Back Again ^.^

Hello everyone! It's been a while so I'll tell you what I've done recently.

1. I have been singing a lot of Sound Of Music songs
2. I've been worrying that my writing competition will have to be cancelled, because I don't think I gave everyone enough time and I don't want to be unfair. Thanks if you have entered by the way :)

3. And I am thinking of writing a story soon...

Ok, now it's time for Book and Author of the week. They are... Summer's Dream and Helen Peters!

Summer's Dream is in the Chocolate Box Girls Series by Cathy Cassidy. Summer is a perfectionist. Her life is fantastic. She is pretty, has friends, is a good dancer... But when a big oppurtunity comes up that could change her life forever, she has to work for it. Will Summer put dance before danger? Find out in Summer's Dream!! Check out the book if you are interested: http://tinyurl.com/84fmco9

Helen Peters is wonderful. She wrote one of my favourite books which is called: The Secret Hen House Theatre. The way she writes makes me want to read on, excited. If you read her books, she'll excite you too.

For The People Who Mean The Most

Hiya! Sorry that I haven't posted in ages! I have been really busy but I feel really guilty about not writing. So hope you enjoy this :)

Book And Author of the week are... Clarice Bean and Eva Ibbotson! When I say Clarice Bean, I mean all the Clarice Bean books. They are mainly about a girl, named Clarice and all the things she gets up to. About her life and the ups and the downs. I highly, highly, highly recommend them and so does Christina Larkspur. If you don't read them, you are mad! Tee hee :)

Eva is a writer that I have talked about before. She has a very different and complex way of writing that I admire. Her stories are one of a kind and also, she is apparently an extremely interesting person. She has written many novels such as The Dragonfly Pool, Journey To The River Sea and The Star Of Kazan.

As you know, the London Olympics are coming up and I thought, how can Readalot and its viewers help? Firstly you could...

1. Send a message to one of your favourite athletes by putting it on Readalot.

2. Write a story or a project about the Olympics or someone who dreamt of being an athlete.

3. Do a race or contest and try as hard as real Olympians do.

Also, I've got 3 entries so far for the Readalot Writing Competition 2012. Even though all of the entries so far are magnificent, we could do with some more.

Please, please enter! And I'm going to renew the closing date to the eleventh of July by the way.

Here is my letter to The Queen because the Diamond Jubilee is soon: 

Dear Your Majesty,

I'm Abigail Bronte and I write a blog on the internet, which is an online journal. I really enjoy writing and I don't ever want my passion to stop.

It must be exciting being The Queen; have you met a lot of interesting people? Do you ever get tired being The Queen because you always have to be like, the big sister? I think you're FANTASTIC at being The Queen. You must get LOADS of letters as you're so popular!! 

I also wanted to say that you always look stunning. When Prince William and Duchess Kate got married, you wore the most wonderful skirt and hat. I think I need to get some tips! Tee hee =D

I hope you have the best ever Jubilee celebration ever,

Lots of love,

Abigail Bronte

xoxo

I Feel Very Guilty!

Hi guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging! I've been really busy with loads of different things and I kept thinking, "I've got to post on Readalot!!!!". So I promise that there will be a proper post on Readalot soon. Hope you are all well,

                                Abigail Bronte,
                                        xoxo

Potter MAD!!

Hello everyone! Is school going well? I hope it is :) Anyway, I decided to give you a really epic blog post this week! Oh and also, I went to Dancing On Ice Tour and I really recommend it. SO if you're thinking about going, you should.

This week I'm going to do Book And Blogger of the week. They are... Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone and Taylor Watson! The first Harry Potter book is a classic, but I guess the whole series are. It is all about a boy (Harry) who lives with his Aunt, Uncle and cousin, Dudley. The Dursleys (Aunt, Uncle ext) are not well... very friendly to Harry. They don't like him at all. One day, Harry is told by a giant of a man that he is a wizard! From then on everything is different and much more magical than ever before.... Read Harry Potter because it's my favourite ever book!!!!!

Taylor Watson is a fabulous blogger (like Sapphire Feather) and like me, she is holding a Writing Competition. Unlike mine though, she has an actual writer helping her judge (EEK! EXCITING OR WHAT?!). Taylor is a lovely person, she is very chatty and always there to help. Plus, she writes mega interesting posts and that is why everyone adores her.

Character Profile:

Name: Harry Potter
Age: 11 (in the first book)
Job: Being a wizard and fighting Voldemort
Looks: Black, long hair and shining green eyes.
Likes: Being with his best friends, playing Quidditch

Here is a letter to a book character:
Dear Hermione Granger,

I think you are a very intelligent and brave girl. I've heard lots about you from books and movies and I find you very interesting. You are also SO pretty and I love your style. Out of all the many books you've read, which is your favourite? The Tales Of Beedle The Bard? The History Of Magic? And are you very fond of Harry and Ron? Were you always great friends? Hope you get this, Abigail Bronte xoxo

Egg-cellent Easter!

Hello all you keen and creative readers! This is a late (sorry!) Easter edition of Readalot. Enjoy!
The Post:

Happy Easter everyone! What have you all been up to? My brother and I had an Easter egg hunt and we found loads of yummy scrummy chocolate eggs! We also had a huge lunch so I felt a bit like Santa Claus after the meal, (no offence Mr Claus). What did you get up to? Email me at abbybronte@hotmail.co.uk and I can include your say in my next post!

Now it's time for Book and Author of the week, and they are... The Hunger Games and Suzanne Collins! The Hunger Games are a series of books about a mega scary reality game show. There are twelve boys and tweleve girls who are forced to join the show and participate in an event, The Hunger Games. The one rule is, "Kill Or Be Killed" (eek!). Katniss (the main character) takes her sister's place in the games and realises she may not be around for too long... Wow! Read the Hunger Games because they sound really awesome! Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games and is an interesting lady because I think she looks into things with far more detail than others might. She wrote the Hunger Games books to make a statement and that statement has now been definitely made. Well done Suzanne, I can't wait to hear more from you!

Character Profile:

Name: Jesus
Age: Not very sure...
Job: To make miracles and believe in God
Likes: Helping people, praying
Looks: Quite long brown, wavy hair, wears white a lot
Why Jesus is on the Easter Post: Jesus is the reason we celebrate Easter. He died to save us and that is a HUGE sacrifice, way bigger than my Easter lunch!

This is my letter to the Easter Bunny:

Dear Easter Bunny,

I'm Abigail Bronte and I have a blog called Readalot! I just wanted to say that I think you're SO amazing because you are loyal to everyone. You always make sure everyone has Easter eggs and you tell everyone about the Easter message and what Easter really means. You encourage people to give things up for Easter which is important and loving. Have the BEST Easter ever! Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo

VIP: Very Important Post

Hi everyone! The Easter Readalot post is coming soon but I just wanted to tell you something. The Readalot Writing Competition is ending on the eleventh of June instead of the eleventh of April. I didn't think I gave you enough time, so if you were worried that you wouldn't get your story done then now you will be very pleased. I hope that changing the date of the competition will benefit you. Thank you!

Books Are Like A New World

Hi there, Happy March! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I had a terribly busy weekend! Anyway, I'm here now so let's get on with it. Oh and by the way, my writing competition has begun so I'd love it if you could enter because I know that even if someone doesn't like English, they can still try. And trying is all I want you to do. The story does NOT have to be perfect. Everyone has a special way of writing and that is actually quite awesome.

Now it's time for Book and Author of the week! And they are... The Naughtiest Girl In The School and Gwyneth Rees! The Naughtiest Girl In The School is about a girl called Elisabeth Allen who gets sent to boarding school. She gets sent because her parents think she's getting much too spoilt. She is really angry about going to boarding school so she decides to become the naughtiest girl in the school! But things go badly wrong and her temper rises, what will happen? Find out in the magnificent Enid Blyton novel!

Gwyneth Rees is a popular children's writer. However, her books are mainly aimed at girls. Her best books are The Magic Princess Dress, Fairy Dust, The Mum Surprise and The Making Of May. She has an official website and is apparently a lovely person.

Character Profile: Tracy Beaker

Name: Tracy Beaker
Age: 20 (now)
Job: Care Worker
Likes: Writing Stories
Looks: Straight brown hair, quite petite in size and slim.

Now, I thought I'd write a made up letter to a famous person every week. What do you think?

Dear Darrell Rivers (From Malory Towers),

I'm Abigail Bronte and I am really excited to finally get the chance to chat. I went to Malory Towers the other day and Miss Grayling told me about a super fantastic ex- pupil named Darrell Rivers. I heard you have become a news reporter, is it fun? And on your first day of Malory Towers how did you feel? Are you still great friends with jolly old Sallie Hope? I hope you are! Get it?! Please write back, Abigail Bronte xoxo

I'm afraid that's it but come back for more next week! Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo
