The Birthstone Book Tag

Good morning, readers!  Today is my first official day of Summer break!  I celebrated by staying up way too late last night watching Star Wars and sleeping in this morning. 😉  I’m so totally crazy.

Anyway, I snagged this free-for-all tag off of my friend Savannah’s blog (which, unfortunately, is not public, so I can’t link to it), and decided to do it today.  I was tagged by two other tags recently, which I need to get to posting, but I decided to do the unofficial one first, because. . . me.  I think it will come together faster than the other ones though.  I’ll give myself more time to get those together.

??? {Mystery Quote #10} ???

10th “Mystery Quote”!!!

 

I feel like I should do something special, but I can’t think of anything. 🙂  Anyways, Bright Lights hasn’t interfered with “Mystery Quote” yet, but if it starts to be a problem I still might switch.  I might have troubles this fall when school starts.  Now,

Last week’s quote was from Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis; Chapter 15, “Three Thousand Friends”.  AWESOME book, go read it if you haven’t.  You can read Katie Davis’ blog here.

Ellen, Becca, Juliana, and Savannah guessed the right book; and Juliana blew this week out of the water guessing the chapter number, chapter name, and describing the chapter in less than a sentence–that from yours truly, who writes this kind of book review! 😀  Moving on, next quote:

The sounds of birds were everywhere, but with the heavy rain they must be keeping to their homes in the trees.  [He] only saw one occasionally, and it was never his bird, the one who had come to him in the mountains.

I wanted to do a different quote from that book, but I would have had to put in too many [he]’s to make sense. 🙂

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I’ll go ahead and throw in my favorite character post from May:

Mr. Revere and I by Robert Lawson – Mr. Revere or Sherry

Judge by R.J. Larson – King Akabe or Dan Roeh–or Kien, just ’cause he reminds me of myself. 🙂

Cinnabar: the One O’Clock Fox by Marguerite Henry – Cinnabar?

Fair Wind to Virginia by Cornelia Meigs – Francis Newington or Becky

Have any of you guys read these?  Have a favorite character?  Happy guessing!

Module 9 & 10 Story #2

I think I usually post like everyday when I do science stories, in which case it’s high time I posted Part 2! 🙂

Katie ran her comb through Mandy’s silky blond hair, the wet locks spattering a gentle mist behind it. Katie stood up and patted her sister’s shoulder. “Done.

“Alright, girls, get your shoes on then and let’s go get something to eat,” Dad answered.

Mandy hurried to the door at once, while Katie ran to put the comb away in the bathroom. Brian, whose hair required a little less time to be gotten presentable, stood already in his sandals, with the air of having done his good deed for the day. Katie slid into her flip-flops and grabbed her purse—she didn’t really need it, it wasn’t like she was buying lunch or anything, but she liked to have it with her.
