#18: My youth group at church. I'm very thankful and lucky to have a safe place to go to and be myself! (Besides Writer's Digest, of course.)
#19: My friend is saving up for a ukulele, and I'm happy for her because she's been really wanting one and she's already really good.
#20: SUMMER VACATION IS STRETCHING OUT AHEAD OF ME IN THE MOST GLORIOUS MANNER POSSIBLE!
Next we have a part of this post that I've been looking forward to...a lot. :-) I'm going to be reacting to my first ever post! This is very exciting for me, because I can't wait to ridicule myself! All of my thoughts that I'm adding on right now will be in bold, like I just modeled. Let's begin! (I just copied and pasted the entire post into this one.)

Happy Summer!Olivia, you don't capitalize summer. Get with the program. Get ready for the hot sun, evenings spent at the pool, and popsicles galore(what??). Ahhhh...
Welcome to the Writer's Digest, a blog written especially for you: aspiring authors and ravenous readers! when you try so hardTo start off, how about some book recommendations to stick your sunscreened noses into this summer? I thought I was so cool, saying "sunscreened noses." News flash: people don't wear sunscreen inside. Which is where you read. Feel free to add more in the comments.
Olivia's June Top Ten
1.) The Candymakers by: Wendy Mass
This will appeal to you if you're a fan of realistic fiction that has the power to transport you to the setting of the book. Wendy Mass does an outstanding job of creating visuals with descriptions! the book is just fabulous! there we go!
2.) The Lightning Thief by: Rick Riordan
Modern mythology at its best (ooh, that was nice), this book is witty (aka funny) and will have you at the edge of your seat! This is a must-read!!as are all of these...duh.
3.) Escape Under the Forever Sky by: Eve Yohalem
A former Texas Bluebonnet book (2012-2013) this adventurous realistic fiction novel paints a perfect portrait of Lucy Hoffman and her amazing yet terrifying experiences.there is not near enough information in this miniature review for someone to actually want to read it. I am very sorry for my inept self.
4.) The Mysterious Benedict Society by: Trenton Lee Stewart
"Like the Potter books, his story goes beyond mere adventures, delving into serious issues." -Booklist.This is certainly true! Amazing beyond words, I encourage you to branch out to the rest of the series, too. yas! love it still!
5.) Welcome to Camden Falls by: Ann M. Martin
Just the beginning to the incredible Main Street series, Welcome to Camden Falls will definitely be delicious for your reading taste buds!uh heheheh...heh...no. This book is highly recommended.by me, your glorious bookworm!
6.) Warriors by: Erin Hunter
There are many different series, but I would start with the first series, about Rusty, the curious kitty who may change ThunderClan forever...read more to find out! this also has no information. IT'S ABOUT CATS. IT'S GOOD. THUNDERCLAN IS LIKE A HOUSE IN HARRY POTTER. (sort of)
7.) Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day by: Meg Cabot
A nine-year-old girl, Allie Finkle has just the same experiences as any other girl in the real world: friendship problems, moving to a new school and wanting a local restaurant to free the turtle they keep in the lobby. This is an excellent realistic fiction read! this one is actually ok. bravo Olivia!
8.) My Last Best Friend by: Julie Bowe
Ida May is upset when her best friend moves and seems to forget about her. What will she do? I recommend this for girls looking for a short but sweet book. I found this under a couch and then read the whole thing in one day. it's amazing and the rest of the series is great too, who knows why I didn't say that when I first wrote this.
9.) The Year of the Dog by: Grace Lin
I can never get enough of this book! It's one of those books that you feel like you can read over and over again without getting sick of it. still is. You'll have a great time diving into The Year of the Dog. except don't dive, because it may cause paper cuts.
10.) Every Soul a Star by: Wendy Mass
A bittersweet how? oh yeah... yet incredible story, three people who never would have spoken to each other come together because of a solar eclipse. Read it to find out what happens!this is so helpful. OF COURSE YOU READ IT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS!
I hope you enjoy those books! Check back soon for another post. :)
