Glass by Ellen Hopkins

Crank by Ellen Hopkins is a really sad book. It seems like the entire family is divided. The father left Bree/Kristina and Leigh when they were at an extremely young age. Leigh is lesbian and is at a collage living with her controlling girlfriend and not to mention she hate her dad. Their mother is super strict, uptight and protective. Kristina/Bree is loose outgoing, loves to get high off meth and is a teen mom as a result of rape.
And now they are all together and i can just feel the tension whenever they are around each other.
It barely seems like they even want to like each other. Kristina/Bree is the only one who wants everyone to get along as a family.
After all they are all here because of her and her baby who is going to be baptized very soon.

I don’t think i would be able to live like that. Everyone would be so; distant from each other and it would always be okward being around them. It would feel like I’m alone.
Overall this is a really good book, and I’m at an important stage in the story and I can’t wait to read and find out what happens next in the plot.
Will everyone cooperate or will there be fighting and many disagreements. Time will only tell.

blod post: lost hero

I read The Lost Hero, by Rick Riordan. One of the main characters, Jason, has just decided to go on a quest to save Hera, a Greek god who is imprisoned. I am wondering why Jason made this decision.
In other books I have read, the characters don’t want to leave loved ones. Jason, however, has had his memory swept clean. If he ever had any loved ones that he wouldn’t want to leave, he does not remember them. Therefore, he has no loved ones to stop him from going.
Another reason he might have decided to go is because Hera has stolen his memory and he wants it back. If he gets his memory back he might be able to understand what’s happening in his life with the Greek gods.
Since he has lost his memory, Jason doesn’t know much about his personality or his own beliefs.

I also think it was really cool how Rick Riordan made dreams a huge part of the book and that’s something I might want to do in one of my own writing pieces.

 He also wanted to go on to quest to feel important and that he belongs to something (in this case a quest) . Since he doesn’t know if he belongs to anything this might help him feel wanted and special to an important cause.

But I can’t wait till the next book!

Good ol' Jeff Kinney really hits home with his latest installment of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Greg finds himself stuck inside with his mom and two brothers in the middle of a large snowstorm. They survive for a couple of days before the power goes out and the heat along with it. Can they make it out alive? And what's this about a creepy doll that seems to follow Greg around everywhere he goes?

I forgot how much I loved to imagine some of the things happening in the book happen to me! I can really connect with Greg because we similar yet different experiences, not just in this book but in all of his books. We both struggle with siblings. I have and older sister and he has an older brother, I have a younger brother, and he has a younger brother. And we are both the middle child. And as the middle child we feel like we get treated different then we should be treated!

But in a way we both have to cope with it! Yes we have struggles but at the same time we have good times! And at heart we care about our siblings! Even if they do annoy you to the breaking point…

you can never go wrong with this series. There are parts that'll make you chuckle, or even laugh, if you're easily amused. This book cover is also one of my favorites. It just seems to tell you what you're in store for. I'm curious to see what he comes up with next. A nice little read that'll easily take you a day, two if you're preoccupied with something. You'll realize that the book is over before you know it
