Book Quotes

She sighed. "Just because I'm Native American doesn't mean I can track furniture through the wilderness." She deepened her voice:"'Yes, kemosabe. A three-legged table passed this way an hour ago.' Heck, I don't know."

I wondered if what I really wanted for Christmas was to find someone who'd be the piece of paper to my stapler. Or,wait, why couldn't I be the piece of paper? Maybe it was a stapler I was after. Or the poor mouse pad, who was clearly in love with the stapler but couldn't get him to give her a second look.  All I'd manage to date so far was a series of pencil sharpeners, with the exception of Sofia, who was more like a pleasant eraser.

I've noticed this lately

Right  now, I'm writing a book. And it feels a whole lot like reading one. I can't get away. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME! I know it might seem weird, but it's true. It's like, you're reading the story as you're writing. As if, I don't know what's going to happen until I write about it.

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

It starts out with a girl riding a bike to the mall. Her name is Lizzie, and she's going to help her friend pick out a prom dress. Which was exactly what was on her mind when the car hit her. You might think this is the end of her story, but it's only the beginning.

Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S.King

This one is a little... strange. Well, all the books are strange, but this one, THIS one, was especially strange. His father is a turtle; never has any time for him or his mother because he too busy "cooking". But, that's okay. Well, at least for his mother. She's a squid; she's always swimming of she has nothing better to do, and sometimes even when she does. How does the boy handle all this, you ask? He hangs out with his grandfather. Oh, by the way, did I mention he's dead? 

Grade: B-

The Name Of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch

The thing that makes this book interesting, is that you're not allowed to read the first chapter. Nope. The author doesn't even want to give you the danger of this book's secrets, but nobody can keep in a secret. Right? At least, that's what he says. I'm not so sure about it.

Anyway, I'll be generous and give this book a B.
