A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. A Walk to Remember is a romance novel. I reccomend it for girls, but if your a succer for a great romance book; guys read it too!
City of Ashes by Cassandra Glare. City of Ashes is the second book in the Mortal Instruments series. It's a great adventure and fantasy story. The story quickly continues from the first book, City of Bones. City of Ashes widens your mind and expierence of their world.
City of Glass by Cassandra Glare. City of Glass is a great adventure book. It's full of mythical creatures, romance, conflict and is a great book to finish off the Mortal Instruments series. I recommend the series Mortal Instruments for either boys or girls. It's a great read for either, and I think you should try it out!
A Choice by Nicholas Sparks. A Choice is another one of Nicholas Sparks loving stories. It's an unmistakable journey for Travis. A Choice is one of those books to cuddle up with on a rainy day.

BP# 10- The Rest of the 5 Stages
I currently finished the book Sister Wife by Shelley Hrdlitchka. This story is about Unity. In Sister Wife the oldest daughter of the family, Celeste. Celeste loves Jon. A boy her age, though that is stricly forbidden in her religion. Celeste is forced to be married off when she turns 15 to an older man. Jon and Celeste get caught together and Jon leaves Unity. He invites Celeste to come with him. But she refuses. Celesete was worried that her father would be angry. She could feel her father's disapointment and pressuring for her to stay and be married at his wishes. Also, her mother was pregnant and her sisters needed her. The 'Special World' Celeste would go into would be our ordinary world. Celeste isn't even aloud to show her ankles that are hidden under her long dress and apron. She isn't fond of the idea of showing off skin in shorts, tshirts, jeans etc.
Throughout the book Celeste goes on an adventure of deciding what she is going to do with her life. Celeste occasionally goes to the river and builds inukshuks. That's where she meets Craig. Craig gives her a sense of hope that nothing is impossible. When Celeste has her first child she decides she must do everything she can to give her daughter the life she lives. But Celeste knows if she leaves, the Unity they could take her daughter.
This is my oppurtunity to start a new life. My only oppourtunity: I do not have to be a mother or wife. I could have a career. I have a choice.
But then I think of my father, and I close my eyes. I see the rage in his face, hear it in his voice. My resolve thinks just thinking about him. -Celeste. Sister Wife. Page 208-209. Shelley Hrdlitschka. 2011.

BP#9- Ordinary World
I just finished the book Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers. Regina's "Ordinary World" is at Hallowell High. Her world revolves around the Fearsome Fivesome. The Fearsome Fivesome is a group of Regina's friends. The leader is her best friend Anna. Anna leads them to bully everyone in their school. They always get away with it. Regina has this perfect life of being one of the prettiest girls in school, being in the popular group, having a good looking, muscular boyfriend and her life being a party. Regina isn't really fond of the idea of ruining people's lives. She likes some of the people they are forced to torture.
The pressure Regina gets in her Ordinary World is she has to follow Anna. She has to do what she says, wear what she wants and live up to her expectations. Regina also has to be a crazy partier to keep up with her boyfriend Josh. Regina doesn't like the idea of hurting people, she never did. But she stayed strong, did it anyway and followed Anna. A character who creates conflict is Kara. Kara has always wanted to join the Fearsomve Fivesome group. She was always rude to Regina, and Kara was always trying to replace her spot. Kara used to be alot bigger; Regina made fun of her alot. Eventually Regina gave Kara these pills to slim her down. Kara causes problems in Anna's and Regina's friendship. Kara is the one who starts the lies and rumours for Regina, and turns everyone possible against her.
" I just want you to understand what I've done to you this year is barely what you deserve. I'm going to make you so sorry-
"But you started out too big," I interrupt. "You went too far, too soon. I can't believe you spent all the time with me and Anna and you never learned anything. I might have felt bad, but you pushed it and now I'll never be sorry.
She stares at me. "Guess i'll have to try harder."
She leaves. I don't know why, but I start thinking about Liz. And then I think about Donnie. I bring my knees up, curling into myself as much as I can on the narrow bench. I press my forehead against my jeans, and then I start to cry. I don't want to cry. Soon there's a nice weet spot on my knee cause I can't stop.
