__The Truth About Forever__ by Sarah Dessen
 * Final Blog! January 5th, 2011.**

I'm almost finished reading this book! What has been happening recently in this book, is Macy is slowly starting to lighten up and not be so serious about things now since her dad died. She works for Delia's catering business, and has become close friends with Kristy and Monica who also work there. She's been talking and hanging out with Wes more and more, and is realizing that she really likes him. Then all of a sudden Jason's parents (this guy who "kind of" broke up with her at the beginning of the summer) see her at this one party she is catering for and ask her about how her and Jason are doing. If I were Macy, I wouldn't know what to say to his parents. I would just make sure that her and Jason are actually done and start to get to know Wes more. I hope in the end of this book that that will actually happen.

Macy's boyfriend has been at brain camp for the past couple of weeks, and she has been emailing him to keep in contact with him. But lately he has been acting weird to her, as in being stand offish to her. This really hurts her feelings because she really likes him. If I were her, I would be kind of hurt too if all he did was talk about his brain camp and asked me about his job at the library that she is working at for him. I think that she should just break up with him and just start fresh for the summer.

I decided to switch from reading Marley and Me, and start to read The Truth About Forever. I have already read Marley and Me many times since i own it, so I thought that I should read a different book for a change. Right now in the beginning of the of the book, Macy talks about how hard life has been for her and her family since her father died from a heart attack. That would be such a hard thing to go through in life, especially being so young and having someone die in your imidiate family. Now in present day, her mom is having an open house for her real estate houses and this catering company is serving at their house for them. During the party Macy hears a load crash and goes into the kitchen to see what was the matter and meets Delia, the boss of the catering, and some of the other workers. She soon finds out that their catering business is a huge chaotic mess, but somehow they manage to keep their cool. I think that Macy is somehow intrieged by all of this chaos. My prediction for this book, is that she is going to work for Delia in their catering business to get her mind of her father's death.

__Marley & Me by John Grogan__

I'm now reading //Marley and Me//, by John Grogan. In the beginning of the book, John talks about how he had this really good behaved dog when he was a young boy. Now, he is a grown man an just got married to his wife Jenny. Jenny is very loving and kind, but she kind of has a problem on keeping things alive... When they first moved in together in their own house, they had a plant that kept dying because she would water it too much. Recently Jenny had been asking him if they could get a puppy, but John was wondering how they could keep a live dog, if they can't even keep a plant alive. Soon John eventually gives in to Jenny and they get a Golden Lab and they name him Marley. This beginning parts of the story reminds me of my family's dog Mackenzie. My parents were unsure if we should get a dog because we are always so busy, and we wouldn't have enough time for our dog, but my parents gave into me and my sisters and we got Mackenzie when I was two. I picked reading this book because I've had some of my friends recommend it to me, and I heard it was a really great book. I'm excited to see what will happen next with their new dog, Marley.
