So That´s That Really Happened

Summary of this week´s chapters

The Colonel went to talk to Jake but he only told him that Alaska and him did not fight, they only talked a little bit and Alaska freaked out and hung up but Jake did not knew where she was going or what she was doing. The Colonel and Pudge did a prank in memory of Alaska since it was a prank she planned before. Later, they made a theory which was that Alaska forgot the aniversary of her mother´s death, she always used to put flowers on her anniversary but since she forgot she went to the graveyard that night to put her flowers and since she was mad, and sad, and drunk she got hit by the cruiser. After talking to Takumi abot this, he tells them that was true because that was exactly what Alaksa told Takumi before she drove to the graveyard. 

Important quotes

"So I know she forgives me, just as I forgive her" (Green 221).

I think it´s great how the book ends up this way. I think it is great how Pudge now is more accepting the fact that she is not there anymore and like accepting it in a good way. I think in these last chapters the author was putting a lot of emotions specially Pudge´s emotions. So I think is really nice how as a reader you like see how Pudgde has overcome this and in some way the reader too.

"We should do something for her. A prank. Something she would have loved" (Green 199).

I really like how Alaska´s friends really make her feel soimportant. I mean like she died a lot time ago and they still make her feel important and they still care about her. I think what is really great about all of them is how they make this really significant but small details. Like just thinking she would love a prank in her memory is so nice. And also like making Alaska´s memory be something that would really make like sense like being more her style.

Final thoughts

I liked this book so much I can´t even believed its already over. All this time reading this book most of my emotions was that I was really shocked like every chapter something really important or shocking happened so I really liked that. Also, I always remembered about Pudge and his great perhaps and I always thought abou different perhaps until now that I am sure it is Alaska. I really liked how is connected to like teen´s lives and that is like what I really like in books. I think this is a great book and I would recommend this book because it is worth reading it.

It Happened Because of Drinks

Summary of this week´s chapters

My reaction when I read Alaska died.
The Eagle tells everybody at Culver that Alaska had a car accident last night and passed away. When she went on her car, she crashed quickly towards a cruiser. The Colonel and Pudge felt so bad and started to feel guilty. Pudge is so sad about Alaska´s death that he is unable to do a lot of things and he finds a quote that Alaska found that was "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" and Alaska wrote "straight and fast". Pudge and the Colonel try to find out what happened to Alaska that night. The Colonel wanted to talk to Jake to know if it was his fault to what happened to Alaska but Pudge did not wanted. Then, the Colonel and Pudge made a plan to get as drunk as Alaska was that night to try to figure out what happened and they realised that Alaska could't have drove that night like that.

Important quotes

"And Christ, Miles, what the hell is wrong with you?" 

I can connect to what Pudge was feeling that time. Once, I had a day that I didn't really thought what I said before saying it and I hurt one of my friends feelings. I made her feel so upset she didn't want to talk to me. Later, I felt upset of what I said and I was thinking just like Pudge like what is wrong with me like what am I doing? I understand how Pudge was thinking like everything he did was wrong.

"At leat it was instant. At least there wasn't any pain".

I think that these few chapters John Green showed a lot of emotions. His like authors tools if there was one could have been to show the emotions of like Pudge and the Colonel. In this chapters it shows a lot of what they thought and how much they cared about Alaska and that is something I thought was great that John Green did.

Final Thoughts

I think these chapters were really like intense like it got to the climax. I understand more and more the book specially like the book was divided in Before and After and now I understand that. I predict that after this Alaska's death, Pudge will find his great perhaps. Or maybe in some ways Alaska is his great perhaps or will show him his great perhaps. I am really excited to keep reading and finish the book to see what happens and I really hope it has a great ending.

A Great Prank Leads to Crazy Things

Summary of this week´s chapters 

Me basically reading all of this chapters.
The Colonel goes back to Culver to make Alaska and Pudge spend thanksgiving with him and his mother. After spending a great thanskigiving in the Colonel´s house they go back to Culver. Alaska tells the Colonel about the snitching of Paul and Mayra and he gets very mad because he tells Alaska that he can´t trust her anymore. Everyone comes back from the christmas break to culver and Alaska tells the Colonel and Pudge to do a pank to the weekday warriors and as Alaska and the Colonel plan the prank, Pudge fells excluded. They all tell the Eagle they were away so he doesn´t suspect the prank was from them. The prank was to light up fireworks so the Eagle would go see who it was and then the Colonel would send letters to the weekday warrior´s parents saying that their childs are failing the classes. They did it successfuly. The next day they talked and drank and then they slept in a barn and Pudge shares sleeping bag with Lara and they kiss and she ends up being his girlfriend. The next day at night Alaska, Pudge and the Colonel drink to celebrate their prank and they get very drunk and Alaska ends up making out with Pudge. When Alaska is asleep, Pudge tells her that he is in love with her and then she tells the Colonel and Pudge to distract the Eagle so she can leave and they distract the Eagle and Alaska leaves drunk and crying drunk.

Important quotes

"In the dark, I could make the outline of her face and her large, round eyes blinking down at me, her eyelashes almost fluttering against my forehead" (Green 122).

I think this quote is like so romantic and beautiful. Is so nice how the author uses imagery to describe in a really nice way Lara. It shows how much Pudge loves her. The only question I have is why did Pudge did this if he was in love with Alaska?

"As she slept, I whispered ´I love you Alaska Young´" (Green 131).

Now in this quote it clearly shows that Pudge loves Alaska. I was so confused before with Lara but now I think things are clear. Although I am still confused. What is going to happen with Lara? What is going to happen with Alaska?

Final Thoughts

I am soooo shocked with everything that happened in this chapters. I feel like this is the high peek of the book. I can´t wait to continue reading the book and see what happens. I can´t believe that Pudge and Alaska maked out omg. And I also think is so dumb how Alaska just left, what is going to happen now? I predict that Alaska would come back because I think Alaska is also in love with Pudge.
this is me after reading this chapters

Pudge Clearly Loves Alaksa

Summary of this week´s chapters

How much I want Pudge and Alaska to be together
In this week, the weekday warriors try to make a truce with the Colonel and Pudge but since the colonel is very mad they declined. Later, Pudge and his friends went to smoke on their usual secret place but the Eagle (their supervisor) caught them and they go to like a jury to decide their punishment. Alaska and the Colonel take the blame so they are punished 10 hours of community service. Alaska plans a triple and a half date, Alaska and her boyfriend(Jake), Pudge and Lara (who is a russian student Alaska wants Pudge to be with), the Colonel and his girlfriend(Sara) and Takumi (one of Pudge´s friends) he goes alone. They went to see a basketball game and Pudge gets hit in the face and he gets a concussion so he goes back to his room and when he wakes up, the Colonel tells Pudge that Sara dumped him. The weekday warriors played a prank on Alaska that was flooding her room and ruining her stuff so later she and Pudge plan a payback prank. Takumi tells Pudge that the on e who ratted out Mayra and Paul was Alaska because if she didn´t she was going to get kicked out of Culver Creek. Alaska conviced Pudge to stay with her at Culver Creek on Thanksgiving vacactions and they spent a lot of time together and Pudge felt more in love with her. 

Important quotes


"I should have been nicer to her. I don´t know. It´s sad" (Green 66).

I think this quote is such a grat example of characterization. In the book you infeer a lot about the Colonels personality. Like at the begining of the book you think the Colonel is pretty much careless about almoat everything. After reading this quote you can see how the Colonel is very emotional and fragile and he does show emotions. Because Sara was someone he didn´t loved that much but still he is very sad and everything.

"How could I abandon my parents, who were nice enough to pay for my education at Culver Creek, my parents who always loved me, just because I maybe liked some girl with a boyfriend?" (Green 78).

I think this quote is so cuteee! Is so amazing how Pudge decides he loves so much Alaska that he is staying for her. Like not being with his parents and in home that he wanted just for her. I think Alaska should have appreciated this a lot because not every guy does this.


Final thoughts

This book is so relatable and I like that so much. Like I had heard a lot about Culver and I can´t belive it was also in this book. When I saw first this book I didn´t thought it was going to be so amazing. I predict and I reallyyyy want for Alaska and Pudge to be together. If that happens my only wonder is how is Alaska and Jake are going to break up. I am so excited to continue reading.

Searching a Great Perhaps

Looking for Alaska


Summary of this week´s chapters

This is the new book I am reading and it is about this boy, Miles Halter, who goes to Culver Creek (a boarding school) to search for his great perhaps. He meets his new rommate who is Chip Martin but there they called him "The Colonel". The Colonel introduces Culver to Miles and gives him a nickname which is Pudge. The Colonel then introduces Alaska to Pudge and he sorts of fells in love with her. In Culver, they divided themselves between Weekday Warriors (the rich people) and the normal people (normal economic class). The Colonel hated the Weekday Warriors although he has a weekday warrior girlfriend.The people on Culver liked to smoke although it was not allowed and Pudge did not liked it, on of his hobbies was knowing the people last words. One day, the weekday warriors take Pudge to make a prank they do to all newcomers but they tied him up and he could have died and the reason was that he hanged out with the colonel and the colonel supposedly ratted up a weekday warrior couple that were kicked out, Paul and Mayra, but its not true so the Colonel tries to find out who was and who incriminated him.

My face figuring out Alaska´s personality.


 Important quotes 

"And his last word were´I go to seek a great perhaps. That´s why I am going" (Green 5).

I think is so increidible how Miles is so passionate to find his great perhaps. I like how the author uses indirect characterization to show how Miles is passionate and a dreamer. I wish I could be so passionate about something like Miles. I think I want to find that great perhaps but first I need to know more about what it means.

"Y´all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die" (Green 44).

I think that what Alaska said here is very deep. I think what she is trying to say is that maybe she is dying her own way by smoking. Or maybe she is trying to say that she doesn´t like to smoke and she only smokes to maybe escape from reality. I think that later when Alaska´s personality starts to reveal more this quote would be more clear.

Final thoughts

I really like this book since is like a teen book. Since is a teen book like I can relate a lot more things. I also like that the perspective from where the story is told is from Miles. By having Pudge as the narrator we can see more of his feelings and actually feel like I am part of the book and I am living the story. This is actually like one of the firsts books I can concentrate on and not think about other things.
This is me reading how cute Pudge is.

Now Everything Makes Sense

Summary of this week´s chapters


They start their trip and everything was perfect and all their schedule was on time. While they were on the road, Lacey and Radar were asleep and Q was driving and Ben was keeping him company and then they saw 2 cows and there was no way out so they thought they were going to crash and die but Ben gets control and saves everyone although Q gets a little injured. On hour 19 of their trip they arrived in NYC. Radar starts to drive really slowly, they see a barn and Q thinks that may be Algoe´s general store and Lacey sees Margo´s car. They enter to the barn and they start to search for her and Ben tells Q she is in a corner, the finally found her! She looked different and she was in a corner writting on her notebook and she did not see them but then Radar said Margo and she was very surpsised like Q. When Margo saw them she didn´t act happy or excited she just acted like nothing happen and that she didn´t care they found her.Lacey and Margo got into a fight because Margo was being mean to her so Lacey, Ben, and Radar went outside but Q stayed and talked to Margo.Margo started to act mean towards Q and again as if she didn´t care he did a lot of work and effort to find her and they got into a fight but then she was sorry she acted that way and were in a good position again. Margo tells Q that what she wrote on her notebook was a story she wrote when she was in fourth grade and admitted she liked Q. Later, Margo explained the reason why she left and all the clues and her trip and everything to Q. At the end, Q and Margo kiss and Margo aks Q to go to NYC with her but he declines, they kiss again and they decide to calñl, message, write etc., to eachother and meet again.

When I read Margo and Q went different ways I thought about this quote.

Important quotes

"We´re standing outside in the parking lot of a single-story motel when the good-byes become unavoidable".

In this part of the story I was really hooked into the book. I couldn´t believe Margo and Q were going to say goodbye. I felt like it happened to me. This also reminds me of a t.v series I watched called The Vampire Diaries. In the series, Damon and Elena have to say goodbye like Margo and Q. It is so emotional because you don´t think that was ever going to happen.



This is the scene of The Vampire Diaries I relate to with Paper Towns.






"I understand now that I can´t be her and she can´t be me".

I really liked here that John Green was very original. Like a lot of books show the couple as if they like common things, like they want what the other ones but not in this book. It is interesting to see how 2 characters that are so opposite are so great together. I really think this made the book so much better. Also, John Green describes what the characters think and want so good that you can really picture them and see them like real people.

Final thougts

I loved this book soooo much. I resally lke how John Green wrote this book it was so good that I could imagine everything being true like a movie. I recomend this book to everyone is a reat book that no one should miss it. Most of all what I really liked was the ending. I liked it so much because it is not the typical ending in which you predict what happens, it surprises you. Like I predicted they would find Marg and go back to their home and Q and Margo would be together and eeverything woulod go back to normal but it was a completely different thing and I got so surprised. Once again, I love the book!!!!

Could it Be Algoe?

Summary of this week´s chapters


Q arrived to the party but Ben was not ready to home so Q waited him. Later, it was 5 am so Q had to take Ben to his house but Ben was really drunk. The next day, Q and Radar were still searching about Margo after Q told him about the new information he discovered at the Troll Holes. The Troll Holes were in a minimall. It was finals week so after that exams day, Q, his friends and Lacey decided to go to the minimall. When they were in the minimall, they saw three people and this people were Gus (who was a segurity guy who has friends with Margo) and two of Gus´ friends. Margo used to break into the minimall before with Gus and his friends and Gus told the guys that Margo used to take pictures, sit down and analyze, write in her notebook etc., about the minimall. Another day, Q, his friends and Angela went to the minimall and they found a map with pins of possible locations that Margo left but they were not exact so finally Q analyzes the map and he gets to the conclusion she might be in NYC. Later, Q, his friends, and Lacey create a groupchat and they were investigating about places in NYC that Margo might have been in but Radar has a prediction she might be in the graduation day. On the graduation day, Q´s parents gave Q a graduation present which was a minivan of his own, he was super excited. He later searched for NYC and he found something about a paper town named Algoe which was a ficticious town with 0 population. There were comments on the page about people who have been in Algoe and Q noticed one comment that said that until June 29 the population would be 1. When Q noticed it was from Margo he was so happy because he knew she was alive and although his graduation was that day, Q went to Algoe in a 24 hour trip in a search of Margo with his friends and Lacey. The first hour they stopped at a gas station to get food and to get the calculations of how much time they had to spend at each stop and things like that for the trip.
When I saw Margo´s comment about Algoe

Important quotes


"The town was paper, but the memories were not".

I analyzed this quote but I also relate it to my life. I analyzed that its true like things can be fake but what you have lived with them are not. I relate this with my life with people. Like I have experienced having friendships with a lot of fake people but the memories, experiences and lessons I get from them actually teached me something valuable about life. And also not just a lesson but also they showed me someone I don´t want to be and like mistakes I have made. 

"This was the first time in my life that so many things would never happen again".

I can make a connection to something that my brother told me once. When my brother graduated from high school he was so sad. I asked him why he was so sad and he told me that it was so hard to leave something he did almost his entire life every day like to go to school and see his friends and go to class and things like that. He told me to apreciate a lot my years in school because I would later miss them. So when I read this about Q I could really understand how he really felt. 

Final thoughts


The end of this book is so near! I have enjoyed this book so much I can even say is one of my favorites. Although I am very happy because there is still one more adventure before the book ends. I predict that they will find Margo in Algoe and I hope Margo goes back to leave in Orlando. I really want to know what happens next I am so excited!

How I feel for 1 more adventure

The True Meaning of a Paper Town

Summary of this week´s chapters


Lacey (Margo´s friend who she thought was awfull) talks to Q and Ben and she ends up going to prom with Ben. Q read the poet from the book that Margo left and she left a clue on Q´s door and it had an adress from the day she left, 8328 bartlesville Avenue, the avenue was a building. It was Q´s chance to see Margo before prom and go to prom with her, that was Q´s dreams. The next day Q and his friends arrived at the adress that was a pseudovision which is a subdivision that is not finished and has been abandoned and it looked like a place to die. They went inside the building and they found a library with some holes that were called Troll Holes. In one of them they found a grafitti on the wall which Q knew it was from Margo that said "You will go to the paper towns and you will never come back." Q started to research about paper towns and he found out a paper town is a pseudivision then he started to look for a list of possible pseudivisions she might be in. Is prom day, Radar and Ben are busy because of prom but Q does not care about prom so he goes to search for Margo and he finds her nailpolish from the night she spent with Q, he also finds some eating bars and a blanket that smelled like Margo so Q was sure Margo was living there on the Troll holes and Q was going to spend the prom night there in the Troll Holes. Q went to the library that was there and found a book that Margo had already read about all the attractions around the world that a person could go to so Q thinks that maybe Margo spent a night there and then hit the road again. Ben calls Q at 3 am to ask him pick him up at a party. Q at first denied but Ben sounded so drunk that Q accepted because he also thought that if Margo was going to the Troll Hole she might have already got there but she didn´t so he went to the party to pick up Ben.
My reaction by how hard Q tries to search for Margo.


Important quotes

"In the end, the rats didn´t matter, not really, because I was in a place where Margo had been alive". 

In this quote what I noticed more was how sweet Q is. He cares so much for Margo is so sweet! Is like he only thinks about her and I think that is what the author is trying to show. The author is using indirect characterization on Q by his actions. By noticing how Q keeps Margo on his mind all day, it shows how romantic he can be.

"I needed to discover what Margo was like when she wasn´t been Margo".

I like this quote because it shows how even Q analyzes everything. He started to understand the poem like not so literal. I think the author made this because he maybe wants the reader to also analyze and not read everything so literal. To be more like Q, to learn a lesson from this book.

Final thoughts


I like so much this book! Is like every week there are new surprises and so much clues that make the book spo interesting. I think is so cool how Margo planned everythingt and every clue so good that you have to think and analyze everything so much. I predict Q will find her with the clues but I thought he was going to find her before prom. I hope this book keeps being so great as is has been so far.

How Margo makes me think about her clues.

Where is Margo?

Summary of this week´s chapters

Margo and Q started to finish their tasks. Task #8 was leaving a dead fish on Margo´s awfull friend. Task #9 was to shave one eyebrow of Q´s enemy. Task #10 was to go to the top of a big building and see the city and Margo says Orlando is a paper town city. And the last task was to break into Sea World were they danced as Q fell more in love with Margo but as the night ended she says something about missing Q. The next few days, Margo doesn´t asist to school and Q starts to worry and wonder why she is missing. One day, Q goes to the kitchen and finds Margo´s parents and a detective. They tell Q that Margo ran off from home. Margo´s parents tell Q that when Margo ran off her home before she left little clues but they did not exactly said where she was. Another day, Q, Ben, and Radar (Q´s friends) find a poster of Woody Guthrie on Margo´s window. They think is a clue so they go to Margo´s room to keep looking for clues. They find the next clue which was an album with the song "Walt Whitman niece" which leds to the next clue which is a book written by Walt with quotes highlited. Q figures out he has to continue finding this cues to find Margo. 
This is how I feel about this few chapters....













Important quotes

"You see how fake it all is. It´s not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It´s a paper town."

I like this part because you can think deep about what Margo analyzed from the city. Also, coming from Margo you can infeer she knows and I guess she is tired of things that are like plastic, fake, like people. When I read this I felt like i did understand Margo´s fellings and thoughts. I can make I connection to me because I also see how fake nd plastic things can be and i don´t like when things are like that.

"Margo´s blue blue eyes blinked and she looked impossibly beautiful right then, her jeans wet agains her legs, her face shining in the gray light."

I really like how the author uses imagery here. When I read this part I could picture a Margo in my head and also the scene. The author describes so well that the book comes into live. I also really likje how the author makes Q say this things about Margo because you can see the very romantic part about Q and how he feels about Margo.

Final thoughts

I enjoy so much reading this book because it is full of surprises. I like the part about the clues and I am excited to know what clues Margo has left. I oredict that Q is going to find her but is going to take a lot of time to find her. I hope this book continues to be as good as it is right now. 

This is how the book has gotten me so far....

11 Tasks in One Night

                                        Paper Towns 


Summary of this week´s chapters

This time I am reading the book called Paper Towns by John Green. So far, this book is amazing and this is what has happened so far. Q (Quentin) is a teen who is the neighboor of the most beautiful and popular girl that is Margo Roth Spiegelmen. They were really close friends when they were little but now that they are seniors they are almost strangers. Prom is coming soon and Q doesn´t have a date and he is in love with Margo but she has a boyfriend (Jason). Even Radar (Q´s friend) has his girlfriend Angela to go to prom with him. One random night, Margo hits Q´s window like she did when they were little. Q was really confused since they were super distanced and Margo told him she has 11 things to do on that night so she asked Q to be his companion and he agreed. The 11 things were for a prank to Jason since he cheated on Margo with her best friend. So we are on task 8 and so far they bought stuff for the prank, embarrased Jason, left a note to Margo´s best friend and Jason,and thanked the one who told Margo about the cheating. 






My face when I read about Margo´s revenge.






Important quotes

"When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you 
can´t really fully and honest take those back you know?"

I think that what Margo is saying here is right and you can like reflect on the quote. Is like I am getting new learnings from the book and that is great. When Margo says this you can see her personality. You can see that she is original and she has her own beliefs. She reflects on what she says before saying it.

"The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle."

This is how the book starts and I think this is a really good start. When I read this I thought this book is going to show something about miracles. I agree on this because I also think everyone gets a miracle. Can be small or big but it´s a miracle. I can also make a connection because once my father also told me in life something is our miracle.

Final thoughts

I think so far this book is amazing! I am so hocked to this book because is really interesting and is a fun book. I also like it so much since is like about teens life and I understand it and I can make conections. I predict that they will be able to make the 11 tasks but maybe they will get caught making one of them. I can´t wait to keep reading this amazing book!

Killer is Still Out There....

Summary of this week´s chapters


Sutton and Garrett were arguing and Garrett brought Thayer into the conversation saying that he liked Sutton but they got into a fight and Thayer ran away. TLG made a camp trip after homecoming, as they were leaving the Twitter twins approached the car and Emma did not wanted them to come but the rest of TLG had invited them without telling Emma. As they were on their way, Lily and Gabi got into a huge fight and Lily decides to take a cab to her house and Gaby goes to camp with TLG. When they arrived, they went hiking and started to play Two Truths and a Lie. We discovered Madeline said something about knowing where Thayer was and why he left but we don't know if that is true or a lie. Charlotte kissed her date, Gaby said something about touching a dead body body but don't know if that is a true or a lie and Emma didn't knew how to lie fast. Gaby tried to make Emma fall hiking but she felt instead!Emma felt lots of guilt since she thought it was her fault. All TLG went searching for Gaby and Emma found her. When Emma supposedly found "Gaby"she found out it was Lily and that she was alone with both Twitter Twins that were her sister's possible killer! Sutton remember what happened after the train prank. They were at the hospital and the doctors said Gaby had a seizure becuase of epilepsy but she is fine and then Lily threatens Sutton with a pay back. All the event with Gaby and Lily was a prank!!! They planned it for weeks so the Twitter were innocent but the killer was still out there! The Twitter Twins entered TLG and went back home but there were so many unanswered questions now like how crashed Emma a light on her head? Lastly, Emma and Ethan talked abou Twitter Twins and knew about a rumor that Sutton killed someone with her car and connects with the car in the impound. Emma heard scaring sounds and went to look and it was.... THAYER!

Important quotes...

"'Run Emma!' I screamed at my sister. "Get out of there!'" (Shepard 269).

I think this quote shows the love and care Sutton has for Emma. I also think it shows ow dangerous this siruation was. When I read this I really got into the story. All the readers think of the scenario and everythig. It makes the environment more real and scary.

"He would've done anything for you"(Shepard 245).
I think Emma got really sensitive in this quote and also Sutton. I think If I was Emma I would feel bad and guilty. The autjor does this in a way to show how bad Emma was spending prom.

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed a lot this book, hope I can read another book like this in the future. I like how the ending was different and surprising. The author really knew how to make a great story with lots of suspense. Hope in another book there will be lots of interesting topics. Really really loved this books,

Homecoming is Going to be BIG

Summary of this week's chapters

Finally the real train prank is known. Gaby gets a seizure after the prank and the ambulance comes. Lili starts attacking Sutton but Sutton gets stressed and dennies the fault to the cops. Lili gets in an argument with Sutton but TLG decide to help Sutton with her lie in the cops report. Back to the story, Emma wakes up on the enfermery because on the homecoming practice a light crashed on her head. Before this happened, Emma noticed a threating message on the board and she believes the Twitter Twin's wrote it and throw the light to her head. Later, Emma and Ethan were looking for clues in mesages and they found out the Twitter Twins had private Twitter account in which they talked to each other but nobody knew about it. Ethan invited soemone else to homecoming instead of Emma since he friendzone him. Emma thought about picking her car from the impound and the Twitter Twins gave her a ride and it was creepy. When she got there it said someone picked her car on August 31 but it obviously was not Sutton or Emma. As the TLG were getting ready for homecoming, the Twitter Twins went to Charlotte's house were they were getting ready. Emma discovered there that the Twins took out their private twitter accounts so she thinks the twins know she knew about the accounts. Emma told Ethan about the accounts. Garrett went to homecoming with Nisha! Emma finds out Madeline once smoke and her father hurt her a lot and this happened on August 31 that's why Madeline called Sutton that night. Emma was very supportive with this and tries to find a solution. Garrett asks Emma to talk and they talk about their break up and he knows about Ethan and Garrett wanted to be with Sutton again but Emma rejected him.
My face when Garrett said he wanted to be again with Sutton

Important quotes

"If there is something wrong with my sister, if she doesn't make it, i'm going to kill you" (Shepard 188). 

This quote really shows how creepy Lili can get with her messages. I think the author made this messageso scary on purpose to later emphasize the idea that the Twitter Twins can be the killers. This also akes the reader inference that the Twitter Twins could be the killers because of what happened to Gabby. Once I read this I could easily make a connection to the threats that the killer gives Emma.

"I didn't want to tell you this when you guys were going out, but I think Garrett dragged you down." (Shepard 236).

I can make a connection to my life with my friends. We always try to make ourselfs feel better and by doing that we tell the truth. We always end up telling the truth to eachother and we try not to keep a lot of secrets with eachother. This quote shows how supportive friends are and I think my friends are the most supportive ones.

Final thoughts
So far I think the real killers are the Twitter Twins but that surprised me a lot, I never thought it was going to be them. I predict the author will give us more clues to find out and be sure who the real killer is. But who knows, maybe that is what the author wants us to believe but is not true. I just hope this time I really get to know who the real killer is! I really want to keep reading to get to know the ending!

How excited I am to end the book

More Than One Killer

Summary of this week´s chapters

Emma went to Nisha´s room and found a photo of the tennis team of the "back to school" sleepover Nisha (Sutton's enemy) made and noticed Sutton and Charlotte were missing but after all this Emma found out Nisha was also innocent. The Lying game crew was at Madeline's house preparing the homecoming and they decided to do the theme Titanic. The girls discovered about Ethan so now they think Ethan and Sutton are together since they are going to homecoming together. They also received a twitter from the twitter twins saying mean stuff about TLG (The Lying Game). They decided to do a prank to them in revenge telling them that for the homecomig they had to wear swimsuits but Emma doubted about this prank since she already hurt Gabi on the train prank. Ethan invited Emma to crash to a photography party. Emma was getting to know Ethan and as they were talking they saw Nisha there so they went to talk outside until they talked about their relationship but it got awkard since Emma didn't want to ruin their friendship by being a couple but Ethan didn't thought the same way but they ended being just friends. Emma is ungrounded so she is going to homecoming and she has her phone back. Sutton's parents already know about Garret's breakup with Sutton. Homecoming day came and the TLG were organizing and they tried to make the twitter twins wear swimsuits but they discovered it was a prank so they wore dresses. Emma is really scared since she thinks the twitter twins killed Sutton!
I'm sorry but this is the only thing I thought when Emma and Ethan ended up being friends haha.


Important quotes

"I didn't say you couuld come in here!" (Shepard 125).

I can make a connection to my life with these scene. In here, Emma is cought searching on Nisha's room and she was supposed to not do it. I did the same but I did it on mycousin's room. I can understan Emma's feeling when she got cought because I almost died like she. I thinlk she panicked in the same way I did and did not knew much about what she would do next.

"The pushing heat of the day had broken, and a cool breeze tickled their cheecks" (Shepard 150).

I really like how the author is describing the environment here. I think is so descrptive that you can even get an image on your head. I think that when authors use this kind of language they make the story more interesting and you are more hooked in. I think it gives the reader a clearer idea of the setting which is great!

Final thoughts

I am enjoying this book every time morre because every time it gets better. I want to know if the twitter twins are really the killers and I predict they will be since they are not very friendly right know. I would also like to know more about what was the relationship between the twitter twins and Sutton back then when she was alive. I also thought that if they are the killers then Emma has to have SO much care on what actions she does with them. I also want to know what the train prank is about, I have not forgot it and I really want to know if that is going to be a clue or something.
I didn't forget about the train prank!

What Really Happened in That Prank?

Summary of this week´s chapters

On this chapters we find more about the train praink. Gabi(one of the twitter twins) ended up on the hospital after the train prank and also Laurel (Sutton´s adoptive sister) told her something about the real train prank! Sutton´s parents go to the train station because of Emma´s shoplifting and grounding her and not letting her go to the homecoming. Emma was helping Sutton´s dad on the garage and she noticed someone was spying her and she thinks it is the twitter twins (friends of sutton). Ethan and Emma were talking abouth the train prank and they had this crazy idea to go to the neighboors pool and they played marco & polo and they got to know more about each other and they were going to kiss. Laurel spotted Emma and Ethan on the pool but she didn´t thought it was Ethan and then Emma admit it. The Lying game (Sutton´s group of friends) are planning another prank. Madeline is mad with Emma because of what she said about their friend Charlotte. Emma questioned Madeline about the night Sutton was killed and they are innocent.

When I read Emma and Ethan's secret scape to the pool.

Impotant quotes

 "This wasn't the fist time a dork had shied away from Emma, giving her a wide berth in the hallways or scurrying out of the girls'bathroom just as Emma walked in" (Shepard 103).
I infeer Sutton was a bad person back when she was alive. Her friends and her seem like th typical mean girls and everything. They also have The Lying Game in which they make pranks that are not funny at all. I think before she was dead she always made people feel bad. Sutton also seems to be a person that is scary and that no one wants to mess with. 
"Emma went home that day and asked becky what her dad did" (Shepard 76). 
When I read this part of the story I really started realizing how lucky I am to have parents. I can't imagine how my life would be with not even knowing hw they look like. I am also thankful I have good parents and not just any kind of parents. I think Emma was really happy when she replaced Sutton and finally go the feeling of knowing what a parent is.

   Final Thoughts

I reallyyyy want to know what is the real train prank. I predict that Ethan and Emma will kiss and have another secret reunion. I also wonder what is going to happen to the homecoming for Emma? I also predict she will escape. I also got to really know a lot of feelings that Emma has in her new life and all the changes she has experienced.

The Lying Game Continues


Never Have I Ever


Summary of this week´s chapters

This time I am reading a book called Never Have I Ever from the series of the Lying Game, I already read one book at the beginning of my blogs and it was called Two Truths and a Lie and it is about the same problem of Sutton´s killer but new events happen. It starts with Emma (Sutton´s twin that pretends to be her) and Sutton´s friends eating at a restaurant and Emma gets a box from a anonymous person saying something about a train prank but we don´t know what that prank is about yet. Later, Emma tries to find clues about the killer with Ethan (Emma´s friend) and they found out Madeline (one of Sutton´s friends) is a suspect and the possible date of the killing could have been August 31. The Lying Game (Emma and Sutton´s friends doing pranks) decided to do a new prank but when Emma mentions something about a train, Sutton´s friends remember the train prank and tell Emma that that prank is not funny. Emma saw her credit account and she noticed there was a purchase on Clique on August 31 and she went there to know about it but Sutton had shoplifted there once so the police arrested Emma. When Emma is on the police station she watches a police report about the train prank and so far it is about Sutton getting their friends on a car stuck on the train tracks without gasoline and a train is coming and almost crashing them but it is a prank from Sutton and all her friends get really mad at her. 
If Sutton did that prank to me I would be like this...

Important quotes

"Not interested, I said, dismissing her with a wave" (Shepard 59).

I can make a connection with this quote because I am like Sutton when I don't want people to do things like pranks that I am doing. In this quote you can see how bad person Sutton can be. I can infer she is really mean when she wants to.

"Thinking of you! Call when you can. Can't wait to talk!" (Shepard 35).

When Emma got this text from her friend she felt so good. I also feel so nice when a friend text me something like this. When I read this quote I started thinking how much Emma must be missing her old life.

Final Thoughts

I really wanted to read another book from the series of the laying game. Now that I am reading one I am so excited because it is as good as the last one. I hope I can finally know who Sutton's killer is. I predict August 31 will be the date of Sutton[s murder but maybe another character will be the killer. Can't wait to know what is going to happen next!
This was my reaction when I read that Madeline is a suspect.

What Do You Think Happened?

Summary of this week´s chapters

This story is over now! At the end of the chapters, a doctor that was friend of Mia´s parents told all Mia´s relatives to ccome visit her. First goes Adam but the he tells Mia to wait and then Kim goes inside. Mia was considering not staying and she was happy because she would remember Kim´s last memory as one of the best. The last memory Mia has on the story is when her family had like a dinner and they had a lot of fun and then they started to play instruments and Adam and Mia´s father convinced Mia to play the cello with them and it was a special night for her. Later, Adam comes back again to visit Mia and he says his last word but basically he tells Mia to stay. Mia that moment got so tired and could not go any morelike this. She remembered all the love and the strenght Mia´s relatives gave her and the book ends with "Mia?" so is left for the reader to decide the end.
This book deserves a lot of applause. Great book!

Important quotes

"You have a family" (Forman 184).
I think this quote is one of the biggest that show love and support to Mia. When this quote appears, it gives Mia the knowledge that she is not alone. It also tells her that if she decides to stay its not like she is going to end up alone, she has her one family. I think this is the answer to what Mia thought about what will happen if she stayed, she will wake up with no family.
"But if you need me to go away, I´ll do that, too (Forman 193).
This quote shows how Adam also accepts if Mia doesn´t stay. Adam wants more than anything for Mia to stay but I think is so good from his part to accept if she doesn´t want to stay. I think this quote made Mia think a lot harder about her decision. I also think it was a really good thing to say because they don´t pressure Mia with her decision.

Final thoughts

I loved this book so much! I really want to know what haeppened to Mia but the author also wants to know what we think. I really liked how Gayle Forman wrote this book, it was so descriptive and good. I liked a lot how you didn´t knew what could happen it was all surprises. I think I also liked a lot this book because you get to be in Mia´s shoes and think how muvh support and love she gets, it´s amazing.

The book got me like this thinking what happened with Mia.

Will She Stay?

Summary of this week´s chapters

Mia is still in the hospital and she just got worst. Since she figured out that Teddy passed away, she got in healthy problems. She almost died but the doctors saved her. Later her grandparents go visit her and her grandfather leaves the message that gets Mia to know if she is going to stay. He tells Mia is okay if she doesn´t go, is her decision and he is going to support her. This leads Mia into a lot of thinking if she is going to stay or not. Mia remembers when her dad quit his band to takecare of his children´s and Mia asked if he was upset about it and he said no leaving Mia a lesson about decisions. Later, Adam goes and visits Mia and Mia is so happy and Adam tells Mia to please not make him write a song about this which I infer it means to make mia stay and this confuses Mia even more.

 Important quotes

"I wonder if every dying person gets to decide whether they stay or go" (Forman 150).
I also have the same wonder as Mia right now. Like Mia gets to decide right now this but what about her parents and Teddy? Did they also decide? I also think this thought might be so important in Mia´s decision to stay or not. I can´t even think how hard thinking about staying might be.
"Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you" (Forman 161).
I think this is like a important lesson the author is trying to give the reader. I think is true because the choices you make define the person you want to be. Also I think this quote means like you don´t always get to decide. I think that is something important to know because if you don´t make a decision you have to deal with it, and you should deal with it the best possible.

Final thoughts

I want so much to know what decision is going to make Mia. I am almost finishing the book so I am very excited. I predict Mia won´t stay but I think she will think about it a lot! So far, everyone has giving a lot of support to Mia which is so good and shows the other people personalities. I can´t think of how Mia is going to live her life if she stays.

Never Give Up

Summary of this week´s chapters

Mia has memories of her life while she is in comma. The first memory she had was when Mia and Adam went trick or treating and then to a concert of Adam´s band (Shooting Star). They disguised themselves like this: Adam as a classical musician who Mia loved and Mia as a rock musician that Adam loved. At first, Mia thought she didn´t fit in Adam´s world but they talked and she knew she did. Meanwhile on the hospital, Mia saw Adam and Kim trying to go and see her but the nurses said only family could visit her and Adam made a whole chaos and Kim tried to calm him. While she saw that she remembered that at first, Mia dind´t told Kim about Adam and when she decide to tell her she already knew. Mia wanted so bad for Kim and Adam to get together but they were really different. Adam thinks of a way to see Mia on the hospital as a janitor but he fails but he will not give up and still keep trying. Mia remembers her experience in her camp of cello and she remembers how much she loves the cello and she can´t believe that she almost left it! Adam attempts to see Mia again with a distraction but he fails again until he mets with a doctor who was friend of Mia´s parents and she gets Adam to see Mia again and then Mia realizes his brother is gone. She remembers the time when Mia´s mother was giving birth to her brother (Teddy).
.
My feelings towards Adam...

Important quotes

"It´s like in tennis. If you play someone crappy, you end up missing shots or serving all sloppy, but if you play with an ace player, suddenly you´re all at the net, lobbing good volleys." (Forman 113).
This quote I think is a message the author wants to give to the reader. I think that it means like when you want to improve you should make the best to improve. I think is like to challenge yourself with the best. To learn how to be the best you have to train with the best.
"'Adam, you better just go for it,'" Liz yells. 'Now or never'" (Forman 121).
This is also a lesson from the author to the reader. I think it means to not waste your time and do things. To not wait for the perfect time. To just go or do it because you maybe will not have the chance to do it again. Now or never!

Final thoughts

I can believe it finally happen!.... Adam got to see Mia that is so nice. What I really love about reading this is that I get to see all the love and support Mia gets. I just keep thinking how hard it is for Mia. I think she is a really strong person and now she lost Teddy... that is so sad. Well, I hope Mia's situation will be better on the next chapters.

Summary of this week´s chapters

In this week´s chapters Mia gets out of surgery in a comma status. While she is in comma she rembers important things like when she first meet her best friend. She also remembers things like the first time she meet Adam. In this chapters we get to see how romantic Adam is. He knows that Mia lovs classic music so he invites her on their fist date to a classic music concert. Also she remembers the time when they went together for treack and treating with Mia´s little brother (Teddy) and thn went to Adam´s band concert and thats when Mia discovered that feeling that Adam makes her feel so special. He is also very concerned about Mia but he doesn´t know he is on the hospital yet. The people who are on the hospital are Mia´s uncles , ants and grandparents and also Kim who is her best friend. She also remembers good memories with her grandparents.
Adam makes me feel like


Important quotes

"Please don´t die"(Forman 57).
Although thisis such a simple quote it shows a lot of love. This quote is being said by Kim and obviously she loves Mia a lot! It shows how much she cares for her since even if Mia is not listening she is telling her to not give up and to PLEASE not die. 
"Adam said that he didn[t mind worrying about me" (Forman 48).
I think this quote is very quote and shows a lot about Adams personality. Is so romantic since it says that he cares for Mia and that is very cute. It also shows how omantic and loving Adam is specially with Mia.

Final thoughts

I have totally fallen in love with this book so far. I love so much each character specially Adam, he is sooo romantic I love that! I love so much this story since its a very unic story that I have read. I want to see what happens to Mia on the hospital. I predict she is going to wake up and go to see Adam or maybe Adam is going to be with Mia when she wakes up.

What Happens at a Car Crash?

Summary of this week´s chapters

A new book came again! This book is If I stay. It´s about this girl called Mia that loves to play chello and has a boyfriend called Adam who is a rock band player. Mia´s family is into music a lot and more rock and roll. One day it was snowing so Mia´s family decide to go visit their relatives. In one of those turns a truck comes and they crash. Mia somehow is alive and sees all of their family very hurt. She later sees herself bleeding on the snow. She later realizes she didn´t quite survive the crash, she is an a sort of coma where she can see everything outside but nobody can see her. Then Mia and her family are taken to the hospital. While Mia is taken o the surgery with small posibilities to survive, she finds out her parents are dead. This was my reaction when I knew she kind of survived the crash:

Important quotes

"I need to find Teddy! Where is he?" (Forman 14).
Here Mia relates looking for Teddy after the crash to when he lost him on the mall. I like when a conection like this happens because I get to understand it better. Obviuosly loosing you brother after a crash is way much desesperate and worst but I can understand better.
"Am I dead? I actually have to ask myself this" (Froman 16).
This was a really shocking fact since you normally think that after a crash like Mia´s that was very fatal you might be dead. It is also very shocking because not knowing you are dead is really weird. I also was thinking that Mia must be so shocked and confused right now.

Final thoughts

I really like this book so far. I most of all like a lot Mia´s character, I think she is a very beautifull girl. I like a lot the problem which I think is that she is in a sort of coma. I think this topic is really interesting. I hope the book continues to be as great as it is so far.
