I Will Not

• Drink more than 14 alcohol units per weeks
• Smoke
• Spend more than earn
• Get annoyed with Mum, Una or Perpetua
• Have crushes on men

I Will

• Stop smoking
• Give all the clothes I have not worn for 2 year or more to homeless
• Be more confident
• Go to the gym 3 times a week 
• Form functional relationship with responsible adult

These are just some of the things Bridget is trying to change or do during her upcoming year. My mum found this book at the book sale, she read it when she was younger and said I should read it. The book starts out with Bridget going to a New-Years-Eve party with her family and friends, however her mother sets her up with a man,Mark, who has recently divorced and is a  well-known lawyer(Mark is a childhood friend). Bridget is now a 30-year old adult, dealing with problems most adults deal with:smoking, wanting to lose 7 pounds etc. She has absolutely no self-confidence, wonders why guys don't like her and wants to change her life, some obstacles she has to overcome are her parents and her mind. Mark is a very serious but weird man as he says, "Are you reading any, ah... Have you read any good books lately?", what man asks that to a woman when they meet after years! I mean come on, be more casual.
   I haven't read much of the book yet, but it sounds like it could be ok after all, I am interested to see what changes Bridget will actually be able to achieve and what she will fail in. I haven't yet understood what Bridget looks like, is she obese? or does she just eat too much? I am hoping to figure it all out as I continue to read.

This summer i saw the film with my friend.I was so amazed that i tried to find the book.In the book the characters have different names,they also have a little bit different personality.'The Diary' is better to read than to see the film.The writer uses an interesting choose of ward and has a vivid imagination.It sets the tone for the book.When I finished reading the book i was stunned with the twists that happen in the book.
I recommend reading it!If you don't want to get stressed out;and don't want a romantic story where you can already tell whats going to happen or something that is fiction read 'The Diary'.Its easy going,it is a love story but it also talks about some of the problems that people have like being an alcoholic or smoker.In the book you can also see how did she stop smoking and drinking.
The book is really amazing!
I loved reading it and i can tell that i will read it next year,just to see if i will see it differently!

Alex's Blog Post Week 5

Title: Demon Theif
Author: Darren Shan
Pages Read: 250/250
Genre: Horror, Adventure, Mystery

The second title of the Demonata Series, and takes place with a different protagonist named Kernal Fleck. I found that in this book it goes more into the mind of the protagonist and others, and describes the characters a bit more. Instead of just writing about fear and gory violence, Darren writes about what the characters think in every moment, save a few characters; Lord Loss is described in a lot more detail, and objects generally have more meaning. I think Darren got criticism about his first book being mindless violence, or he just wanted to start the series with an explosion. Either way, the summary is next.

Kernal is a normal by with the exception of being able to see "the lights", which are little bits of light that float around him and only he can see them. One day, he decides to put these lights together as he sees a jigsaw puzzle. In the end, he ends up making a glowing rectangle which, inadvertently, is a portal to Lord Loss. Lord Loss hypnotizes him into a magical slumber. He goes through the portal and then the intro stops. Kernal wakes to see his family in a state of distraught and all he remembers is that he woke up with his baby brother, who hasn't been mentioned in the introduction of his character. He loves his brother and his parents confuse him as they have never seen this baby before and yet Kernal thinks the baby has always been with them. In the end, they can't find the baby's true family and let him stay.
A week later, during class, a portal starts forming IN the teacher and makes her explode into fragments. The children of the class scream, and Kernal passes out. He wakes up to see several students killed and torn apart by a demon, who is seen taking his "brother" and back into the portal. Not wanting to lose his brother, Kernal runs after the demon through the portal just as it closes, and he wakes up in a weird world where bamboo is a sentient being trying to kill him. Before it does, some magic guys break him free from the plant and saves him. They introduce themselves as Disciples, which are basically guys who kill demons and make sure they don't enter the human world. They explain that demons live in the Demonata world, which is basically an infinite amount of worlds all

AWESOME!!!

Quote from book:"Only my pain will last forever" 

Fearless

 Fearless
 Eric Blehm
Biography
272 pages

quote from the book: "Adam was born three minutes after his twin sister, Manda, and it was the last time she beat him at anything. She came out crying; he came out quiet, looking around" I like this quote a lot because it describes how tough Adam is and even as a baby you could see it. 

 I already mentioned that Fearless is a novel about a man who was born fearless and grew up as a really good kid but in collage got involved into drugs, alcoholism, and addiction. But being the strong and good man that he is Adam got himself out of it with hard work and went to go fight in Afghanistan as a navy seal officer on the SEAL team SIX (also the team that took down Osama Bin Laden). He has 2 kids and a wife who misss him dearly after he died the Hindu-Kush mountains. He lost all his fingers and had them sewn back on and he also lost an eye and yet he continued to be an amazing navy seal officer. His life is absolutly amazing and inspiring, even though he left the world in 2010. His path to redemption is absolutly remarkable. As a child Adam was such a tough boy, he once completly slashed his head open in school and simply got up and told everyone, I think I need to go to the nurse and left. Also in High School he went to a party, but it took a lot of convincing for his mom to let him go. Because it was on a boat, Janice, his mother, said that teens partying and a boat dont mix well, but he promised her to wear a life jacket at the party. And he did! Even when his friends told him "dued your moms not heat you can take the jacket off" He said "nah its ok, i promised". Adam was a man of tough character and good morals he never broke a promise, until his addicitions came. I am at the pat where it shows his bad time, where he got addicted to crack and his girlfriend Cindy got him into it. He would dissapear for days and not come back for a whlie and his parents didnt know wheather he was alive or not. Eventually Cindy broke up with him, no one could be more pleased, but Adam continued his addicition and didnt stop. I dont know what will happen next but I am very intrigued to see how Adam will go on his path of redemption. He really is a remarkbale man and I reccomednt this book to anyone!
