There isn't much progress in my readings, I am currently on page 250, meaning I only completed 249 pages. However, I am happy that I manage to complete 121 pages in a night!!! YAY!!! Unfortunately, I burnt the midnight oil to accomplish so. *sobs*
Without further ado...
Cinder & Ella
By: Kelly Oram
249 pages into...
Ella life just keeps getting better and better. Despite the terrible accident in school, her stepsister (Juliette) has been confirmed to be a not-evil-stepsister after all. Juliette not only "match make" Ella with an outcast, that become Ella's best friend... Wait! A "second distant best friend" as that is what the generous Cinder is willing to offer. Aside from a second distant best friend, Juliette brought along a popular, cute boy crushing on Ella that later becomes her unofficial boyfriend, and also an alliance with Juliette herself.
Juliette hated Ella, but for all the right reasons to. After Ella understood the reasons behind Juliette's hatred, Juliette becomes one of her most supportive friends. However, that only fuels Anastasia's antagonism towards Ella. Putting Anastasia's fueled antagonism aside (because well... who cares about Anastasia?), the only dispiriting moment in Ella's blossoming life was an argument with Cinder due to a misunderstanding.
Brian life just keeps getting worse and worse. Firstly, he found himself engaged to a superstar model, Kaylee, who he wishes could be as smart as she is evil. Secondly, he realizes that the sham that he and Kaylee pulled is becoming harder and harder to pull out, with Kaylee carrying more clout than he thought. Lastly, the worst thing that ever happened - Ella being angry at him.
The best birthday presents from Ella's (second distant) best friend, supportive (unofficial) boyfriend and lovely family (once again, putting Anastasia aside), allow a fairy tale meeting to come true.

As expected, the summary is LONGGGGG! However, it is not the end... *wink*
"So why Ellamara?"
"Because she's the greatest character in the books."
"I thought you just said Cinder was one of the greatest characters of all time."
"Every great character makes mistakes. Cinder was wise by the end and able to rule over his people only because Ellamara taught him how to think beyond himself. He was a great character, but ----"
"I know, I know. Ellamara was the real hero"
"What make you say that?"
"It was what you were going to say"
"Yes, but how did you know? Why did you say those particular words?"
"Say car for
me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Squeals* I just simply could not resist! The conversation is in order, but I removed some of the conversations in the middle and from the start.
As for the last sentence, it does seem to bring in confusion, but if the story is following through from the beginning, that sentence itself holds a lot of meaning. Its significance is like the last piece of jigsaw required to complete the puzzle, and when it is finally put in place, the puzzle is solved.
Well, that's all for today. I really want to do the Words of the Day, but I am too tired. *sobs* Initially, I thought of doing Words of the Day in place of "Say car for me" a Cinder & Ella Part 3, but I found myself succumbing to the temptation of doing "Say car for me" a Cinder & Ella Part 3. Words of the Day will just have to wait for tomorrow. Sorry!
Until next time...
