Okay...so I realised I didn't blog at all while reading the rest of this book. So bare with me, this review is gonna be pretty general because I really don't want to make a super long post that no one will read.
So, Kyle...or Adrian, now has a blind tutor named Will. He is a pretty cool guy, I would want him as my teacher. haha. Anyway, Kyle actually missed school, so he made his dad get him a tutor. He also becomes pretty close with the maid he once was horrible too. Now on to the girl. Well there is two girls, Kendra, and Lindy. Kendra is a witch who put a curse on Kyle, er, Adrian. She made him look the way he acts on the inside, an ugly beast. Lindy is this sweet girl who lives with her alcoholic drug using father. :( pretty sad deal she has there. What is even sadder is that her dad trades her to live with Kyle if he doesn't call the cops for breaking into his house. Of course Lindy is mad about this, and thinks Kyle is a creep without meeting him. However they become friends, and then more then that. It's your classic fairy tale love story!!
Review: Great book. I recommend everyone should read the book, and then watch the movie. Or if you already saw the movie, read the book. They are pretty different from each other. I think the book did and had some better things, but then I think the movie turned some things for the better.

In 10 Years...
High School Students Predict Their Future!! This website is pretty cool because it really makes you think about what you plan to do in your future. Their is one guy that hasn't decided what he plans to do yet. I have a pretty good idea about what I want to do, but sometimes I just don't know, so it was nice seeing that I am not alone in that. I also can relate to the students that are going into a job because it is something they want to do, not because of money. I also could relate to those who want to help others, but their was also one who loves animals, and so do I, and that's where I plan to be...
...In ten years, I plan to be a zookeeper at a zoo. I have always loved and enjoyed animals, but it wasn't until I started volunteering at the zoo as a zookeeper aid did I realize that that's what I wanted to do. I'm not 100% percent sure I want to be a zookeeper, but I am 100% sure I am going to get a college degree in zoology. I know that this job doesn't pay a whole lot, but it is something I know I will enjoy, as well as be good at. I am excited and scared of the future, but thinking ahead and making some plans, is what makes it easier, even if it is a little scary.

Two Way Street (pg. 120 - 180)
Its before the trip, and we see that Jordan and Courtney are in the kissing stage in their relationship. She doesn't want to go to far, because once that line is crossed, there is no going back. Plus,Jordan has never stay friends with a girl he's hooked up with before. We also get to see Jordan in his mom after he walked in on her and some guy. His mom of course doesn't want him to tell his father. This causes drama. I don't want to go into all the details and ruin anything in case anyone wants to read this book, but their is this big secret that he discovers...that ruins his relationship with Courtney!! :( The secret is quite good, however...I don't get why...oh never mind. I don't want to ruin it. haha. Anyway, back to the trio, Jordan takes care of his girl, of course. They end up getting wrapped in each others arms (so cute)
Review: Nothing much to say other then I loved it so much!! haha I kinda suck at these reviews I do. Lets see, the secret is BIG which I enjoyed. I didn't guess it.

The Little Things That Make Me Smile
Off of this really cool website that has 1000 awesome things, choose some of the stuff on the list that would be on mine if I made one:
1. Finding Money you didn't know you lost
2. Living with someone who doesn't mind killing spiders -- I hate spiders!!
3. Using Rock, Paper, Scissors to settle anything
4. Eating Cookies like a cookie monster
5. Roasting the perfect marshmallow -- the best thing ever
6. Getting in a line just before it gets really long
7. When the dog's really excited when your back home -- this makes my day, everyday!
8. Sitting on your freshly made bed and admiring your work after cleaning your room
9. The one person that laughs after telling a bad joke
10. When you open a book to the exact page you were looking for -- so cool, especially in school
Reading through some of the stuff on the list, and picking some for my blog, inspired me to make my own list. So when that one rainy spring day comes, I plan on sitting down and making a list of awesome things!! And I think you all should too. Because if your in a bad mood ever, reading the list will make you smile, like it did me.

Oh the memories...
Children books!! Something each and every child enjoys. Either they love the illustrations (something I always enjoyed) or the story in general. There is website that is a time line of a bunch of children books from a really long time ago. This will be a walk down memory lane for me! Here are my favorite childhood picture books.
Peter Rabbit
Through the Looking Glass
Madeline A favorite :)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Goodnight Moon
The Velveteen Rabbit
Curious George
Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type I loved this one!!
The Cat in the Hat
Little Bear
The Snowy Day
Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you See?
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Frog and Toad I use to read this one all the time
All these books are so special too me because they were what I learned to read from. Some of them taught me morals, while others just made me smile and look at the pictures. I remember teachers reading these to us, and having special times with each of my parents before bed reading them. The list of books I love and enjoy from my childhood is much longer, but these were the ones on the list that I loved so much!! I still have these books and I look forward to the day I can share them with my children.

Chicago
I recently went to Chicago with my family. I've been before, but I defiantly forgot how hard it is to drive in such a big city. First of all, the people down there love to honk their horns! Second, the people down there really need to look where their walking. But beside the driving problems, its really a fun city. There is just so much to do! Its really pretty downtown in the city at night. All the buildings just light up and its really a nice sight to see. When I was down there all we really did was go to a museum (no my first choice). It was fun, but by the end f the day my feet were about to fall off! I really like visiting that city, I just know I could never live their.
It's Soooo Pretty and Cool!!!!

Pretty Little Liars (pg. 20 - 71)
Emily. The sweet girl-next-door swimmer who is a child every parent dreams of having. She doesn't do bad things, she gets good grades, and she is one of the best swimmers. However, there is something about her that she knows she doesn't want anyone to know about her. She meets Maya, a more out-there-kinda-girl. Her and Emily become fast friends after she moves into Alison's old house, but Maya seems like she has a bad influence on Emily.
Aria. The girl with the individual fashion sense. She loves doing her own thing and has a unique style that shows her independent self. She has just gotten back to town after spending the last 3 years in Iceland. She goes to a bar to escape from her family, where she meets the young and attractive Ezra. He believes she is in college, and she has no problem letting him think that. It doesn't seem to be a problem until she walks in her English class and sees that he is her teacher.
Hannah. The popular girl everyone wants to be like. Her best friend is Mona. Both of them use to be un-popular and chubby. Things change because now they are popular, Hannah is dating the boy shes loved since forever, and they enjoy shoplifting. Hannah has a little secret about how she lost weight so fast, one she doesn't want anyone to know about.
Spencer. She is the girl that is almost perfect. She is in all the extra school activities, she gets fantastic grades, she gets into college summer programs, and she is athletic. She has it all. She even has one of those older sisters who is better then you know matter how hard you try. And unfortunately for Spencer, she is home from college and is going to be staying in the guest house with her new boyfriend. This is not a good thing in Spencer's eyes.
Review: So, the characters are pretty much like they are in the show, only their looks are different. However, Hannah seems different then on the show. That might just be because its really early in the book, but she doesn't seem like the girl in the show. haha. I know I know, books and movies are never the same, but you all have to realise for me, the show came first ;)
