Battle of the Books

    hi!

i'm doing this thing at school called battle of the books, or bob for short ;)

so there's 20 books on the list and you're in teams of 5, and later in the year there's a school wide contest with trivia questions about the books. the questions start with "in which book...?" and the answer is a book title. and then whichever team wins for the school, they go on to compete with other schools and the winner of that gets a huge awesome prize and yeah!

i'm not telling you guys this so you can compete. i'm saying this cause i love books and everyone else should love books! and there are only REALLY good books in the contest!

so here is the list! these are the ones i have read so far:

OCDaniel by Wesley King
The Nest by Kenneth Oppel
Mayday by Karen Harrington
Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier (GRAPHIC NOVEL)
and
It Ain't So Awful, Falafel by Firoozeh Dumas

and those were all really, really, really, REALLY good!
i recommend all of them!
here are the ones i haven't read yet.

hello there

looks like I haven't posted in a while!

quick recap of my life since I last posted:

April: band trip to Atlanta! I had lots of fun... we got a 'superior' on our performance ;)

May: umm last day of 7th grade!!

June: band camp! also my aunt Becky came to visit from Oregon!

July: ok this month is actually interesting. we went to Oregon (thanks aunt Becky for flying back with us and the monsters named Coen and Cate!!). we stayed with family and did lots of fun things, like staying at a rental house in Rockaway Beach!

August: another interesting month... we started school; sawyer: 5th grade (middle school!!!) and I stated 8th grade, the last year at my middle school, so me and sawyer are in the same school once again... *rolls eyes*. we also adopted Cate! So I officially have a sister!!

September: this month. i can't believe it's almost the end of September already! crazy! umm well we just had school... and that's going well. and next week is fall break so i'm happy because no school and not so happy cause Coen and Cate are, well, crazy.

The play at my school is Peter Pan this year! And I'm a pirate! I unfortunately don't have a line or anything, but my school is KNOWN for good plays (and band concerts haha) so if you're in Nashville the performances are in early December!!

 QUESTION OF THE DAY POST!!!

(this was a question in my social studies class and it got me thinking hahah)
