Sophie has a couple of boyfriends but after the first kiss the boyfriends don't electrify her the way she thinks a boyfriend should or, set her toes tingling. Until the Halloween Dance. A masked stranger dances with her. Sophie feels this attraction to him, all she really notices are his forearms. She spends the next days and weeks looking for those forearms! It's Christmas,her closest friends are away for the holidays. She takes her own little vacation. Sophie visits the museum, and Murphy calls to her. Sophie and Murphy do a little sketching together. Can Murphy be her new boyfriend? Will her friends like Murphy? What will happen if Sophie's friends don't like Murphy? Is Murphy the masked stranger from the Halloween dance?

It's That Time Of The Month Again
"I wore my brand new white satin panties to school today.
So, naturally, I got my period.
When Rachel gets hers, she calls it riding the cotton pony, Grace calls it surfing the crimson wave.
But I prefer to think of it as rebooting my ovarian operating system."

What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know written by Sonya Sones




I just finished reading this book. It is written in free verse. I enjoy reading novels written in free verse. They tend to read quick.


This book is a boys book. It is a sequel to What My Mother Doesnt Know. In My Girlfriend..., Robin is telling the story about getting a girlfriend, the moves he wants to make on her but doesn't get to second base, the ups and downs of the relationship he has with Sophie, dealing with obnoxious boys at his high school, and being able to audit an Art class at Harvard. There are laughs throughout the book. Enjoy the book.


Now for me to read What My Mother Doesn't Know

one of those hideous books where the mother dies written by Sonya Sones



Her name is Ruby, this book is about her. It tells the deeply hideous story of what happens when her mother dies and she is dragged 3000 miles away from her boyfriend, Ray, to live in L.A. with her father, who she has never met because he divorced my mom before she was born.

The only way I've ever even seen him is in the movies, since he's this mega-star who's been way too busy trying to win Oscars to even visit Ruby once in fifteen years.

Everyone loves her father, Everyone but Ruby!

This book is written in free verse, quick and easy read.
