Transformers 2


Yesterday I went to go and watch a movie with my dad and sister megan, the movie that we all wanted to go and see was Transformers 2 and WE all LOVED the movie. It was a lot better than the frist one, there was a lot more action, better use of special effects and there was a lot of funny moments. I am telling you right now that if you havent seen this movie yet GO OUT AND SEE IT!!!!

Rick and Bobo


I was so lucky to have an opportunity to review a book by the Ventrillo Brothers, there first book is called Rick and Bobo and I loved it.
Summary:
Ray aka Bobo the happy go loving fun loving brother who is complete polar opposite of his hot tempered but brilliant brother Richard. When Ray creates a "Whiz-ard" he becomes a millionaire, he shares his earnings with Richard and do things that they have never thought of before. But sooner or later Richard and Ray get bored and decide to make one of Ray's fantasies come true. Ray wants to become superhero, using Richards brilliant mind and the supplies from the Vanir coorporation they were able to make that fantasy some true. But they both soon realize that every superhero comes with a supervillian.


Review:
I loved this book, Batman, Superman and Spiderman are nothing compared to Richard and Ray, their bond is strong and its just realistic and funny as hell. There were parts in this book that made me crack up out of nowherem fast paced and has action on every page. Rick and Bobo was realistic because it had explained in depth as to how their super powers came to be, not like other books where a spider bites them or they fall into a vat of toxic waste, in this book it was all pure science. For me this book used all the combacks that I would have used if someone was to tease me, and the events that had occured that made me crack up were random and nothing that i have never thought of before.

Im suprised

Yesterday I went driving and I couldn't decide on where to go, and out of nowhere my sister asks me if I can drive her to Barnes and Nobles, then my other sister says she wasn't to go too. My sisters never read and this was a total surprise for me. I'm the sister who's know to read a lot, and my younger sisters are known to be the kids who watch TV and play on the computer all day. So when we get to Barnes and Nobles I figure my sisters would buy a picture book or some kind of magazine... My youngest sister Kalen buys a manga, and my other sister Megan buys the lightning thief book, I would understand if they would want to buy a book for school, but in Hawaii everyone is on summer vacation already. Kalen would always tell me that I should stop reading so much manga and read something else and yesterday she buys a manga. Megan tells me to watch more TV and all of a sudden shes buying a book. I am completely surprised and happy that my sisters are finally reading and not watching so much TV. This goes to show that people can surprise you no matter how long you've known them.

Manga

Anyone read Mangas? I love to read them, my friend in elementary got me into them and havent stopped reading them since. My dad would buy me most of the mangas that I read and I love him for it, and being my mother she completly disagrees with my decision. Theres a store in Hawaii called Colector Maniacs, they have a whole bunch of Japanese products that are always on sale! The manga books in the store are always 25% off, and they always get the books earlier than Barnes and Nobles or Borders, and I am so happy that its just 5 bus stops away. There are a lot of sites that let you read manga for free, my favorite site is onemanga.com. Check it out there are mangas with many topics such as vampires, action, romance, korean manga and so much more.

Winter Queen By Aubrie Dionne


We all have our reasons for who we are and what we do in our lives, in the past the Winter Queen had been a princess of a powerful family with all the riches in the world. Everything in her world had changes when she fell in love with a commoner, who help her heart. But all good things come to an end, her love then broker her heart into pieces with a great betrayl, which would never be healed. Now the princess is controlling the cold winds that come across the land and those who are in her way geel the wrath of the heart that was once whole, but now broken. To heal the coldest, most fragile heart in life all it takes is the kindnest in a person's heart.

Winter Queen by Aubrie Dionne reminds the reader that everyone has an appearance that we don't want to show others. We choose to show a side that everyone hates so that we won't let them get close to our hearts, to never feel the pain of loss again. Wintere Queen also reminds the reader that we have to take a risk in life, every person is not the same, and that one person can heal our hearts and make something better for our lives. This short story is amazing and will help a person realize that with a big risk comes a great pleasure. Winter Queen was well written and leaves the reader wanting more.

Grounded on the second day of summer vacation

This is the worst way to start summer vacation IM GROUNDED, me and my mom never get a long(if youve read my older posts you would know) My parents contradict each other everytime, and usually ask my dad what time im suppose to come home from hanging out with my friends. He says whenever if i dont have to make dinner on that day. But with my mom its the complete opposite, she tells me to come home around 11. Yesterday I hung out with my friends all day, we went everywhere. My dad knows who im hanging out with and he says i can come home anytime, this time my cousins was with me. My mom never agrees with him on that... I dont do drugs, i never ditch class so im always wondering why doesnt she trust me like my dad. Did you know my mom thinks im a lesbian? Shes crazy!!! shes seen my boyfriend, and didnt even like him. Anyways since i have no curfew i came home around 3 am, and guess who was waiting...the lady who gave birth to me. She was so pissed off, but i didnt really care, i have learned not to care and my friends know i get grounded a lot. This is sad, me becoming grounded so much that my friends ask me everytime if im grounded. So i think im grounded for a week but my dad usually talks my mom out of it, so you never know...you might see me at the beach tomorrow.

Hope no one else gets grounded like me, and if youre still in school...have fun and get good grades
if your on summer vacation and not grounded...save me!!!

Author Interview with Tony Peters


So I am an active member on shelfari.com and have meet a lot of people who love to read books and those who would love to give advice on what book they should read next. Last week an Author named Tony Peters asked me to help advertise his book Kids on a case. To get the preview of his book go to tonypeters.webs.com



Interview:
Tell us about yourself.

I guess I can start at the begining. I was born in Chilliwak, British Columbia, Canada, and I was raised in Swift Current Saskatchewan. I have my youth care worker certificate, and my general Biblical Studies certificate. I love working with kids, so haven writen a young reader book kind of suits me as it gives me a chance to interact with kids. I have been happily married for two years as of May 12(I know I am only 21 but I am proud to be happily married to my high school sweetheart.) I love reading, and have been reading novels since as far back as I can remember, being a published writer is a dream come true and I hope to make a full time career out of it.
When did u start writing?
I think I started writing when I was eight or nine, I am not sure which. When I leanred how to write stories I was hooked, I couldnt stop writing. Looking back they seem really lame, almost funny, but hey we all have to start somewhere right? I started taking writing as a serious career when I took Creative Writing in high school, and I havent stopped pushing onward since.
Who would you consider your writing mentor?

My favorite author was definitley Louis L'Amour. His westerns helped give me the desire to read more, to engrose myself of moments of the past. His work gave the ambition to stive to improve my writing, even now I am still learning how to write, and I hope that I never feel I have learned everything there is to know about this amazing craft.
What inspired you to write Kids on a Case?
my inspiration...good question, I guess that I remembered reading a lot of a mystery books growing up that dealt with really childish mysteries and I always wanted to find a mystery writer who wrote more adult situation mysteries for kids. When I couldnt find any(with the exception of the Hardy boys series) I decided to create one myself, and so began the creation of characters, setting, and plot(all before I thought of writing as a career choice.) The characters in my book come from a combination of my school friends. None of the characters are created from one person. They are all little pieces of peoples characters.
Why did you choose kidnapping as a topic for Kids on a Case?
I figured that kidnapping was a good adult topic that wouldnt cross lines with gruesomeness. Also ever mystery writer does a murder, to write another one would be over-killing an already over killed topic. Dont get me wrong, i love a good murder mystery, its just overdone is all. A kidnapping would also allow the group more leverage to find their own clues. In a murder the police would guard the crime scene too heavily.
What other books are you currently working on?
I am currently in the process of editing a sequal, called Kids on a case: Hunting Black Dragon(that is the planned title, but it could change.) It will be longer, and the language difficulty steps up just a little. I think that it is better written than the last one, and it doesnt include the annoying repeat page(yes i too find that annoying, and if I could go back I would find a way to avoid it.) This one involves more danger and intrigue.

What are some of your favorite? (author, food, color, books etc..)
Favorite author... growing up it was the two afore mentioned authors, but now I would have to say J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, which is kind of funny because they used to be friends. They use imagery so well and are very creative. I respect them greatly.
Favorite food would have to be Lasagna and Ceasar salad.
Favorite color is green
Favorite care is the Viper or maybe even the Porsche Carrera G.T.
