I'm going to need some recommendations again, because I’m
running out of books that I bought over winter break. Also, since spring break
is coming up, I’m going to need some romantic fiction books for Florida. Anyone
have any good ones? I like Nicolas Sparks stuff a lot. Has anybody found
anything like Willow? Oh! I just remembered tis book that I read last year
called Breathe by Elena Dillon, it’s this book about a girl, whose sister daisy
is murdered. The whole murder part doesn't seem to matter in the beginning, but
it does matter. `It’s a really good book, sorry that I don't remember very much
of it otherwise I would tell you more! Happy reading!

I am sorry to say that I have stopped reading The Look. I'm
honestly not sure why, because I liked it, I guess I got bored with the slow
plot. I got to about chapter five or six... and the same thing was still going
on. I have however started reading rebel blue, I'm only a few pages in to the
book, so I can't really explain it you, but I like it so far, from what I
understand, Rebel Blue ( I know, cool name right?) is what she sounds like, a
rebel. But when a classmate passes away, Rebel takes on her bucket-list, and
makes it her focus, her task. This is what I can figure out from the summary of
the book cover. I like it so far and it seems like a pretty good book. I’ll
keep you posted as always. Happy reading!

The Look by Sophia Bennett
I went to the
bookstore with my Mom over Winter break to find books for gifts, while I was
there I found several books that looked good, probably like 6 or 7, but I was
only allowed to buy three. So I chose Good-bye Rebel Blue, The Look,
and Something Like Fate.
I recently
started reading The Look. The Look by Sophia Bennett is about two sisters, Ava
and Ted. Ava is older, and has the model look, she’s “the prettier one” with
pretty eyes, pretty hair, a nice smile, and that personality that is the
perfect mixture of rude and sweet. Ted is her "boring" younger
sister, with green eyes, and boring hair, she’s tall and clumsy and is the
"average one". That is until
one day when the girls are busking (performing on the streets for money), when
a model scout spots Ted. Yes, I said Ted, the "boring, average one".
This scout seems sketchy to Ava, but to Ted the scout seems like a chance to
put herself out there. The scout tells Ted that she’s got "the look"
and gives her his card.
This is as far
as I’ve gotten (chapter three I believe) but so far, I’m loving the book. I do
know one other thing from the summary on the book cover: Ava gets diagnosed
with cancer. I think this book has really great potential, but the diction is kind
of ... I don’t know… bland. The author’s choice of words just isn’t very
diverse. Other than that small issue, I LOVE the Look. I'll make sure to keep you posted, Happy Reading!
