Think of a fat, juicy hamburger with everything you love on it right at your fingertips. Now I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, but now think of the cow that used to live. About 900,000 cows get slaughtered per day and a lot of these cows feel scared, uncomfortable, and harmed during the process. Temple Grandin has always had a sincere love for animals. Today she works to make a better life for animals that live in a slaughterhouse. Many animals get abused and live thei

HAPPY NEW YEAR! With it being that time of year, I have not had time to finish reading Linked yet but I am reading another book alongside Linked . In fact I will be reading it alongside every book I read in 2024. My dad and I even made this our New Year's Resolution! At this point your probably thinking: wow, great, WHAT IS THE POINT? Well, the point is that this book consists of short meditations for every night before you go to bed. The book has the days labeled for yo

With Thanksgiving coming up ( or even just on a daily basis ) we all should observe things that we are thankful for. Of course, I'm very grateful for books. At the moment, I love Anne of Green Gables. The ability to blog also gives me so much joy, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to blog. Those are some things I am appreciative for. In a picture book called the "Thankful Book," the author lists all kinds of things you can be thankful for. This book is by Todd Parr an

I am reading The Royal Diaries: Marie Antoinette Princess of Versailles. If you don't already know, Marie Antoinette was the Princess of Versailles. She was born into Austrian Royalty and had to marry well. This book is based on her life and tells Marie's innermost thoughts. Marie Antoinette explains how she feels about the marriage. I like to think Marie Antoinette wrote it. This book is not word for word of what she wrote because it is fiction. Either way it is a good book

After finishing that huge Harry Potter book, I decided to take a short break from the series and read some other books. I got "Where is the Empire State Building?" at my school library. It is not a very long book. This book is part of the Who Was series, which has over 200 titles. All their books are very informative, but they also do a good job of making their books interesting. I will be honest there were a few parts of this book where I was a bit confused. I did understand

I do not usually read biographies or even nonfiction, but the Who Was Series, introduces biographies to children. I like them because they are full of information but are not too boring. Previously, I have read a few books from Who Was Series including, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Alexander Hamilton, and Martin Luther King Jr. I have also watched every episode of the Who Was Show on Netflix, these are also filled with interesting facts and are also hilarious. I am now reading Who i

This secret pulls him into a crazy adventure. The adventure comes with the creative process and changing the way of doing the secret. Danny does it. It scares him.

Who Was Kamala Harris Kamala was the FIRST at a lot of things. Kamala was the FIRST person of color and the FIRST female to become the vice president. Interestingly, she did not pass her FIRST bar exam. She took another one. Then, Kamala Harris passed the exam! Then she served as a district attorney. Soon after that she became a senator.

Sorry I have not posted; I will talk about 2 books in 1 post. Then I will be able to catch up with my reading. The 2 books will be: Nancy Drew and the Quest of the Missing Map and Who was Ruth Bader Ginsberg. NANCY DREW and the QUEST of the MISSING MAP I was writing a book report about a mystery book of my choice for school. I picked a Nancy Drew book. Mystery books are not really my style, but I liked this book. Sometimes I get nightmares about mysteries, but I did not ge
