Something to blog about
Something to blog about is a novel written by Shana Norris.Published in 2008 by Amulet Books, an imprint of Harry N. Abrams, Inc.It tells the story about the high school life of Libby,the girl who writes blog everyday to records events and expresses moods.

Plot summar: The chapters in this book are interspersed with pages from Libby's blog. Libby's having a rough time. Her mother is dating Angel's father, the evilest girl in school, and Seth, her crush, barely notice she's alive. Plus, she just set her hair on fire in front of her whole chemistry class, which includes Seth. What's a girl to do? Libby decides to start writing in an online journal, setting it to private so that no one will learn her innermost thoughts. Now that Libby has somewhere to vent, life is getting better. Until her mom invites over Angel and her father for a "bonding" dinner. Then Angel posts Libby's blog pages all over school and Libby's life is a mess again.

Characters: Libby - the girl who has rough time during her high school year Angel - Libby's enemy, who eventually became Libby's step sister Keisha - Libby's best friend Seth - the guy who Libby loves, but he rearly pay attention on her Mr.Rivera - Angel's dad, also the boyfriend of Libby's mother

Theme: Embarrassing moments sometimes seem like they are the end of the world, but really, everybody has them. One day you might be laughed at and sometimes embarrassing moments help people to remember the good things about you, many years from now.

Reflections: I loved this story because it was fun to read Libby's posts. Libby is an absolutely lovable character and I fell in love with her the moment that she caught her hair on fire. It's such a fun hodge podge of high shool calamity and the ending is equally great - not too perfect. I recommend reading this if you're feeling down about your own embarrasing moment or if you're just looking for a fun read.
