Blog Post; Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz

    This book I'm reading is really cool. It's about witches and spells, Stacey, the main character can tell the future through her dreams, and now knows that her her roommate, best friend is in trouble. Stacey is able to use spells and witch-crafty to make things a bit clearer, but things aren't clear enough... Stacey needs to have a clear image and name of the person behind all this to have an actual reading, otherwise she can't help her best friend Drea.

   Throughout the entire book, Stacey keeps getting mixed messages about who this person is, is it Chad?The boy next door? Or is it Donovan, the guy who's been admiring Drea since the third grade?Stacey keeps going back and forth, thinking differently about each guy every time. She even starts thinking that it could be the snooty Veronica who thinks shes above the universe. Through this mess between prank phone calls and mysterious presents, Stacey is in a mound of her own problems, issues that she can't tell anyone, not even Drea, that they're so humiliating and private.

    So far I think that Donovan is the killer, because every time they go to investigate, Donovan seems to appear out of nowhere. They also saw him calling someone through the pay phone, which they later found was the source where the prank calls were coming from, and they noticed that the person on the other line did not pick up... Then they knew it was definitely him.

   At the beginning, when I was getting mixed messages, I thought it was just some random dude who they saw creeping around their ground at night, which did seem to work out, but why would he want Drea? She is the it girl  at college, but how does that relate to him? Stacey is in between all this, yet she feels the need to help ;o out her friend who doesn't even appreciate it, until the first hit comes.

Review on Evin's Post

I read Evin's post on Along for the Ride- Sarah Dessen, and saw connections because I read the book myself. It was sort of like having a conversation with her face to face, except it was without the face to face thing. I thought that Evin sort of had the same illusions on the main character as I did, which was why I kept reading. While I was reading her post, I thought about other places where I've seen or heard the same thing that's happened to the character in this book.
Reading Evin's post was like actually being in the book that I read about two years ago, which is a good thing since then it's a reference to those who haven't read it yet, and happen to read her post, it wouldn't leave them with a question mark on their head. There was another thing I noticed about Evin's post. It had cnnections to another book- Freak the Mighty, which I haven't read, but now know what it might be like, an out of place person who knows they don't belong starts loosening up and changing before everyone's eyes.
Evin's post wasn't the first one I read, but it was the first one that I had text to self and text to reading with.
