Readers Responce: Beastly

The book I am reading right now is called Beastly by Alex Flinn. I am sure you have probably seen the movie derived from this story but if not, here is a quick recap.
Kyle is the most popular kid at his school. Mostly because he was good looking...because the reason definitely was not his personality. Kyle is your typical jerk. So one day a witch put a spell on him to turn him into the "beast" he was was and so on. The only way to reverse the curse is for someone to fall in love with him.
This book is really good so far and it really makes me think. If i was being a huge jerk to everyone, I would want someone to tell me. Usually if im doing something wrong i will try my hardest to fix that something, but i cant if I am totally in the dark!!
I think everyone should read this book. Its a real eye opener.

In Defense of Instagram: A Previous Facebook Addict's Manifesto

Facebook is dead. Instagram has officially taken over. Some people are very confused about his because it is quite obvious that Facebook has twice as many features as Instagram does. The thing is, people don't know that those features on Facebook exist, therefore...no one cares about them. The only thing people really use Facebook for anymore is to post pictures that they can tag their friends in. That is exactly what Instagram is. Its like one big photo album where people can like your photos!!

Now i know what you're thinking...what about Facebook statuses? Twitter takes care of that, but that is a whole different conversation. 

I encourage everyone to make an Instagram if you haven't already. Quit staring at your computer screen and pick up your phone and buy the app. It will be worth your time.

To Tell the Truth...or Not to Tell The Truth....That is The Question

Hey guys. So for my first free post I thought I would begin with something all teenagers can relate to, how much being grounded sucks. We all think "hey, one or two weeks....no big deal", but when you are facing a semester of nothing but staring at a wall with no contact with the outside world except for school...you begin to think. Were my actions really worth it? If I could do it all over again, would I? That is a question that I will be exploring for the next 18 weeks.
As I ask myself these questions right at this very moments my answers are simple. Yes to both. Not that I enjoy deceiving my parents at all, but this experience has taught me a lot. It has taught me always to be truthful, even if speaking the truth feels like coughing up nails, its still important to tell the truth. Take it from the girl who will be working the hardest she has ever had to earn her trust back after she took to it with a sledge hammer...ALWAYS tell the truth.

Readers Response: If I Stay

This summer I read If I Stay by Gayle Forman. So you know what I am talking about, here is what happened in the book:
Mia and her family were in a car accident. Mia was the only one who survived the car accident and therefore went into a coma. Mia begins to watch her body as she is in a coma. She can see and hear everything that is going on around her, but no one knows.
From this book I learned that life is short and we all need to spend time with those who love us most. This can also apply to the teenage frame of mind or acronym "YOLO" because this phrase allows people to do what they really want, because they do not know when they will die.
I liked the idea that Mia could hear and see things while she was in a coma, but I did not like how the author made the beginning of this book very slow. I would recomend this book to everyone who can handle the tragedy of a car accident.
