The Testing by Joelle Charboneau

Hi faithful readers! Sorry I couldn't post earlier. I was busy today. Finally, 31 pageviews! YAY!! This calls for....

A CELEBRATION!!! YAY!!! :) 

Okay, now down to today's book...



So when I saw this book, I am like judging it already. It only has half a circle on it, so here I am thinking 'Half a circle = half the quality.' Am I a genius or what?

SYNOPSIS: There is a girl named Malencia Vale who goes by Cia and is your typical smart, survivor, perfect, awesome boyfriend storybook girl. She has to overcome an evil government thing and beat a bunch of people in a series of tests.

OVERALL: Yeah, yeah, your typical Dystopian fiction novel. The only problem seems to be that I can't relate to any of the characters. I'm so cheesy and flippant and they are all... Stiff. Haha, Divergent reference!!! (I will review it next week.)

AGE GROUP: I just added this category. I would say tween, teenish is the minimum age. 

RATING: 4 stars, due to boring characters

All right, i am trying to up my Page-views to 40 so share this blog with your friends!

And please comment if you want me to review a book. Happy Sunday!!!

Rules by Cynthia Lord and U.S. Presidents by Basher and Dan Green

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! Happy President's Day! To those of you who had a day off: WOOHOO ME TOO and to the people who had to go to school, I hope you learned something. I'm sorry I haven't posted for the last couple weeks, but keep in mind I am human and I don not have two brains. Recite this five times: PIE PI IS A HUMAN NOT A ROBOT.  Oh who am I kidding. Pie Pi isn't even my real name!
Okay! Now down to business....
Dig the duck!

SYNOPSIS: A girl named Catherine basically has an autistic brother, and she has to create rules for him so he doesn't do anything crazy (like put toys in the fish tank!) In this story, she learns about looking underneath the surface to find a true friend.

<snorts> typical kid book stuff.

OPINION: Well, Catherine's feelings are all jumbled  up and she makes friends with a DUDE. (thunder claps) Not only that, he can't walk, or speak, but seems good-looking. And I quote "...stunning icy blue eyes." Sumtin like that ;) And so in the whole story I am like:

Do you like him?

Do you like her?

It's all like to bae or not to bae, that is the question....

Okay here is the spoiler....

Catherine asks the dude to a dance. And she's like "we're just friends" and here I am thinking, "So do you like him or not?"

OVERALL: 3 stars. Sorry.


There isn't really a synopsis for this. It's a book of facts, but they are told in a funny way and they aren't all

'I abolished slavery'

'I was a founding father.'

Some are funnier like

'i couldn't fit in the bathtub'

If you want to know who that was, you'll have to read the book.

OVERALL: It makes for a really great read, and for those Basher book fans, I'm with ya! High five! (slaps computer) 5 out of 5 stars!!!

If you want me to review a book, please comment below!

Anyway, happy Monday!
