I am reading the book "This is how I Lied," and the reason I choose this book was because I heard it was really good and I wanted to see for myself. In the reading so far there was a murder that happened 25 years ago and a girl named Eve Knox was found. Her bestfriend Maggie, and sister Nola found her body, but the killer was never found. Fast forward 25 years and a shoe that belonged to Eve was found near the spot she was killed, so the case reopens. Maggie which was her best friend is now a cop and decides she wants to do Eve justice and find the killer. I think this book is so interesting and I find it hard to put the book down.
ReplyDeleteHi Vada!
DeleteI have never read this book, but from you describing it, it sounds very interesting. I really enjoy reading books where I am hooked and want to keep reading. This book seems like it does that, so I think I would like the book. I also like to read books that people recommend to me and see if I like it for myself.

Hi Vada,
DeleteI enjoy books with mystery in them because it usually gets me hooked on it. I watch a lot of criminal minds and this book sounds like it has a lot in common with that show. I am glad you are enjoying your book!
Hey Veda, Murder mysteries are always good, hope you're enjoying the book.
DeleteHey Veda,
DeleteYour book sounds super good and is definitely something that I would like to read. Horror books are by far my favorite genre of books because they keep me at the edge of my seat. The book I am reading is horror so it is very hard for me to set mine down. I like my book a lot and I hope you continue to like yours too.
Even the titled of the book catches my eye, your book does seem very good. I am reading When You See Me, our books have murder mystery in common.
DeleteYour book sound amazing and I would read it because I like reading Murder mysteries, I think murder mysteries are 100% top 5 genre's
DeleteHi Vada
DeleteYour book sounds so interesting and mischiefs with lots of mysterious that the book is hiding from the main characters and they have no clue what is going up this book also gives me "stranger things" it a TV series similar like this. I will be so curious so listen about this book.
Your look sounds very interesting and sounds like it would be a fun read. I like mysterious books and I feel like I would enjoy your book and may end up reading after the one I'm reading now.
DeleteI am reading the book "Three Good things", by Lois Peterson. I chose this book because I wanted to read a book with some drama and trouble in the story line. I wanted something that was going to have me hooked and not bored. I started out by looking at the covers of books to see if they were interesting, then I read the summary to see if it was something I liked. If I liked both of these things then I would then read the first chapter and I picked my favorite one. My initial thoughts so far is I am enjoying it so far. I am hooked and it is very interesting so far. It started off right away by jumping into the book like we have been reading the book, then it gave us background information, which was nice.
ReplyDeleteKaylee Schueller
Hey Kaylee
DeleteI agree too that I tried getting book that I like and would get me hooked so I would be able to keep reading it. I hope you enjoy reading your book and hope you are glad with your choice.
I chose the book A Lesson Before Dying because, I also wanted a book that had characters suffering from trouble and drama, as I think it makes the story a lot more interesting.
DeleteHi Kaylee,
DeleteI agree. I like books that hook me right away or else I get bored of it before it even starts. My book jumps in right away also which I really like. I hope you enjoy your book.
Hey Kaylee
DeleteThat's good that you like your book so far. I am also really hooked with the book i am reading as well.
Your book does seem interesting, i am one who also likes drama in my books.
DeleteHi Kaylee,
DeleteI also have trouble getting hooked on books that don't jump right into the story so i am glad that you were able to enjoy your book right away.
I am reading the book "The Game of Life" by Jason McElwain. I choose this book because it is about basketball and is a real life story about a kid who has autism. I like reading more about the real life stories because it makes it easier to relate to which makes for a better read. It is a pretty quick and easy read. The start of it was good and I enjoyed reading it but now it seems like it is repeating itself and kind of makes for a boring read. It is not bad but it is not as enjoyable. I just hope the book picks up again and actually becomes more enjoyable and stops repeating itself.
ReplyDeleteHi Dylan,
DeleteThis book sounds very interesting and a good book to read. I also enjoy basketball but the one thing you mention is it starts getting repetitive. That might get me unhooked from the book but it sounds good enough to give it a try. I hope the book gets better!
Hi Dylan!
DeleteYour book sounds like a very good book to read. I also like to read books with real life stories because it makes it easier to relate too. I also do not like when books repeat several things because I get very bored and it draws my attention away from the book and I do not enjoy it as much.
Kaylee Schueller
Hi Dylan,
DeleteIt is good you found a book that you can relate to but it sucks that it is not enjoyable hopefully it will pick up soon.
Hi Dylan, from your description the book seems very entertaining. I also like the idea of reading a nonfiction book compared to a fiction book. I hope you enjoy your book as you read more.
DeleteHi Dylan,
DeleteFrom your description your book sounds really interesting because it is about a real life story and basketball 2 things that would make it interesting. Hope you can keep enjoying your book.
Its good you found a book you can relate to it always makes the read more interesting. Hope your book picks back up and you enjoy reading it again.
DeleteHi Dylan,
DeleteI also enjoy reading real life stories more and more, there is something different about them that makes them so interesting. However, the repetition that you say is occurring would get very annoying.
I am reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. I chose this book because a bunch of others have read this book and have said it is based off a true story about a former college professor dying from ALS. Asking others what book they would recommend was the process i used to pick a book. There was no specific reason why I chose this book besides others have said it is a good book. The book starts off by Mitch just watching the news and sees his old college professor on Nightline and he is shocked. Morrie, His old professor, is dying from ALS. So far i am hooked because Morrie is an interesting man with a lot of wisdom. Mitch and Morrie also have a strong bond even though they have not seen each other in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteHey Jayden,
DeleteI think your choice of picking this book was good. I read this book too and thought it was a great read. It is kind of sad though reading about Morrie being old and knowing he is going to die. I hope you like the rest of the book.
Hey jayden,
DeleteThis book sounds good, might have to read after I finish my book.
Hey Jayden,
DeleteI have already read this book and it is a book that everyone should read. It is full of life lessons given by the professor Morrie himself and he is such a cool and down to earth guy.
Hey Jayden,
DeleteGlad you are enjoying the book and I agree that it is a great book that everyone can relate to personally. Going through the book, every chapter was relatable and I still remember many of the quotes that Morrie said.
Hi Jayden,
DeleteI have read this book already and I did enjoy it. I think this is a type of book that you can learn things from that can benefit our own lives for the better. While reading this you get to listen to some stories from Morrie's perspective and that makes the book even better.
hi jayden i fell bad for morrie because he has to deal with not being able to do some things that he used to and that he knows he only has 2 years before he will be dead.
DeleteI am reading Tuesdays with Morrie. This book is about a guy named Mitch and Morrie. Morrie was Mitch's old professor and he is now on the verge of death. Mitch now visits him and talks about life and issues with Morrie. I chose this book because it seemed like a sweet book that would be an easy read. I found this book when my friend said she was also reading it for another class so I decided to pick it up also. So far I like this book and I can't wait to find out what happens to their relationship.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has issues in their life and some people can handle things by themselves. Others need a little help. It sounds like this book follows the hardships of someones life and how that person tries to fix them. My book, Enola Gay, has lots of hardships in it. From getting the funds to start the research, to finding and training the right crew and plane to drop the massive weapon.
DeleteHi Amelia,
DeleteI have read this book in one of my classes and I enjoyed it a lot. It has opened my eyes on how I view the world. I am sure you will enjoy the bond that Morrie and Mitch form throughout the book.
Hey Amelia,
DeleteI have read this book in one of my classes and this by far is one of my favorite books. It teaches many life lessons and really opened my eyes.
Hey Amelia,
DeleteI am glad that you are enjoying the book and it just keeps getting better as it goes. Seeing Mitch and Morrie's relationship grow to what it once was several years ago is really interesting and I love seeing how much Mitch develops as a person throughout the book.

DeleteHi amelia i am also reading this book i think by the end of this book it will teach us alot of good life lessions but so far it seems to be a petty good book
DeleteHi Amelia,
DeleteI read this book in a different class and I am glad you are enjoying it. I really enjoyed this book and it opened my eyes to many things. When Morrie talks about how he lived his life it made me realize he lived with no regrets and I need to do the same.
The book I chose is the Trials of Apollo by Rick Rioridan. I chose it because I have read other books by the author before. The process to pick the book out was because I liked the author. The book is good, it's very good at catch readers attention. It starts out with the god apollo waking up in a new york alleyway with no powers or memory and has to find out why.
ReplyDeleteRick Rioriden has written some amazing books in his life and I have read all of the Percy Jackson series. I havent read Trials of Apollo and various other side books. Greek Mythology has always been interesting to me and i will have to consider reading the side books Rick has written.
DeleteI have read some of Rick Rioridan's books too and I would have to agree that he is good with catching the readers attention. I also picked my book out after hearing good things about Earnest Gaines, the author of my book.
DeleteI am ready the book Terror at Bottle Creek by Watt Key. I chose this book because when I read the back of the book it really peeked my interest. I've been hooked sense I started the book. Its about a 13 year-old boy named Court who lives with his dad on a house boat in the swamps of Alabama. Him and his dad plan on staying with there neighbors the Stovall's because there is a hurricane heading there way and are preparing. I will say my least favorite part of the book is the fact that its starts so slow to get to the point of the book, but overall its a good book.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in this book, but you say the beginning is rough too because it starts off slow which I also hate about most books that do that. But in the end I would have to say I will still read the book given the fact that it's a horror book.
DeleteFrom hearing about this book in class from you and reading this, it has me very interested in the book. I am glad your enjoying this book i would want to read this too.
DeleteThat sounds like an amazing book with the way your talking about and i would want to read this book too.
DeleteSounds interesting. I too am into horror books, and I almost always find that they have a slow start. I feel like it's inevitable.
DeleteThat sounds like a good book. My book is similar in a way that people and coming for the main character and not a hurricane but its kinda similar becasue they still have to prepare and take shelter almost for them.
DeleteI chose to read the book Enola Gay. Enola Gay us about the creation and dropping of the atomic bombs in world war two. Enola Gay was the name of the plane to drop the first atomic bomb. This book is interesting to me as its about World War 2, and even better its in the Pacific Theatre of war, which is my favorite part to study and read about. The book begins with the introduction of the Atomic Bombs research, starting with how Albert Einstien and various other scientists urged the US begin research on Atomic Weapons. Through the book the project gets a lot of funds and beyond top secret levels of secrecy.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very interesting. I have always wanted to know more about the research, development, and implications of the atomic bombs. It would be interesting to learn about the types of planes used and who their pilots were. Also what impact did dropping the atom bombs have on the pilots?
DeleteYour book sounds really interesting because it about ww2 and I like learning about history, I would definitely read it.
DeleteThis book sounds like a blast you see what I did there. Anyway this book sounds interesting because I feel like you would get the view of the scientists. I am interested in history myself and I would definitely read this because I know a little bit about the atomic bombs but not as much as I would like to.
DeleteWW2 books interest me a lot because no one really knows everything and you always learn something new. Hope you like your books sounds good
DeleteI am reading the book "Forever and Always Lara Jean" by Jenny Han. I chose this book because I have read the first two books in this series so I wanted to read the last one. I am the person that likes to gravitate towards horror books or books with mystery in them, but here and there I like romance novels. The book is about a teenager named Lara Jean who is dating her boyfriend named Peter Kavinsky. Peter is committed to UVA for lacrosse and Lara Jean is waiting on her acceptance letter there. All she wants is to go to the same school as her boyfriend and live happily ever after, but this dream is soon crushed.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara,
DeleteIt is good that you wanted to finish the series, you seem to enjoy them enough to keep wanting to read them.
Hi Sara!
DeleteGlad to see that you found an interesting book. Horror stories is something I have never been a fan of, they freak me out too much. I think it is cool how to story is about kids our age and they are in the college process too! Hopefully you can stay interested for the rest of the book!
Cade Messer
Hi Sara,
DeleteI watched the first two movies based on that series and they were very good. I normally don't like romance books but I found myself enjoying the plot anyways. Are you liking it so far?
I am reading the book A Lesson Before Dying, by Earnest J. Gaines. it is about two African American men in the 1940's one of which was falsley accused of murder and sentenced to death. the other one reluctantly tries to teach the convict what the meaning of life is, after his dehumanizing trial. I chose this book because the title sounded interesting, and after reading a couple chapters it turned out to be just that.
ReplyDeleteHey Nolan, I am reading tuesdays with morrie and it seems like our books are similar. They both deal with death and a little about how they deal with it. It is a hard topic to read about because you know how it is going to end. Hope you enjoy your book.
DeleteI am reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel. The reason I wanted this book is I do not really know much about the Holocaust and would love to learn more about what happened on the inside of the concentration camps. I was very shocked on how the soldiers did not treat these people like they were humans. they made them go wherever they wanted and made them do whatever they pleased. I would say I'm hooked to this book as I am very interested what will happen moving forward.
ReplyDeleteThis book was very interesting to me as well. And I would have to say I read this book for the same reasons why you choose to read this book, the Holocaust is very disturbing and sad.
DeleteHey Max!
DeleteGlad to see that you chose this book, I think it is one that every should read. Even after reading it I am still shocked with how awfully the Germans treated the Jews. I can't even wrap my head around that someone would do such a thing. I hope that you continue to stay hooked in the rest of the book!
Cade Messer
This was the last book i was reading in the class i liked it alot but it was a little graphic in the words
DeleteHi Max, The book Night is very interesting! I read that book for my 2nd book. Night gets very detailed as the book goes on, After I finished the book i was still shocked by what the Germans put the Jews through, it is overall a great book!
DeleteHey max
DeleteIm reading this book to its a little hard to get into because its a little graphic and alot goes on in so little time.
That book did seem interesting and is the book I originally wanted for the second book.
DeleteI chose the book Tuesdays with Morrie, I chose this book because i found it interesting. I found it interesting because it is about a college student and his experiences with his professor, Mitch Albom is the student and also the writer, his professor Morrie Schwartz is dying of ALS. Every Tuesday Mitch would go to Morrie's to chat and share thoughts with him. Morrie was big on people appreciating the things they have in life instead of always wanting more. He wanted to spread his wisdom with many others that need it.
ReplyDeletehi Colin, Tuesdays with Morrie is such an amazing book! I had to read it in comp, that book taught me many life lessons! i am interested to know what you will think of this book. Did you think the start of the book was good or no? i hear many mixed emotions!
DeleteHi Colin, when we read Tuesdays with Morrie in comp it was such an amazing book. this book definitely will teach you a lot of life lessons and i think now with all of us leaving for college soon it will be something that is good to hear it teaches you not to take anything for granted. hopefully you like the book!
DeleteHi Colin,
DeleteI also read the book Tuesdays with Morrie in Composition II. It was one of my favorite books and it was easy to comprehend. That book has taught me so many life lessons that I would have never thought about. Do you plan on watching the movie after reading? (The movie is also very interesting!)
The book I am reading is The Surrender Tree, and this book is date back into the 1860s' when slavery was going on in Cuba. I choose this book because I am interested in learning about Black history. My initial thoughts about this book is that so far it's really good and interesting. The main character is Rosa who is a healer in this book (Nurse). The book starts by introducing Rosa as the healer who can heal anybody and everybody. I am hooked by this book with the twist and turns it introduces.
ReplyDeleteI have not read this book but it sounds interesting. Because I have never read a book about slavery in Cuba. Also, I like the name of the book I hope it has a deeper understanding later on in the book.
DeleteThe final book that I chose to read for this class was Tuesday’s with Morrie. The reason that I picked this is because we were reading it in Comp so I thought it was a no brainer to save me time and only read 1 book for two classes instead of two separate ones. I have already finished this book as we read through it quickly for Comp but it starts off with a backstory on Mitch the student and Morrie the professor. The book states how good of a relationship they had while Mitch was in college. It then comes back to the present and Mitch tells how he got back in touch with Morrie and how he found out he was suffering from ALS. After the story is set it hops right into the first Tuesday that Mitch went to go visit Morrie. Right here is when I was hooked as Mitch had so many things going on in his but would not put it on hold to go see Morrie. Mitch sat in the street for some time to finish a phone call while Morrie was inside dying. This just really put into perspective for me that all of us need to slow down and not be so career oriented. Money and success are not everything in life, the memories, and moments we spend with friends, family and loved ones is what life is about. Knowing that all the topics in this book were some that I need to do better myself helped to keep me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteCade Messer
Thats a good idea reading one book for 2 classes with graduation coming up. I see similarities between your character, Morrie, and my character Chris Kyle. They are both leading social figures and want to help and protect other people with their own sacrifices.
DeleteI chose to read American Sniper by Chris Kyle. I chose to read it because I saw the movie but haven't read the book. It was a very good movie. The book starts out in 2003, then flashes back to the late 90s and early 2000s. It talks about his high school and being a cowboy. Pretty good book so far.
ReplyDeletesounds really good hope you like it. I i am really into books like those tell me how it goes!!
Deletei chose to read the book "Animal Farm" i chose to read this book because i enjoy reading political style books and this is a super short read, as well as very popular. the setting of the book is on a farm that is overthrown and ruled by pigs/pther animals. so far the book is going exactly how i thought it would, im excited to keep reading it.
ReplyDeleteHi Chase,
DeleteI read this book last year in English 3B and I really enjoyed it! I also loved how it was a short read and it moved at a perfect pace. It was a little confusing for me to read at first, but with help from my English teacher, it was easy to comprehend. I hope you continue to love the book like I did!
I also read this book last year and i didnt mind it but it does get boring sometimes.
DeleteI am reading the book "Dead Lake" by Darcy Coates. I chose this book because it is very suspenseful which I like. Every chapter ends in a cliffhanger so it makes me want to keep reading. I really like this book because there are not any dull boring parts of it and it is a mystery so it keeps me thinking. This book got me hooked right away which I like in a book. It constantly has me wondering what is going to happen next. When I was looking for a book I would look at the number of pages to make sure it wasn't too long, and I also read the summaries. After I had picked out a few books I narrowed it down to this one.
ReplyDeletei also like cliff hangers, i think that is what keeps people motivated in a book mostly because it keeps there mind thinking and wanting to know whats going to happen. my book got me hooked also with all the suspencful part and interesting plots.
DeleteI am reading Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons, this book is about a little girl whos mom has cancer and her dad is abusive. I chose this book because of the first few words when I started the book "When i was little i would think of ways to kill my father". Right away it got me hooked and i couldn't put the book down!
ReplyDeleteHi Ella,
Deletesounds like your book starts off pretty interesting and would make me want to read it as well. glad you are liking the book! Hopefully it continues to be a good one.
Hi Ella, this book already seems so interesting. And by those few words it would make me want to read it as well! I hope it stays suspenseful.
DeleteHi Ella. This book sounds really interesting, especially with the first sentence hooking you in. This story sounds like it will be sad but also very mysterious. Hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI am reading Night by Elie Wiesel this book is about the holocaust and how Eliezer's family had to go through it. I chose this book because it was shorter and i heard from other people its a good read. I am not hooked just yet but that is because i haven't read to much into it.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
DeleteI am reading the same book as you and I also heard it was a really good book. Once you get into reading it more it becomes a good book. Hopefully you like it.
The book I chose to read is "When you see me" by Lisa Gardner. I took individualize reading, and this was one of the books I wanted to read but did not. I chose this book because the cover looks suspenseful and eerie. It starts off with a little story, then switches point of views, which can be confusing at first.
ReplyDeletehey Kate,
DeleteMy book also has a bunch of point of views and it's hard for me to keep track of all the characters I have in my book. But I hope it getting less confusing as you read more.
I am reading "Flint" by Louis L'amour, this book is about a young boy who was raised and taught how to fight by Flint who was a old bounty hunter. The book starts off with Flint being killed in a bar when the young boy James T. Kettleman was grown up and then tells about how he disappears after Flint is killed.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Michael Vey The Prisoner of Cell 25, the book is about michael and how he has powers and he doesn't know why. He is basically a electric eel in a sense that he shocks people like an eel. He learns that there are more people like him, her name is taylor and there are about 17 others that they don`t know about. recently they met the person behind all this. His name is Hatch and he runs the Elgin electricity company or something like that. He has a plan to be the world's leader in electricity and if he gets his hands on Michael he could do that easily.
ReplyDeleteI've read the entire series, I would highly recommend you read it all.
DeleteI am reading the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. I chose this book because some of my friends read it and said that it was a good book. It starts out talking about Elizel and his family living in a small Jewish town then it gets taken over by Germans and they are moved to Aushwitch. It hooks me right away because there is action from the start and the main character is fighting for his life. Its a good book and I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI read this book a few weeks ago, it is really good. Do you have any opinions on the main character so far?
DeleteI am reading this too, I was a little bit confused at the beginning of the book when they are all in the ghetto. Right when they were taken to Aushwitch is when I really was hooked and wanted to keep reading.
DeleteSawyer Nauman
I am reading "The Combination" by Elias Carr. It is about a school with strange lockers with astronomical symbols on them. The day seems ordinary, but off-putting. I chose it because the title seemed foreboding. It's fast-paced, so I got hooked quickly, and am along for the ride.
ReplyDeleteFor the final book I chose to read was "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. I chose to read this book because i had started it last year and was not able to finish it because we got sent home so i decided to reread it now. This book is about Ronnie Miller is angered to learn that she and younger brother Jonah are being sent to stay with their father for the summer. They do not really get along with him so they're not the happiest with the decision. The talented young pianist is already angry with her mother over her refusal to attend the Juilliard music school, and is in no mood to spend the holidays away from her friends in a small Southern beach town. I'm glad we were able to chose our last book because for once its a book that i like to read and one I can enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteHi Makenna
DeleteThis book gives me TV series vibes where their are family issues that they are known as "rich people issues" because in this book the family have everything except the happiness and the bond between the parents.
Hi Makenna, if the book is anything like the movie then I can only imagine it is good! I also tried to read it last year but didn't get to due to covid so I watched the movie instead.
DeleteThe book I chose was "They Both Die At the End" by Adam Silvera. I chose this book because my friend recommended it to me and I have been wanting to read it for a while. It starts out right away with the characters getting told that within the next 24 hours they are going to die. So they have find ways to spend their last day without ending it sooner. I got hooked really quickly cause it jumped right into the story line instead of giving a huge intro.
ReplyDeletethis sounds very interesting! it makes me think what i would do if i was told that. sometimes you can tell when a book will end in a cliff hanger, do you think it will end in one?
DeleteThis book sounds really good to me! If you only had 24 hours do you think you would do everything you possibly could? I hope to read this someday.
DeleteThe book I am reading is called " Code of Silence" and I didn't really go through anything to find this book, I just picked one out and the other reason for me to pick this book because its a mystery and it seemed like an interesting story. The book starts off with 3 8th graders that are hanging out in a diner that is just hanging out and as soon as they leave 2 men just comes out of no where and just starts beating the owner of the diner and the three is still in the diner and they were to witness all of that and my thoughts on the book so far is that it really got me hooked onto the book and i really hope I learn more about the book than I know now.
ReplyDeletethis seems like a crazy book and i want to know if there was a reason they beat up the owner of the diner
DeleteThe book i am reading is called "Dear Evan Hansen". I chose this book because my brother read it last year and he really liked it so i wanted to give it a try. The book starts off by introducing Evan Hansen. Evan is a very anxious person and goes out of his way not to talk to people or be seen. He goes to therapy, writes in a journal and takes medication. I am pretty hooked on the book so far. I think Evan is a very relatable character for highschoolers because sometimes we all feel socially anxious like him.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Foer. I chose to read this book because it deals a lot with 9/11 and I love hearing people's stories on 9/11 and how they were affected from it. The librarian helped me choose this book because I told her I liked to read books about murder and 9/11 and she led me to this book. This book is longer than any other book I have read before, but it has me hooked. The story is about a young boy named Oskar, whos dad died on 9/11. It also tells a story how Oskar tries to find what a key unlocks that he found in his dad's closet. The book has lots of pictures to break up the reading, which I like and helps me comprehend a little better. It gets confusing at times, because the chapters go back and forth talking about Oskar's life then back to talking about Oskar's grandmother. Overall, I really like my book so far and it is surprisingly a fast read due to there being lots of pictures in the book.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, I am introducing my book that is called Tuesdays with Morrie, which is about an old man and a young man and about their great life lesson who have this wonderful bond between this teacher and student. Which I choose this book because I am read the introduction of this book that totally got my attention and also remember my sophomores year English teacher telling all of us about thus book that you guys should read this before you guys gradate because it has to many things that we should about before we are out their in real world.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are reading your book and can relate to it because it makes it more enjoyable and easier to read. My book night isn't relatable to real time, but it gives us kind of a flash back of the past and educates us on what happened and gives us some warning signs so something like that doesnt happen again.
DeleteHello Jaksh, I am also reading this book I think it offers you to think in a different perspective then you would normally see. It also talks about things that most people avoid talking about so it is interesting to me also. Hope you enjoy your reading.
DeleteThe book I chose to read was "P.S. I Still Love You" and I decided to read this because I have already seen the movie of the first part (To all the boys I've loved before) which kind of left you on a cliff hanger so I wanted to read the next part. The book starts off by giving some background information to refresh people's memories on the first part. It talks about how Lara Jean and Peter are broken up and why they're broken up. After the background information, it leads right into New Years day with Lara Jeans whole family. Then Lara Jean decided to go to Peter's house and apologize which ends up with them getting back together, but not officially.

DeleteHi Erin,
DeleteI have never read these books but I have seen the movies. I do agree that the first movie left off with a cliff hanger. I think it would be interesting to see the differences from the movie and the book. As well as what details were left out of the movies.
I have also only ever seen the movies and I would really like to read this book!
DeleteI choose to read "Night" by Elie Wiesel. I wanted to read this book so badly because I wrote it down as my first choice for book two and sadly was not able to get it. I am very interested in all WWll events but mainly the Holocaust. It was a horrible event but I am so fascinated in learning more about it and specifically from first person. I have not been disappointed so far as I am learning a lot even though at points it is very hard to read because of the brutal events. I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
ReplyDeleteHi Eric, "Night" was also my first choice for my last book, but I ended up not reading it. It sounds like such a good book and seems to keep you on the edge of your seat. WWII event also interest me. I hope you like the rest of your book.
DeleteI agree with you. The books premise is very interesting but actually reading the book is so hard and makes me want to put it down sometimes because of the atrocities that happen throughout. Like when they strip the jews of their crowns from their teeth and when they divide them out by age and who's weak and who's not.
DeleteI chose to read the book "Tuesday's With Morrie". I really like it so far. Morrie is a professor who has made a large impact on all the students he teaches. I chose this book because we are reading it in Comp. But so far it has me hooked because Morrie is such a great role model to Mitch who is one of his former students. And even though i am only about 20 pages in I am learning so much about each one of there lives.- Maci Steffen
ReplyDeleteHi Maci, I heard that book is a good one. People that read it for their last book said it was one they couldn't put down. I feel like it is a book I would like. I hope you enjoy!
DeleteHi Maci, I'm really glad that you are enjoying the book! It's a really good read if you take the time to really put yourself in the story.
DeleteHi Maci. I had to read this book for my comp class and I really enjoyed it. It really changes the way you look at things. Morrie has really good advice throughout the book. I hope you enjoy the book!

DeleteI choose to read The Sea of Monsters. I have been trying to get my hands on this book for awhile and now I got it. I am very interested in Greek mythology which made me get reeled in by the book. This book starts off with Percy fighting monsters in a gym. I like this book at this moment so I look forward to the ending.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book "Every Last Word". I choose this book because it looked simple and the description of it made it seem like an interesting book. I think the book is a good one. It is most definitely a roller coaster book. It has times where it is boring but also has times where you don't want to stop reading. I am excited to keep reading into my book and answer the questions I have about it.

ReplyDeletedo you relate to this book? I know I have had teachers that have really impacted me. Do you connect to the book through this or any other way?
DeleteI also have read this book, and to be honest I didn't really like it. It was pretty boring with no real climax so it was hard to stay hooked. I also found almost everything Morrie said to be extremely cliche'. However, there are some things mentioned in the book that do make you think about your life in a different way.

your book seems really interesting with the hole role motel aspect and it seems like it is going to have a great ending
DeleteHey Maci,
DeleteI have read this book before and agree with everything that you have said. It really is quite the impactful book and keeps a hold of the reader throughout the entire thing because you never know if something is going to happen or what to expect next.
I chose the book Sorry not Sorry by Sophie Rynolds. Technically I did not chose my book. I found myself looking at books that was the same as every book I have ever picked out for myself so i decided to ask for a recommendation and this is the book I received. It is about a 20 something year old girl and the struggles life throws at her. i find this book interesting but not exactly a i cannot put the book down type of read, but i am only half way through so i am hoping for a dramatic twist yet.
ReplyDeleteI choose the book Night because wanted to read about the holocaust from the jew's point of view. The way the book started was a little strange by talking about this person named Moishe who no one paid attention to even though he knew that they would be captured by the Germans soon enough. I started to like the book more when Elie and his father were sent to a concentration camp with everyday being tougher than the last.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Night, and so far it is about what I expected it to be. I chose this book initially for book number two, but didn't get it. So when I got the option to pick this book, I knew exactly what I was going to choose. Another reason why I chose this book was because it was one of the shorter books, yet still had great context. The book starts relatively slow, in fact I was a little bit confused at first. However, as soon as they went to the concentration camp I was able to connect with the book. I am actually really hooked on the book, some of the scenes are almost as if if I am there with the characters.

I am reading Where She Went, it is a sequel to the book If I Stay. I chose this book because I enjoyed the first an was intrigued to read the second one. The first book is show from Mia's point of view and now in the second book it is from Adam's point of view. At first I did not like this since the first book was from Mia's point of view I expected the second book to be from her point of view again. Although it is interesting to see from Adam's perspective of the aftermath of Mia and him separating.
ReplyDeleteHey Alyssa,
DeleteI have read these books before and saw it exactly as you do now when I began reading the next book in the sequel. I wasn't sure what to think and was not expecting it either. However I agree with you when you say it's interesting to have a new perspective of the story.
The book I chose to read is "Woods Runner" by Gary Paulson. I saw this book in the library and I thought the cover looked interesting, I then figured out that it was a Revolutionary War book and I decided to read it. The book starts off with a bang, a 13 year old boy is out hunting for his meal, when he comes back his parents are gone and there house is burnt down. This leads to many different challenges. I think that he handles this fairly well, he seems to be very mature for a 13 year old.
ReplyDeletehi Sam
DeleteI feel in my book the character starts out immature but through the book so far he has gotten way more matured and I hope your book is very good
I chose to read Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close because I remembered this book from sophomore year and I didn't get to read it then and I really wanted too. this book immediately got me hooked the main character in the book has a mental disability and it is cool to see how he thinks and caries himself also how driven he is. I really look forward to the rest of the book and how the characters evolve and I really hope the main character finds closer from his dads death
ReplyDeletei chose the book Tuesdays with morrie. i chose this book because i had a couple of people recomend me to read it. the beginning of the book talks about how this professor named morrie gets diagnosed with ALS and the doctors gave him two years tops to live. it talks about how morries body is slowly deuterating . for the most it is not to bad of a book. Nate
ReplyDeleteI am reading Tuesday with Morrie and it started off good when mitch graduated college and told his professor that they would keep in touch, but never did and Morrie got ALS and now isn't doing to hot. I picked this book because I heard it was a easy read and so far it is. I am hooked on the book right now and it seems to get really good now.
ReplyDelete1. the author creates a image like how sarahs room looks or how the court room looks. 2. i think this takes place around a year before the george floyd case. 3. he kinda walks through it and it kinda goes back and runs through what happened up to that point so u dont get confused but sometime you would have to reread to not skip through anything. 4. The way the dad who killed jerome looks he looked like he didnt sleep and pale and old. 5. sarahs room i dont know but i can visualize sarahs room very well and i can see every thing it does kinda get mixed up here and there but the more he explains it the more i see.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis and so far in the book it's explaining how MLB scouts look at how baseball players play and what is good about them and if there good enough to be drafted by any of the team's in the MLB, the main player in the book is Billy Bean who at the time is in high school but is most likely to be drafted right out of high school, but Billy wanted to go to school rather then play pro baseball right away, but Billy ended up being drafted by the New York Mets, but Billy still wanted to go to school, then the Mets head scout invited him to a game and had him look around the team's clubhouse and they had a locker with a jersey with his last name on the back and he got to meet some of the players but after the game he still wanted to go to school but he ended signing with the Mets, but after awhile Billy started to have second thoughts about it.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read the book "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana De Rosnay. I chose this book because my mom has always told me to read it as she thinks I would enjoy it. I am quite interested in stories and books that discuss past events in history, such as World War II and other powerful historical events. The book started out diving right into something interesting when her family was being rounded up and taken from their home. This was surprising but I was glad something interested happened right away and I didn't get uninterested or bored before I even really start getting into the book. So far I am pretty hooked on the book and am enjoying it thoroughly, there's not really any lagging parts in it that make me want to stop reading.
ReplyDeleteI choose to read Misery By Stephan King. I choose this book because I'm a really big fan Kings work so i was pumped up to start reading this book regardless! So the story beginning with an author driving through a snowy mountain range and he crashes his car. His #1 fan happens to save him and nurse him back to health.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Nerve by Jeanne Ryan. I chose this book because it was one of the few I had at my house and it seemed interesting. It started with a girl our age joining a world wide game where you compete by doing dares. I really like it so far and I was hooked right away.
