The Beginning of Prada & Prejudice by Mandy Habbard

    Prada & Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard is a book where once you start reading it, you just can't stop. To me, this book has so much character and feeling that you can actually relate to this book in so many different ways. This book really grabs you and makes sure your attention is fully on it, which doesn't happen in my life often. Anyway, for just finished reading the first 3 chapters, this book is off to a good start.
    So far, it's about a girl name Callie who convinces her mom to spend her summer in England,( and not with her dad, which she does every year) and hates it there. She misses her best friend Katie, is hated by most of the cheerleaders in her school and desperately wants a friend, specifically a girl name Mindy, who hangs around with the most popular girl in her school, Angela.
    In between chapters 2 and 3, Callie brought some Prada shoes, which she apparently "wobbles on the cobblestones, trips in her too-high heels, and conks her head" and suddenly whines up where trees are everywhere. She then stresses herself out by saying...
"This isn't fair. I didn't do anything to deserve this. Angela should be the one showcasing her survival skills. She made fun of me. Karma is supposed to catch up with things like that, not kick me down when I'm down.
Today is officially the worst day of my life. Why did I have to talk my mom into letting me go to England? She was right. I wasn't ready for a foreign country" and blah blah blah.
    Honestly, my advice for Callie is that she should relax see what her future lies 'cause stressing things out leads no one anywhere, and that's the other thing. Whenever kids, or maybe even adults, come into a dead end, why do they panic/stress out? People should know by now that the outcome is a- not very delightful or b- get killed. I may sound like I'm taking the situation as a joke but I'm really not. Instead of opening their eyes to new possibilities, they panic and do something crazy which whines them up to nowhere so take the advice. It's very useful to people these days.
     "If the shoe fits, wear it-and if you're in the mood for an awesome romance, this is definitely the shoe for you," said Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of TTYL. That's just the thing I need to hear about a book, to get me really interested it, alot. Most books don't catch my eyes really often but if this book did, imagine the possibilites so I really should get back to ready this book. So far, it's one of the best books I've read in a long time and I hope you can read it too, to feel the excitment I'm having once your shoes "wobbles" upon it.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book #5

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book #5 by Jeff Kinney is probably one of the most funniest books in his series. I just finished this book yesterday and to tell the truth, i really enjoy it, like when I reread The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. Everytime I found out a new book was coming out from the series, I always found a way to get the book and was ready for the comedy within the book.
    Some people might say that this book was only meant for boys and some might say it's not but I believe that this book is meant for everyone who needs a laugh or two in their life. I recommend this book to people who goes to school, almost everyday, so stressed out. This series helped me through the day & I hope it did for you too,(if you've ever read the series.)
    This book is about how Greg and Rowley not being best friends anymore because of a fight that happened over the summer, his mom going back to college & about some other things that happens during the school year that are really hilarious, but generally, they mostly talk about Rowley & Greg.
    There's one part in the book that really caught my attention.  Right before the book's about to begin, there's a picture that was really unexplainable & even my friends that even saw the picture. I was really curious to what was the history behind the picture until I almost finished the book. Greg & a few of his peers from school was having a Lock-In, which was when his school was a having a sleep over party but in my opinion, it really sounded like a boring party. Anyway, during this so called "party," they were playing this game called "Guess Who?" So the object of the game was to take a picture of a body part and let the other team guess what was the picture. Little did they know that the teachers thought that the picture was someone's posterior. It was really a picture of this kid's bended arm but I started to crack up when I read that part. It was really hilarious and I really love this series.
    I wish that the series would never end, but eventually it has to, so take a weird photo, go to a wedding or something and sit back and relax while reading one of the most funniest books you'll ever read in your entire life.
