"Everything Everything" Nicola Yoon

By Anonymous -
     The book I will be talking about is "Everything Everything" written by Nicola Yoon. If you haven't heard of the book, or don't know what it is, I'm going to tell you a little bit about it. Madeline Whittier is diagnosed with a disease called "Bubble Baby" disease. Basically, she can't go outside, or be in contact with other people/germs. She has spent all of her life in a house. Not once in her life has she went outside, because of the risk of her losing her life. Her mother always emphasized  that she couldn't go outside, or touch anyone or anything. In Madeline's past, when she was 8 years old, she had neighbors. Which didn't end well when they moved away. That's why when this new family moved in, her mother and Carla (her hospice nurse) got worried. Madeline reassured them that nothing would happen, but little did she know how much of a strong connection she would have with the boy next door. His name was Olly, short for Oliver. At first it was just looking at each other every now and then, to sending messages to each other by writing on the windows, to messaging through email. As time went on, Maddy (short for Madeline) and Olly really begin to have a connection. Maddy was kind of a bad liar, though, so of course Carla caught on pretty fast. Thing happen, things change, and everything is different in the end.
     This book is honestly such a great book, and I can't be more excited for the movie. That's right, they're making a movie! I'm excited to see how similar they are, how different they are, and especially which version is better. Anyways, I would recommend this book to people who are into drama/teen-fiction/romance. "Maddy is homeschooled, so how is there any drama?" Is what most people think of when I say there's drama in this book. Yes, she is homeschooled, but you'd be surprised on how much drama there is between Maddy and her family, and Olly and his family. All in all, this was a great book, and I think anyone would be able to relate to this hook at one point or another.

"Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher

    At first, when I heard about this book, I thought, "what's the big deal? Why does everyone like it so much?" Not only until after I read it, did I realize how great of a book it actually is. This book speaks about things that people should be aware of. Just because it's "inappropriate" does not mean it should not be discussed. People need to be aware of what really could go on in someone's life. Personally, I related to this book. I think that's one of the reasons on why I love it so much. I think my favorite part of the book & the show, was when Clay finally got to his tape. It was so touching, and not what anyone would have expected.       This book is basically all about a girl named Hannah Baker. When Hannah moved to this new place, she didn't have it tough. Not until she met Justin Foley. Justin was the turning point in her entire life. After weeks of living there, she had it tough. She had no friends, no one liked her, everyone th

My Name

By Anonymous -
     My name is pretty unique. Although, it has been mispronounced from time to time. The day I was born, my parents decided to name me "Sumar." The reason my name is unique is not because of the way it is pronounced, but the way it is spelled. I'm pretty sure you guys all think it's pronounced like "su-mar." The funny thing is, my name is supposed to be pronounced "summer" like the season, and also spelled like the season. I guess when I was born, there was a miscommunication and my name was spelled incorrectly on my birth certificate. Although it causes a lot of mix-ups, it's a funny story to tell. It's also from an Arabic origin (or Arabic root) which is pretty cool.
