Tavi Revisited

Before recommending this page to you, I wanted to make sure it was really as good as I thought. I posted the video on Tavi Gavinson in the spring. I could tell from the stats on the blog that many of you watched it, and hopefully you found it inspiring. Tavi is the editor of the online magazine ROOKIE. It is nothing but FANTASTIC. I wish I had something like this to read when I was your age. She has many contributors, and there are some many amazing articles on everything from fashion to politics. Please, take some time to browse through this page. You can get some really good ideas on how to write good articles, and maybe some of it helps you "to figure yourselves out." Enjoy!

Here is an article about Tavi from New York Times.

Stories Within Stories

I came across this wonderful blog the other day. It is made by a second-hand bookseller, and his blog has recently been turned into a book. He describes his blog like this:

A Bookseller's Collection of Odd Things Lost Between the Pages

and is a collection of random book-marks found within the pages of a book he has gotten into his store. Does it ever happen that you grab the piece of paper closest to you to use as a bookmark, when you put the book away? Well, I do. And many other people do as well obviously. But what can this piece of paper say about you? Or your family?

Take a look at this wonderful blog!

Underground book blog

I hope to introduce you to some of the amazing blogs out there. Hopefully you'll find some of them interesting enough to follow, which will give you great insight into many aspects of the English speaking world.

The blog I'm introducing you to today, is called Underground New York Public Library.
The girl behind this blog takes pictures of people reading on the underground. At first, this may seem odd, maybe even boring. But it is actually quite interesting! Who reads the Bible or the Quran? Not always the kind of people you would expect! Maybe you like the style of someone and want to read what they are reading? Maybe that big, bearded man is reading Winnie the Pooh? You'd be surprised!

What's for lunch?

Lately, we have been talking a lot about healthy and nutritious food. We have watched Supersize Me, and I have told you about visiting my niece and nephew's schools in New Jersey last month. I was really shocked to see what their classmates ate for lunch.

I just came across this funny blog I wanted to show you, it fits right in with what we have been talking about. A nine year old girl (I think it's a girl?) from the UK has started a blog where she takes pics of her school lunch every day! This is to make people aware of what children actually eat every day. I do suspect her parents help her a bit with the writing, she is incredibly snappish, but still, a very intersting blog!
