Scarlet review
Plot: *WARNING: THIS PLOT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS TO CINDER AS WELL AS SCARLET SPOILERS AFTER LIKE I DUNNO MAYBE THE HALFWAY POINT, I'LL PUT A "|" AT THAT POINT TO WARN YOU PEOPLE, SO DON'T COME CRYING TO ME* Scarlet's tough, open-minded, awesome grandmother has been missing for two weeks. They've decided that she's left on her own due to no trace of her, nor signs of struggle. Scarlet refuses to accept that, and goes off looking for her on her own. With help from a strange stranger named Wolf. Because that's a trustworthy name! Meanwhile Cinder is escaping prison and trying to figure out what to do - with the addition of flirty, funny, cocky, Carswell Thorne. Ah, Carswell. He's like the Han Solo type character (the author loves Han Solo, so that's why I think Carswell is her tribute). | Cinder's only lead is missing, and her Granddaughter is jumping off trains with a mysterious bad boy. With fangs. Who says he'll take her to her grandmother. Seems legit. As they get closer he keeps on giving her chances to get out. She won't accept them. Cinder is trying to figure out where her lead is, and her lunar magic. Which, has been out of her hands. And she's scared. Back to Scarlet, Wolf is evil, has Scarlet in his lair. Her Grandmere is there too. They were concerned about the Lunar princess but now that that's out, they wanna know how she resisted lunar bio electricity manipulation. Scarlet gets a chance to escape, with Wolf helping her, and Thorne and Cinder pick them up. They'll join. Kai agrees to marry Levana, and that's it.
Thoughts: I loved it, because of the addition of a tough feminist hero added to our previous feminist icon. Then there's Wolf and Thorne, who were awesome. If I was anymore in love with Kai, he'd be my age Captain America. Like, dang! He's really great. And while I ship Scarlet and Wolf, I know people are going to complain that, like in the previous book, the romance wasn't well developed. I don't know a lot about romance, but I do think it was the right thing to sacrifice for the awesome plot. I also don't mind it, because of love at first sight but not just seeing someone and marrying them in like a month, no the whole I want to get to know that person and crap romance. So, if you understood any of that... Also, Iko is awesome and I'm glad she's back. I hope she gets a good body, and maybe she can help Cinder like Nansi does for Kai.
Rating: 5/5.

its my birthday!
So, earlier I said today is a big day and you didn't really respond so I'm just gonna tell you
And yes, I did use the entire line from Tangled. But you're going to accept it, because you love me.
Yes, I am just gonna use Tangled gigs. Anywho....
Or maybe just Disney. Anyways. I'm 16! Yay! Because I'm sixteen, I can now:
-get a drivers license. After all my driving hours.
-get a job. Yay.
-date. That's right, I have the whole dating rule. I can now send reply letters to all those guys asking me out saying I'm available *sarcastic snort* it's totally my age that's been keeping guys from dating me. Duh.
I'm having a b-day party at Bam! And sleepover afterwards. I already opened my parents gift to me, which was a few things, one of which being a rocket racoon T-shirt that says "ain't no thing like me, except me!" Which I've wanted for a while and totally love. And it's sooo me! :)
My bestie Jessie also snapchated me ten things she loves about me, which made my day. It was great. She also sent six other video snaps because 16 snaps for my 16th birthday.
We're getting our yearbooks in school today, and there's chemistry club, so today is really great. Thank all of you for sticking with me, or just wandering here and reading this far into the post. Thanks.

Champion review
So, like... Sorry. But, bribery! Because I missed a couple (so, So, SO sorry!!!) I'm doing my champion review today. Enjoy.
Plot: *WARNING, PLOT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR BOTH THIS BOOK AND THE TWO OTHERS IN THE SERIES. WELL, KINDA, I MEAN, ITS NOT TO BAD, BUT WHATEVER. ENJOY* June Iparis (Aka fictional me) is the elector priceps, along with two other people. They're working a deal with the colonies for peace. 'Cept then the colonies get the plaque the republic was using to fight against them, and they're all like "this means war!" And they have to cough up a cure. Which they don't have. The only one who has survived and might be the key to the cure is Day's little brother, Eden. But Day doesn't trust the republic with his baby brother. And Day's dying. No one will help without a cure. Finally they convince Day to let Eden figure out the cure. 'Cept Eden's not the one the cure mutated from. It's June. They come up with a plan to wreck the colonies and June goes to the lab. In the middle of the plan they get a cure, but Day's already in action. They focus on getting everyone to safety and Day, in action gets wounded. June prays he'll live, and he wakes up from a coma a few months later with no memory of the past two-ish years. No memory of Jameson, Thomas or... Her. She leaves him (if you love me let me goo... Geez, gotta hate that recurring theme, eh? Dang it panic at the disco!) and then the next part of the book is ten years later, June, who's become best friends with Tess and Pascao, is meeting Tess for her birthday dinner. When she sees a blonde haired blue eyed boy going the same way. The last lines are them reintroducing themselves. "I'm June."
Thoughts: okay, I love, love, love, love, love, love, loved it. So, so much. But I had a few, minuscule problems. And some psychological things to think through. Anywho, imma start with the bad. Kay? So, I think the cure was found to easily. Like, "oh, it's not Eden and we took weeks of testing him. Here let's try June... INSTA-CURE! Dude, it was literally like, a few hours. It takes longer, okay! What the heck? Then there was Thomas confessing to Metias's death. Like oh my gosh. We know Thomas killed him, and Jameson ordered him too. We know he had his orders and plenty of other opportunities to save him, and they could've just talked over that with her not forgiving him for it. But no. Thomas has to talk about how he kissed Metias before killing him (which was the most awkward book scene ever. Like, um, awkward!) and how much he loved him and it was like uhh... No. Just no. I would've liked it, if not for Thomas saying he loved him and kissed him and crap (especially if, in the first book, he seemed to actually like like, as in have a crush on June...). I am so very especially thankful that Tess admitted she was just jealous of June and only loves Day as a brother, and Tess and June became friends. I love that so much. I also liked the "be careful of who you become" lesson. And, one of my favorite things that messed with my mind so much, was Thomas. When he escaped he went to the battlefront and got shot down. Following orders that much. It's... Psychologically smart people speak for like... Messing with your mind. Like, dude....
Rating: 4/5, for reasons mentioned.
