bop to the top







Hey dont call me a nerd cos i'm not..i just got this special addiction to books.(storybooks not workbooks,not textbooks.)




And finally!I've gotten the "13 Little Blue Envelopes" storybook by Maureen Johnson!Thanks alot Grace!(=




I just realised that So far..my favourite author is Maureen Johnson..




And her books are excellent!Especially "Devilish" And "13 Little Blue Envelopes"




I cant find the "Bermudaz Triangle" and the "Girl at Sea" though i bet they are nice.




But "The Key To The Golden Firebird"..was not as good.Rate it 3 out of 5 stars.




And yeah..uploaded the pics and info.




The 13 little Blue envelopes:





Here’s the deal: Aunt Peg, the New York artist and the person

Ginny Blackstone depended on to make her life interesting, took off to Europe without a word three years ago.

Aside from a few postcards, Ginny hasn’t heard much. Then she gets a horrible phone call that changes everything.But the story is only beginning. Soon after, Ginny receives one little blue envelope from Aunt Peg containing a thousand dollars and some very strange instructions…

And with that, she is sent off to pick up a package containing twelve similar envelopes, which she can open one by one, as instructed. Each letter contains a task that Ginny must perform.Soon, the mild-mannered and quiet Ginny (who’s barely made it out of New Jersey before) finds herself running from London to Paris to Rome, and beyond.

Along the way, she collects a number of new friends, including: a manager from Harrods department store who runs errands for the rich and famous, a handsome but maddening thief-turned-playwright, a celebrity painter who tattoos the names of her dead pets on her body, and the angriest vegetable salesman in all of France.

As time goes on, Ginny realizes that her aunt has sent her on a mission, and that there is something big waiting for her in the thirteenth envelope.

All she has to do is make it from place to place and complete all of the tasks that have been set before her.

As if life is that easy.



Devilish:

At St. Teresa’s Preparatory School for Girls in Providence, Rhode Island, rebellious senior class genius Jane Jarvis is worried about her best friend Allison Concord.

Ally is lovable, but a little clueless, and badly in need of Jane’s help. She needs to get a freshman “sister” at the school’s annual Big-Little celebration. When Ally blows it (rather literally), Jane knows that they are in for a rough few weeks.
She has no idea just how rough they will be.
Strange things start happening in Providence. Hail storms rip into the city. A strangely polite gourmet in a silver roadster turns up every time Jane turns around.

A freshman guy from neighboring St. Sebastian’s starts to stalk her. A lanky, cupcake-loving sophomore transfer steps into their lives to save the day . . .
Then Ally begins to change. She looses the awkwardness that Jane has always known and loved and becomes the model of cool.

Things don’t go as well for Jane, and she soon winds up facing the threat of expulsion and ruin.
But these are only the beginnings of much bigger problems. Jane’s life is about to get much worse. Ally claims that she sold her soul, and Jane throws herself on the line to get it back. But this battle is big. A crowd of strangers is about to descend on Providence, and they’re not there to go on a campus tour of Brown.
It’s Jane versus the demons, and nothing is what it seems. There will be perfume bottles, dogs, explosions, dancing, death, badly misused textbooks, ex-boyfriends, very long falls, unusual weaponry, and lots of sugary snacks before it’s all over.

Hey, you do what you have to do. Everyone knows high school is hell.



Well..thats about it.
