When a virus makes everyone over the age of eighteen infertile, would-be parents pay teen girls to conceive and give birth to their children, making teens the most prized members of society. Girls sport fake baby bumps and the school cafeteria stocks folic-acid-infused food.

Sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony were separated at birth and have never met until the day Harmony shows up on Melody’s doorstep. Up to now, the twins have followed completely opposite paths. Melody has scored an enviable conception contract with a couple called the Jaydens. While they are searching for the perfect partner for Melody to bump with, she is fighting her attraction to her best friend, Zen, who is way too short for the job.

Musing Mondays # 2

This week’s musing asks…

Have you ever read a book that inspired you to take up a cause? What book was it, and what is/was the cause?

The Diary of a young Girl : Anne Frank would have to be the most influential book that caused me to take up a cause. I remember specifically when I first read the book in 8th grade. I was not overly interested in reading the book when it was given as an assignment. I thought to myself "Who wants to read this 1900s something Diary anyway?" . I was wrong . Everyone was reading the book and I decided to pop it open to see what really was inside...


It talked about a girl name Anne who was Jewish girl during the Holocaust period. It talks about her ups and downs describe Anne a real Jewish girl. Reading that book I felt so close to her. IT hurt that something like the Holocaust could happen in our society. I hate to admit I was upset and cried when I found out the end. It would have been ok ( or maybe not) if the book was fictional but it was about a real girl, a girl like me. Anne experienced everything all while being persecuted for her religion. I hoped that nothing like that would ever happen again . I made a promise to myself I should not ever judge anyone based on the looks, race, or religion. To have an open mind to everything .

From that time I have always followed by that rule in my heart.

Book Review: 13 Little Blue Envelopes

13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson 

“Va-va-voom”

- Your Runaway Aunt

“Sometimes artist like to catch themselves looking out, let the world see them for once. Its a signature. This one is a very bold one. But this is also a witnessing. We want to remember, and we want to be remembered. That's why we paint.”

- Mari ( famous artist friend of Peg’s)

13 Little Blue Envelopes is a book about an adventure and finding one self. The story begins with Ginny who is the niece of an eccentric artistic aunt named Peg. Aunt Peg sets Ginny out on an adventure that will change her life forever.  Ginny travels the world with no way of knowing what she should do there or even find there. She goes on the prompt of 13 little Blue envelopes that were sent to her before her Aunt Peg died. This game of letters have been played before and is the last wish of Aunt Peg.  The book goes on and on as she meets new friends new experiences as she travels the country.

Overall I thought it was a good read. Not something I would overly engross my self in but overall the book kept me interested . Ginny started to grow on me after a while.I felt as if I was left hanging at the end.  But luckily there is one more book to go called the The Last Little Blue Envelope which continues the story.
