Some Books I Want To Read

        Most people's goals are either to win the Noble Peace prize, become a professional football player or something else just as rewarding. Mine is to read as many books as I possibly can in the short life I have. But unfortunately, this 13-year old girl neither has the time nor the reading ability to accomplish this. Today, I've chosen 3 books from my never-ending list of "Must-Reads" to share with you.

1. Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi 

Even though I haven't read this book, I know it is going to be awesome. I mean look at the cover! It's about this girl named Aria, who has lived her whole life confined in a dome and has never seen the outside world. That one detail already made the book sound very interesting. But anyways, Aria's mom goes missing, and she decides to go outside for the first time to find her. She also meets Perry, an outsider who is also looking for somebody who went missing, and they become friends. The annoying thing about this book is that I can't seem to find it anywhere, so I'll probably buy it from Amazon. 

2. This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp 

This book is very different from the usual lovey-dovey books most people read. It's about a school shooting, which is something most people don't talk about, let alone write a book about. It's told from 4 different perspectives, which I think is great because you get to see the different emotions and feelings different people go through during the shooting. It gives me a better understanding of the situation and keeps me from being biased to one side. This is one of the books I'm more excited to read. 


3. The Future Of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

The title of "The Future Of Us" is pretty straightforward. It's about two best friends, Josh and Emma, who figure out their future. One day, Josh finds a free AOL CD in his mail, and Emma downloads it onto her computer. The CD takes them right to their Facebook accounts. If you haven't figured it out already, the book takes place in the past (considering we don't even use CDs anymore). More specifically, before Facebook was even invented. The two confused kids then figure out that the Facebook accounts they never made were really the accounts of their future selves. Through what their future selves post, they learn more about what the future holds for them. I think anything with time-traveling or links to the future or the past is really cool, which is why this book is on my list. 

These books aren't really my "recommendations" (since I haven't even read them yet), but they're definitely books I've heard good things about and books I'm probably going to read next.

My Childhood Shows and Toys

Image
                Do you remember the Backyardigans? Dora the Explorer? Teletubbies? These are some of the shows that were popular when I was younger, but there were a lot more I spent my time watching.          One of my favorite shows was Kim Possible. I fell in love with the show when I was around 6 or 7 years old, and I used to play a game where I acted like I was Kim Possible. I stopped evil villains in their tracks, and still attended "high-school" (which was only a couple minutes long).  But, I eventually got bored of this game because there was no one to play with and no evil villain  to defeat.         But I still loved the show and the characters. My favorite character was the main character, Kim Possible, because I thought she was really cool, and I kind of looked up to her.   A toy that reminds me of my childhood was my LeapFrog Explorer.  When I was 4 years old, ...

The NFL and Police Brutality

Image
        It's 2017. By now prejudice and racism against other people should end in the U.S., but the very little progress we made had retreated.          Starting off with Colin Kaepernick, NFL players have been standing up (more like kneeling down) against this issue by taking a knee during the National Anthem instead of what is expected. The peaceful protest gained more popularity when  Donald Trump commented on it, saying that the NFL players that kneeled down should be kicked out of the stadium.          There are many different opinions on this. Some people are saying that kneeling before the flag is disrespectful, which is why they shouldn't do it. But I understand why they would, considering what is going on in the U.S. such as police brutality and the Charleston incident.          Going back to the tweet from Donald Trump, saying that NFL players like Kaepernick should ...

Some Shows You Must Watch on Netflix

        I can't think of only  one show that is a great binge, so I'll name a few. Just remember, these are only 3 shows of the many that could be named right now.         The first show, which a lot of people are probably writing about, is Stranger Things. Even though  I haven't had the time to watch Season Two of it yet, the first season was really good, and I expect Season Two to be better. The show is about a 12-year old boy, Will, who goes missing. His friends and his family try to find him and discover that the government and supernatural forces have something to do with his disappearance. I don't want to get into it too much because I'll probably give away spoilers, but it gets really good.         If you like crime TV shows, the next show is for you. My dad would always be watching Prison Break when I was around 9 years old, and I would always just watch along with him, but I never really understoo...
