Looking For Alaska

Looking For Alaska by John Green. (This is the 2nd time I've read this book now, and I think i like it better now that i've read it twice rather just one time. This book is about a boy, Miles, who decieds to go away for the summer. His life is compeletely changed when he gets there. He has to learn how to adapt to the southern life and changes his good boy ways to someone who isn't afraid to get introuble. Once he has been there for awhile he's accomplished not only that but he's also thinking he has found "love".
I really hated this book at first, like barely could keep reading it just because it starts out soooo slooooow but my cousin told me it gets better once you fianlly get into it and I think I agree with her although it took me till the 2nd time reading it before I actually began to enjoy it. I suppose I'd reccommened this but only to people who enjoy books, such as HOLES.

The Murderers Daughters

The Murderers Daughters by Randy Susan Myers. Pretty much is one of those books that is good yet so hurtful at the same time. Merry and Lulu are 9 and 5, living in their mother's apartment and doing everything she asks of them considering she blames for her life going to hell. Their father and mother have had a falling out. Their father is head over heels in love with their mother and she wants nothing to do with him considering she only married him because he got her knocked up with Merry at such a young age. One day their father comes over drunk off his behind and their mother has told them everyday, NOT to let their father in--Merry does it anyways, which is going to haunt her for the rest of her life considering her father kills their mother and while she is running to get help, stabs Lulu, her baby sister, in the chest. I believe this book is one of the best hard books to read because most people haven't gone through this and if you let yourself into their lives, your setting yourself up for heartbreak. I recommend this to anyone, especially since my mom told me to read this and we usually have totally different tastes when it comes to books.

So, recently I've been experiencing a "glitch" with my blog and it hasn't let me post ANYTHING, so that's why I have absolutely nothing on my page. My bad for taking so long to figure it out, but at least i finally got it !! Anyways, I'm currently finishing We All Fall Down and just read the book The Murderers' Daughters, which was very very good. Pages this week: 200. Total this semester: uh, to be honest; I'm not exactly sure.
Quotes:

So far, so good.
So far. . .
So good."


"We drive off.
I look over at her, and she stares back curiously.
She stares and stares. She won't break eye contact.
I'm pretty sure I've heard that's a really bad sign.
F**k."
-Both quotes from We All Fall Down, Nic Sheff.
