Personally, I thought New Moon was a waste of paper, I mea, the beginning & end-ish bit were all very good, but the middle really, REALLY bored me. It just went on, & on, & on about how ad she was & how she missed Edward, etc. It was a bit too boring & dull for me, but that’s just my personal opinion.

I’m sorry I haven’t been writing or posting, etc, for….a while, but I’ve been quite busy lately & I seem to never get round to going on Edublogs anymore. :）， but I guess, (since I’m on holiday & al & don’t have much to do), that I might as well write a bit on here. c:, well, I read the ‘Alien Chronicles’, or at least the first book, about a month ago, can’t remember the name of the book either, but oh well. :p, so, it’s quite a good book, I found the beginning real boring, but, (like most books), the middle was quite good. , I cant really remember what it’s abot that well, so you should just check it out on Google or something like that.

Here’s a list of my favourites for now:

The Percy Jackson series

The Chronicles of Narnia

Twilight

Best Friends, (old old favourite!)

There’s a coyote in the house!

And a couple of books I forgot the names of. I’m very forgetful.

So now I’ve read a bit more of ‘Twilight’, it’s actually a good book, I really liked the 1st page:

Preface

I’d never given much thought to how I would die-though I’d reason enough in the last few months-but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.

  I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.

  Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble even. That ought to count for something.

  I knew that if I’d gone to Forks, I wouldn’t be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn’t bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

  The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

Why I liked this bit? Well it’s because I find it very mysterious, you don’t know who’s talking, who the hunter is, or what’s going on.

Sofia finally brought Twilight to school! I started it yesterday and read like like 2 pages. I found the first two pages kinda boring, but I’ve heard it’s a good book, so I’ll keep on reading it tomorrow.

On the right is the book cover of the book.

I live in Bussum, which is in Holland, it’s a nice and quiet neighbourhood. I live near town, but it’s not really busy there unless it’s like, a special time of the year. I quite like it here in Bussum, all the people that live here are quite nice and, yeah….

This book is about a boy (Daniel) and his mum is mentally ill, then his dad goes to New Zealand and his mum stops taking the pills that keep her well and she goes a bit cookoo. It wasn’t such a good book, (not really my style), and it was much better in the beginning because things just went on and on and on.
