Frogs and French Kisses    
By: Sarah Mlynowski
This is a great sequel to Bras & Broomsticks. In this book, Rachel
assumes more responsibility than her sister and in the end she receives
magical powers too. I can't wait for the next book, which should be coming
out soon!!!

I Know What You Did Last Summer   
By: Lois Duncan
Although it was a really good book, some of the sayings and sentences in
the
book are poorly written. Also, the movie and the book have nothing in
common except for the characters.

Bras & Broomsticks

This book is so great, and Sarah also wrote a sequel, so I won't be
surprised if that book is great too!!! I definitely recommend this book to
any
teenager or high school student because it's about a freshman who finds
out
that her mother and sister are witches and she's not. By convincing her
sister, the girl, Rachel, has all of her dreams come true!

Infest    
By: Papa Roach
Infest is one of my favorite CDs in my collection. I listen to
it to wind
down and relax. Some of the band's songs have really made me think
about the facts
of life. The CD is a mix of rock, rap, hip hop, and a few other
categories. The
band has a really unique way of writing and singing. It does have some
explicit
lyrics and content.

Mad magazines make fun of what happened during the month. I
think that it is a real enjoyment when you aren't looking for something real serious.
Check them

Three Weeks with My Brother    
By: Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks is a well known author and this book isn't entirely
new. Three weeks with my brother is about him and his family growing up
together, and telling about how he and his brother always used to get into
these fights over girls, school, track, etc. When he was in his
second year of college, he had a bad injury towards his knee and that made
him unable to run anymore. So since he can't run like he normally
does, his mother tells him to so something that he has never done before.
So he tries writing. As soon as you know it, he is a popular author
with many books. But he learns that his brother means a lot to him
and that he wants to take this trip all around the world with him.

starting a new school Sarah discovers two of her classmates to be
vampires. They are weak because they don't feed off humans. But to Sarah,

friendships with the two that can bring nothing but disaster. From the

I didn't think this movie was very good. It wasn't very interesting

Click  
Adam Sandler - DVD
This is pretty good movie. It's very funny!! It's about a man who
gets a remote control that controls the universe. He can fast forword,
rewind, pause, anything!! It's pretty much a comedy, but it did have a
few sad parts in it. Adam Sandler plays the main part who receives the
amazing remote of the universe. It has a great message too. If you are looking
for a cool movie check Click out!!!!!

Peeps   
By: Scott Westerfield
Scott Westerfield is a relatively new author on the scene, a man
whose books always leave you begging for more. You might have heard of
him from his Uglies series, where everyone can be perfect-or not. This
book also fits into the sci-fi genre, but it's set in a modernesque
world that makes the story fully believable. It's a vamp story for the
person who doesn't like vampires, but gets their kicks from stories
about raging diseases. You see, vampirism here is an STD. Not just an
STD, but a PDATD. So much as kiss a person when you're infected and
poof! You've created a new vampire. Congratulations. These vampires,
called Peeps, avoid sunlight and hate everything about their former
lives. Sound like Dracula to you yet? This time though, there are
carriers. People infected with the disease, who've managed to stay sane.
It's people like these who take down the bad guys. Peeps also features
almost anything you could want to know about parasites you've never even
heard of! Think having five cats is putting a damper on your social
life? Guess what folks- there's a chemical in cats that gets into the
brains of humans and makes them more socially appealing. That that dog
people. All in all, this book was an excellent read, and I strongly
recommend it to the sci-fi or occult fan.

A
Walk To Remember
    
By: Nicholas Sparks
This is a great book!!! It's a romance novel and tear jerker. About
a guy falling in love with a shy girl and it has a sad twist. Even
though it's sad it's certainly worth reading. Nicholas Sparks is
the author and all of his books are great. I would recommend this book
if your looking for a good read.
