So far what has happened in my book I am reading…

Ally had a busy day hanging out with her friend with a spell book called “the little book of lovey-dovey spells” and burying Tor’s goldfish. She has a crush on Linn’s mate Alfie and she had till midnight to do a spell for her chance to charm Alfie by the next day, but she was too late???

I know when I like a book because I will get in to it (not literally) but with this book I am not. I think it is too young for me, before I started reading this book I was in the middle of Twilight so I think I will stick to that!!!

This is the cover of the book i am reading at the moment...

Mates, Mysteries and Pretty Weird Weirdness ?!?!?

The book that i am reading at the moment is called Mates, Mysteries and Pretty Weird Weirdness. So far it is a good book, but not quite my type, but we will see how it goes further on in the book???

The book is by Karen McCombie and the target audience that she is looking for in this book is for teenagers but mostly girl teenagers. I guess this because the front cover colours are a range of girly colours like pink, purple ECT. The font on the front covers is bright and bold and colourful. The layout is laid out well because there's a big bold title at the top, then a picture in the middle of the page, the front cover is very busy what shows you that it is going to be a very busy book. The picture is a good size and a range of colours that relate to girls. The picture looks although it has been drawn and  relates to the book for far (lots of girls).

Ally is the main character in the story so far, the other characters are Ally’s friends:
  • ·         Kellie
  • ·         Salma
  • ·         Jen
  • ·         Chloe

Ally’s family:
  • ·         Tor
  • ·         Linn
  • ·         Dad
  • ·         Grandma
  • ·         Stanley- grandmas boyfriend also tor goldfish called Stanley

And I am hoping there will be other grate characters and more weirdness during the rest of the book…

Do i or do i not?

I am not a very good reader. I love it but i hate it, I’m not quite sure. If I do read they are normally quite easy books or just a magazine. Most the time i just can’t find time to get in to a book and read it all the way through.  I haven’t always disliked reading but I would like to get back in to it much more and hopefully this blog will help me to get back in to reading.

I first started read at primary school. I use to go and get a book out from the local library, I use to love to read but i am not a very confident reader so I don’t like reading out loud  in front of an audience unless rehearse.  My reading skills from primary school have gone downhill. Most of my family read, but my Nan always says I should read much more to build up my confidents and my understanding of words also that I would have much better spelling and reading or courses.
The type of books I read are the ones that have a big name or from  a film, but by the time I get to get the book and start to read it I would of seen the film and it fill weird reading a book when you know what is going to happen. If I read the book before seen the movie it would build up my imagination.

So hopefully this blog will help???x
