2010 Archive

Hahaha readers I tricked you! I said I would post an archive tomorrow, but I'm thinking I'll do it now, and post something else tomorrow! Looking back at the books I reviewed, I realized I reviewed The Secret Series books a year apart. I've had this blog longer than I thought. So here is the 2010 archive. It might not look great, but at least the books are in order! Well at least I try to make them appear that way. They may or may not be in order (from bottom to top, sorry computers are stupid), and also sorry about the different sizes or pictures being really big :) But hey what are you gonna do?




















I Have A Secret

"A secret is only a secret if no one knows you have one" - Anonymous

Oh my goodness, I did it again! I haven't written for more than a month. Well if you must know I have been incredibly busy, as you probably have too. First of all my computer has been broken (It still is but I am using someone else's to write this, and as my cousin said "How are you not dead?"), I have been battling final exams and of course the holidays. But now that the new year is upon us, I felt that it was about time I wrote a little. I have recently read hmmm about four books in one week (plus the last two Harry Potters before that) and I have just started another. So you will be getting a few more posts pretty soon. But for right now, Shhhh it's another secret post!

For the holidays I received books three and four of The Secret Series. They are still excellent books. Book two I really didn't like so much and I was a little worried, but three and four most definitely made up for that loss. (Sophomore slump possibly?) A new villain is introduced in "This Book Is Not Good For You" (book three). The book is all about chocolate, but it didn't really make me hungry like Pseudonymous said it would. In book four things get a lot more serious, and a lot more intriguing. It is the best book in my opinion by far. "This Isn't What It Looks Like" held my attention so much, I finished it in 4 hours! There were a few fuzzy parts in the beginning, but they cleared up in the end. But I must say this, PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL! If you miss one, there are probably a few other things that won't make sense! I found myself re-reading pages. Some of the things in the book were so predictable, but others surprised me. I know I'm being annoying right now, but I can't give too much away if you're going to read them. Just read them okay? Go to a book store, buy all four and read them right now. Only 273 days until book five!!

In all of this secret glory, I forgot to mention the winner of the Wait For Marcy contest! It was ALW, author and illustrator of ALW Comics! He found links to the book on Amazon and Ebay! Wait to go I'm so happy someone found it (I was getting worried there). Well since it is almost the new year, it's time for a 2010 archive. You can expect one probably tomorrow. A new post will hopefully soon follow the archive if I don't forget again. Recommend this site to your friends, or even enemies. Oh yeah I almost forgot something again! There is now a Mixed Up Izzy page on Facebook! The link is posted below. You can follow that or my blog, whichever.
