It's how a group of I's became a we. When Class 10B got their flu shots, they expected some side effects. Maybe a sore arm. Maybe a headache. They definitely didn't expect to get telepathy.

June Wrap Up 2014

Hellooooo! It's crazy to think we are half way through this year already (which means only six months until Christmas)! Here's what I've been reading in June.       1.

Of course it was great and I also really loved the film, which I have now seen twice and plan to see again at some point soon.

Don't Even Think About It is strange but I really enjoyed it! I definitely would not like to have telepathy... Finally Murder Most Unladylike was rea
