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.
