Graphic Evolution

Okay, so you know that girl Rose? She is doing a blog tour for the book GOSSIP FROM THE GIRLS' ROOM and today she shows what characters in the book ALMOST looked different than they do now! You can see my BFF, Nona and how she used to look waaaay angrier. Oh, and my boyfriend (he just doesn't know it yet), Andrew, almost looked really non-cute. So go check it out! Oh, and you can click on a link over there to see how I might have looked differently too (Yikes!).


What if Nona almost looked like THIS?

Other Things Books Are Good For

Books are good for a few things. Things such as:

1. Swatting mosquitos. Or spiders. But I only recommend this if the book is disposable. Like a telephone book.

2. Throwing at your friend. My BFF Nona threw a book at my head once. Among other things. Um yeah,   that KINDA hurt!

3. Making you taller. Really. If you stack a bunch of books you can stand on them to reach something super high that you're probably not supposed to be reaching for. But it's the challenge, right? Oh, and make sure each book is Harry PotterThick. Otherwise, you'll need like, a bazillion skinny books.


A girl. A guy. A ghost. A heist. Yikes!
 4. Okay, the most obvious reason of all, reading. You probably thought I forgot about that one, huh? Well, one of my favorite authors is Barrie Summy. She writes these awesome mystery type books. It even has ghosts in it! Anyways, I finished reading another one of her books and i'm addicted. Good thing it's a series and there's a bunch out there. You can check out her website at http://www.barriesummy.com/.

What are some of your favorite books?
