The Selection Series by Kiera Cass Review/No spoilers.



     
      
         
       Oh my glob, these books are amazing. Never before did I think I'd adore a book on its views of people, politics, and love with a cover like that. Proves to not judge a book on it's cover.
       The Selection Series is by Kiera Cass, and I know it is kind of late to start on the series, but I heard that it was good, I started reading it, and it is pretty good. So, let's get started withe the review.
       So, this book is basically about America(a girl named America, you'll find out when you read it) who is enlisted into the Selection, it is almost like a competition for Prince Maxon's hand in marriage. 35 girls are entered, but only one would win.
       The idea is very good, and it is not like the evil lovey puppy books that throw it in your face, but it takes time, trying to make you think. The first book sets up this world, and the world that America lives in. It sets up the characters in a good way.
       But, in the Elite, the second book, (curse word) gets real. Politics, royalty, and loyalty are kind of put into the test. We get exposed to a rebellion going on within the land. And, then we have to put up with suspense.
       The One, is basically a finale that fits well, and there is two sequel books to the series, I need to read those next. Now, onto the characters!
       America is an exceptional main character. At some points she is the one we'd root for, but at times she just makes me sorry for the prince. She just is all over the place. I believe America has a will force, and is easy to relate to, but sometimes I want to strangle this girl and say "MAKE UP YOUR MIND, PLEASE!!!"
      The other contestants are rather good, and I started rooting for one girl in the Elite to get the crown, but then something happens that makes me cry inside. You know that preppy girl trope in books, especially in contests, well they clear that up with two characters and that made me really happy in the inside.
       Next is Prince Maxon, who I consider the secondary main character. This guy, is my favorite prince. The other princes in media and in books don't get that much character arcs, so this is a great change.
       To put it simply, he is awesome.
        I can't really talk about the other characters, because then that would spoil the book. So, that is my review on the Selection Series, I hope you enjoy this review, and that you think about reading it.

Favorite Food, I Guess.

               So, yesterday for class we discussed foods that we would like to eat. We also talked about what we would want for our best meal. It didn't take me that long to pick what I wanted for a dream meal because I was thinking about it for a really long time. For the fact that I was hungry.               I wouldn't get an appetizer because I just don't like appetizers. But, for the main course I have a nice lovely plan for it. I would have sushi, I like sushi. Inside the sushi would be, of course, rice, avocado, and eel maki. There would be a sweet sauce on top, along with soy sauce on the side.               Another part of the meal would be a nice lovely steak. I love steak, especially well-done steak. Along with potato wedges, or fries maybe.               Then, for desert. I always wanted to have ice cream cake. I have never have...

My Childhood Toy

        Another blog post for school, yay.......         When I was a little kid in my home state of Mississippi, things were always just okay back then. I'd always watch VHS tapes, I didn't really watched TV.          But, one day when I was in Kindergarten, I went to the usual discount store that you can find in any small town. It was where you could find antiques on a low price, along with other things like stuffed dolls, broken down bikes, and more. But, when we were there that day. I found a My Little Pony bag filled with original toy ponies, but it wasn't just 1 or 10. There were more than 30.          I was really excited, very excited. I went to my grandparents and showed it to them. They were surprised to find that it was on a really good discount, so they got it for me.          Since that day I played with those ponies, and got more later. Some were from new...

STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI REVIEW

       I watched it during Winter Break, and oh boy did this movie bring such a lovely stir. Some people hated it, other people loved it. On other notes I suppose I will have to look into my own little review of Episode 8 of the Star Wars Saga, the Last Jedi.            This is a no spoiler review, of course, and I will only give insight into the basic things not main story lines.         The story basically picks up right after the Force Awakens , with Rey on a planet with Luke Skywalker, the original hero of the first three movies. This movie has moments when Luke tries to teach Rey the ways of the force, but refuses many times. I honestly think the time on the planet with all the very odd things on it was my favorite part of the whole movie, other than Mark Hamill.          Mark Hamill plays Luke Skwalker, but unlike past movies. Luke is hardened by the failure with Kylo Len(AKA Ben...
