The Sisters Grimm is a 9 book series written by Micheal Buckley where the leading protagonists Sabrina and Daphne Grimm move to Ferry Port Landing with their Grandma that was said to be dead, after their parents disappeared mysteriously from their home in New York. They soon find out that Ferry Port Landing isn't as ordinary as it seems with the fairy-tale characters trapped in the town by Sabrina and Daphne's ancestors, the Grimm Brothers. (Kinda like Once Upon a Time, but not really) Sabrina and Daphne soon join the family business and become fairy tale detectives. With the help of Granny Relda, Mr. Canis, Puck, and Elvis their Great Dane, they solve mysteries and work to bring down the elusive Scarlet Hand.
I looooooooooooooooooooooooove this series. Every book is just as amazing as the next. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good series.

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Review
Okay so this is a very late review but better late than never I suppose. Anyway if you liked the first movie you'll love the sequel. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto return to the big screen for a high-action adventure with a spectacular villain played by the fantastic Benedict Cumberbatch going by the name of John Harrison. I admit I didn't actually expect much out of it (I like Star Wars better than Star Trek don't hate me:) but I was very impressed with how well done the movie was. It kept me on the edge of my seat (and not only because of Benedict) I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first movie. It was just amazing so if you haven't already get your behind to a red box or to a friends house to see it!
Parents: Um it's rated PG-13 for reasons so I'd check it out here:

Word of the Day: Euphoric
Happy FRIDAY!!! We made it through the week, so let's get a round of applause!!!
*stadium screaming applause*
Why, thank you. I suppose I had a pretty good week as well. September, September. I love it!
So, I suppose we are all pretty euphoric today. Wait, you ask, Hailee, what does euphoric mean? Well, euphoric means overjoyed. Ecstatic. Jubilant. I'm moving on, so if you don't get it by now, too bad. We're all in a case of Friday euphoria, so enjoy it. Go home, eat nachos and watch Duck Dynasty. Live it up.
Si gets euphoric around firecrackers.
(we disclaim duck dynasty to a and e and all associates.)

Word of the Day: Sagacious
Welcome to the word of the day of the ONLY September 7, 2013 you will ever have!
Today's fantabulous word is sagacious.
This word means the exact opposite of ignorant, stupid, idiotic, dim-witted, etc.
Sagacious is a fancy word for smart or perspicacious (which, now that I think about it, is a veeeery fancy word itself.) If you call someone sagacious, you are notifying their intelligence and, as some people would say, Smarticle Particles.
So, sound sagacious and say it! You don't even have to tell people you found it online.
Bye, bye, my swanky readers!

(I'm not sure if I just typed a gremlin thing or a bunny rabbit. Comment below to voice your sagacious opinion.)

DISCLAIMER: I use www.dictionary.reference.com to look up this word. And I don't own this beautiful Psych picture, I believe USA does. But, don't steal this post. Not cooool.

Word of the Day: Flamboyant
This fun word to say means strikingly bold or brilliant or showy (courtesy of www.dictionary.reference.com, my source for sounding intelligent when I talk.) So, when your mom buys a painting of a flower or tree or something, tell her it's flamboyant and she'll love you forever.
Or, if you're writing your Christmas list and you want to make it extra clear that you don't want just any old crap, you can say, "I would like some positively flamboyant whateverjunk for Christmas."
Fangirl relation: "Captain America's star-spangled suit is adorably flamboyant."
"Sherlock's cheekbones are nicely flamboyant."
"Shawn, your pinapple hat is flamboyant."

Movie Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Sea of Monsters
So, if you're a major PJ fangirl, like myself, you found yourself furiously panting after watching the first movie. The plot was distorted and it was wrong in so many ways. But, if you're letting that keep you from going to see Sea of Monsters, push aside the memory of the destroyed first film and buy your flippin' ticket! For a movie, it was an excellent representation of Rick Riordan's bestselling sequel. The guys were hot (Percy and Luke....ah), Annabeth's hair was BLOND (a detail they could've fixed in the first movie), they had all the characters (Clarisse and Thalia and Mr. D) and it was hilarious and awesome!
Camp Half-Blood is going great when suddenly the magical borders that protect its contents start to flicker, caused by the poisoning of Thalia's pine tree. The only thing that can heal the tree-and the camp- is the Golden Fleece, a special artifact that can heal anything. However, it is in the Bermuda Triangle (most commonly referred by demigods as the Sea of Monsters) and guarded by the deadly cyclops Polyphemus. Not only that, but right when Percy is feeling like a lousy one-quest wonder, Poseidon sends him what seems like a manifestation of humiliation: a cyclops brother named Tyson.
Watch it. Fangirls, try not to judge it for content and details. I mean, as much as we want a three-hour copy of the book, Hollywood has not yet unlocked the fullness of the literature it portrays. So enjoy!
Parents, this film features thematic action: monsters, fighting, etc. If you're unsure whether it suits your family, consult these awesome websites that outline every bit of adult content for you:
