Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy By: Ally Carter

I already wrote a blog about this book, but when I wrote it I hadn't I finished it yet. As I already said Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy is the second book in the I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I Would Have to Kill You series. This book was amazing! Let me refresh you on this book. Cammie is the main character, she goes to the Gallagher Academy, which is a school for exceptionally smart girls. But as I already told you a school for spies. In this book for the second semester of the school year about 15 boys come to the Gallagher Academy. These boys will be taking classes with the girls and staying at the school. The boys are from the Blackthorn school which is like the Gallagher Academy for boys. This is very strange because the Gallagher Academy is an all girls school and has been for years! Cammie was hoping for a calm second semester after her first semester with Josh. One of the boys named Zach is in the same grade as Cammie and he seems to like her. Cammie and her friends are very suspicious about the boys. They do all kinds of stuff to these boys and remember they are spies! There is a lot of parts in this book where I couldn't put down. Everyone should read this book! I recommend you read I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I Would Have to Kill You book first, so you are not confused in the second book! You will have so much fun reading this book!

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy By: Ally Carter

I finished reading I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I'd Have to Kill You. It was amazing! I recommend everyone to read that book before this one. This is second book to the I'd Tell You I Love You but Then I'd Have to Kill You series. Its called Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy. It is about a girl named Cammie she goes to the Gallagher Academy a girl for exceptional young women. (but really a school for spies). Cammie is a chameleon, which means that she blends in. Which is good if you are a spy. Her mom is one of the best spies in the world and her headmistress. Her father was one of the best spies in the world but died on a spy mission. In the first book Cammie has a secret boyfriend named Josh who doesn't know she is a spy. She was forced to breakup with him. So this semester she is trying to focus on her education. Then boys come to their school from Blackthorn a school just like the Gallagher Academy. The girls are suspisious why the boys are here. I recommend this book to everyone! There is not one boring part to this book!

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

I am taking a break from the Princess Diaries series. I am reading I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You. I have just starting read this book. I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You is about a girl who goes to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, which is basically a school for girls that are REALLY smart(and a spy school). Cammie is a sophomore this year and is allowed to go to a new floor. New floor means a new classroom. The teacher for the new classroom is different. Instead of coming on time like all the other teachers he comes 10 minutes late to class! Instead of teaching educational subjects he asks questions like what color are my shoes and what color are my eyes. After Cammie thinks about this she knows what this class is for. I can't put this book down!! The author is Ally Carter. There are two other book to this series. I think everyone should read this book!

The Princess Diaries: Princess in Love

I am on the third book in the princess diaries series. This series is amazing! Let me give you a brief summary of what happened in the second book(Princess in the Spotlight). Mia's mom is pregnant with Mia's algebra teacher! They also decide to get married. Mia's grandma plans this luxurious wedding for them. However they end up eloping to Cancun. Another important event is Mia has a boyfriend! I am in the beginning of the third book. Mia is in love with another guy. But she doesn't know how to tell her boyfriend that. A boyfriend is everything she has wanted but she is having second thoughts. What I like about this book is that it is written as a diary of an average teenage girl that happens to be a princess. There is a lot of stuff that is happening in her life. In every journal entry there is a new conflict. Everyone should read this book. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

The Princess Diaries

I just started reading The Princess Diaries. I saw the movies with Anne Hathaway. What I realized is that the book is so much better than the movie! The movie changed so much stuff. From the title you might think that it is a book all about princesses, but its not. Well it is, but not in the way you think. The Princess Diaries is about a girl named Mia. Mia is in ninth grade. Then she learns that her dad is the prince of Genovia. Since Mia is an only child she is the throne to Genovia! Mia thinks that she is anything but a princess. She has to take training lessons for how to be a princess from her grandma. Mia does not like her grandma! That is how far I have gotten. This book has a lot of funny moments. For example her mom and her dad are not together. So Mia's mom is dating her algebra teacher, and Mia is failing algebra! The Princess Diaries is a series of books. Everyone should read this book if they want a funny but serious book. I cant wait to finish the book and read the next book in the series! The arthur of this book is Meg Cabot. I recommend you read this book or a book by Meg Cabot. I will keep you guys updated on the book!

Where The Red Fern Grows

Where The Red Fern Grows is probably one of my favorite books of all time!! It is about a boy named Billy who's been saving up for two hound dogs for almost a year. Finally he has enough money saved up, Billy gets a male dog and a female dog. These dogs mean everything to Billy. One of my favorite things about this book is that it starts out when Billy is an adult and looking back at his life. I couldn't put this book down. This book is sad, but has a happy ending. Billy teaches these dogs everything he knows about hunting. Billy's hound dogs become amazing at hunting. When there were sad or happy parts I could feel Billy's emotions. I recommend this book to everyone, especially dog lovers! I hope all of you read it!

Mockingbird (mok'ing- burd) Kathryn Erskine

I finished Mockingbird over the summer, but I still have a clear picture in my mind about what happened. Mockingbird is about a 10 year old girl named Caitlin with Asperger's syndrome. Asperger syndrome is a form of autism. This book had a few sad parts and when these parts happened I could feel Caitlin and her dad's pain. A few scenes in this book Caitlin is in school, she has a hard time making friends, but when she meets a boy they have a huge similarity, and in a short time become friends. Caitlin is also learning how to deal with her dad after a tragedy happens.
This book made me realize situations around the world that people have to deal with. I couldn't put this book down, because in every chapter there was a conflict or something that Caitlin needed to solve. When I started to read this book I didn't know if there was going to be a happy ending, but as it turned it did. I recommend this book to everyone. One thing I loved about this book was that I could feel the characters emotions. In my option this book had a very strong message. The message was that no matter disability or not when a tragedy happens everyone is affected. I think everyone should read this book.
