Wattpad Obsession

As I've introduced in my blog before, Wattpad is an amazing app. It's such easy access and its really encouraged me to read as much as I can. I read this book called, "Somber". It's an action packed, romantic story. I have to say that I read this story in about two days. It never fails to surprise me that kids my age actually wrote these books. I think I might write one this summer. I took Creative Writing I in the first semester and I've learned so much through our column writing unit about diction and syntax from Mrs. Bross. I'm excited to write a story of my own.

I'm sad the column unit is coming to an end. Sure, working on the creative non-fiction project was stressful especially for a perfectionist like me, however, it was extremely fun. I loved how it included both writing as well as a creative aspect. Hence the name, creative non-fiction. Next week is the week I've been dreading. PAARC testing. But, I do have a book that I picked out for next week. It''s called: "I Hate MySelfie" By: Shane Dawson. It's a comedic title, I think you can identify that from the title. I'm so happy to start reading it because I actually went to a bookstore to meet the author. We took a picture and he signed my book. It was one of the best moments of my life. I'll include a cover of the book to the side. Until next time, Happy Reading! It's almost the end of the year, crazy!

Four Agreements

I'm back this week with a new book that I've been extremely inspired by. See, I'm the type of person to act like I'm a therapist. I've always been the friend that would give advice on absolutely anything. I think the simple act of feeling like you helped someone brought warmth to me. Anyways... before I trail on and start giving advice on how to deliver advice, my book this week is: Four Agreements by: Don Miguel Ruiz. It's honestly a book that I bought because of the intriguing cover. I know, "don't judge a book by it's cover". However, I did. And I fell in love with this book. It creates a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. It's definitely a different style of reading as you can tell. It really changed my outlook on life and just enhanced my positive attitude everyday. It's full of important lessons and guides you to enlightenment. This might not be everyone's cup of tea but I've always thought advice books were amazing.

I would definitely rate this 5/5 in a heartbeat. I love the type of books that leave an impact. We read so many books these days that may give us entertainment for a week or two, but after that, what are we left with? I promise you that this book will transform you in some way. It wasn't a New York Times bestseller for nothing-- for 7 years to be exact. I'll leave a picture of the cover to the side. I bought this book for a low price on Amazon and the thoughts I were left with are so valuable. I hope you take into consideration to read this book because I want people to enjoy it as much as I did. It's audience is very broad. And I'll leave off with my favorite quote from the book which is, "Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art." (Miguel Ruiz)
