For this blogathon I’ll be giving a summary of my June. three book recommendations, three movie recommendations, a writing challenge, and a writing life update.

June summary:

So this June was very crazy yet successful. First of all, I started this blog! I got my braces on (blah,) started a creative writing club, took a family trip to the smoky mountains, turned 15, then there’s father’s day of course, and best of all… I GOT MY BOOK PUBLISHED!!!!!! (more information about that below.

Books:

All my book recommendations today have been adapted into movies in honor of “The BFG” which comes out today.

So of course this first book is The BFG – by Roald Dahl.
I’m definitely going to see this movie considering a saw that it was coming last year and just had to read the book. This is a link to my review website!

This next book is A Wrinkle in Time – by Madeleine L’Engle.This is one of my favorite books (and movies!) and I highly recommend this to si-fi fantasy fans. Click this for my review!

This last book I liked, but I’m only recommending it to older readers: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children – by Ransom Riggs.
Now this book has a lot of language and some scenes that may be too scary or disturbing for younger kids. you can get more detail of that here: click me!

Movies:

This first movie is: Freaky Friday.

the next movie recommendation is: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

This last movie is Into the Woods

Writing challenge:

So these challenges don’t have a due date, you don’t even need to do them! they’re just here to encourage me and other writers to practice and step outside our comfort zones.

last month’s challenge was to write a short story inspired by a piece of classical music. July’s is to write about something that happened to you from someone else’s prospective.

Writing life update:

So as I mentioned earlier I’m now a published author! My new book is called Sea of Trees.
                           You can get it and see more about it HERE!
Now, this next book I’m writing, the one for camp NaNoWriMo, I don’t want to give away the name so I’ll call it: An American Werewolf in New Orleans. It’s about a werewolf, takes place in New Orleans, and it isn’t a horror story. That’s all I’m saying for now.

If you guys have any book and/or movie recommendations for me I’d love to hear them along with ideas for writing challenges, just put those in the comments.

Bye!
