Matched by Ally Condie

      One of the books I have recently read is Matched by Ally Condie. It's kind of like the Giver by Lois Lowry, but in my opinion, better. Matched is about a girl named Cassia who lives in a Eutopian kind of city, that isn't such a Eutopia. The officials basically control their lives. Where they live, their job, who they marry/ who they're matched with, when they die! Cassia is 17 when she gets her match and it turns out to be her life-long best friend, Xander. She's happy and everything is great until there's what the officials call a "glitch" with her matching screen. A face other than Xander's flashes for an instant, than is gone. Now Cassia has to choose between Xander and the life she's always known, or Ky and a life no one has ever dared to try....... It was such a good book and I absolutely LOVED it. If you read it I'm pretty sure you will too! :~)

Guess who's writing a book????

     Sorry I haven't posted in a REALLY long time, it's just that I had vacations, and school, and tons of homework...... Anyway, I've decided to write a book!!! It's going to be called, The Dragon Sorcerer!!! I'm not very far and it's going to take me a while, but at least I'm making progress. :) So far I've got the prologue and the beginning of chapter one. I work on it as much as I can while still paying attention in class, but I'll post about it when I get farther along.
