I started reading LA CANDY by Lauren Conrad, and the only thing going through my mind was, "This is horribly written; I can't believe I'm reading something this superficial..." :p I just hope most teen lit isn't like that! xD

fungirl123 Hello, Quirky Bookworms! :-) Since I’m too lazy – and exhausted from that five-hour drive home today – to write a full-out review of the three books I’ve read (see them all in one of my most recent updates below), I thought I’d just tell you quickly what I thought of them. My favorite of the three was THE LUXE by Anna Godbersen. I CANNOT express my love for this book. There was never a dull moment in it. The end was…oh, dear…the ending was enthralling! My next favorite was BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS also by the same author. All of the characters were relatable. There were a few twists which I was NOT expecting…and I loved it! <3 FORGOTTEN by Cat Patrick was my least favorite. The main character was a relatable teenage girl and the book was quite interesting. But I hated the ending. It left my hanging. :-\ Does he die? Do they find him? What happens next? The epilogue was no help. I didn’t take A NORTHERN LIGHT with me to Michigan, since I knew I wouldn’t have time to read it. I’ll start reading that tonight, hopefully. :-D
8/9/2012 4:20:27 PM | Report
peetakatniss1 I'm gonna look into reading The Luxe! If anyone's looking for a good read, i would recommend Starters by Lissa Price. It's pretty new, came out sometime this year. It's sort of like the Hunger Games in a way but completely different at the same time!

7/25/2012 5:36:03 PM | Report
fungirl123 Okay, now I just feel like ranting. First is about Matched by Ally Condie. Ugh. This book has a really, really good plot. The characters were all very likeable, and it had a few interesting points in it. But here’s one thing: I absolutely abhor it when authors don’t give any background information on this completely weird dystopian society. Yes, it did mention a few things, like how they had the Hundred Poems, Hundred Songs, and Hundred Books. But they didn’t even give any background information on the Matching process…and that’s the most important part of the whole book. Here’s the basic plot of the book: In the Society (Yes, in the book that’s all they call it. “The Society”), the government and Officials (also always capitalized) controls everything, where you work, where you go to school, what you eat, when you eat, and your spouse. But the most important thing for Cassia, the protagonist, is the Matching (always capitalized). At first she gets matched with her lifelong crush, Xander…but then she finds out that she has another match, Ky. And as far as I know, most of her drama centers around, “Well how could the Society have made a mistake?!” I think it’s dumb how small things are capitalized (i.e. Official, Society, Match, etc.). But my biggest problem was the ZERO background information factors. I didn’t even finish the book. But if you don’t mind those kinds of books, then I’m sure you’d love this piece! :-)The next book is the entire Pretty Little Liars Series. The plot is amazing, don’t get me wrong! It’s so mysterious. But I’m so bored with the fact that Sara Shepard never stops writing new books! She just keeps writing more! :\ And now it’s gotten out of hand. It shows soooooo evidently that she doesn’t even plan out the new books! She just throws these things in and they don’t even match up with the things she’s said in past books. In fact, she’ll say one thing and then another in the next. This is kind of a spoiler, but Emily gets pregnant in one of the more recent books, and it says that she never told one person about it, except her sister. Not her family, not any of the other girls (Hanna, Aria & Spencer). But then two books later (maybe one book later?) she goes on to talk about how she told Spencer, Aria, and Hanna about her pregnancy in the middle and what they’re reactions were. What the heck! She also never mentioned the adoptive mother…and in the most current book (I’m reading it now), the almost-adoptive mother becomes a huge deal! There’s even a flashback to the night that Emily had the baby! It’s getting on my last nerve. :\ The only good-ish thing I have to say about this is that the plot is so riveting that it just draws me in. At the end of every book, there becomes a few new suspicions as to who’s A. But, honestly, the book should have ended after Wanted. But now it’s four books later and she’s still writing more and more and more! Ugh. Now we’re on Book Thirteen: Stunning. But I just can’t stop reading it! Sorry for the anger that might have been felt in this rant…I just needed to talk about it.

kisabella7 I agree with you about Matched, I had no other books to read so I finished it, but I too really didn't like it. There wasn't much background info like you said, and I also am not a big fan of romances.
8/9/2012 4:50:51 PM | Report
peetakatniss1 If anybody is looking for a book similar to Matched/Crossed, i would read Delirium and Pandemonium (the sequel). They are filled with much more action and therefore much more entertaining. :)

peetakatniss1 I read both Matched and Crossed (the second book) and i agree with you, the lack of background info made it very confusing. Matched was for sure much better than Crossed because the sequel was very boring for much of the book.

Nightless they're capitalized to represent a significant being/group. For example, we would capitalize the word God. It's the same thing. Another example is a country or state or province.

Nightless Wow, that is annoying. About Matched. The plot sounds amazing but the fact that it lacks background information is a bit annoying and takes a lot out of a potentially great book. The part about certain things being capitalized

Sci-fi, Historical, fantasy, fan-fiction, fairy tail, retelling, steampunk, Christian, mystery, romance, urban, alternative history, short story, epic, etc. Yeah, I’ll bet you didn’t know that all of those examples are types of fiction. Choose. (hehe :P) Now, as I said, I can’t help you with the actual idea for the whole story. But I love helping people with ideas for writer’s block when their in the middle of the story. <3

fungirl123 This book review might be a LOT shorter than the rest, but I’ll definitely try to go into more detail. BOOK – Divergent by Veronica Roth _ ABOUT THE AUTHOR – Veronica Roth graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in creative writing. While she was a student, she often chose to work on what would soon become “Divergent”…instead of doing her homework. It was indeed a transforming choice. Now a full-time writer, Ms. Roth lives near Chicago (where the book takes place). “Divergent” is her first novel. PUBLISHED BY – HarperCollins Publishers _ In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a specific virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select a faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives to. Once you go into a faction, you never see your family again. Or else your factionless and live on the streets. For Beatrice, the decision between staying with her family and being who she is…and she can’t have both. So she makes a decision that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself “Tris” and struggles to determine who her real friends are—and where, exactly, a romance with a somewhat fascinating, sometimes infuriating, boy that fits into the life she’s chosen. But Tris has a secret, one that she has kept hidden from everyone because she knows that it can mean death. And she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might save the ones she loves…or it might destroy her. MY THOUGHS – I thought the storyline was an amazing one. The book was well written. Every single character in the book was described with fascinating detail that made you get to know every single one. There were a few deaths that especially made me tear up a lot. It was a real page-turner when I got into the middle of it! Veronica Roth made it feel like we were literally watching it all on screen. I had a picture of every setting in my mind like no other book ever. If I had to rate this book, it’d be up there with the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series! Here is just a little saying that sums up all of the faction stuff: One choice. One choice decides your friends. One choice decides your beliefs. One choice determines your loyalties—forever. One choice can transform you. OVERALL RATING OF BOOK – 5/5 stars. I loved the entire thing. I know that I’ve said this often, but this book was seriously F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-I-N-G. It reminds us that becoming fearless is impossible. It’s learning how to control your fears…and how to be free from them. I’m really looking forward to the movie that is said to come out in a year or two. :-) I’d really like to know if any of you have any book recommendations! I love dystopian/utopian books. I hope that you all enjoyed my review/rave! See y’all next time. Till then, ~Haley <3

fungirl123 Book Review! TITLE – Delirium _ GENRE – Fiction, Fantasy, Dystopian _ AUTHOR – Lauren Oliver - recent books of Lauren Oliver are “Before I Fall” and “Liesl & Po”. ABOUT THE AUTHOR – Lauren Oliver was born in 1982 in New York and she began writing fan fiction before she ever began writing her own stories. She pursued literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago, and then moved back to New York to attend NYU’s MFA program in creative writing. Lauren simultaneously began working at Penguin Books, in a young adult division called Razorbill, and while there, she started work on “Before I Fall”, her first novel. Lauren left in 2009 to pursue writing full-time, and now she happily works in her pajamas every day. She now lives in Brooklyn, New York with her best friend and fiancé, Michael. PUBLISHED BY – HarperCollins Publishers. SUMMARY: Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They could love their children, spouses, and anything else. They didn’t understand that once love – the deliria – blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Magdalena Ella “Lena” Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love. REVIEWS – “Strong characters, a vivid portrait of the lives of teens in a repressive society, and nagging questions that can be applied to our world today make this book especially compelling and discussable.” ~School Library Journal starred review _ “Oliver’s artfully detailed prose reveals, brick by brick, the sturdy dramatic foundation of an initially implausible premise…. The abrupt ending leaves enough unanswered questions to set breathless readers up for volume two of this trilogy.” ~ Kirkus, starred review _ "Oliver writes beautifully, with well-measured mastery. The references to The Book of Shhh and The Safety, Health and Happiness Handbook, 12th edition, are exquisitely artful touches." ~NPR’s “Hooray for YA: Teen Novels for Readers of All Ages”. MY THOUGHTS – I loved the entire thing. I thought it was the best idea ever for Lauren Oliver to sum up the entire past of the US in two short sentences right at the beginning of the first chapter. Here is some background information on Lena Haloway: She used to live with her father and mother. But her mother and father are both now gone, and no one knows if they are alive or dead. No one knows. She lives with her aunt Carol, Uncle William, cousin Jenny and her other cousin Grace (who is mute, I may add). She is sixteen and has a best friend named Hana, who is almost the opposite of Lena, a quiet and awkward teenager. The first big conflict for Lena is the evaluations. The evaluations pretty much sum up the rest of your life. They ask you a bunch of questions in a lab room. Then your future spouse is picked by the government. Lena just wants to get the whole thing over with and get on to live her life just like everyone else. But a series of events makes Lena change her whole mindset about the entire process. How could they say that there is a cure for love? She used to believe that they were right. Until Now. Now she’d rather be infected for the tiniest silver of a second than to live a hundred years…smothered by a lie. OVERALL RATING OF THE BOOK: 5/5 Stars. It had absolutely NO dull moment. It described everything that needed to be described. Lauren Oliver is truly amazing at what she does. ;) It was the most captivating book I’ve read since The Hunger Games. If you enjoy any dystopian-society-type literature books, you’ll adore this book. It had me enthralled every second. You will enjoy it, I guaruntee! :D It came out last year, and it’s incredibly popular. So you will be able to find it wherever you go, I bet. If anyone has a book suggestions for me to read next, lemme know on my main page and I’ll get back to you. ^.^ I really hope that you enjoyed my book review/rave. See you all next time. Till then, ~Haley <3

taylorswiftfan1233 @Lexi- Yup. And it's really boring. We're on habit number 5.
4/26/2012 4:44:57 PM | Report
LexilicousCandy @Haley- #Payton is probably talking about The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, or The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (which is the one I think she's talking about since it's the one we read in AVID) by his son, Sean Covey. They’re self-development books, kind of like Chicken Soup for the (Teenage) Soul. Do you get it? In case you don’t, here are the 7 Habits of Sean Covey’s book, designed to help you excel in your teenage life and prepare for your future. *Habits 1-4 are “private victories” meaning that it’s just you who will notice the changes. 1: Be Proactive- Take control and responsibility for your life. Understand that you are responsible for your own [un]happiness. Don’t blame others for your actions/feelings. 2: Begin with the End in Mind- Have a plan of what you want in the future. Follow up by creating a personal mission statement. 3: Put First Things First- Prioritize (i.e.: homework before TV) and complete the most important things in your life. Learn to overcome fears and be strong during difficult times. *Habits 4-7 are “public victories” meant to help you strengthen your relationship with others. 4: Think Win/Win- Be optimistic in all situations. 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood- Learn to listen to others before you expect them to listen to you. Understand that the world does not revolve around your problems and your problems only. 6: Synergize- Learn to work with others to create something better than what either could alone. Learn it doesn't have to be "your way" or "my way" but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. 7: Sharpen the Saw- Don’t over work yourself with a super busy life. Have a day to yourself every once in a while to renew and strengthen yourself in the four key dimensions of life; body, brain, heart, and soul. *It’s been a while since I read this book, so I basically just improvised on the descriptions with what I can remember (which isn’t a lot!) :p *There are also several other 7 Habits book that she can be talking about (but most likely isn’t) listed below: ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People ☮The 7 Habits of Happy Kids ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Frugal People ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Frugal People ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Innovative People ☮The 7 Habits of a Highly Successful Trader ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Anxious People ☮The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Slackers

fungirl123 *So here is the book rave!* <3 Book Rave: TITLE – Old Magic. Author – Marianne Curley (Recent books include Avena Series and The Guardians of Time Series). ABOUT THE AUTHOR – Marianne Curly is an exciting new talent with a fresh and compelling style. A former teacher, she has experimented with different genres, but finds YA the most challenging and satisfying. She lives in Australia (where the story takes place, I may add.) with her family, including three teenage children whose conversation and experiences inspire her writing. This was her first novel. Visit her at www.mariannecurley.com to look at her books and bios. PUBLISHED BY – Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. SUMMARY – The moment that the new guy walks into the room, Kate senses something strange and intense about him. Something supernatural. Her instincts are proven right a few minutes later when, bullied by his classmates, Jarrod unknowingly conjures up a freak thunderstorm inside of their classroom! But Jarrod doesn’t believe in the paranormal. So when Kate tries to convince him that he has extraordinary powers that need to be harnessed, he only puts up with her “hocus pocus” notions because he finds her oh so captivating. However, the dangerous, uncontrolled strengthening of his gift finally (after a little less than half of the book, Lol) convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate’s theories seriously. Together, they embark on a remarkable journey—one which will unravel a mystery that has haunted Jarrod’s family for many generations and centuries and pit the teens against forces in battle that undo the past and reshape the future. REVIEWS – “Old Magic is a confident debut that announces the arrival of a bright, lively new voice.” ~Times Educational Supplement. “A first novel by a very powerful and exciting new writer, this is a fantasy adventure that manages to stay utterly grounded in reality.” ~Publishing News. “An exciting, brilliantly plotted tale full of tension and romance.” ~Books Magazine. “A beautifully crafted novel with strong characters, a page turning plot and a toe-tingling romance. Its strong visual imagery recreates every scene into movie clarity whilst its understated emotives evolve into marvelous atmospherics, and, like Harry Potter, the impossible is suddenly very probably!” ~Teenterrain.com – Books – Fiction. MY THOUGHTS – Kate Warren was abandoned by her mother right after birth. Then she was left with her grandmother Jillian. But Jillian isn’t a regular old woman. She owns a medieval shop…and, oh yeah, she’s a witch. Kate is being trained to be a witch just like Jillian. But, for all Kate knows, the only power that she has is “probing”, reading minds. At her school, Ashpeak High, as a sophomore, Kate only has one friend, Hannah, who knows that she is a witch. But one day, a new kid walks into the room and is bullied by the more popular kids. So Jarrod Thornton “accidently” makes a whole thunderstorm in their classroom—lightning, thunder, and everything else. Kate keeps trying to convince Jarrod that he has powers. But Jarrod just keeps saying that it’s not true. Meanwhile, he’s turning into the popular kid and completely turning his back on Kate, who was the first person to ever even say something nice to him on his first day. Jarrod’s family has a history of accidents. His father is crippled from a garage accident and can barely hold onto life itself. So one night, Jarrod’s father does something that finally convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate’s ideas seriously. His family is cursed. Jillian sends them back into the Middle Ages where Jarrod’s family, the Thornynes, rules the peasent village below. But there is still Lord Richard’s evil said-to-be brother living next door. After being invited to dinner with the evil king, Kate is kidnapped by him. There, Kate learns so many things about Jarrod’s family past, and Jarrod sets out on a quest to save Kate, and completely save the future. I think that Marianne Curley’s writing is very well done. But the story does take place in Australia, so the words are incredibly different and the dialogue style is completely different from the US. There is minimal adult content…but there is still some. So be aware. And since they so go back in time to the 1200s, women were treated very differently and were not respected at all. So be aware of that also. I am definitely going to search for Marianne Curley’s newer books. OVERALL RATING - 4/5 stars. So what are some of the books that you’ve been reading? :) This book is definitely on my tops list. I hope that you enjoy it. But this book was published in 2000 so it’s not really new and it probably won’t be at many bookstores. x0x0…! –Haley :P

Anyway, a piece of my heart just chipped off. :( I'm in the middle of Catching Fire when Peeta just admits that either him or Katniss will get killed no matter what in the Quarter Quell. I know how it ends. but it's still sad that he said that. < 3 *Broken heart*

fungirl123 Okay, so I just came up with a new story idea. (@Lexi - my main character is named Aspen. I hope that you don't mind!:\) Aspen Parker is used to being the girl who’s all the rage at her school. She has everything. An amazing boyfriend—who is the most popular boy in school, I may add—and two best friends that hang on her every move. And most of all, she’s a star. Modeling and musical theater are Aspen’s callings. She’s worked hard for where she is now at her private school’s top-notch arts program in Texas. But now, she’s ready to take the next step to becoming a megastar. That next step is called Harper Academy for the Talented Teenagers—otherwise known as HATT—in New York City. HATT is THE most exclusive school. Aspen thinks that she will still be on top…but she ends up being terribly wrong. Most of the girls here are from uber-rich families in the city. And the only boy that she wants is totally off limits—he’s the most popular girl’s brother and her best friend’s boyfriend. So Aspen decides that it’s time to make changes. She joins the crew that everyone loves. Aspen completely jumps out of her comfort zone just to impress her new friends…and preferably just to impress the guy. It takes getting in mountains and mountains of trouble for Aspen to learn who her real friends are…and who was fake all along.

LexilicousCandy Hey girlies! I recently transferred from Inkpop to Figment (like yesterday LOL :P) and so far I only have two chapters of 1 of my stories up, but I would really appreciate if you would take the time to read/review it. I would gladly return the favor!(I’m not really sure how this whole thing works since it’s my first time and everything but here’s what’s called “the early access code”: 8B95W-XB3X9-IZ18D Though I guess if that doesn’t work… here’s the link! http://figment.com/books/266299-My-Untitled-Love-Story Thanks!)

fungirl123 Yeah, my friend Ben has a first-generation Nook. It's exactly like a real book. The screen doesn't have any type of glow (they made it like that so it'd be like a real book) so you can use a book-light and everything. The only game it has is checkers. ;)

fungirl123 This is my first Book Rave so please forgive me if it’s a bad one! ツThis book is called “Shelter Me” by Alex McAulay. First, here is About the Author: Alex McAulay, author of “Bad Girls”, “Lost Summer”, and “Oblivion Road”, is a graduate of Brown University and holds a Ph.D. in British literature from UNC at Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Under the name Charles Duglas, he is also an indie-rock musician. He lives in LA. SUMMARY—Maggie Leigh just wants to be a normal teenager, but when the German bombs tear apart England during World War II, her ultra-religious mother sees the destruction as a divine punishment. She sends Maggie to a remote boarding school in coastal Whales, supposedly to keep her safe, but also to keep her in line. The school is creepy. The head mistress is a lunatic and orders her “outside clothes” to be burned on her arrival, and the students range from snobby rich girls to speechless trauma victims. But when a tragic accident happens on the beach, Maggie and three friends are forced to flee the boarding school, plunging into the nightmarish world of England during wartime! Now every decision that Maggie makes is fraught with danger…and living to see another day depends on how quickly she can think and act …and how far she’s willing to go. REVIEWS—“Alex McAulay brings life to one girl’s harrowing, nightmarish adventure. “Shelter Me” is a dark, breakneck-paced journey through wartime in England full of twists and turns you’d never see coming!” ~Chris Golden, author of “Soulless”. MY THOUGHTS—“’Shelter Me’ starts out with Maggie on a regular shopping trip with her Aunt Joan in the city of London…but it soon turns into a nightmare when the Germans suddenly begin bombing the place. Maggie and her aunt run until they are left down in the Tube where they think they are safe. But then everything collapses…with Aunt Joan left behind inside. Maggie got out safely…but her beloved aunt was sent into a coma in which the doctor says it could be years until she awakes! Maggie feels it’s all her own fault. So her mother, who is crippled and left in a wheelchair, sends her off to a boarding school where very traumatic events lead. I wanted to let you ALL know: this book frightened me! It is extremely graphic and gave me a few nightmares. Please read at your own risk! But overall, I loved this book! :D Please let me know if you’d like me to do another rave! I’m sorry this was so freaking short…it didn’t have much of a summary or really any reviews online or with the book! I hope you enjoy. x0x0…! Haley <3

fungirl123 (I posted these two paragraphs on my other writing club but I thought I’d share these with you) Writing tips: So, I found this amazing writing checklist on Go Teen Writers (http://goteenwriters.blogspot.com). It’s basically helped me for the past for days in my writing. Here you go: 1) Is there a good beginning hook? Does it drop the reader into the fictional dream? If not, what changes need to be made 2) Is there well-defined conflict and a feasible problem for the protagonist to solve? If not, what problem/event can be added or heightened? 3) Is there a brief description of the setting/time and place? Does it inform the reader without boring them? What changes can be made to improve this? 4) Does each chapter “begin with a bang”? Or does it start slowly, with unnecessary details or backstory? Where does the chapter really begin? Do I need to eliminate things that dull the beginning? 5) Was the chapter compelling? Will it keep readers turning pages? Or was it filler? What can be done to fix this? 6) Did the chapter move the plot forward? What is this chapter’s purpose? 7) Will the ending of the chapter hook the reader? Will they want to read more? Can you end the chapter a page earlier and gain more tension? 8) Are there any flashbacks? Are they necessary? Do they slow the plot down? How can they be shortened or made more dramatic? 9) Were there enough sensory descriptions? Do they seem too wordy? Would the reader skip over them or do they add to the fictional dream? 10 )Was the dialog consistent with each character’s age, education, and view on life? Was it full of tension? Did the character’s “pass the time of day” in any parts? Delete those and reword. 11) Are the character’s actions consistent with their personalities? If not, is there a genuine reason why they acted out of character? Is this reason revealed to the reader? 12) Are there unnecessary dialog tags that can be omitted, such as when only two characters are conversing? Is it clear which character is speaking? 13) Is there any “head hopping” or unclear POV’s? Is the POV consistent? Make changes accordingly. 14) Are there any continuity errors, such as character descriptions, etc.? 15) Are the historical details conveyed accurately? Double check sources. (Note. This only applies to novels set not in the present era) 16) Any clichés that can be replaced? Replace these with fresh intriguing phrases. 17) Is the inspirational element present in a way that is not preachy? Is the character’s faith journey displayed at all? 18) Is there continual romantic tension? (Note. This only applies to romances or novels with romantic subplots) 19) Is the chapter a suitable length? Is it too long or too short? 20) Is all grammar and punctuation correct? **Lastly, when ending the book and that last chapter, consider: 21) How is the ending of the book? Were all subplots wrapped up? Was it a dramatic “leave the reader pondering ending”, along with a lasting impression. Can it be improved? ***The next thing I wanted to share with you was my “Grammar Nazi” (as my English teacher calls me) lectures. I recommend (I know this makes me sound like an English teacher), but use sources…like a Thesaurus! It really DOES make you a better writer to use more…interesting words. Like, if your character is vain, use a better word than just “hair” to describe her looks. Use a word like “tresses”, etc. Or if you want a better word that just plain “happy”, use a word like…”jovial”, “merry”, “gleeful’, etc. Or “face”, a better word would be “appearance”, “expression”, etc. One word that I am SO tired of seeing in English class (when we’re doing writing projects) is just plain “a lot”. There are SO many other words to use. How about “loads”, “clumps”, “masses”, “bundle”, etc. And, honestly, I’m using my little cousin’s Children’s Thesaurus to look for these words. It will be worth it to find a much better word. (Sorry this was SUPER long!)

LexilicousCandy Hey girls! So earlier today I was chatting with some girls on another website called Project Inspired and we learned that we both like to read and write. So we started doing this thing where she posts a sentence then I post a sentence and it was Really fun! So I’m extending the game to you girlies! Here’s what we have so far: Bella stared at the tall gray wall looming above her, a wooden bow gripped in her hand. She gripped the bow tighter and tighter, waiting for the perfect moment to release the pressure, the never-ending tension, before it consumed her whole. The world was silent as the bow hovered just mere inches from the slab of concrete before her, then a shrill cry time began again and the bow pierced through, but alas broke in half, for a simple wooden bow cannot enter a concrete wall. She stared at the pieces of wood in her hands, shocked. Her blue gaze turned back to the wall, wondering what she should do now. Her other hand clutched at her violet dress, she turned and ran away from the wall, just before it crumpled to the ground behind her. She stumbled and fell and her knees screamed with pain, gravel grinding into the wounds. Her dress tattered and torn, she gazed around helplessly at the scene before her, and the tears flowed from her eyes. A strong hand gently spun her around and she found herself staring into the greenest eyes she'd ever seen. Startled and star-struck with awe, she found herself twirling in the field of green that was this stranger’s eyes. Then suddenly everything was gone, collapsed with the wall. She started trembling, despite the young man's firm grip on her shoulder. Her eyes fluttered shut as the world faded to black, but a velvety smooth voice sprung her eyes opened, and she was blinded by the bright light surrounding her. 'She's waking up,' the voice whispered, echoing in Bella's sleepy mind. “Shh, do not disturb the peacefully resting!” a second voice declared, his voice echoing through the room. At the sound of a familiar voice, Bella shook herself out of a deep sleep. She gasped. ‘Daniel what are you doing here?’ she cried to the tall, familiar blonde smiling down at her. His smile momentarily disappeared and he replied, 'I had to come, Bella. My house is gone.’ ***Your turn! Feel free to write a sentence and have another girl write off that! It’s a great way to get ideas, practice writing, communicate with others, or just pass time! :) I’m done rambling… so go! Write away! <3 ~Lexi

mangochick12 hey guys :) one of the most well-known books for kids (at least from my generation) is Peter Pan. I'm not afraid to admit it, I'm absoloutely in LOVE with Peter Pan haha. And I was just reading something on Peter Pan turning 100 yesterday and I found out some interesting stuff about the creation of Peter Pan. He's named after the author's friend's youngest brother I guess. And Pan is the greek word for of the wilderness or something like that. And the author's friend told him that every youngest sibling (even his youngest bro Peter) could fly. And he got the idea of Peter never growing up because his older brother died in an ice skating accident at age 14. Therefore, he'd always be a boy. Being a Peter Pan fan, I thought this was really interesting, and idk how many of u like peter pan, if any of u even do. but if u do, well, u know know more about him! haha

LexilicousCandy *Requested by: LadybugLuver... Thanks for the request!* Book Rave: TITLE- Populazzi AUTHOR- Elise Allen (CoAuthor of "Elixer" Hilary Duff’s first teen novel<3) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: “Elise Allen is a vibrant new voice in teen fiction. She lives in Los Angeles, where she also writes for children’s television and film, and indulges her inexplicable desire to run marathons. Visit her online at www.eliseallen.com” PUBLISHED- Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2011 SUMMARY (from Inside Jacket)- "Cara has never been one of those girls: confident, self possessed, and always ready with the right thing to say. A girl at the very top of the popularity tower. One of the Populazzi. Now, junior year could change everything. Cara’s moving to a new school, and her best friend urges her to seize the moment; with the help of the ladder. It’s rungs are relationships, and if Cara transforms into the perfect girlfriend for guys even higher on the tower, she’ll reach the ultimate goal: Supreme Populazzi. The ladder seems like a lighthearted social experiment, a straight climb up, but it quickly becomes gnarled and twisted. And when everything goes wrong, only the most audacious act Cara can think of has a chance of setting things even a little bit right.” REVIEWS- “Fresh, funny, and sometimes wrenching, Populazzi nails what it's like to try to find yourself while navigating the crazy world of high school. I loved it." (Hilary Duff) "Populazzi is a fresh, fun peek behind the popularity curtain. Elise Allen is a welcome new voice in YA fiction." (Eileen Cook, Author of The Education of Hailey Kendrick) "Populazzi is a smart, fun, and energetic ride through the twisting hallways of high school popularity." (Deb Caletti, author of The Secret Life of Prince Charming) "Hilarious, physiologically chewy, downright Machiavellian, and heartfelt in all the most satisfying ways." (Matthew Quick, author of Sorta Like a Rock Star) "In her first solo novel, Allen offers a smart mix of hilarity and tragedy in this Macbeth meets Mean Girls tale." (Publishers Weekly) "The story unflinchingly depicts the dark and dangerous side of high-school popularity, making it a captivating read." (Kirkus Reviews) "Satisfying chick lit...This brilliantly titled novel delivers exactly the right escapist fluff while remaining clean and innocent enough to appear on both junior high and high school shelves...and it should." (School Library Journal) MY THOUGHTS- Cara Leonard, the main character, is teased and left with only one friend, Clarissa, at her old school in Pennsbrook, Pennsylvania because of “The Incident”. Seeing as she has known the people at Pennsbrook High since kindergarten when “The Incident” occurred she is in a two man “Cubby Crew” The second rung of the that Ladder, which Clarissa devised. The bottom rung is made up the “Happy Hopelesses like Robert, a character which will turn things for Cara more than once. When Cara moves she gets a chance to reinvent herself and she does. Through the ladder process. But there are some consequences and Cara will pay them. I think Elise Allen did a great job because one second I was feeling sad for Cara but in the next sentence I felt her rage. I checked this book out yesterday literally finished this book earlier today around three because I could not put it down it was so captivating. I recommend this book to anyone who is feeling bad about themselves, want to find themselves or just want a good read. :) However there is some make out scenes and reference to “bongs” so if you feel this is not in our maturity level, stay away! I don’t want to push anyone’s boundaries so this is just a quick warning that this is in fact a teen novel. However I still look forward to reading more of Elise Allen’s books in the future. :) OVERALL RATING- ★★★★☆ *What books do you girls want me to check out next? I’m open to any request, thanks to LadybugLuver for this one! ;) XoXo- Lexi <3

GirlyGirl4455 ***Orphan Inspiration By: Rachel G. ~Chapter 1~ Dana was born on the streets. Right under a bench in Italy. Her mother’s name was Memphis. She was very poor. When Dana was born, she knew she just couldn’t possibly take care of Dana. She was too poor. She had just a dime and 3 pennies. She could barely take care of herself. So she walked to the nearest porch, her baby cradled in her arms. She wrapped the baby in her only blanket and set her on the porch. Then she kissed the baby and whispered, “I love you.” But the baby was sound asleep. After all, it was the middle of the night. After she kissed the baby, she gave it a quick hug and ran away. And the baby was left there on the porch, in the middle of the night, with no family at all. In the morning, the baby woke at about 7:00 AM. It was a sunny spring day in Italy. Dana just lay there on the front porch of the McLachlan’s. So the baby gazed up at the sky and waited. She waited and waited for someone to come and find her and to take her into a nice home and live there forever. Finally, about an hour later, the front door opened. Someone came out. They gasped. “Michael, come see this!” she cried. Dana knew it as a woman’s voice. A man came running to the door. “What is it, Lizzie?” he asked breathlessly. Then he saw the baby. “A child!” he cried joyfully. Lizzie nodded. “We should keep her.” Lizzie said. “Well, we have wanted a child ever since we got married.” Michael admitted. “Then we shall keep her.” Lizzie said. And it was settled. Dana moved in with Lizzie and Michael McLachlan. She loved her new family. She had no siblings but she didn’t care. She had kind parents, and that was all that mattered. The house was huge. A kitchen, living room, office, family room, basement, 4 bathrooms, and 5 bedrooms, of which all the bedrooms were upstairs. Dana loved it. One foggy Tuesday afternoon, her dad came home and just sat on the family room couch, sulking. Dana was six years old at the time. It was the year of 2003. Dana had short brown hair with natural highlights in it. She had chocolate brown eyes and was tall for her age. She also loved Barbie and animals. Dana called in Lizzie. “Mom!” she yelled. Lizzie came running directly from the office into the family room. “What’s wrong?” she said nervously. Dana looked from her mom to her dad. “Daddy is sulking,” said Dana. Lizzie took a seat next to dad. “What happened Michael?” she asked calmly. Michael looked sadly into his wife’s eyes. “I’ve lost my job, Lizzie,” said Michael depressingly. Dana gasped. Lizzie shook her head. “We will find a new job for you, honey,” Lizzie said reassuringly. Michael shook his head. “I loved my job, Lizzie,” Michael said, wiping his tears with his sleeve. Lizzie nodded. She got up off the couch and stood beside Dana. Dana looked up at her mom. “This is bad,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. “I know, I know,” said Lizzie. She hugged Dana. Dana fought to keep in her tears. Just then, Michael got up and walked slowly to the office. Lizzie and Dana followed. Michael sat down in the computer chair and logged on the computer as himself. Then he began to search up jobs related to the one he had just recently had. “Why are you doing this, Michael?” Lizzie asked thoughtfully. Michael turned around to face Lizzie. He spoke. “My last job was the best job I ever had, my dear. Printing is just my thing. If I’m going to get a new job, it might as well be related to my previous job.” Lizzie just nodded. Dana stood there by her mother, silent as ever. Finally, Michael spoke again. “I found a job!” he exclaimed excitedly. Lizzie smiled. “I knew you would.” Then Michael’s smile faded. “What’s wrong?” asked Lizzie. She had obviously seen his smile fade. “It’s in Ohio.” he said quietly. Lizzie took in a breath. “Then I guess we are moving to Ohio. This could really be a great opportunity for us. Dana can go to school and meet new friends.” Dana was excited about that. Her parents both looked at her. She smiled. So did her parents. Lizzie spoke once again. “It’s nearly six. Dinnertime! Sloppy Joes, anyone?”

Sample Paragraph of Your Writing Skills (Could be character’s backstory, ect.): She tightens and laces up my corset. A smooth and silky gown is put on me. It is purple and tight at my chest with a low cut and lace-trimmed edges with a ribbon tied in a big bow in the back. It billows down to the ground in many layers with ruffles and the sleeves are short. The entire dress shimmers when I move even the slightest bit and I love it. My thick black hair is piled up in an extravagant curly up-do and on the crown of my head is a miniature tiara that sparkles as soon as a beam of light touches it. My soft lips are even brighter as she applies red gloss to my already full and pouty smile. A light blush is added to my cheeks that gives my fair complexion a hint of color. In the hollow of my neck rests a set of pearls and on my petite hands are pearl colored gloves that go up to my elbows. Finally she slips my heels on to my feet and I am ready. I see him at the top of the staircase in a dark blue suit. I lightly rest my hand on the middle of his forearm as we descend down the winding staircase. We wait outside the ballroom doors as they announce us. The dark, mahogany doors open. I am ready. Questions or Comments: _________________________________________ Thank you!

Tuesdays & Thursdays I tutor 8th grade and younger, and everyday I have private orchestra sessions not to mention I also Babysit, am working on my novels and having meeting with the lovely models who do my covers for me. So I am so sorry if I don’t get on every day or stay on as long but you can see how busy my schedule is… however that won’t stop me from helping you girlies out with anything you need! I also have some exciting news… I got a letter from “People to People Ambassador Programs” and next summer I get to travel and study around the world to places including Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria!!!!!!!! I am so excited I cannot even put it into words!!!!! :) I haven’t really been out of the USA so I am so freaked! So is your schedule packed full too? Did something awesome happen to you? Or maybe you’re in the program too? I would love to know! Also there was supposedly “the worst earthquake on the East Coast of the century” but I was taking nap believe it or not when it happened and I didn’t feel a thing so if you’re on the East Coast (or any of your family) like me I hope you’re all alright!

lilbunny Books are way better if you ask me. A book you can understand the characters' personalities and feeling more because of the better description. In a movie, well, it's just a little more difficult to understand.

LexilicousCandy Hey girlies! So since I didn't really like he way "Black Love" was turning out I'm adding things, erasing things, you know editing it. So for now instead of going on with Black Love I am writing a new novel which has a cover and everything but For now I will not post the title until I am certain I am going to like the way it turns out. I’m only doing this because I don’t want to disappoint you guys like how I did with “Black Love” so before I get your hopes up I’m going to really work hard on this and make sure it’s great for you girlies to read! Once I’m more settled with it and comfortable about how it’s going to turn out I will post the cover (which I’m SUPER excited to show you girls!!!) and the story. I just don’t want to start it out, get some good readers then disappoint them by saying I won’t be posting it anymore. I hope you girls understand but I am seriously going to work extremely hard on this so I should be ready to share it with you girlies soon. I’m so sorry for any of you “Black Love” readers but this will be like that just a little revised. Thanks you for reading this whole long thing and once again I’m so sorry! ~Lexi

You can also post any work you have on there and it will be rated and critiqued, you Just might make it to the Top Projects List! You can also rate and critique other’s work or someone else’s critique. It’s all friendly and helpful plus when you upload your story you even get to create your own cover for it! I personally love the website and so far my favorite book I have read on there is “Compeer” By: eddelune it’s a great funny, romantic novel with great details & description, a good plot and just an overall awesome read! It’s so good it’s hard to believe that it was not written by a published author and instead written by an ordinary teen with dreams just like us! I am currently reading the sequel “Inamorata” and I loved how I read of it so far just as much! I definitely recommend checking out this website and I hope to soon be seeing you latest works up there on the homepage! Don’t forget to enter the GL Fiction Contest here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/08/08/GLs-first-ever-fiction-contest.aspx and I’m sorry this is so lengthy.

LexilicousCandy Ok so I'm going to do a book review 4 all the readers on this club. My first book is THE FORBIDDEN GAME by: L.J. Smith which is a paranormal romance book and it was great. I would give it 5 stars because it was well written, suspenseful and overall Just a great read. It’s a little lengthy, about 750 pages total but it’s three stories; THE HUNTER, THE CHASE, and THE KILL. If you want to find this book in your library I found it in the Young Adult section, there’s nothing inappropriate but if you have concerns you should definitely ask your parents first. However I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes anything to do with paranormal, romance, or just wants to enjoy a good book. My next review will be on ECHOES by: Melinda Metz, and if you recently read any good books (or bad ones) feel free to leave a review below. Have a great day! :) *GOT BOOKS?* ~Lexi <3

mangochick12 Maggie Stiefvater is one of my favorite authors!!!! You may have heard of (or read) her books Shiver and Linger (which are SPECTACULAR!) and I'm starting another 2 book series type thing by her that starts with the book called Ballad, it's looking good so far! If you're bored or can't find a good book, READ A MAGGIE STIEFVATER BOOK!!!!!!!!!

LexilicousCandy Poem of the Day: MY FAIRYTALE By: Courtney Conner “I followed my heart, And it lead me to you. I knew from the start, That this feeling was new. You make me smile, And you make my heart drop. Our love goes on for miles, and it will never stop. It was like a fairy tale kiss, When our lips touched. I'd be something to miss, Since it was worth so much. The day that you leave, I'll sit at home and cry. But it will also be, The day that I die.” ***Notice: If you would like your poem or short story featured as the “Writing of the Day” just leave it on my profile and I will get back to you. I look forward to reading anything you would like to submit, remember you could be featured more than once! Good Luck! :) ~Lexi

LexilicousCandy BLACK LOVE PROLOUGE ADELAINE His eyes were a beautiful green with gold flecks. He looked like a Greek god with a muscular build, chiseled jaw, and probably the softest looking lips I ever saw. I was surprised girls weren’t all over him. He was standing under a weeping willow and it was like he was invisible. For some reason though I was strangely drawn to him like a moth to light. I just wanted to go over to him and do something, I didn’t know what but it didn’t matter as long as I was with him. That urge turned out to change my life as I knew it, and I’m not sure it was for the better. LUCAS I could feel her staring at me; I also noticed how she tried to be discreet. Oh how heavenly she looked with her black curls softly accenting her face as a slight breeze blew by. She was sitting on a park bench trying to read with one leg crossed over the other. Suddenly I was sure she was the girl. She was the light in my past, my key to the future, and the cure for my black heart… TO BE CONTINUED So what do you girls think? It’s from my new novel. However I’m just putting up the prologue until I see if people like it. If you want to read more I will be posting the rest story on my clubs “Bookworms & Writers” and *TogetherForever* and on my profile! Please tell me what you think! Thanks! :) ~Lexi
