No, I haven't seen your hair ribbon! Leave me alone!

The BSC hears about a thief known as the Phantom Phone Caller and works themselves into a collective tizzy over it.

Also, Claudia has a crush on a poet named Trevor.

I liked this one. I remember when I first read it, I was really creeped out by the hang-up phone calls and that might have something to do with my extreme distaste for them today.

Curse you, Ann M. Martin!

Movie Favorite

"Watched a lot of this on my phone on the RER B because I kept seeing the cover or poster or something. Watched it in sections on my phone, which must be blasphemy. I watched it while I was in postproduction for An Oversimplification of Her Beauty and briefly became insecure about finishing the movie because I felt that, as a person making a movie about making a movie about all the women in my life, I was accidentally plagiarizing 8½"

I had already decided that I probably wouldn't enjoy this film, as comic book heroes is not really a genre I embrace .Well how wrong I was, I wasn't blown away but I was interested in the story which and I did like the characters although in the final show down I was disappointed by how weak they seemed to be and how easily they were initially overcome? I guess this was to add to the drama though. Overall a solid film.

I loved this movie, though I found it confusing at times. When the world started buckling and changing, I had to rewind the movie and make sure I wasn't seeing things (I probably shouldn't have watched this movie when I was sick!). I loved the strength of character and there were a few statements or paradoxes that I still like to ponder to this day. I hope to see a second one sometime with many of the same cast members!

It's been a while since I read the first one but I know I enjoyed it. This one not so much. I struggled to get into the story but tried and tried, I kept reading but after a handful of pages i'd put the book down again. And that's what it's been like throughout. I felt like I needed to finish it, though, and I did.

I have books 3 and 4 but I'm not in any hurry to read them yet.

Album Favorite

"The Blueprint deserves its own shit. I still remember where I was at and where I bought the album from. I remember driving around in my mom’s car, because she had a little mini-system in her car. I remember playing this album to death, front to back. I only skipped one song, which was ‘Jigga That Nigga,’ but even that I used to play. So even the song I skipped I still know the lyrics to. It’s just a classic, hands down."

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!

The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)

And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!

Definitely give this one a read!!

This was a very helpful textbook that I used for a coaching class to get a certification in coaching from the American Sport Education Program. A lot of the information was common sense, but there was some information that I found to be interesting. I enjoyed being able to discuss this with the class. I strongly recommend this if you are clueless about coaching a sport, otherwise I'm not sure how much you would really benefit from it.
  
I didn't enjoy this quite as much as Ian's story. Ian had a sort of cocky inner voice and a way of coming across that I really loved. No offense to our hot geek but I didn't get as good a vibe from him. But then again this being written in dual POV made their relationship growth a lot easier to follow.

I did enjoy this a lot though and look forward to reading more books by the author.

I Spy a Tiger by Clyde San Juan was wonderfully lyrical and filled with eye-catching detail. All the pages were covered with whimsical artwork that kids can identify and remember. I liked how the words were larger and easy to read on the pages, and that they had a lyrical sing-song quality that I really enjoyed and remembered even after I was done reading it. Plus, I loved the interactive aspect of the book and the questions back and forth on the pages (i.e., I sailed to an Island, and coming ashore…I saw the most colorful Parrot with his treasures galore!). So, as I said it is a fun book that would be a great addition to any library.

 I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend this book really enjoyed getting to read it.
