Hello everyone! I have recently read a few books and I decided to do a post about them! So, here we go.........
First is "Finally" By: Wendy Mass. This book is about a girl named Rory who "Finally" turns 12. Her parents had promised her throughout the years of things she could do or have when she turned 12, but not everything turns out as planned. I really like this book and is probably one of my favorites! I would give it 5 out of 5 stars!
Second is "Phillipa Fisher's Fairy Godsister" by Liz Kessler. This is about a girl named Phillipa who's best friend moves away, her parents are weird and a girl is mean to her at school. She really wants her life to get better and she meets someone who can help her. I also really liked this book. I've read this book twice now, but I still think it's very good. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
Third is "Love, Ruby Lavender" by Deborah Wiles. This book was about a girl named Ruby who lives in a small town with a few problems. Her grandmother is going to Hawaii for the summer and she doesn't have any friends. Ruby does find some good surprises and some not-so-good surprises. I liked this book too, but I didn't like some things that happened in the book. So I would give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Fourth is "Millicent Min, Girl Genius" by Lisa Yee who is also the author of the Kanani books for American Girl and the "Good Luck, Ivy" book for them as well. This book is about a girl named Millicent who is a genius who has skipped 5 grades. (She's 11 and a senior in high school). She is very close to her grandmother, and she doesn't really have any other friends. So over the summer, her mom signs her up for a volleyball class and she has to tutor her enemy! She finds lots of surprises and at the end of the book, there is a BIG SURPRISE! I absolutely loved this book. I'm so excited because Lisa Yee wrote 2 other books about the other 2 main characters in the story's point of view so I can't wait to read those too! I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
Well, that concludes this post! Until next time, Goodbye! :)

A Bunch of Random Stuff
Hello everyone! I'm sorry I didn't post on St. Patrick's Day! I do like that holiday.......
But anyway, I was just thinking that I could put more effort into my blog than I have been. Since summer break is almost here, I'll be able to spend more time on my blog. I will be doing more posts, photo stories, book reviews and a couple new things. I thought it would be fun if I wrote in a different color font each month depending on the holiday/theme. Also, if you subscribe to American Girl Magazine, you know that they sent out a little "Treat A Month" calender. It's really cool and I will be sharing the recipe for each food/drink for every month on here! I will dedicate one post to the recipe I write. I'm getting excited............

Awesome Book Reviews!!!!!
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I did some book reviews, so I'll do one now........
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling. Another AWESOME book in the Harry Potter series. This book is when Harry and his friends are in year 4 at Hogwarts, and two other schools, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, come to Hogwarts to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. It was an amazing book and I loved it! Probably one of my favorite in the Harry Potter series. This book is 734 pages long and I loved every part of it. I would give it 5 stars and would totally recommend to anyone!
The next one is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix again, by J.K Rowling. Harry and his friends are at their 5th year at Hogwarts. Harry keeps having weird dreams that he's walking down a corridor, he wants to get to it, but always wakes up before he get to the end! Plus, their is a new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher yet again, and many surprises at school and You-Know-Who is getting stronger by the day! This book is 870 pages long and the longest book in the series. I did like the book, just not as much as the other ones. I was quite surprised at the end. I would give it 4.50 stars out of 5.
This one is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling. Harry is in his 6th year at Hogwarts and is getting help with Potions class by the "Half-Blood Prince". Harry tries to figure out who he is while he gets private lessons from the Headmaster himself, Dumbledore. You-Know-Who is getting stronger and out looking for Harry. This book is 652 pages long and another one of my favorites. I was shocked throughout the book and surprised, too. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
The last one that I have for you today is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows still, by J.K Rowling. I was nervous to start it because I knew that when I ended it, there would be no more Harry Potter books. :( But I read it anyway. I was even more surprised and shocked with this book than I was with the others. I would have never imagined that she would choose to write it the way she did, but yes, I am VERY happy that she wrote it the way she did. This book is 759 pages including the epilogue. I would absolutely give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Actually, 6 out of 5 stars. ;D
P.S: I already started the series over again! Heeheehee!

New AG Store!
Hello everyone! I was just on Doll Diaries, www.dolldiaries.com/american-girl-opening-store-in-lynnwood-wa/ and there is a new American Girl Place that is under construction in Lynnwood Washington in the Alderwood Mall! I am so excited for it to be built because almost all of the of the American Girl Places are on the east coast and the only other one on the Pacific coast is the one in Los Angeles which might be too far away for some people who live in the Pacific Northwest! Yay! What do you think?

The AWESOME New AG Stuff!
Hello everyone! I was just on American Girl a little bit ago and I saw that there was some more new things for springtime! I got so excited thinking about school almost being out for summer! Anyway, I'm going to tell you what things I like the best.....
Flower Garden Dress
Tennis Skirt Set
Campus Casual Outfit
Chocolate Chip (The new Puppy)
I love the Flower Garden Dress because it totally reminds me of Spring.
I love the Tennis Skirt Set because I like to play tennis.
I like the Campus Casual Outfit because it has pink all over it and pink is my FAVORITE COLOR!
And I love Chocolate Chip the puppy because she's just so cute!!!!!!!!
Also, I've been thinking about if I really want Kanani for my next doll, and I decided I don't really want her as much as I did when she first came out. The doll that I do want to save up for is a "My American Girl" doll. I'm really excited because I have about $75 saved up already! Each time when I do save up for an American Girl doll, I always think I want to get a "My American Girl". But I never do! So this time, I'm really going to get a MAG doll! ;D

Lanie Stuff!
Hello everyone! I was just on the American Girl Website and I typed "Lanie" into the search box just to see what would happen. I was surprised to see that it came up with all of the Lanie items that did not sell out. So, if you want Lanie's Butterfly outfit, Lanie's Nature outfit and accessories, Lanie's garden outfit, the blue, white, green or red matching nature shirt for you and your doll, the headband for girls or the nightgown for girls, you're in luck, they're still available. Also the books are available too.
