morning in her room. When they came in they told her that they had signed her up for a job at the country club, but Massie did not like that idea. Then she protested, and begged her parents to pick her own job. Her parents finally said yes, and she had to find one in five days.

I am sick of Massie! Massie keeps talking about her horse camp to other people, and lied about what really happened. I was sick of it because you shouldn't lie about something, and she kept talking to people about it. One time she even said that she left to someone because she was sick of it. That one did not shock me there because she is such a dirty, little brat. It was a good idea of her parents to make her work because her attitude definitely is shaping up.

The one part I really enjoyed was when Massie went online to order a ton of clothes, and then all of a sudden when she entered her credit card... it said DENIED! Okay, so she didn't freak quite yet. She then entered her AmEx card... DENIED, her Visa... DENIED, her MasterCard... DENIED, and finally her last golden chase card... DENIED! Now Massie could freak. Did her parents cancel her credit cards? Yes, but why? Massie needed to now right away. When she found her parents they said she had to pay the them back the money for her camp, and then they would un-cancel her cards. Massie was like a HOT pina Colada on a summer day. Not fun! Pina Coladas' are supposed to be cold.

I found myself flipping ahead when Massie held her BePretty cosmetics party. She invited EVERY despicable beauty insult in town. She met every single one of them to tell them what they needed, and how they should use the cosmetics. She went row by row, and next by next, until it was over. She was then exhausted. She was now the top sales person of BePretty cosmetics ever. The next day she received a visit by the owner, and was told that she could take a few days off to work on some commercial for her dog, Bean. Did I mention the owner dropped purple glitter from her helicopter when she landed? I guess not, but you better believe it!

I liked Dylan's book a lot over all. Massie will be pretty good, but I think I liked Dylan better though. I definitely recommend them. My next book will be The Clique. Check out my blog for new posts about my current book.

Well, it looks like I am going to finish Massie tonight! Wow, long post.

Bye!

The Clique: Summer Collection (Dylan)

Okay, so I've started another book. Its one of those Clique Books that's a summer edition. Anyway, the girl that I'm reading about is Dylan. She and her mom take a plane to Hawaii because her mom is a talk show host. The new Hawaii U.S. Open is coming around the corner, and one of the players has had a nervous melt down. Svetlana, from Russia, is a total jerk! She acts really nice and appreciative during the interview, but when the interview is over she completely mistreats Dylan.

I was a little angry when Dylan realized that her new guy friend, J.T., I just too obsessed with tennis. She realized that he just asked her out because she was wearing one of the Svetlana designer dresses. She also realized that when she met him in the tennis shop, he hadn't said 'hot' to Dylan, but to her dress. Did I mention the dress went a little too high? Anyway, he is such a perv and a jerk. I think Dylan should give him another chance though. Maybe she can talk some non-tennis sense into him.

I was also a bit confused why Svetlana always asks for a gray cat with dark blue eyes. Then I found out that her real cat was stuck in Russia because the President said it had to quarantined before it came to the U.S. I am not sure if Svetlana knew what that meant because she is a blond, but she could have someone figure that out for her. If she really loves her cat so much, she should just get it quarantined.

I am sick of Svetlana! Its always Svetlana this, Svetlana that. why can't she just be nice or go away. It fun for Dylan to be around her either. she completely beats her up, and hates children. The two things that she doesn't hate are tennis, and the camera. she always has to be the center of attention, and in the center of the spotlight.

The one part I really enjoyed was when Dylan met J.T. because he was really nice by buying her a tennis dress, but the first act kind of got me off guard. He is really a tennis-obsessed JERK! He needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I mean seriously, he just acts nice to girls to get closer to Svetlana. He needs to realize how considerate, and beautiful Dylan is.

The part I was laughing a lot was when Dylan spilled her prosciutto-wrapped melon ball in a soy and white wine reduction because she is, so perfect and doesn't spill anything on herself. She quickly flicked it off, while being extremely embarrassed. She kept obsessing over if J.T. saw her spill it. If he did she would completely freak. Anyway, she should be freaking out because she spilled it on her new tennis dress. Oh, I'm sorry. Let me correct myself. New white tennis dress. I wish her luck on getting that out in the laundry, or should I say dry cleaning.

I found myself flipping ahead when Dylan got into a fight with Svetlana. When Dylan went up to Svetlana, she asked her how she gets her french braid so tight. Svetlana then turned and said "stop stalking me you dirty little rag". Dylan was really surprised because Svetlana had seemed so nice. Svetlana then twisted Dylan's wrist really hard, and made Dylan drop her brand new phone. After that, Svetlana stood nose to nose with Dylan and head-butted her. Dylan then fell to the ground, feeling like she got a concussion. Quickly, Dylan picked up her phone, got up, and ran (as fast as she could) to her mom.

That's all for now!

Okay. I just finished my mystery book for lit. skills, and I didn't really like it. I don't really like mysteries at all. Except for the Chasing Vermeer series. That was great. they were the most amazing books that I have ever read. Anyway, that stuff is another story. It is time to get down to business. 

The book that I am reading now is still Twilight. I have been a little side tracked with the in-school books and everything, but now I can really settle down with this book and move on. I was a little angry about Lauren during the beach day because she was being such a brat. She really doesn't like Bella, and she has very high standards. I can tell pretty well. It was cool how Mike planned the beach out-ting and all, but Bella really won't go out with him. He is such a lover boy! 

I was also a bit confused during Jacob's stories because I really didn't understand why the Vampires couldn't come on to the certain territory, but then It finally clicked for me like five seconds later. As I read on, I understood that it was for the tribe's safety. So no one would get hurt by the Vampires, or bitten. Tats when I caught on.

I am sick of Mike falling over Bella. I know that when a boy has his heart set on a girl, it stays set on a girl. But I really want him to just wake up and smell the coffee. I mean really, why can't he see that she doesn't like him like that. Maybe he does, but Bella doesn't want to crush his heart like a big bully.

The one part I really enjoyed was when Jacob told Bella about the ordinance, and was telling all of these stories about werewolves and vampires. I liked the whole bond between them, and how they knew each other since they were born. It was enjoyable to read through the friendly pages of old friends re-uniting. Anyway, Jacob is such a sweet gear-head.

The part I was laughing a lot was when Lauren said, "Oh, so you know Bella,  Jacob". And Jacob said, "Actually yes, we have practically known each other since we were born". This was because she is so arrogant, and such a jerk sometimes. But Jacob and Bella just dissed her completely. She so full of herself, and then she crashes and burns.

I found myself flipping ahead when Bella went on the really slow Internet to look up facts about vampires, and werewolves. I was so interested in reading about vampires, and I thought that the stories were really cool. I liked the one about the doctor sucking the women's blood out of her finger, and then he loathed the taste, so he sucked her body completely. He just drained it.

Anyway, that's a long post. I have to rest my fingers now. Check my blog for another update soon.

Ms. Peitrzak-

I commented on Matilda's Blog, Anna R.'s Blog, Emily's Blog, Shae's Blog, and Hannah's Blog. That's five comments! Yes! I have reached my goal! See you in class. I can't wait to find out what happens next in canned. 

BYE!

P.S. sorry if I spelled your name wrong. B-)

Tricky name to spell!

So, I am like in the begining of Twilight and it has been going slow a little bit. I still like reading it though. I was a little angry when Bella almost got hit by a car and Edward comes out of nowhere to save her because he doesn't admit what happened. Even if he admitted it, she would have thought he was a lunatic. So I guess him not telling her was a good thing. We all know that he is a Vampire and all, but I don't understand how a Vampire can pick up a big van. It doesn't seem physically possible.

I was also a bit confused why Edward stopped talking to Bella after her Accident. It was most likely because she thought he was a creep for coming to her rescue so fast. Well, that part kind of set me off a bit. I am back on track now. I like how Bella is making her and her dad dinner because it shows how independent she is. It is a little awkward when her dad is around because she doesn't really have that great of a relationship with him at this point. I am sure she will ease up about him, and that they will become-as he says-"buds".
I was sick of the part when Edward was gone for a few days , and all that Bella talked about and wondered about was "when is Edward coming back?", or "where did Edward go?" I didn't like this part because it was really slow going and kind of dull. It would have been better if Bella had gone shopping with Jessica and something weird happened. Or if Bella made friends with one of Edward's brothers or sisters.
The one part that I enjoyed was when Charlie (dad) got Bella her truck because it was a really heart warming event. It showed how Bella loved it , but she didn't want to hug her dad because she thought that that would be weird. Her dad wanted to be nice by giving it to her because he really loves her, but the relationship hasn't come together in a father daughter sort of way.
I found myself flipping ahead during the part when Bella almost got hit by a car because it was insanity. I couldn't figure out what happened at the time. All I wanted to do was indulge the book, and let the kinks crinkle. So that I would get it, and understand it. Edward practically swooped up the van and pushed Bella away in at least a second.
I like this book so far, because it really makes me keep on reading it. It is devouring in every way. It makes me feel addicted to it. I am NOT a Twiheart at all-don't worry my friends- I just think that Twilight is a pretty good book. It keeps me interested in it. Stephanie Meyer did a good job at keeping it real and exciting.


Wow. My hands are tired of typing...
Bye for now!

Mrs. P- I commented on Matilda's and Anna's blog.

The City of Ember/How New Things Work

The City of Ember is very similar to How New Things Work because their main keys both involve technology. Recently, the city of ember has just witnessed a power outage. This may seem normal, but the city is 241 years old and in need of a huge repair. They have had one before, but it only lasted 3 minutes. This one lasted over 7 minutes. The Citizens of Ember are gravely fearing for a permanent power failer. When will the main power source-The Generator- officially die?

Many wonder if there is a city of full light beyond them. No one has had the guts or skills to find out completely. Some have made it out but have ran back because the complete darkness freaks them out. Lina Mayfleet has visions of the lighted city. She even draws them with the savages that she finds. Ember is on its way out. Doon however has the skills, and knowledge for what it takes to save The City of Ember. Together they may be able to save the Citizens of ember.

Lina and Doon are best friends right. Well they didn't use to be. The whole thing about finding the instructions and decoding them really made them friends in the first place. A few days go on and they finally decode the instructions. now they are traveling allong their way ijn the Pipeworks trying to find the hidden room with all of the boats, candles, matches, and paddles to get their way out of Ember. Anyway they can't figure out how the candles work, but then they finally do.

I was a little angry about: the part when they thought that they found the secret room, but it was really just the Mayor's secret stash of food that he was stealing from everyone. This was because I was waiting and waiting for them to just find it, so I could read about Lina, Doon, and Poppy's escape. Poppy is Lina's little sister by the way.

I was also a bit confused during the whole incident about Sadge coming back from the outside of Ember because it was pointless. I just don't understand why the author needed to put that part in. We already know about the times when people tried to escape Ember and never came back. Or when they went , but came back a few minutes later. All that I am saying is that it was just a bit repetitive.

The one part of the story that I really enjoyed was when Lina and Doon finally solved the instructions for the way out of Ember. This was because I had been waiting so long, I could practically solved myself by now. Well, when that happened, I was really happy. I was ready to read about the journey to find what they needed to escape the City.
