My Rating: 5 stars We don’t know where he’s from, we don’t know his real name and we don’t who he is writing to, but we know his whole life. A teenage boy under the alias of “Charlie” is writing letters to a “friend” who he knows will listen to his problems. He talks about […]

The Right Track, Baby
Lady Gaga. What do you think of when you hear that name? What comes to mind when someone says those two simple words? I think of the exotic outfits, the pieces of art she calls clothing. The group dance numbers, forever fun and refreshing. I think of her promotion of equality and loving yourself. The […]

Linger by Maggie Steifvater
My Rating: 2 stars **If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!** To be honest, I only got to about page 100 of this book. It failed to grab my attention from the first page. I think one of the problems was that every chapter – and sometimes in the middle of the chapter – […]

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
My Rating: 2 stars Okay. So, I didn’t read this whole book. I got to about 120 pages into the book and completely lost interest. The only thing I kind of liked about the book was the plot. The book was about a girl who had this kind of “sixth sense” of detecting the dead. […]

To Kill a Mockingbird
My Rating: 5 stars I don’t think I can describe how much I loved watching this movie. I got to watch it in school, and I feel like some of the kids didn’t enjoy the movie as much as I did. The movie was almost exactly like the book, but with few plot changes to […]
