Well, there's not much to blog about. I abandoned Peeled because I just couldn't take the torture. I really tried to just grin and bear up, but there's only so much of a boring book a person can read. I don't recommend ANYONE read that book. It follows every stereotype out there so there's nothing that makes it unique...at all. I have no idea why everyone liked it so much. I heard so many good things about it that I almost can't believe I was reading the book so many people raved about. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK.

Anyhoo, there's not much to blog about this week. I've been searching for a book to read and have been pretty focused on reading A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. It seems that the only book I've read much of is that, but I don't think I can blog about that, so I'm going to talk about the book I plan on reading next. It is called Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Paterson. I read a little today, and can tell that it is set in the 1940's or 50's and the main character is named Sara Louise. She lives with her sensitive mom, fisherman dad, and pretty senile grandmother. I can't tell if her sister, Caroline, is older than Sara and lives on her own or if she still lives with the family, but I can tell that Sara is extremely jealous of her sister. However, she is jealous with good reason. Her sister gets practically all the attention in the family, and even when the girls' parents describe the two as babies they make Caroline sound amazing and make Sara sound just, ordinary. I hope that this book will take a different route than Peeled and will be unique with an interesting plot that actually makes me WANT to read it.
