Personal Writings- Trust

Trusting is hard, you rely on the person you love most to be truthful, self-restrained, and to suppress. And in return they must do the same. But eventually you find someone, and even though you might be envious and your stomach feels restless and uneasy. Your heart is content because deep down its unquestioning. Some might think youre naive, but you know all is fine. And with an eternity to spend, each day get easier.

Personal Writings- Let Your Eyes Speak

Looking into his eyes and I cant keep from smiling. I see the world, my world. I see his struggles, his hopes, and dreams. I see a fighter, he wont give up. Not because he has no other choice, but because he cant. In his eyes I see us, together, happy. I see my future, my happiness, and my life. Because he is my life and the thought of this fills me with joy. And when I lean back and look at him, I know he feels the same way.

Personal Writings- Lost Love

Losing a friend is the worst thing in the world, its worse than going through a break up. Youre losing a family member, a friend, and a love. They are who you tell everything to, theyve seen you at your worst and still stick around. But unfortunately they are like everything else, they dont last. I guess people can only take so much of one another because people get torn apart all the time. Theyll stay at your worst, but leave at your best.

Book Review- Island of the Blue Dolphins

     Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'dell. I first read this book in 4th grade and it was such a perfect read for me. It wasn't directed toward girls or boys, it had a little bit of everything for all kids. Since then I have read the book many more times and love it even more each read.
     There is a sequel to the book although I cannot remember the name off the top of my head. There is also a movie and follows the book almost perfectly, although most of it is silent as there is not much dialog in the book. It was a fun book to read and I think kids with active imaginations would love it.

Book Review- Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

     Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Words cannot describe how much I adore this book. I did see the movie before read the novel, and I fell in love with the movie. It was so moving and inspirational.
     I will say that the book is a bit of a tough read  The boy, who narrates the book, is very intelligent and speaks quickly with a very wide vocabulary. Often he switches from talking about one thing to talking about another and it can be confusing at times. Although one thing I must say that I loved about the book was it was very visual. Every once in a while there would be a picture going along with what he was talking about much like in the book Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
     Overall if you enjoy reading and read often I'd say this book is a great read that you would enjoy.
If you liked these books you might like EX&LC: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, The Descendants, and Balcony View.

Book Review- Room


"Room" By Emma Donoghue. If you haven't read it I would strongly recommend it to anyone who loves reading and even those who don't. I don't think I've ever read such an inspirational book before. And I don't want to give anything away but just go online and see if you can find a summary of it.
