Alice in Zombieland By Gina Showalter

So this weekend I had a friend from Iowa over at my house. She got me a book called Alice in Zombieland. I was really excited about it because, as I had said in my last post,  I really needed a new book to read. I haven't started reading it yet, because I've been planning to start  reading it at school.
Anyway, last week, when we had no school, I read a book called Always a Witch. Which was the book had said I wanted to read, my previous post, "New Books." I finished it in a day, which was sad, becuase I wanted it to last longer, but it was a great book. I'm really happy I got to read it.
Basically, the book was about  how Tamsin, the main characters, saved her family from another evil family of witches. The book was filled with all kinds of magic, so if you like  books with magic in it the  Once a Witch and Always a Witch books are really great choices for you. It was nice to finally finish the series after waiting for what feels like forever.
Anyways, I can't wait to start reading this new book! I looks really interesting. This is a link to a Goodreads page about it: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11300302-alice-in-zombieland

Narrative on what happens in Mrs. Phelps' life

As Mrs. Phelps walked home, she thought about what had just happened at Montag's house.  Guy had read her, Mrs. Bowels, and Mildred. Mildred had told them that it was okay, and that all firemen were allowed to take a book, but something felt wrong. Perhaps she shouldn't have encouraged Montag to read the poem. Why would the government let someone read them things that brought sadness to people. It didn't seem right. Mrs. Phelps wondered if she should call Chief Beatty and ask him to change this.
After she had heard that poem, Mrs. Phelps had started to have more emotions. It seemed to bring out her more human side. She wondered about her husband, Pete. She wondered if he would be okay. She'd started to worry about him. This had never happened before. What if this time, it was her husband who died. What if it wasn't someone else's husband this time. She knew that they had an agreement to not mourn each other, because it was their third marriage. He'd told her to get married again and not cry for him if he died at war, but it didn't feel right. She felt like she should care more for him. They were married, after all. She loved him, didn't she? Why would she marry him if she didn't? You were supposed to cry for those who you loved, right?
She had started to question the things that she was taught since she was born. She and her husband didn't even have any children. She knew she had said that she didn't want any chldren, but maybe she was changing her mind. She had some doubts about children, though. Mrs. Bowles had told them about only having her children home for three days a month. What was the point of having children if you only had three days a month to spend with them? Mrs. Beatty had also said that she just left her children in the parlor when they were home. So, even on days when the children weren't at school, she didn't spent time with them.
She didn't know why, but this made Mrs. Phelps very sad. Why didn't people talk. Maybe Montag was correct. Maybe people should have talked more. Maybe she should care about her family more. As she reached her house, she laughed. What was she thinking, the world was fine as it was. The poem must have just messed with her head a little. The government had made the right choices. Why should she question them?
