Inspiring Story?

Ok this is a little like a random post, but I think this one will change something maybe. I wanted to search how I got into blogging & why. Well back in 5th grade our grade got a school E-mail and there was a movie that came out on Disney Channel called Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars  & well it was going to be my last year there and I don't know I had a lot to say. So I like wrote something that I wanted to say & only sent it to my closest friends. But here's the thing they all enjoyed it SO MUCH! So they forward it to their friends. And I would start getting E-mails from other girls I knew asking when I was going to write another blog post! I loved writing them cause they seemed to give me happiness & I really had so much fun. But after we moved....I didn't think about it much. But then one of my friends, Caroline showed me her blog so I started my own! And I forgot how much I liked doing this...it's one of the ways I can write which I love. Well I'm hoping to keep writing and I hope I may have inspired you. Tell me a story that inspired you or someone that inspired you. I would love to hear it! And comment if you have an idea for a post please. Thanks for always reading! <3 Hannah

At my school, FCMS, the whole 7th grade (well not all of them) went to New York City & Washington DC!  I was in a group of 4 girls, Lauren L, Kirra M., & Madison G. then of course my mom. It was a 13hr drive to NYC...it was good but only thing is I wish our bus would have been a bit more quiet. We got to our hotel somewhere around 2 AM & we all went to bed around 3AM  & we all woke up at 6:55 so not even 4hrs! But that didn't stop us....so on Wed: went around NYC then after our lunch we had a Bus Tour yet once that was over we went to see Mary Poppins! It was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.(SONG) Thurs: It was our free day so my group went to tour NBC then we went to Time Square. That night we went to this cold baseball game which I didn't really watch...LOL! Fri: Went to DC & we went to some museums but we didn't have enough time there! Sat: King's Domain where there are rides which I don't like to ride very much. I got back around 12 AM  & didn't go to bed til 1. Sometime in New York....I rode the subway which wasn't bad but at first I was so scared!! Now that may be the last time I ride it. And the traffic there....wasn't good! Our bus driver didn't like any of it, there were people who ran right in front of our big bus I mean do you want to be dead? Same for DC, it felt like we never left NYC! In NYC we saw the Naked Cowboy & most of my group had pic taken with these people dressed up as someone...which you give them money if you do. There was a lot of walking! I am really glad to be home with all my friends again though. I'll always remember the Big Apple City though! Here are some pic....hope you like! <3 

Wishful Thinking

I have finished a book called Wishful Thinking by Alexandra Bullen. If you could wish for a new life...would you?? Hazel Snow has always been alone. Adopted as a baby & shuffled from home to home, she's never really belonged anywhere. So when she receives three stunning, magical dresses-each with the power to grant one wish-Hazel wishes to know her mother. Yet transported to a time & place she couldn't have imagined, Hazel starts living an alternate life with her mother she never knew. Over the course of one amazing, miraculous summer, Hazel forms the most unexpected friendship & falls in love. But will her search to uncover her past forever alter her future?? This book...lets just say...was GREAT!! Alexandra didn't miss one word...it made me want to keep reading & would get kind of mad when my teachers said to put it away. Wonderfully written & couldn't be better. It shows the hardness of not knowing your real mom & feeling lost...but once you get what you have been searching for, your not sure if you can handle it. So many twists & turns I wasn't even thinking of! A MUST READ book!! Got any books you think I would like?(Always on the search for a good book) Comment! And I will post more books along the way....& if you have any ideas of something else I should post..comment as well. Thanks <3 -Hannah 

The Kind of Friends We Used to Be

 This is the sequel to The Secret Language of Girls so this is The Kind of Friends We Used to Be by Frances O'roark Dowell. Kate & Marylin are best friends forever....Well, except for last year when they weren't friends anymore....And except for this year when they both want to be friends again, but just don't know how to! But the thing is, even as they are trying to fix their broken friendship, they are becoming more & more unalike. And that's becoming harder & harder to deal with. Well, it would be a lot easier if Kate would take some of Marylin's fashion advice. I mean hello...ballet flats would look so much better than those big black combat boots. Feminine . But Kate..doesn't want to be feminine. She wants to learn guitar and write her own songs & be different; she wants to be the exact opposite of the middle-school cheerleaders. And maybe if Marylin would just stick up for herself and not get bullied by Mazie ( the MEANEST Cheerleader Ever) into judging anyone who's the least bit different, than Marylin & Kate could be real friends again. The ending is different & doesn't tell you everything, like make your own happy ending. I loved this book cause Kate is following her dream.  I mean isn't that what a person should do?? Plus when Marylin does try to stick up for herself she gets scared,  but hey middle school is that, just that. It makes girls see what really goes through each other minds. Hey if that person is someone you don't wanna give up on then don't give up on them cause you never know when you can become close again! <3 

The Secret Language of Girls

I just finished another book called The Secret Language of Girls by Frances O'Roark Dowell. Back inn the old days when Kate had no interest in boys, she never cared what others thought of her. Now, it appeared, love was turning her into a rotten human being. Eleven-year-old Kate Faber wishes she could talk to her best friend, Marylin, about this. But Marylin is no longer her best friend. Or is she? Kate and Marylin were always the kind of best friends who lived on the same block for their whole lives, and who agreed on what kinds of boys were worth kissing, and who should be invited to their sleepover. The kind of best friends who didn't need words to talk, but who always just knew! But lately Marylin has started to think that Kate can be a bit babyish. And Kate thinks Marylin is acting like a big snob. Somehow nothing is the same, but secretly Kate & Marylin both wish it could be........This book is really good! It shows how even the greatest sisters in the world can fight. Plus it is really easy to put your feet in their shoes. It shows girls can be hard but somehow we always get back together. It is very insightful, funny, sweet, very real, & well written. Read it!! I bet you will love it. :D 

Emily Windsnap and the Siren's Secret

You are talking to the Reading Queen! I have just finished another book & I haven't yet to post this book til now  ouch kind of bad! Ok so I just finished the last in this series.(there are 4 books in total) Emily Windsnap and the Siren's Secret by Liz Kessler. In Emily's fourth adventure, everything finally seems to be perfect in her life. Her family is together again, she is free to spend time with her best friend, Shona, and her new friend Aaron. But when the mer-town of Shiprock is threatened by construction, Emily and her family are charged by Neptune to bring humans and merpeople together again. Before Emily knows it, she is back in Brightport, carrying out Neptune's order, searching for some missing sirens with Shona & sorting out her feelings toward Aaron, yet worst of all? Dealing with her old enemies Mandy and Mr. Beeston. Emily sure has her fins filled! In this final book Liz Kessler has funny, good, & just always wanting to keep reading the next page. Greatly written. It shows just in a different way of course that everyone is the same & we shouldn't judge others. I would say go out & read this series but I would say read the 1st one, then 2nd one, then 3rd, & then this one to really get it. HAHAHA! I have more books to come....:)
