MY TWO YEAR BLOGOVERSARY!!!!!

Similar to my one year blogoversary last year, I posted over my Thanksgiving break when I finally remembered about it, that it was my blogoversary in end of September/beginning of October. I remembered about the same time this year it appears, five minutes ago in fact, and so here I am recognizing it now. No giveaways or anything like last year, I don't have the time or means for that but I still shall acknowledge it all the same.

 

I would just like to thank my 8th grade English teacher, Mr. Allen, for introducing me to Goodreads and inadvertently starting this blog and causing a revolution in my reading life. I literally am not the same person because of discovering Goodreads and the book blogging world.

 

I would like to thank all of my followers for not hating me for doing blogging a little differently. For not posting often, and being inconsistently active. I appreciate that people read my reviews and do pay attention, and that makes all the difference.

 

I enjoy reviewing, reading, and communing over books with all of you and it feels weird that it has been and yet has only been two years since this whole wonderful world was opened up to me.

 

So thanks again to everyone. I hope I'll be doing this for a while to come. And stick around even when it appears I have disappeared. I will always come back I promise ;) 

 

 

My Good Job, Kanani by Lisa Yee Book Review on Goodreads

Good Job Kanani by Lisa Yee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Just finished reading this book today. I'm finally up-to-date on my reviews. Yipee!



Okay, so book 2. Not as good as book 1. I didn't find as much of the Hawaiian charm that I loved so much from the first book. And I didn't really like the friendship struggle between Kanani and Celina. American Girl books don't usually have that much separation between friends in their books. I thought that Kannani's fear of surfing was a bit unrealistic because she hadn't really tried very hard in the first place. As I read, I thought it was kind of weird how Kanani didn't really try to find Jinx, and it wasn't constantly her angst. Not as well written or exciting/interesting as the first. I find this is a common theme with the second Girl of the Year books. This is why I think they shoud have kept it at one.



The only reason I rated this book 5 stars was because I just love American Girl. And it was so sweet and unrealistically perfect (as usuaal). :)
