Brooklyn’s Book Review
Brooklyn Says…
The book I read is Fashion Kitty by Charise Mericle Harper. It’s the second Fashion Kitty book I read.
This book was about a girl named Kiki. But she’s some sort of superhero named Fashion Kitty. But Fashion Kitty is Kiki. Kiki has a little sister named Lana. Lana’s a spoiled little pain to Kiki. But almost at the end Lana comes out of her bed because she smelled cake from Kiki’s birthday party!! And there was this girl who wanted all her friends to wear polka-dotted shorts on top of their pants. Kiki also has a friend named Mary Jane that she helped with her fashion.
My favourite part was when Kiki broke the chair and all of her magazines fell on her head. Also my favourite part was when Lana was eating all of the cake that was on Lana and Kiki and their mom and dad. 
Here is the picture I drew of Fashion Kitty.

Teaser Tuesday
Virginie Says…
My teaser today is from a book I’m reviewing for SourceBooks AND reading for my challenge.
“Into the room stepped a vision of loveliness. The Duke caught his breath, and stood staring. His cousin Matthew had certainly spoken of Belinda’s beauty, but he had not prepared himself for anything as superb as the creature who now stood on the threshold, regarding him out of eyes so large, so innocent, and of so deep and translucent a blue as to make his senses swim for a dizzy moment. He closed his own eyes involuntarily, and opened them again to make sure that they had not deceived him. They had not. He beheld a veritable beauty.” The Foundling by Georgette Heyer, page 149.
TEASER TUESDAYS is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To add your own teaser, just do the following:
- Grab whatever book you’re reading at the moment.
- Open up your book to a random page.
- Share two (2) teaser sentences.

- No spoilers, please!

Leave a comment with your address for one entry and ‘advertise’ this giveaway somehow (you choose, just make sure you let me know and post the link) for a second entry.
