Into the Wild Nerd Yonder: My life on the Dork Side

2010-08-12T12:42:00.000-07:00

"I used to love the first day of school"

Jessie is normal. She is herself. She has been this way for years, and doesn't expect to change herself ever. She isn't exactly happy with being her, and having to live up to the expectations of having friends that are so cool. Char is a beauty, wanted by all who go to their school, and Bizza is a rebel, crowned by her own creativity. Jessie, though, as I said is herself. Over the summer leading to her sophomore year, Bizza and Char transform themselves into punks. They change into the most unique people of the school. Bizza, never the best friend, dates Jessie's crush, Van. After the friend break-up of Bizza and Jessie, Jessie makes new friends. Jessie's new friends are the nerdiest, dragons-and-dungeons-playing, too-short pants-wearing dorks and Henry may have a crush on her. Will Jessie make up with Bizza? Is Henry Jessie's new crush?

Ages 12-16: All-American Girl by Meg Cabot

2010-02-04T12:45:00.000-08:00

Sam is everybody's "favorite' art rebel. The one who wears black clothes, listens to ska (deathrock basically), has pink-haired friends, and is forced to go to (conformist) art classes. The only thing is she is everybody's favorite. Why? because she saved the president. Now Sam has the fame and the fortune. The problem is she doesn't want it. Though what she does want is a normal life and her normal sister's perfect-for-her boyfriend, Tom. Sadly those things will be really hard to get because of her sister's push for her to start dating the president's son, David. David is another art rebel. Will Tom finally call to her or will David win her over? Read to find out.
This book was pretty interesting. The main character was very peculiar for Meg Cabot to write about, though I loved it.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

"What if you found the one you were supposed to be with, but you couldn't have them?"

Luce Price killed a boy. She doesn't know if it was her or ... the shadows. The shadows are these creature that she has seen from a young age. Sadly because of the shadows, she has been sent to a reform school when she meets Daniel Grigori they scatter. Daniel Grigori is... your average stud muffin. He's a straight A student, well behaved, and above all hot. The only problem is HE WILL NOT even look at her. She know their meant to be, but what if they aren't.

I loved this book. It was so amazing. I can't tell you much but the "blanks" are all angels except"blank". I liked it because of all of the characters. Though I couldn't understand some of the main characters, the book was good. Also some of the characters didn't fit into the plot like they were supposed to, I think I'll understand it in later books.

girls life bible

2010-01-22T10:39:00.000-08:00

This is like a Chicken Noodle Soup for the Girl's Soul, but it's a bible. It is really nice. Sometimes I go the internet to find a word and what it means but in this book there is a star and you look at the bottom of the page . Some times you will see a I survived or a What now or a Charts and maps. You will see a I'm not the only one and a Is it ok ? and a glance at. In the beginning of chapter is was a who, what, where, and why and it tell you the time line . This bible comes in a adult form and a guy form.

Skinned by Robin Wasserman

"Lia Khan is Dead. I am Lia Khan. Therefore, I am Dead, but I'm not."
-Lia Khan

Lia Khan died. She should be dead but she's not. Instead of being dead, she has been put in an artificial body. In the beginning she couldn't talk or walk or any of those things to took her so long to learn. By the time she got back to her "normal life" everything was ruined. She had no friends no boyfriend and the only boy who wanted to be with her was Auden. Auden wore glasses ,which no one wore since they would fix it with computers. Auden basically was nerd.
Now Lia must decide between Auden and the SKINNERS!

Daisy Giordano is normal. I know what your thinking, isn't that a good thing?, well it isn't if your mother and three sisters are psychic in that situation it sucks. Then you have to factor in her former best friend, Samantha, is out to get her, then say her best friend/crush is in love with her former best friend. I say all of that to say how much her life sucks. Good thing in this book things get better not worse. Even though you can guess how it gets better. I still think you should read it.

2009-03-31T11:31:00.000-07:00

And the Author is...

STEPHANIE MEYER

Stephanie Meyer is the author of the month. I've read all of her books except Breaking Dawn. The first three books in the twilight series are awesome. Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse are so awesome. I read them all at least 3 times. I also read the host. The host was awesome. It wasn't
about vampires like I like to read about. It was about wait for it...wait for it........ ALIENS. Oh snap! I like aliens too, but I still love the twilight saga the best. It's so awesome-tastic!

I love how descriptive her characters are. Like the Cullens in twilight: Edward- selfless, perfect, temperamental; Alice- outgoing, doesn't keep her thoughts to herself; Rosalie- self- absorbed; Emmett- playful, fun-loving; Jasper- quiet; Carlisle- selfless; and Esme- kind, caring, and motherly. Don't forget Bella- a big PUSHOVER, but also stubborn

This book is good for 4 & 5 year olds because it introduces words like dig , fill, ball ,ears,beg leg toes , and other simple words like that.
Another reason why it is good for those ages is because it rhymes.
It is a bright and early books for beginning beginners book if you do not now what that means its one of those Dr. Seuss books.
It is also good for mom 's of 3 year olds read in bed.

Ages 12-16: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

2009-02-11T09:18:00.000-08:00

Twilight is a really great book it's basically a love story between a vampire and a human.While Edward struggles not to eat her, he begins to love her and since he only feeds on animals she must be really tasty. This story is truly incredible.

Most people saw the movie then read the book but since it's PG-13 I couldn't see any of it. I also am one of those people who loves to read so even though I didn't see the movie I usually love the book more when it is made into a movie.When I hear about books made into movies I can usually say "I read that". Sadly I can't always say " It was fantabulous"though for this book I can!

Books We Have Read as a Family

2009-01-04T19:56:00.000-08:00

Since we've begun homeschooling we've started the practice of listening to books in the car. Last year when we were in traditional school we read The Tale of Desperaux aloud. It was a great book, and we went to see the movie last month. Reading aloud is great, but I am really loving listening in the car. These are the books we've listened to so far.

The Dark Flight Down, by Marcus Sedgwick. It was an interesting read from start to finish. The book took many turns and had lots of twists, and it was good for every member of our family. Including our littlest daughter, who is 7 years old. Daddy loved this one too, and his interest in this book encouraged us girls to get books that are a little less girly for the enjoyment of us all.

We also read The first book in the Main Street Series, Welcome to Camden Falls by Ann M Martin. It is one of those girly-girl books. My girls and I loved it, but hubby made fun of it because he said it seemed to be about nothing. The girls in this book have lost their parents, and begin a new life in a new city. It's great for girls 7 - 13 years I think.

These books we've borrowed right from our local library in CD format. They allowed us a full three weeks to keep them, plus renewal if needed. It is a great activity we've added to our family time, and if you are looking for some real connection in the car, try reading a book on tape. It was really great for our 7-hour long Thanksgivings journey this year. It gave us a chance to break away from ipods, video games, and long mommy/ daddy chats.

I'll post about some of the others later.

She is really in very deep and she wants to be a witch but she isn't. This book is pretty good but please read the prequel or else you will be left in the dark.
