Review; Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle

I haven't really read  a book like this before, but this style of novel has really taken my fancy! The story follows three different characters, and each characters story is written by a different author. Eventually you find out that all theses characters are connected in different ways and all re-unite at the end. When one character was mentioned I found myself going "Oh my gosh! I know them! I read their story!" Then I realised "Of course I have read their story. They know I have read their story. That's the point". #conversations with myself

Anyway, this is a really nice, sweet Christmas story that I didn't put down until i finished it! Thank goodness for school holidays!

I have now discovered that I love books way to much for them to end. Just like Erik Erikson's theory of human development; even if you have led a wonderful life and are happy how you spent it, everyone feels despair at death, either because it's a sad ending or because they don't want their happy life to end. I have found that all these books I have been reading recently are too good, and I don't want them to end. Even if their is a sad ending.

Sorry if I rambled a little bit there.. it made sense to me, so I was wondering if it made sense to anyone else?

Anyway, make sure to pick this book up and read it, you will not be disappointed!

Exploring my backyard: Flagstaff Hill

Last Friday, my family decided to take our cousins to Flagstaff Hill in Warrnambool. It wasn't the nicest day (weather wise) but we still enjoyed exploring this olden day town. As a little Preppy, I went to Flagstaff Hill with my class, and I now remember sitting in the classroom (shown above) and having to copy things off the board. As I am left handed, I had to write right-handed (because that's how they did back in the day), and we also wore costumes! This little trip reminded me of the fun when I went to one of my old schools. The rooms and buildings were all very interesting, and quite pretty. There were also lots of ducks around we were allowed to feed. This is definetly a place to go to when in Warrnambool!

Review: "Paper Towns" by John Green

This book now ties with “An Abundance of Katherine’s’ as my favourite John Green novel. I found I can really relate with the characters, especially Quentin (I often have anxiety attacks, I have to remind myself to be more daring). I also loved the mystery of the story, especially you had to try and solve the mystery with them (I picked the door clue!!). I was so sad at the end, mainly because the book ends but also because so many things are unknown, I am hoping John Green makes a sequel because I need to know what happens! I am now on the hunt for my next John Green book!
