hi,
This is a great book with inexpensive beauty ideas. Some of the recipes include:
hair fixes, hand creams, manicures, and pedicures. I love the candy stripe manicure and angel face glitter. They also have some neat quizzes for astrology, love, etc.

Same Blog... New Week
Hi Everyone,
My name is Andrea and I'll be checking in on the blog this week. I am the Teen Services Librarian at our Angus Glen branch so next time you are up in my 'hood, come by and say hi.
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far and reading many great books.
I'm looking forward to reading your reviews. In the meantime, it is half-way through the summer and for those of you who are avid readers (or those of you who aren't), reading can be a great summer past-time. For me, I don't feel like I've had a summer unless I can spend at least one day on the beach up at a lake doing nothing but reading. If any of you are feeling like you are at a loss as to what to read next, I just thought I'd put a plug in for one of our library services that help match up books based on your personal preferences. It is like a customized, personalized reading guide. If anyone is interested, check out our website (mpl.markham.ca/readersresource/suggestion.htm) to fill out a what to read next?". If you decide to give it a try, let me know how you find it.

Ending for Harry Potter
This is my guess on the ending:
Harry collapses to the floor. Before he fall, and as he fall his two best friends Hermione and Ron holds him and brings him down more slower and less hurtfully. Plenty of steams arise upon his body. The steam fills up the whole room. Harry says his last words. Afterwards he softly closes his eyes. Hermione and Ron leave Harry's body alone on the ground and stand up. Harry magically stands up and stay up on air. And the grey steam changes to colourful steams. Stars start shining at certain places. Hermione and Ron stands right next to him. And slowly and slowly Harry moves upwards, and sooner he is disappeared in the sky. And one special star shines after he is gone.

Its 1 am. Jen just came from a teen party. The police are knocking on the door and are asking to talk to Jen. There has been a murder at the party. The police are asking Jen questions on what happened at the party. Jen lies to police and doesn't tell much, she just mentioned that she was down stairs in the kitchen and never knew about the murder, which has took place upstairs. After asking Jen questions the police has also asked everyonne else who were in the party. On the next day, Jen's in the newshow kind of club, her teacher for that club ask Jen and the video guy Scott to go and investigate and report on the murder. From tallking to one of the police officers, Jen finds out something, and might just know the murderer. After a few days, Jen get to know that her boyfriend and his friends Ross, and Nate who were also at the party has went to the police station to answer question three times. Also the person who Jen suspected is one of this person. Scott once calls, and tells Jen to meet him at th media lab since he has some new info on the case, but when Jen goes there, Scott is not there, she waitet, still he never showed up. After school, from her doctor father, Jen finds out that Scott is in the hospital. She goes and sees hims at the hospital, Scott says the person who beated him said in his ear "Silence is the best policy." Also in Jen's locker someone has left a not saying the same thing. The rest of the story continues on finding out who killed the victim, who were part of it, who beated up Scott, and if Jen's boyfriend is involved in the crime or not.
This book was fairly good. Even though it was genred as a Teen Fiction, it has many elements in which a mystery book has. As Jen was trying to solve the crime, I was trying to guess who did it, but there were a little to many suspects to suspect, cause the way everyone act brings them into the murder.

Annette Sierra Summer
Title:Annette-Sierra Summer
Author:Doris Shroeder
Genre: Mystery?
For her summer vacation Annette visits her best friend (who is also her cousin) Tonia. As Annette drives to her cousin's place, at one point in her journey, she ends up with a flat tire. She goes to a nearby house and asks to phone, however the house does not have a phone. The teen boy at her house volunteers for him to go to a nearby gas station and phone her while she rests a little. As soon as Annette mentions the name of her uncle, Stan the boy gets mad, and cancels his trip to the gas station and goes outside. Annette was surprised, why Stan was acting like this, Stan's little sister Margie explains why. At this point is when the mystery's story started. Throughout the book, there were a few mentions of the mystery. I didn't find this book to be mystery genred, cause only at the last chapter is when they talked about the myster that is when it was solved, also the characters didn't solve the mystery in a interesting way.
This book was boring and long. I kept on continuing to read as if something interesting will come up, but nothing. Also the author wasn't a good writer, some of his wordings were confusing, and he didn't solve all the mini problems in the book. A few parts were confusing and didn't make sense as what is happening in the plot. Boring book!
