This week I've been reading witch child by Celia Rees pg 1-106. Mary Newbury is a girl in her middle to late teens in roughly 1659. She runs from the witch hunts in the countryside of england. In the countryside she lives with her grandma who's a midwife and herb woman. When the grandma is sent to hte hanging Mary is 'abducted' by her mother who takes her to london where she gets together with a puritan family sailing to America. On the boat she makes good friends with a sailor boy named Jack who's future and past she see's. She talkas about how this sight isn't a gift its a curse knowing how and when people will die. Mary is very much the normal girl, she likes boys, tries to ignore gossip and have fun.

This week I read l8r g8r this weekend by Lauren Myracle. This books series is kindly written in IM chats between three best friends Zoe, Angela, and, Maddie. All the girls in this book seem real and they have real problems and dramas. The girls try to hold on to their life as high schoolers while going through their senior year. Boys almost always spark all drama between friends. The other spark is the popular kids, everyone knows who they are and what they do and everyone hates them equally yet they still stay popular, the same in this book as real life. l8r g8r was a good book and i enjoyed it. I recommend it but be warned it is of course, Chick Lit.
