Two books blogged by Jayiera M.

I read 5 more hours. The first 3 hours was when I was reading Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not so Talented Pop-star. The Halloween dance is over, and Nikki is on her crush Brandon’s radar.  Mean girl Mackenzie is someone that she can contend with.  And now, the next bit of drama begins. Bugs are invading the school, and Nikki is afraid people will learn the truth – that she’s a scholarship student. Her father arranged the scholarship because he’s the school’s exterminator.  As Nikki meddles so the truth won’t come out, she thinks she’s lost the scholarship and has to pay a huge tuition bill!  Her solution…. to enter the school’s talent contest. One of the prizes is a scholarship to the school. But mean girl Mackenzie doesn’t want Nikki to succeed and tries to block her in every way. 

The last 2 hours I was reading Amelia Hits The Road. Amelia documents her travels all around the US. She talked about how annoying her sister is and how cool some of the attractions are.

Books read to young children blogged by Jayiera M.

I've read 5 hours and 5 different books. The first and second hours I read to my little sisters and brother. The book was called The Gingerbread Man. This book is about an old man and an old woman who make a gingerbread cookie in the shape of a man. The gingerbread man comes to life and runs out of the house yelling "Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man." The old man, the old woman, a cow and a cat cannot catch him. He then meets a sly fox along the way and the fox convinces him to jump on his back so he can cross the river. The fox tells the gingerbread man to jump on his head so he does not get wet. The fox opens his mouth and eats the gingerbread man in one bite. The third and fourth hours I read was to my baby cousin. I read him a bunch of different types of books. I don't remember every book title I read to him but I know i few of them. The  names are The Little Engine That Could, Baby's First 100 Words, and Night Night. The last hour I read was a magazine. I want to tell about the interesting article I read. The article was in French. I took french class in school so I knew some of the words. The words I didn't know I looked up. The article was about a 1 level house that had 1 bathroom, kitchen, 1 bedroom, and a living room. The story was very amazing.

This book takes place in summer 1928 and shows what is happening in the neighborhood of Green town, IL.  Throughout this book the main character, Doug experiences many things and learns quite a few lessons!
