Minders by Michele Jaffe Review

Hey there!

It seem like recently I'm popping out review after review. :D That's a good thing though. It means I'm getting more into evaluating what I've read and how I felt about it. 

So as you might know, Minders is not a book I own. You know what that means: Library!! 

My mother, the kindhearted woman she, decided to pay down one of the library cards instead of waiting for the Summer so we could pay it down with fine wavers. I'm so happy that she did but I also feel horribly spoiled. So I made a promise to myself that I'd only check out a total of 5 books per week. 3 regular books and 2 manga. No more than that. 

I haven't had the chance to fulfill that promise yet as I still haven't been to the library but I shall go soon hopefully. 

Anyway, enough wasting time. Here's the   review. 

Minders by Michele Jaffe

5 out of 5 stars 

What it's about: 

I'm going to use the blurb from the book because I'm finding it a little hard to summarize. 

"In a not-so-distant future Detroit, reading someone's mind is no longer just a fantasy

"An unflinching perfectionist, Sadie Ames is about to embark on every teenage girl's dream-she will be an observer in a boy's mind. Her task is to gather information for a corporation that is working to improve inner-city conditions.

"But as Sadie watches Ford struggle to peel back the mystery of his older brother's death, she begins to realize their is a dark truth lurking at the heart of the city. And when Ford does something criminal, she'll find out how well she can ever really know someone, even someone she loves." 

My review:

The cover is really interesting but it's only about a quarter of the reason I requested this book. The concept is just so interesting. 

The story played out very well and I have nothing about this book that I didn't like. Except maybe the way the characters talked. Other than that, I totally loved the book. 

I know, this is a very short review but all I can really extend is more praise and I think that'll get a little boring so I'll end it here. 

Thanks for reading!

Read on, my friend,

What Happened to the Writing?

Hello!

I'm back for this week's Monday. I know I've been gone, it's just that I didn't have any books to write about. 

This week I really don't either but it wasn't until this week that I realized: my blog isn't just about books and reading. It's also about writing! That's why it's called Read, Write, and Have a Blast. 

I also realized because of my neglect in remembering such a fact, I haven't posted any of my newest poems on here. 

So today I'll post a new poem I wrote. Although it's not actually that new though. 

Here it is: 

Happiness

I'm happy when the wind blows,

When all the leaves scatter,

When voices rise in the air

With laughter and with chatter.

I'm happy when I sing

A tune just for me,

When I hit the right note

And let my voice free.

I'm happy when there is food in my tummy. 

No matter what it is, it's sure to be yummy. 

I'm happy pretty much every day.

When I laugh, when I read, when I smile, when I pray. 

When watching my family laugh and play. 

These are things that make me happy,

But there are even more.

Though the happiest things are those who make me happy and those I'm happy for. 

And that's it. That third stanza though :D 

Anyway, hope you like it. 

That's it for today. 

Read on my friend, 

Sumiyya <3
