Liar

LIAR by Justine Larbalestier

“Liar” is about a girl who has difficulties with telling the truth, whether its with adults, teens, or even her parents. Her boyfriend ends up dead and everyone kind of suspects her because all she ever does is lie.
       The significance of the title “Liar” is exactly what it says. Micah is a liar. She lies about simple things like at the beginning of the book her teacher mistakes her for a boy and she doesn’t correct the teacher. She lies about having a brother and that they hate each other.  So what if shes lying about everything in the book. I wish someone else was telling the story about her, so maybe we would know what’s the truth is or isn’t.  At the end of the book something happens to her teacher, I don’t really know how to take it because it kind of seems like it moved one thing and then was on a different part.
         “Liar” really annoys me because I don’t know what to think about it, she ends up saying shes a werewolf but with so many lies how can anyone believe  her?  Also about her parents living her at the greats, I know it seems like a good idea, but all the parents I know of wouldn’t be able to just leave them and never see them again.  Finally, she shares who killed Zach but whose to say that she didn’t. All Micah ever does is lie! That’s why no matter what happens in the book I won’t believe it because she is a Liar!

Fourth Comings

Fourth comings by Megan McCafferty


      This is the forth book in the series. Its about Jessica Darling. She just graduated from college with a psychology degree. She doesn’t know what to do with it though.  So shes trying to deal with that.
       Her and her boyfriend Marcus Flute are back together and he just asked her to marry him.  Mostly because they were thinking about breaking up, which really confused me.
        In “Fourth Comings”  there is a couple Bridget and Pettie, they got engaged but then ended up saying they aren’t going to get married untill gays can get married because why would they do support something that not everyone can do. I kind of agree but at the same time they should worry about themselves. Its not really their fight to fight. Sure they could support gays and still get married. They must really want to be married if he asked the question and she accepted.  I hope they end up getting married in the last book because they seem like they belong together. Bridget and Pettie have been together since high school. I believe their in their last year of college and Bridget just transferred to be with Pettie.  Also Marcus just asked Jessica to marry him. I really want them to be together to. Guess I’m a hopeless romantic too. But they don’t seem like their going in that direction so I’m hoping something changes.

My feelings on the book "Charmed Thirds" by Megan McCafferty

The book I just read is called “Charmed Thirds” by Megan McCafferty. Its about a girl named Jessica Darling. She has a boyfriend named Marcus and they end up breaking up because they were in a long distance relationship.
       “Charmed Thirds” kind of made me angry because after it took them so long to get together why would you ruin it by being stupid.  One of them should have just moved closer together if they wanted to have a relationship.  Distance is hard enough without putting other problems into it.  Jessica Darling does something in the book that really makes me mad. I’ll just say she must have not wanted the relationship bad enough.
The ending is the best part of the book, which, took all my anger of what Jessica did away!  Jessica goes on a road trip with her best friend Hope and Marcus gives her a going away gift that I think will make her understand him more.  Maybe finally she and Marcus can be together without all the issues they’ve  had  in the past.
I kind of relate to the story because I use to be friends with a guy who moved away. First it wasn’t that far away and he ended up coming back. Then a couple years after moving back, he ended up moving to Texas. Its really hard to get over something  like that. So, I understand how Jessica Darling is feeling.  After all though, I think that if your ment to be together you will be.  You just have to wait till is your turn to shine!

Letter to the Author of Vampire Academy

The book I read is called “Vampire Academy” by Richelle Mead




Dear Richelle Mead,


          When I first started to read your book I didn’t think I would like it because I  had read “Twilight” first and I thought it was just going to be “another one of those books” As I got closer to the end though I couldn’t wait to read the next book. I bugged my sister until she would let me read the next book before her. (they are her books and she can’t be weird about them)  They are such good books. I just want to keep reading more.  I was wondering if you are going to write any more books about the characters?  I would be so excited if you would!  Also how did you come up with the story line. Its nothing like “Twilight” and yet, its more exciting I would say.  Would you ever consider having a shadow, I would love to see how writers come up with some of their material.  I don’t have much of an imagination. So it would be really nice to se

                                                                                                                                  Your Friend,
                                                                                                                                           Amy
