Am back at it!!! It's another series of the Diary of a wimpy kid "the ugly truth" this is another interesting series of the book. I like it because it has a lot of inference. This series is all about Greg Heffley growing up and him dealing with the pressure boy girls parties. Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. But is getting older really all it"s cracked up to be?
Greg suddenly finds himself dealing with the pressure of boy- girl parties, increased responsibilities, and even the akward changes that come with getting older- all without his best friend, Rowley, at his side. can Greg make it through on his own? Or will he have to face the "ugly truth"? I like the book because it has alot of positive connotation.truth story.

The story am going to be talking about is REVIVAL by "STEPHEN KING" the story is based on a true life story and it has a lot of lesson to teach as well. Good luck I hope you enjoy it.
"In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs—including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town."
This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It’s a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.
They said that "this is one of the greatest book that stephen has ever written in his carrer
This is a very good book, I never even wanted to read it but it was my father who made me and it was really intresting

The name of the book I read is "if I stay" by Gayle Forman, the book also has a movie but I prefare the book version because it gives so much detail and it contains so much causes/effect. This is brief summary of the story"Mia's life and dreams of becoming a famous cello are shattered by one car ride gone wrong. Mia and her family were heading to one of their close friends house when tragic hits. Mia's family's car collides into another, leaving a tragic ending. Mia is thrown from the car. Scared, cold and confused Mia is left standing on the side of the road, still trying to absorb what happened. After wandering around a little Mia finds her parents, dead. And then what she thinks is her brother (Teddy) lying on the side of the road. As Mia walks closer she realizes that it wasn't Teddy lying on the side of the road, it was her. Mia's own body was lying limb, broken and bloody on the side of the road.
Then before Mia can even take a step away she hears sirens.
Mia's body is rushed to the hospital and she follows after her body, forgetting all about her brother. Later at the hospital after she hears that her brother was also taken to a hospital, but he wasn't in the same one as Mia so she couldn't see if he was all right.
Later on in the hospital Mia starts to wonder where her boyfriend (Adam) is and then she starts to wonder why she was outside of her body. Then finally to Mia's relief Adam arrives, and her best friend (Kim). Mia is so relieved and happy to see them, but then the one of the nurses on watch wont let them in to see her. Kim and Adam make a plot to see Mia. But it fails.
Kim and Adam are taken away by a nurse, Mia follows them, where they run into Willow (one of Mia's family's closest friends, the one that they were going to visit). But then Mia remembers that the hospital that Teddy went to was Willow's (Willow is a nurse) and that Willow would never leave Teddy.
Mia realizes that Teddy is also dead and starts to wonder if there was anything left worth living for. Things happen to her body and she dies on the operating table, but then comes back.
Her family pays her a few visits and then Adam visits after Willow has a little talk with the nurse. Then Mia has to make the biggest decision of her life; whether she wants to live, or die.
if i stay is one of those books that will stay with you for a long time. The writing was great and Gayle Forman did a spectacular job with the book.
Now I know the description of the book is long, but that is because there is a lot to tell and in the book there is a lot going on.
There is a lot of language in the book that I don't really think was needed, but it showed the parents personality a little so that's why I tolerated it.
The best part about the book for me was that Mia thinks about her past to try to figure out whether she should live or die. And also that Gayle Forman explored this subject and I think what she wrote could be true to an extent. Say if you were on a car crash like Mia was, and your injuries are really severe. Your lying limb and semi unconscious in a hospital bed. Your mind is still thinking, you can hear and feel everything around you, but you can't move. Don't you think its YOUR choice whether to live or die"? My choice is live.

The last book I read was the book Diary of a Wimpy kid (Hard Luck)
The can kind of reader I am is a reader that likes to laugh and whatever I read that makes me happy.If it is silly or has happy ending.And also I like to read information based on reality. When I read, I like for it to have a clearly defined purpose that is apart from simply being entertaining.
The book is all about a kid named Greg Heffley's who is about losing streak. His best friend, Rowleley Jefferson, has ditched him, and finding ne friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. To change his fortunes, Greg decides to take a leap of faith and turn his decisions over to chance. Will a roll of the dice turn things around, or is Greg's life destined to be just another hard-luck story.
