HSMTMTS: The Novelization!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I finally got the book! I finally read it! And I loved it! So welcome to my rant about this awesome book.

First up, I have one complaint. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I love Seb. Well, the majority of his lines were cut. A lot of the funniest lines were cut, actually. But it’s still a good book. It only took me a few hours to read and it has a total of 185 pages. It’s really short and basically the show, but you all know that I love this show. If you like books and like the series, you should read this.

Thank you for listening to my rant. I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Book Review (Drum Roll, Please!)

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I don’t know if I’ve talked about this book before, but I’m going to. So, get ready for my rant.

Find the book HERE!

The Characters

The characters are all well developed and they’re all different. Every single character has a defining characteristic that makes them, them! They are relatable and funny.

The Plot

Overall, with no spoilers, this book is about Milly, who goes to a music camp with her best friend, Olivia, to find other kids who love music.

The book is amazing and super fun. I loved reading about the rivalries, friendships, and even romances start between the characters. The plot is great.

One thing that made it fun

I think that it’s really fun that it’s a book for younger people that includes an LGBT+ couple that’s treated relatively like a straight couple.

Rating

I rate this book… (drum roll, please!)

9/10!

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

First draft book tag!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Yes, I’m doing another tag. But, this time, I was actually tagged by MADELINE! She’s awesome. This is actually one of her original tags!

RULES: 

  • Credit the creator of the tag (The Bookish Mutant)
  • You can use her graphics (which I’m doing)
  • Answer the questions to the best of your ability
  • Tag as many people as you want
  • Have fun, and keep on reading and writing! The world needs your creativity!

I always thought the concept of Rick Riordan’s books were super fun. I love the modern characters mixed with the ancient gods/esses and myths.

Anything nonfiction always takes me forever to read. Historical fiction is fun, though.

(Hahahaha, not me)

Any books with plot twists, that actually surprise me, seems really well thought out, in my opinion.

(there I am!)

I’m just going to say, Magnus Chase. In the first, like, five or six chapters, he died.

Um, I have no clue.

Nate Expectations by Tim Federle! (highly suggest)

I tag…

I hope you guys enjoy! Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

My five things

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I found this tag (I’ve been doing a ton of tags) on Rebecca’s blog. She tagged anyone and I needed some posts, so here we go.

Five things that have been getting me through quarantine

  • Blogging/podcasting- I’ve enjoyed being able to still put my stuff out there and share my voice even during these stupid times.
  • The internet/Technology- I’ve been able to “hang out” with my cousin over FaceTime, put together two podcasts, and listen to a ton of books!
  • Disney+- I can watch as many Disney movies or shows which is great. They’ve also been releasing some movies early because of quarantine.
  • Libby- Because libraries are closed, Libby is one of my most used apps, I get to listen to audio books and read a bunch of books!
  • My mom’s iPad- Procreate is a gift for digital artists. My mom lets me use her iPad to draw stuff for here!

Five blogs to check out

  • I blog– She isn’t lying when she says she blogs a little bit of everything. I only found her today (at the time of writing this), but she’s super cool!
  • Karleen– Her blog is only getting up and running, but she’s the same type of blogger as me, books and art.
  • Beck– I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Beck is awesome! She’s one of the first book bloggers I’ve interacted with and inspired me to just be my weird self!
  • Madeline– I’ve mentioned Madeline before too. She’s another book blogger (No wonder I turned into a bit of a book blog, almost all of my favorite blogs are book blogs!) and is really fun.
  • Jaedyn– I met Jaedyn on Camp NaNo earlier. We have most of the same interests (Blogging, theater, writing, and Pinterest) so we bonded and kinda became internet friends.

Five foods I love

  • Chocolate chip cookies! Especially my moms. She makes the best cookies, cakes, tarts. I could keep going!
  • Spaghetti- It was always my favorite growing up (still is). It just has a bunch of good memories.
  • Ice cream- It’s ice cream. You can make a bunch of yummy stuff with it and it’s delicious.
  • PBJ sandwiches- we have these all the time and they’re always super good.
  • Apples- my favorite fruit. I love to chop them up and get a spoonful of peanut butter.

Five places I’d love to visit

  • All the Disney parks- I love Disney, but I’ve only been to Disneyland and Disneyworld and I’d love to see Disneyland Paris.
  • Salt Lake City- What can I say? I love High School Musical and it would be super cool to see East High.
  • New York- I’m quite a theater nerd and it would be AMAZING to go to New York.
  • Greece- I love Greek myths. I’d love to see a bunch of the buildings and statues.
  • Scotland- It would be really epic to see the Highland Games in Scotland. Plus there’s castles.

Five favorite books

  • Lost Hero- Rick Riordan
  • Geekerella- Ashley Poston
  • Better Nate than ever- Tim Federle
  • Drum roll, please!- Lisa Jenn Bigelow
  • The Ship of the Dead- Rick Riordan

So there’s that… I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Reading habits tag

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I’ve noticed that I’ve turned into more of a book blog than an art blog. I mean, I still post my art, but I post more book stuff than art stuff now. Whoops.

I found this tag at A Geek Girl’s Guide. She was tagging everyone, so I decided to give it a try!

Bookmarks or random pieces of paper?

Whatever’s nearby. I have a huge collection of bookmarks, but I forget to use them. Or lose them in the middle of the night and have to find a piece of paper before I lose my spot.

Stop reading randomly or stop after a chapter/certain amount of pages?

After a chapter! Or the whole book…

Certain place at home for reading?

My bed. I do most things on my bed, including school, even though I have a desk.

Eat or drink while eating?

Not usually.

Music or tv while reading?

I love listening to music, but I can’t always focus on the book.

One book at a time or several?

HAHAHAHA

I should read only one but then I start another and another and another.

Reading at home or everywhere?

I can and will read anywhere and everywhere. I bring some form of book with me everywhere.

Reading out loud or silently?

Silently. I do read my sister a story every night, though.

Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?

I try not to, but if I want to get to a specific part (Alex bites my face off) I’ll skip ahead.

Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Breaking the spine. It makes the book feel more loved. I remember when my dad got me The Lightning Thief, it was super worn and ripped. I thought that it would be a good book because of that fact. So, worn covers are better because they’ve been read more.

So that happened. I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
