The book Raven, by Allison Van Diepen, is about a girl that lives in New York. Nicole is a A+ student by day, breakdancer by night. In the last six months, she had joined a dance troupe, who dances in night clubs. Zin, the troupe leader, and Nicole's secret interest, works as a bartender in one of the main clubs that they dance at. Nicole becomes an employee for this club, as a way to get close to Zin as well as a way to pay for college, when she graduates in three months. Goodreads gave this book 4.64 stars (out of five), Book Soulmates gave it 4. One of the main complaints with this book is that it uses too much dance lingo. If you are not into dancing, this book is not for you. This book is a captivating and heart pulling read, so if you like hip hop you would totally love this book.
Raven Review
SuperBowlHalfTimeReview In the 2016 Super Bowl Halftime show, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, and Beyonce performed. Coldplay started it off with painted violins and cellos, flower umbrellas, and colors throughout the entire stadium. Shortly after Coldplay, Bruno Mars brought funk and style to the performance. Beyonce joined the show shortly afterwards with a few of her own songs before she joined Bruno Mars in “Uptown Funk.” Wearing all black, Beyonce and Bruno Mars matched having a small “dance off” in the midst of the song. The three artists rejoined in the end to finish the show with a mashup. Ranking 8th of all superbowls on USA today, this show was fine, but not the best show the public has seen.
Super Bowl Review Denver's suffocating defense kept Newton jittery all day. Despite wearing gold shoes before the golden Super Bowl, Newton couldn't finish a dynamic season in which he was the league's MVP. Miller twice stripped him, the first time for a touchdown and the second time to set up a clinching TD. Denver's top-ranked defense, the one that ran roughshod over Tom Brady in the AFC championship, simply wouldn't let Newton get comfortable. The overall game was very defensive, altogether both teams forced the other team to turn the ball over at least once. At the end of the day the Broncos were the better team and Peyton got to lift the Lombardi one last time.

The Grammys
Many of the biggest names in music were able to score Grammy Awards this year including, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Bruno Mars. Taylor Swift received one of the more prestigious awards given out at the Grammys, Album of the Year, which makes her the only female artist to ever win Album of the Year twice. Swift made a speech while taking the award that was quite heart throbbing. She told girls across the world to not let other distract you from your goals. To watch the full speech, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMCAEUb0h34 .Adele performed at the Grammys, singing “All I Ask” written by her and Bruno Mars. But during the song, the mic fell onto the strings of the piano making the audio crew have to turn the house sound off.
Chapter One- The Words He had warned her about the book, now it was too late. The lines of stories pulled her in, winding around her, calling to her, come, come…
Nexis woke with a start. She swore she had heard somebody calling her. She cursed when she saw the time. She had slept in ten minutes. Ten minutes she could not be in the libisium, an outdoor library where she could be without interruption. She threw on a tunic and leggings before running out of her set of rooms. After giving a servant the slip, she ran for it. Left, right, left, down three flights of stairs, out on to the lawn, past the “King” gardens, past the council room, to the libisium. Safe. Getting through the castle without anyone calling to her, was a blue moon as it is. As she wandered the rows of books, she saw something out of the ordinary. A new book sat glistening on the shelf, waiting to be read. She pulled the one out, “The World of Thorn”, and walked to her favorite spot under a old willow tree, where there was plenty of shade from the scorching sun. Just then, Sir Linden, the librarian, walked up. When he saw the book she was reading, he swooped down on her like a falcon, sweeping the book from “Do you mind, I was reading that.” Nexis said, quite rudely.
“My dear princess, you can’t read that. The King would have my head if he knew I let you read that. It is just a cock and bull story, it is. How did you get your hands on it? I thought it was locked in the hidden cabinet...” talking more to himself than her. That night Nexis slipped out of bed, careful not to make the floorboards creak. She tiptoed through the halls and out onto the lawn. From there she ran.
Once she got to the libisium, she ran down the shelves, hoping to find the book that has been on her mind all day. There. She spotted it sitting on a shelf close to the floor. She took it out and immediately started to read. Than the words started to dance around her head, making her dizzy. She passed out. Nexis saw two words, two words that would haunt her for days to come, that would drive into somewhere no human has gone before, that would change her life.
