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!

My New Year's Resolutions for 2019

Happy New Year!          Sorry for my extremely long break. School has been busy, and I never really had any ideas. But now I am (hopefully) back and ready to post. Well, let's get started with my resolutions!          My first resolution is to eat healthier. I will admit, I eat a lot of junk food, but this year (and beyond) I want to cut back on sugar and make it a habit to eat more fruits and vegetables.          My next resolution is to grow and improve as a dancer, that means work really hard in class, work on increasing my flexibility, and learning and teaching my self new moves, as well as making better choreography. I also have fun and exciting news! I'm taking a ballet exam this year! It was one my goals this school/dance year.          Another resolution is to read more books. I like to read but I haven't really read a lot lately. I do sometimes read at school, but at home I barely read. I spend a lot and I mean a LOT of time on technology, which of c

Some Photography + Some Changes

Hey Guys,          Here is some photography I took the other day on my phone. Just from my backyard. I actually took these before the grass was cut in my backyard. I also took some Polaroids on my Instax the same day. Here are the pictures I took:        There will be some changes coming to my blog in September. # 1. a name change - Well I haven't come up with the perfect name yet, I think I am getting close to the perfect name though. #2. I will change back to posting on the weekend - either Saturday or Sunday, I will decide later. It may also be a bit harder for me to blog since I will have a lot of school and dance (School starts on the 4th). I only have 3 weeks of summer left! Well I hope you enjoyed and are looking forward to seeing all of the coming changes in September. Another post should be coming soon. N♡

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.
