Laurie Halse Anderson

Kate has been stupid. She applied to MIT and ONLY MIT, confident she would get in. Now she's frantic and waiting, and so sorry for not picking a back up school. Her boyfriends going to Harvard, her friend is going to Stanford, and where is she going? She doesn't know. When her ex - bully/neighbor's house get burned down, he father, being the nice town reverend, take them in, and things get alot more complicated. Having to be at someone's beck and call is no fun thing. 

I actually was dissapointed in myself for not reading this book sooner. It makes me anxious about my future, even though it 4 year away until senior year. There are some sad parts, touching parts, funny parts, and other parts. It was worth the read. 

Lock and Key

Lock and Key

Sarah Dessen

Ruby, named after her mother, is going through some hard times. She seventeen, and her mother's disappear. Big Deal, right? well not for Ruby. She figure that if she keeps a low profile, paying the bills, and things, she can tough it out until she's eighteen, where she doesn't have to hide anymore. But one broken washing machine later, and she put up to social services by her landowners, and forced to move in with her sister, that she hasn't seen in ten years, who is also ten years older than her. Her husband Jamie and her take her into their rich, large, nice lifestyle, and things change drastically for her. She changes schools, changes her life, and most importantly, rekindles her relationship with her sister, Cora. oh i forgot, the hot dude next door, who has his own problems also. What will happen. duh, duh, duh!!!! Well read the book and find out!

This was a relatively good book, like usually all Sarah Dessen books are. It isn't my favorite of all of them, That would probably be the truth about forever, or just listen, or this lullaby. (my strategical reasoning for her books are that the thicker they are, the better they are). It's good, nice , interesting, and good for people who don't like to think to much, but still like to think. I would rate this and eight out of ten. 

So Very Sorry

Okay, so i haven't posted in a while. I have been super duper busy. I had a soccer tournament this weekend, and STAR testing has started this week. I am so tired also. At least with the start testing i have two day to finish my homework due to my schedule only permitting three classes a day. half of what is the norm. I will try to post quicker, so don't fear.
