Hey Guys!!
So I know its been a SUPER DUPER long time since I blogged, and the reason for that is because we haven't really been doing many exciting things lately so I just haven't been blogging. Today I am going to do something really different, because this blog is mostly about what I am doing while I am living in South Africa, but as I said, we haven't been doing many exciting/important things lately. So the other day, I was reading Lily's blog, which most of you know if you go to Gordon, and she did a "Book Recommendations" blog and I really liked that idea, so I am going to be doing the same thing right now!! Hope you enjoy! <3
1. The Mother-Daughter Book Club Series: I really liked these, I'm pretty sure there are 5 or 6 (Correct me if I'm wrong Maddie!!) and they go from when the girls were in like 6th or 7th grade to when they are in high school. Personally, I liked the later ones better, I just felt like the earlier ones weren't as good, but all of them are still SUPER good, so you guys should read those if you haven't already!
2. The Penderwicks: OMG. These are the best, funniest, most AWESOMEST books EVER!!!!! I think they are for a tiny bit younger kids, maybe like 10 year olds, but I still read them anyway (haha!!) :) There are three right now but I think there are going to be five when the series ends.
3. KIKI STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you guys know me, you know that I spent most of 3rd and 4th Grade reading and rereading and rerereading these books. THEY ARE THE BEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD!!!! I would tell you what they are about, but I will definitely get too excited and tell you the whole story and thats not okay because you guys are TOTALLY gonna read them, right?! haha xD The author JUST came out with a third (Thanks. I'd only been waiting for like 3 years!) :) I read it in less than two days. I am addicted!! :)
4. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate: Don't let the title mislead you guys. Its a REALLY good book set in 1899 (once again, just let me finish!! I promise if you read it you will love it) about this girl named Calpurnia (Callie Vee for short) who is one girl sandwiched in between 6 brothers. You guys think YOU'VE got it bad!! :D She lives with all her brothers, her mother and father, and her grandfather. He is a scientist, and they start to get to know each other and they do their science-y things together.... ANYWAYS!! Its super good!
That is going to be it for today, I am going to try to blog WAY more, until my next blog, SAYONARA!!! (I know right? Where'd I get THAT?! HAHA) :D Don't forget to comment below saying what you think, or you can email me. And I really wanna hear if you guys try these books or have already read some of these, so once again, email me or comment saying which book you read and what you thought of it. :) BYE GUYS!!! :'( NO I DONT WANNA GO!!!! HAHA :) Bye :)
XOXO,
Leah <3
