So, I talked about this a little bit, but I thought I would go a little more in depth.
The book is about a girl who goes on a road trip with her parents to see her mother. The way the book is told, it's unclear whether her mother is dead or alive.
Along the way she tells her grandparents about many stories that are supposed to be interesting. Many of which have some kind of "Plot twist," that I always saw coming.
There were only two parts in the book that were good. Towards the end, I thought it wrapped up neatly, and also the end, because the pain was over.
I'm making the book sound really bad, but don't get me wrong, it was bad. But not in your face bad. It tricks you into liking the characters only for the book to disappoint over and over. Overall, the story wasn't that great, but the characters kept me going.
I recommend this to anyone who hates reading.

FL Studio Remix
I used a program called FL Studio to make a remix of a song from one of my favorite games, Undertale. On my Undertale Amino page, which is basically social media for Undertale nerds, I posted an art contest to draw one of the characters in steampunk form. The winner's art was used in the song. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Books
For school, I have read six books so far. I'm going to go over them now.
March - The story is split into 2 books, well, there might be a third, but I only read the first 2. They are graphic novels about racial issues and the march in Selma. It's a really good story and I highly recommend it.
Robin Hood - These stories are timeless. They may not be the best, but they are entertaining.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - This story is a drug trip. Also, there is so much they left out from the Disney movie. I really enjoyed reading the book, but Alice drove me crazy. She told a story about her cat to a bunch of mice. They all ran away, then she wondered why they left. Wow, you can't get better than this.
Walk Two Moons -The early parts of this story were really boring. They even had an entire chapter about Old Faithful, where they spent page after page explaining how wonderful it was. Every chapter early on was the same, but once you had the last 70 or so pages of the book left, then and only then, did it get good. If you have a short attention span, I would say, don't read this. This books is like the worlds slowest oven. You wait and wait for your food to be ready, and when it is, you've already made yourself a tuna sandwich. Yeah . . .
A Single Shard - This book, Ok, don't even get me started with this book. Walk Two Moons, it set a precedent that said, "Here is the book, it's slow, but don't worry, it gets good." This book just says, "Hi, welcome to pottery 101." Not. Even. Kidding. This book spends the entire time just telling you about all the wonderful pottery this kid made. In the last 20 pages of the book, he goes on an adventure. Sounds good right? Wrong. The adventure is dull.
The Diary of Anne Frank - This book was a little dull, although you have to keep in mind, unlike A Single Shard and Walk Two Moons this wasn't a story, this was a diary. Since it isn't a story, you're just hearing about her day to day life, which is actually pretty interesting. So even if it dragged on a bit, it still is really good. It's interesting to hear about a Jewish person during WWII.
Well, these are all the books.
