How to Ruin My Teenage Life
By: Simone Elkeles

What I find interesting about my book, "How to Ruin My Teenage Life," is there is this seventeen year old girl Amy where her life is going totally wrong. Her mom got married and moved to the suburbs, and now they are going to have a baby. Amy moves in with her dad in Chicago and signs him up for an online dating service. When she does, she has to pay and steals her dad's credit card with out him knowing. Later on, he finds out and is very mad. That is all that i found interesting about my book so far.

Well when I was reading "Mexican Whiteboy" what I found interesting were the characters. First of all Danny, the main character is a half mexican boy who is really skinny and really tall. He isn't very strong but he can throw a baseball harder than some major leaguers. There is also Uno, who is half mexican and half black. Danny and Uno started off enemies and then practicing baseball brought them to be best friends. They try to save money so they Uno can go live with his dad, and Danny who can see his dad for the first time in years. They use baseball to hustle some kids from different schools. What I find interesting is the way baseball is used in this book and the dynamic characters.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

(This is for the post that was late for last week). Well so far in my book i like that Henry (from the future) travels back to the past of Clare's childhood and he meets her several times and they fall in love. But when Henry and Clare meet in the present he has not yet visited her childhood because that was Henry's future self, so Clare knows all about Henry. But Henry thinks hes just meeting her for the first time. I thought that was interesting because its an odd twist to the story. It can get confusing at times but its interesting to read. Its just such a unique book.
