Only the Good Spy Young

Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series is getting better and better. I've recently read Only the Good Spy Young and I am amazed at how this series has changed. In her first book the main character Cammie basically uses her spy training to stalk a boy, and now she's really changing into the spy she's meant to be. I really think this series is fun to read. It's basically written for teenage girls, so I don't really think a boy would enjoy it too much. The newest book in the series was probably the best one so far, but sometimes Ally Carter uses a few words that a teenage girl wouldn't use. Cammie often says words in the book like slappage. I love Ally Carter's books, but I'm pretty sure teenage girls don't add -age to the end of any words. So despite the laughage that is caused by Ally's wordage, I loved her book. It's very good readage for any teen girls or preteen girls. I'm dying to find out what happens to Cammie next. Hopefully Ally will get hurry and get out some more Gallagher Girl books. I think that's enough girlie bookage for a few weeks. I realize it's not even August but I just got a homework assignment in the mail from my English teacher. So I will be reading Shakespeare for a really long long long time....Hopefully I should get some other readage in and do some blogage soon. Oh, and if anyone wants signed Ally Carter books, they have some at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. Have fun reading about some spyage! These books really are great!!!

Geekness!!!!

I've always loved reading books in which a character has the same name as me. That's why when I saw Geek High and Geek Abroad by Piper Banks I was super excited. The main character Miranda Bloom sounded just like me from what I read on the back of the books. However, I am far from being a math genius and I don't have an evil step-mother. I greatly enjoyed reading these first two books, and I recently noticed that Piper Banks wrote a new book for the series. Summer of the Geek was probably the best book that Piper Banks has written so far. The story was interesting and always kept me guessing. Poor Miranda, her life is much more complicated than a geek's life should be. Now, the only thing wrong with this book probably can't be blamed on Piper Banks. There were so many typos and grammatical errors in this book, that I had to stop myself from reaching for a red pen and correcting them all. For one paragraph, Mrs. Fisher changed to Mrs. Fox, and this wasn't the only name issue. I'm pretty sure that Dex was never dating Hannah, and I'm also positive that Hannah and Hanna are the same person despite what the book says in two paragraphs. Also, why did Mrs. Fisher introduce her daughter to her husband? Plus I don't know how Finn could magically talk when he isn't even around. Besides the name mistakes, the typos were annoying and somewhat confusing, and unless you're Donald Trump, people feel bad, not badly. Of course my all time favorite line in the book was when Miranda said "I stopped smiling and ran a tongue over my teeth." So not only is Miranda a geek, but she has more than one tongue. No wonder Dex likes to kiss her so much. Even though this was a great book, there will be a proof reader out of a job soon.
