"Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology.... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions."
~Isaac Bashevis Singer
So, there is some good news and some bad news. And guess what? Yup, you guessed it...THEY'RE ABOUT BOOKS! NO WAY! Yeah, so I recently read one very good book and one very bad book. I'll start with the bad one.
The bad books is...is...L.A. CANDY. You know what, Lauren Conrad? I've got a few words to say to you...just because you can string sentences together doesn't mean you are a writer! Your famousness and prettyness will not get you very far! The book is not very good for anyone who didn't get that yet. It's about these best friends who move to LA and get put on a reality TV show. That's about as far as I can go before I go into the deep concepts. HA! Like there are any! Not suggested for anyone.
The good book, on the other hand, was very good. "Westminster Abby" by Micol Ostow is an awesome book. And I don't say awesome a lot. Who am I kidding, of course I do. Anyways, it's about this 16 year old girl, Abby, who gets flown to London from NYC. She stays at a boarding school in London and is there for a year. Over that year you read about her trials and tribulations of finally being without her nagging parents. Suggested for girls age 12- 16.
That's all for this post!
Keep reading! And tell your friends about my blog!
