Book Review: The Secret of the Old Clock

Hey Guys,

             Long time no see. Today I will be doing a book review on Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I recently read this book and I really enjoyed it. Fun fact: My mom found 8 books in this series at a thrift store, two of those books were the book I am reviewing today. So without further ado lets get started.

          This book is #1 in the series and if you wonder what the cover looks like just google "Nancy Drew" and it will come up in images. This is the revised version published in 1959 by Grosset & Dunlap. It's 20 chapters and 180 pages long. This book did not have a summary blurb any where on the cover or at the front of the book.

        The main character in the book is Nancy Drew. Characters that appear a lot in this book are Mr. Drew, Hannah Gruen, Allison and Grace Hoover, the Topham family and Judy, Edna and Mary Turner. This book is set in around 1960 based on some of the images and what Nancy is wearing on the cover.  In this book Nancy solves the mystery around the second will of Josiah Crowley. She also catches the fake movers who locked her in a closet and stole from the Tophams and the Turners.

        Overall I think this is a great book and I really enjoyed it. I totally recommend it and I see why it's a classic. Well see you soon. I hope you enjoyed!

Book Review- To Kill a Mockingbird

Hi guys, Today I'm going to be doing a book review on the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Did I enjoy it?  YES! I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a good story and really made me think. This book is pretty thick and I read it starting in or around the month of January and I just finished on Tuesday. I really wanted to keep reading every time I put it down.  This book is a classic and was originally published in 1960. This book has two parts and is 31 chapters long.  This book uses a bad word frequently so if you don't understand or you're younger make sure you know that word is unacceptable. The Main Characters The main characters are Jean-Louise Finch (also called Scout)and Jem Finch. They appear the most in the book. This book was told in first person point of view. (Told by Scout) My Rating I give this book 4 and a half stars. It's a very good book to read, I truly recommend this book. I hope you enjoyed reading this book review. ...

N's Tips and Tricks for School Organization and Productivity

Hey Guys,    Since I go back to school in a month, for the entire month of August and into September I am going to be doing some back to school themed posts. I may even post twice a week. Today's post is all about productivity and organization. So without further ado let's get started! 1. Have a planner - I have a planner that I use to write down lists of what I need to accomplish almost every day. I had a planner for school, I didn't really use it though, when I did use it, it was quite useful. Here is my planner currently: It is a recollections mini planner from Micheal's, I do have to say I prefer the "The Happy Planner" planner because you can take out the pages. It's easier because I'm a lefty. You can get them at Micheal's. Here is the planner I am going to be using at school: It comes in a pack of 3 at Micheal's with 2 other notebooks. I will be using it to record my homework, events and activities. 2. Write...
