BIG BROTHER 18 PLAYER OF THE WEEK {Week 5}

Hello All,

Happy Monday! This week is pretty exciting for me! And I can't wait to share why (Although you can get sneak peaks on Istagram, twitter snapchat by following @judy_judy94). But for right now a post about Big Brother will have to suffice. 

*This post contains spoilers from any episode of Big Brother 18 up to and including the episode that aired on Thursday, July 28, 2016***

This week was kind of boring in the house. From the nomination, to the POV competition, to vote of eviction, the house might as well have sang and danced We're All in this Together from high school musical.

 After a LONG HOH competition the final 3 standing were James, Bridgette and Da'Vonne. James made a deal with the other two that he wouldn't put them up if they let him win. But it didn't take long for the house to convinced James to break his deal and put up Frank and Bridgette. During the POV competition Michelle pulled out her first win. Frank attempted to persuade Michelle to use the POV on him, but the house wasn't having it, they would interrupt Frank every time he tried to get close to her. In the end Michelle kept the nomination the same.

The day before eviction the house guest were given clues to a secret room that would hold a secret power. The power stated that they could select one of twelve envelopes. While most of the envelopes held a one way ticket, one of the envelopes holds a round trip ticket that allows the player to re-enter the house right after their eviction. As long as they don't open there envelope until they are sitting out on the stage with Julie the ticket remains valid. Paul was the first player to find the room and he tried to play it smart by keeping it a secret, even if he was horrible liar.

On eviction night Frank was evicted by unanimous vote.  When he was out being interviewed by Julie Chen he learned that he had not selected the round way ticket and his game was officially over. This also makes Frank the first vet this season to evicted. 

This week I had a hard time choosing a player of the week. I hate when the house all bans together to get one person out because nobody really shows what makes them special or show that they are fighters. But I decided since he was the first to discover the room to make Paul my player of the week.

Big Brother 18 Player of the Week: Week 4

Hello All,

Welcome to this week's player of the week. This will be a fast post but I'm writing it less then 12 hours before it's supposed to go live. So, let's get started!

*Everything beyond this point contains spoilers from any episode that aired before Thursday, July 21, 2016***

Although the house guest didn't know it yet this week's evictee was the last one to that would be eligible to participate in the batt back. The week started with Paulie once again winning the HOH competition. Much like the past few weeks his primary target was Tiffany so he put Tiffany and Natalie up on the block. When Tiffany won the Road Block competition she decided to shake up the other side of the house by nominating Paulie's house best friend, Corey. While doing so Tiffany gave up all the information she had against the people who who did her wrong. Tiffany faced a lot of obstacles in her game, such as over coming her sister's legacy and having the whole house targeting her. And although she may have been evicted, the amount that she fought in order to stay in the house. For those reason Tiffany was my player of the week.

BIG BROTHER 18 PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Hello All,

Last week I wrote a post talking about what I'm currently up to (Read it here). One of the things I talked about was about my love for Big Brother. Where I also mentioned that I wanted to able to share my love for Big Brother but wasn't sure how to. After thinking about it for a while decided that I would write a short weekly post where I will chose a player of the week (A small section from my original recaps) and explain why I chose them as player of the week. Since I decided to start this about 3 weeks in I figured I would do a quick post explaining why I chose the first 3 players of the week. 

*This post may contain spoilers from any episode that has aired before Thursday, July 14, 2016***

Week One:

This week is always the longest week because I consider the first week every episode up until the first live eviction (So, up until Jozea's eviction). This episode didn't have a traditional HOH competition. Instead the losing team for the first 4 comps had to chose one of their 3 remaining players to be HOH. Each team this season consists of 1 vet and 3 newbies. The losing team would lose one houseguest and one would become HOH. The losing Team had Nicole (BB16), Corey, Tiffany (Vanessa from last season's sister) and Glenn (Who got evicted). Nicole worked hard to convince her team to make her the first HOH by making her team believe it was their idea to make her HOH while still pretending she didn't want it. Once becoming HOH Nicole used a lot of the other players to get her information from all sides of the house and put up Jozea the leader of the "other" side of the house, who was gunning at her has his number one target. That nomination is what eventually sent Jozea packing, making Nicole my first player of the week.

Week 2:

The power of the alliance of the house (Nicole, James, Da'Vonne, Frank, Corey, Michelle, Za'kiyah and Tiffany) knew their main Targets consisted of Jozea (who was evicted last week), Victor and Paul. For whatever reason they believed the only way to put up Victor and get him out of the house was to backdoor him. They decided to manipulate Paul to get him to go up as a pawn. Paul agreed to be the pawn. Throughout the week he played both sides of the house by keeping the peace with the power side and agreeing to almost everything they said and keeping what they agreed upon a secret while still dropping subtle hints to his ally, Victor. Although Victor didn't pick up on a single one. Paul picked up on the fact that he was in danger and switched up his game plan to make sure he kept himself safe. Which worked and made Paul my player of week!

Week Three:

From the moment that Bridgette won HOH everyone knew that she was going to the puppet to Frank's puppet master. Frank's primary target was Tiffany who has been rubbing Frank wrong the since week two pretty much. At first the rest of Frank's alliance, the 8-pack, was on board to evicted one of there own. With Frank rubbing Da'Vonne the wrong way, Da'Vonne decided to attempt to flip the vote, but soon met resistance from Paulie who saw Tiffany has a pretty big target. But on Wednesday (according to the live feeds) Michelle realized that by keeping Tiffany in the house there was always going to a bigger target, than herself and her allies, in the house. Using that fact Michelle was able to flip Nicole, Corey, Za'kiyah and Da'Vonne's vote which was enough to safe Tiffany and shake up the house. Because of her success in flipping the house, Michelle is my player of the week!

And those are my first 3 players of the week. Do you agree with me? Who are you currently rooting for? Let me know in the comments below.

MOVIE REVIEW: Finding Dory

Hello All,

As some of you may have noticed some of my favorite posts to write are reviews so I'm excited to be back with another one today. 

Like every other twenty-something, okay maybe everyone, in America I was super excited when I heard the news that Dory, Marlin and Nemo would be returning to the big screen. For those of you who need a little Dory (or Ellen) in your life watch one of the previews down below.

So, I patiently waited for the Finding to Dory to come out for weeks, months, years, 13 years to be exact. And then I had to wait another couple weeks after the premiere to actually go see it. But that didn't stop me from seeing all the tweets, Instas and Facebook posts about the movie.  Everyone talked about how Finding Dory was one of the only sequels to surpass the prequel. Which gave me some really high expectations, but did it live up to its review? Find out as the post continues. 

LtoR: Dory and Marlin

Mama Judy and I went to see the movie in 3D (that was a lot of fun). The movie opened up with a very cute Baby Dory and her parents. Her parents teach her how to explain her short term memory loss (little Dory talking about it was even more adorable then her looks) to strangers and new friends. Soon she looses her parents and they do a short flashback montage leading up to when she meets Marlin in the original movie. Slowly Dory gets some flashes of her past which leads Marlin, Dory and Nemo on another adventure across the ocean. 

LtoR: Bailey and Destiny

The movie features some characters from the original movies including Mr. Ray, Crush (Mama Judy's favorite), Squirt and Nemo's classmates. It was so cool seeing these characters again and seeing where they were a year later (even if we had to wait 13 years to see it). I think Mama Judy's one complaint was that Crush wasn't in it enough. 

LtoR: Dory and Hank
Source

They also brought in some new characters such as Hank, a grumpy octopus, Destiny, a blind whale Shark, Bailey a beluga whale with a head injury and Dory's parents. All of these characters were adorable. My favorite new characters were the whales. They were so funny and adorable, if Disney made a movie about them I would be first in line to see it. The internet's favorite character was Gerald, who was adorable but not my favorite. 

Baby Dory in all her cuteness

Over all I thought the movie was extremely cute and I am so glad I went to see it theater. But I will say that I didn't feel it was better then Finding Nemo. I think it was on the same level as Nemo but not better.

Mama Judy would probably like me to add that she loved the pre-movie short featuring Piper.

Currently - July 2016

Hello All,

I know, I know I've been missing for awhile. But what else is new here? I could come up with a list of reasons why I haven't been here but I'm not going to bore you with those. I made a goal for this week (the week of July 11th) to blog for at least 10 minutes everyday so I can try and get some cool post up for you guys. 

I figured since I have been "missing" on these parts for a while I would start this up with a currently post, so I can give you guys an update on all the haps in my life. So, let's get started!

Currently I've been...

...binging Friday Night Lights on Netflix

Source

For those of you who have never seen it, Friday Night Lights is about the town of Dillon, Texas, their football team and the lives of the people connected to the football team. Its a show a lot of people had recommended to me and I finally got around to watching it. I absolutely love it! I'm almost done with the series and I'm on the final season. And if we're being honest I will probably re-watch it as soon as I'm finished with it. My only problem with it is that it only takes place during Football season and because of that not every storyline gets wrapped up and leaves me with a few questions. The show in general has made me want to move down south and raise a bunch of boys who play football. 

...watching The Bachelorette (ABC), Scream: The TV Show (MTV) and Big Brother (CBS).

Source

This wasn't a show that I watch religiously but over winter break I binge watched the most recently season of the Bachelor (ya know the one where Ben told 2 girls he loves them *Insert eye roll emoji here). At the end of the season when they announced that JoJo was going to be next Bachelorette I knew I had to watch it. Mainly because I love her and she seems so sweet. And yes, I know you can't judge someone by how a reality show portrays them but I love her anyways. 

Source

I love the Scream movie series (the first one is my favorite) so when MTV announced that they were going to make a TV series based on it I was intrigued. The first season got me hooked and I was beyond excited for season two (which I have been enjoying). My favorite characters are Audrey and Noah (both of who are slightly suspicious). As of right now I have no idea who this season's killer is. 

Source

If y'all have been around these parts for a while you probably know I LOVE Big Brother and watch it every season. In the past I have done weekly recaps on here but those are a lot of work and I just don't have the time to write them. Although I am brainstorming another way to share my love of a Big Brother on my corner of the internet but it might take some time before ones published. What I will say about this season is one of my favorite in a long time. I think this might have to do with the returning houseguests (Frank (BB14), Nicole (BB16), James and Da'Vonne (BB17)). I feel like when they bring back houseguests the game gets moving a little sooner because they already understand how to play. And for those who are wonder I am on #TeamNicole, #TeamCorey and surprisingly #TeamPaul (even if he was the jerk the first few episode). And my pre-season picks to win (before I knew about the returning Vets) this season are Paul for the guys and Michelle for the girls.

...reading After You by JoJo Moyes

Source

After You is the sequel to Me Before You. I'm only about 30 pages into and haven't gotten hooked the way I did to Me Before You. Although it takes time for me to get hooked to books sometimes so I'm still determined to finish it. 

...planning a new vacation!

My mom and I are going on a vacation in January and I'm super excited about it. It's one that we have been planning since I started college since it was going to be my graduation celebration. I'm not ready announce it quiet yet (its still over 160 days out) but I wanted to drop a hint. So I found a picture (which was taken by me) and cropped it so it wouldn't give it away but you'd get a hint. 

...getting excited about graduating and my future.

Throwback to my High School graduation circa June 2012

This is it folks, the light is at the end of the tunnel and graduation is coming up! I believe, I'm like 97% sure that I am graduating in December! The reason I say I'm 3% unsure it because things happen. If you guys remember I published this post over two years ago talking about changing my major. I went through a hard time when I realized that I didn't want to be a teacher (my original major) and had no clue what I was going to do. I think I may have found my correct path. I'm going to do a whole post about it, life update style, in the next couple of weeks.

...running 3 minutes straight!

Source

Recently I've decided to go back to the gym (at least in the summer I'm going 5 days a week!) and I've lost 4.5 pounds (as of July 11th). But the thing I'm most excited about is that I can run for 3 minutes straight. I've always wanted to run a 5K but I've never been a big runner. So when I returned to the gym about 3 weeks ago my main goal was to start running. I based my running plan on the couch to 5K (I post it down below). But changed it up a little to work for me. I've been going but by 15 second increments every few days rather then 1 minute increments. But I follow the how many minutes to walk when I hit the new minute. i.e. I'm currently running 3 minutes and walking 5 minutes on either side of the running. I also have a 5K goal but more on that when it gets closer.

...playing Best Fiends on my phone

Source

While the rest of the world is chasing Pokemon I have been trying to kill slugs. I heard about this game through a lot of YouTubers and thought it sounded fun. It is a lot like candy crush where you're matching (what looks like fruit) and you built your team in order to kill slugs. I love it and I'm completely addicted. I recommend it for anyone who enjoy(s/ed) candy crush. 

And that's what's been going on in my world. What has been going on your guy's world? Let me know in the comments down below!

Summer 2016 Bucket List

Hello All,

A few weeks ago I was playing around on the internet when I found a campaign that Eventbrite is running called, GOMO is the FOMO. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has become popular with popularity of social media, I notice it the most on Instagram when you see friends posting awesome pictures from their vacations, parties or days at the beach. But Eventbrite (When you can find and organize you own event) wants us to start looking at life differently but GOMO-ing. GOMO stands for Getting Out More Often. I think this is an awesome idea to focus on, especially because I want to have the best summer ever!

After learning about GOMO I was inspired to write my own Summer 2016 Bucket List. Although not everything on my bucket list involves going out they are things that will make me happy or help me eventually be able to go out. Either way these items are going to help me squish the FOMO.

1. I want to go on some adventures

Source

I love to create memories and have fun. This summer I want to go on some adventures with friends. and explore the world around me.

2. Read as many books as possible

Source

I love to read and during the school year I feel like I never get a chance to read. But during the summer I have plenty of time to read. This summer I want to read as much as possible and immerse myself in different worlds (wow corny much?😂). Plus I'm taking a young adult lit class next semester and I'm hoping the professor will put the list online ASAP so I can read the books ahead of time and save time during the semester. {PS - Currently reading Me Before You so keep an eye for a book review in the somewhat near future}

3. Daily Vlog!

Source

This summer I want to vlog everyday! I've actually started on my channel. You can check them out by clicking here. Although because of my work schedules I don't post videos everyday I am vlogging everyday and combining the days together.

4. Go to the beach more then once

Source

Every year my friend Tori and I go to the beach but that's normally the last time I go. I wouldn't mind go a few more times this year. It's nice to lay on the beach and read, I may even just go by myself so that I can read. LOL. PS you check out the post about mine and Tori's beach days here.

5. Save some molla

Source

College graduation is right around the corner. Which is scary. I need to start saving some money so that I need to buckle down and save some money. Plus I'm trying to save money to start traveling more. I have a bucket list of places I want to travel and there are even more location then when I originally wrote my Travel Bucket List.

6. Get a new car

Source

I love my car and I wold drive it for years to come but its starting to get old and I'm worried that it won't last much longer. So, this summer I'm going to safe some money and hopefully get a new car.

7. Blog a lot

Source

During the school year I don't have a lot time to blog so during the summer I want to blog as much as possible and get a lot content out on the blog. If you guys have any post requests let me know.

And this is everything I want to get done this summer. What's on your summer bucket list? Let me know in the comments down below. 

Boston 2015 Day 2

Hello All,

So the other day I wrote about Boston 2015 Day One. On our second day in Boston we woke up around 9:00 AM and got ready for the day. We loaded our stuff into the car and headed out for the day. Our first stop was Harvard Square. As some of you may know I have a mild obsession with the Ivy Leagues so Mama J said we should go see Harvard. When we first got there we went to this little Mexican place that was kind of like Chipotle. I personally didn't like it and Mama J thought it was just okay.

After some aimless walking we decided we'd do a tour. We did our tour through Hahvahd Tour which is tours done by actual Harvard students. We both really liked it. Our tour guide was a little enthusiastic but sweet all the same. We also stop in one of the shops and got some yummy Insomnia Cookies. I would definitely recommend this tour group.  

A snap from my snapchat {Snapchat judy_judy94}

After visiting Harvard we went to the North End and enjoyed a nice lunch at small italian restaurant. I can't for the life of me remember the name of. But it was cute and small and yummy. And that pretty much completely our time in Boston. We took the T back to our hotel. Go our car and drove home.

I had a great time in Boston. This has become a little tradition in our family and I hope that we get to do this again next year. 

Boston 2015 Day 1

Hello All,

Since I now have a new computer its time to recap so the things that I did this summer. In reality I didn't do much this summer . 🙈But one of the things that I did was spent a couple of days up in Boston with Mama J in mid June. 

The morning we left Mama J had some errands to run. I woke up when she was leaving and started packing and getting ready. Unfortunately it was raining which could have really messed up our plans for the night but we stayed hopeful and hit the road. When we got to Boston we checked into our hotel and hopped on the T to explore the Quincy market area. We had fun but we were soaking wet and cold. 

When it was time for dinner we headed over to the Prudential building and met up with my cousins, Carey and Noah for dinner. We ate dinner at 5 Napkin Burger. My cousins both got a burger which they both really liked but felt that it was big. Mama J got a salad I believe and it said that it was okay. I got a buffalo chicken appetizer and a side order of mac and cheese. I really liked the appetizer but the mac and cheese was a little more gourmet then I was expecting. Although this restaurant wouldn't be my first choice of restaurant I would return if other people wanted to go.

The whole reason that we went to Boston was for a Boston Red Sox game ⚾️. When we got to Feneway Park we were so excited to see that we had gotten seats under the awning meaning we'd be shelter from the constant rain. The first few innings of the game no one scored a run but around inning four or five the game really started. The final inning we were down by 3 runs and had pretty much given up on them winning. But in the last inning they got really close and it was the most intense inning I had ever watched. Unfortunately they lost but it was still a lot of fun.  One of the funniest part of the game was the two drunk couples behind us. They were loud and obnoxious and so funny to listen to between innings or when they other team was doing better then the Sox and I may have been slightly bitter.

The view from our seats

Selfie of Mama J and I. Don't you love Mama J's new Red Sox sweatshirt

When you're a Disney fan you have to take a picture of Red Sox Mickey Mouse right?

And a snap that I sent. {Snapchat judy_judy94}

After the Red Sox game we said our goodbye to Carey and Noah. Mama J and I headed back to our hotel where we watched some Criminal Minds and vegged before we crashed for the night.

Keep your eyes out for Boston 2015 Part 2 which should be up in the next couple of days.

Big Brother 17 Weekly Recap {Week 2}

Hello All,

Introduction to be written at the end of the week

Sunday, June 28, 2015:

This episode started out with the house guest learning what reward Da'Vonne and Vanessa got for sitting out of the first HOH competition. Well they got to fast forward through the week meaning that they couldn't be nominate nor evicted (obvi) this week. But not only that, they also go to take a player along with them. They each got 30 minutes to make their choice and every house guest pitched themselves. Vanessa who had no obivious alliance was able to hear everyone out and chose Austin who was the opposite of her and more of physical threat making it a good move for her to team up with him.

Da'Vonne on the other hand was worried because she already had a "solid" alliance with Audrey and Shelli. She became worried that the house would suspect they were working together if she chose one of them. Which pissed both Audrey and Shelli off. Ultimately Da'Vonne chose to bring Liz into the next week with her.

Source

After the BB Fast Forward twisted itself into place the talks about who would be nominated started. Right off the bat it was decided that they would attempt to backdoor Jace. Which is crazy, who attempts to backdoor in the first week? After that was decided the HOHs Jason and James went to informing all the houseguests that if they went up they were only going up as pawns. 

Jason got to pick his nominees first and chose to nominate Becky and John. Then it was James' turn and he nominated Jackie and Steve. The two sets of nominees battled it out to see who would get to hop off the chopping block. In this competition they had to walk across balance beams with foam blocks in order to build a skyscraper. Becky went out in this competition in complete Beast Mode with John nibbing at her heels. The other pair didn't seem to have the same luck. Steve had a very hard time keeping his balance. And although Jackie bragged about being a dancer she took quite a few tumbles herself.

Ultimately although it was close Becky and John came out victorious and won the competition. Meaning that Jason was de-throned as HOH and James became the offical HOH. And Steve and Jackie would remain on the block.

Wednesday, July 1, 2015
This episode was explosive to say the least. It opened with Austin and Jace trying to make an alliance with HOH James and Audrey. What they didn't know was neither Audrey nor James were taking it serious.

With alliances on everybody's mind the house started making mistakes that were seen in last season by creating a 8 person alliances. Which includes, Meg, James, Audrey, Jeff, Da'Vonne, Jason, Jace and Shelli who were getting ready to work with each other. Although at 4 AM the night before the POV ceremony (sorry I'm jumping around a little) to seal their alliance. One by one she went down and got each of the members and to "talk". Needless to say no one was that happy with this meeting which caused some major tension.

Another moment of tension arised in this alliance when Da'Vonne was counting trying to prepare for a possible counting competition. She went into one of the rooms which caused Clay, Shelli and Jeff to become suspicious. This caused a few a lot of necissary drama that left me thinking....what the        just happen?

Source

This week's POV was the spelling competition. This year instead of just spelling the longest words they also had to have the highest point value per word. The house guest who played in this competition were James, Jason, Steve, Becky, Jackie and John. The majority of the house guest scored around 6 points. But Steven blew the rest of the house guest out of the water with I believe a 12 point word of trombonist.

Source

With Steve having won the POV it became obvious that he would be taking himself off the block. This excited the Big yet rocky 8 person alliance because it meant that they could backdoor their major target, Jace. I'm still not sure why they were convinced he was a major threat but that's what the house saw. For a second James thought about playing a major twist and back dooring Audrey but ultimately he follow his alliance and nominated Jace.

Source

Making that at the end of the episode Jace and Jackie were up on the block getting ready to go home tomorrow night.

Thursday, July 3, 2015
The first eviction episode of the season episode aired this season. Before the eviction we watched Jace try to campaign for votes although Big Brother didn't give use enough time to really know what had happened in the house but more of a crash course in Jace's campaign.

Before the vote we were officially introduce to the twins. And the internet was right in guess that Liz was inside the house playing with her sister Julia.

Source

Finally it was time for eviction. Liz and Julia made Big Brother history by casting one vote to evict and they evicted Jace. Everyone else with the exception of Audrey also voted for Jace to leave making that Jace was the first player evicted from Big Brother 17.

In Jace's post eviction interview he said he knew that he was going home and had asked his allies (Liz/Julie and Austin) to vote him out in order to keep peace in the house. He was also told about the twin twist which means that Jace is officially out of the house and will not get a chance to re-enter this house.

After Jace's eviction the audience learned about this week's twist. Throughout the week Kathy Griffin will be calling the house guest. Every time the phone rings the house guest, in true Big Brother fashion will race to pick it up. Who ever picks up the seventh phone call gets to choose 3 house guest who don't get to vote in next week's eviction ceremony. I am really excited about this twist. I do hope that they call the house more then 7 times so it isn't a obvious for house who gets the power.

The episode ended with the HOH competition. In this competition they had re-build a movie sign for Kathy Griffin's new movie Ginger Fever. They played the game in two rounds. The first HOH is Becky and the second HOH is Shelli. I can tell you in my personal opinion I'm not a huge fan of either of these HOHs but it's still early in the game and about million things will change before next week.

Emma's Player of the Week
This week I wasn't 100% sure who I wanted to make my player of the week. Like a said earlier its still early in the season so there big game moves aren't big in the grand scheme of things. With that being said let's talk this week's player of the week.

So, this week's player it player who since the beginning of the summer has a little bit of target on their back because they remind the other house guest about a past player. And although they didn't win the BotB competition they got creative and tried their best. They also were able to save themselves in POV and pulled out a win using the word, "Trombonist". And because of that Steven is this week's player of the week!

So, until next week this was my Big Brother recap. Check back here next week for a new weekly recap. In the in between check me out on Twitter where I live tweet every episode.

BOOK REVIEW: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Hello All,

 

While you guys are reading this book review I'm up in Boston getting ready to go to a Red Sox game. You could say I'm pretty excited to be going on an adventure. But while I'm away (if only for a few days) I left you guys a book review to read.

 

So the 3rd book I read this summer was Jesse Andrew's Me and Earl and the Dying Girl the reason that I decided to read the book was because of a movie trailer I saw for the movie that is being made based on the book. {Could that sentence be any more awkward, I couldn't figure out to phrase. Sorry guys}. Anyways since the movie trailer is what got me into the book I figured I'd share it here.

 

This book is about a guy name Greg who is an inspiring film maker but he really doesn't think that he's very good at all. When he finds out that Rachel who of his childhood friends, kind of sort of not really girlfriend gets diagnosed with cancer. His mom thinks its a good idea for them to re-connect. So, with the help of his co-worker Earl he befriends Rachael and attempt to make a movie for her.

 

Unlike every other book about a kid with cancer this book IS NOT a love story and I love that fact! Last summer I read The Fault in Our Stars and to be honest I didn't like the book, it became to predictable. (You can read the review here) But while I was reading this book I didn't feel like I knew everything that was going to happen.

 

As a lot of you probably know or have figured out I like to read, like a lot. But I feel like this book would be a book that could non-readers to read. For one thing it is a funny a book. The chapter titles are so funny and so random. Its also written in so many different ways. From bulleted list to outlined list to a script format to just regular out book writing. Also

 

Greg breaks the fourth wall. He makes snarky comments and it really helped build who he was as a character. I feel like every other book written in the first person they are just telling a story instead of adding to their characterization.

 

Overall I give this book at 9 out of 10 and definitely recommend it. I can't wait to see the movie ASAP since it came out on Friday. Definitely keep your eyes movie review because it will definitely find its way on to this blog.
