It's Raining Cupcakes

I'm back! I bought this book today and it took me a really short time to read it... I have to say I really loved it, the cover caught my attention and it was too gorgeous, and it inspired me to do lots of things.

This book was really cute! It was a good fast read and I really enjoyed it. Lisa Schroeder made an amazing job, and I'm looking forward to read some of her books. This book is really totally different from what I'm used to read, but the cover really caught my attention, the colors are too pretty! Also I've seen this mentioned in various book blogs I really like! :)

The story is really beautiful, it's just about a normal girl having family problems, trying to raise money to go on a trip, and she makes some friends. It's a simple storyline but I really loved it and I didn't put the book down. In this book, Isabella's mother wants to open a cupcake shop, but then, there's too much pressure for everyone in the family and Isabella's mother starts to doubt if this was a good idea.

All Isabella wants to do is travel, and make her mom stop thinking only about herself. I think this was a nice story of following your dreams, make the right choices, listen to the advice form the people that love you, and think about something you want to fulfill in life.

She has great experiences with her best friend Sophie; which she kind of is jealous with, her Grandma, Barber Stan, Neighbor Lana and two devil twins that she's suppoused to be babysitting!

This has motivated me to improve some relationships with people and work harder to fulfill some of my goals and dreams, I think Sophie and her passport holder are now my inspiration. I loved it, it was really beautiful and it has really made me think about my choices in life! ;)

PS: I recently found out there's a sequel... I'm planning on reading it! ;)

Evertaster (A book I fell in love with!)

After long hours of search on Amazon, I found "Evertaster". I had really low expectations for the book, but then I realized that I was wrong! This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life and I think that this is one of the best novels for children and teens.

"Evertaster", by Adam Glendon Sidwell, is the story of 11 year old Guster Johnsonville, a boy that finds almost all food prepared by her mother disgusting. After a visit to a french patisserie prepared by her mom (along with Guster's siblings) as the result of Guster's mom's frustration. At the patisserie, some strange events happen. Events that will change Guster's life and that will take the whole Johnsonville into an amazing journey all around the world, in search for a mystical recipe for "The Gastronomy of Peace".

This book has lots of factors that I found quite enjoyable: there was adventure, action, drama, humor... AND IT MADE ME REAAAAL HUNGRY! Adam Glendon Sidwell was really creative and he made a very interesting story that will entertain readers of all ages.

The characters have great personalities, we get to explore the opposite sides of them and... honestly, I fell in love with the characters. Mariah: a geeky smart girl that's encharged of all the research, Zeke: an annoying old sibling that just enjoys bothering Guster and calls him mean nicknames, and Henry Jr: the baby of the family. On their way they travel to many places, like Africa, Norway, Perú... and they make friends... and some enemies too!

I guess my favorite characters were Guster, Mariah, and Felicity Casa: a professional cook that owns a television program which Guster's mom is a huge fan of. Felicity Casa makes many types of things in her shows to help out housewives. Adam sure knew how to place the characters in their stories... I would speak more of Felicity Casa but I just don't want to ruin the book for other readers! LOL :)

All the descriptions of the food made me real hungry. They made my mouth water. I really felt like I was actually eating the ingredients for the Gastronomy of Peace, or just some other dish mentioned in the book. This is a book that will make you real hungry! *short minor spoiler* In one of the final scenes, when Guster tastes the Recipe, I really felt like I was with Guster too! *end of spoilers*

My favorite scenes in the book? Hmmph... that's just a tie between the Africa and Norway scene. I loved them both! I laughed many times with this book, it's just too humorous and a mixture of lots of feelings. Adam Glendon Sidwell is a new author to have on the watch! I expect more interesting novels and books form him, and yes, THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL FOR EVERTASTER!

This is a book that's worth reading, besides, it's cover was amazing, it was one of the things that attracted me to the book. I regret having the lowest expectations for this book because it was really great. This is a book for children, teens, and adults! Everybody will love the book and fall in love with the character's amazing personalities.

Give it a try, because it's really awesome! ;)

An excellent job, I give it five cookies.
