The book I just finished to read is called the Outsiders, by H.E Hinton. The reason I picked that book is because I read it lastyear. It is a very interesting book and it keep you wondering what will hapen next. The reason I also picked it is because in 6th period we have to read a book that has been turned into a movie. THe outsiders is a book that will always make you not want to stop reading, it can also keep you up all night and try to finsh it.
the book that i am reading is called a babysitters nightmare. The page that i am currently on is 190. Kate Daniel. the reason why i picked this book is it has a lot of suspense and mysiteries and is the master of keeping you wondering whats coming next. I am going to do a wanted poster for my mini project
The book I am currently Reading is, Number The Stars. By Lois Lowry. I am on Page 20. The Reason i choosen this is because I've heard of it, and I've found out that many people have not read or heard of this book. I was hoping that when i persent it the class that it would really put a impact on the students and I that they would learn about the stugles these girls have to go through

Rstraub2, I have read that book twice and seen the movie twice as well.
The book I hvae choose to red this week is Charlie Bone and the Beast, by Jenny Nimmo, Iam currebntly on page 268.I choose the book because last year I think it was last yera i had started reading the series of the book and i got to book six but it turneed out the library did not have book six so they had to order it and now i finally have it. Anyway i choose the book becasue it is adventurous and very creative and it gives you mental picture of every little thing.Thats how descriptive it is. I also choose the book because it i enjoy the author's great imagination.Lastly I choose the book because it is a exeptional series. I am currently thinking about doing a glogster on this book since my wanted poster wasn't all that godog.

I just started reading Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I'm sure you have heard of his famous plays before. I am on page 12. I chose to read this book because after I read Hamlet I decided to read another work of Shakespeare's. Hamlet was a little advanced for me and I needed to take it down a level to understand. Macbeth came to mind when I was thinking about reading my next book. After I finalized my decision to read Macbeth I asked my step-dad to take me down to the public library to get it. I'm almost positive that I will do a wanted poster for this book.

The book I am reading is called Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I am on page 36. The reason I am reading this book is because I love the movie the wizard of Oz and the green which was always one of the people I hated. SO i wanted to read the story of her life. Also my cousin read it and said it was really good! I plan to do a word poem for this book.
kbennett3

EKeck04
Ive always wantd to read that play..is it good?
I am currently reading The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements. I am on page 50. I choose this book because the cover looked interesting. Also, I thought it might have to do with band because it has music on the front cover. The mini project that I thought about doing is the symbols in a bag. I think it would be a little easy.
SMOUSHEY04,
I think you should do a glogster.
EKeck04,
sounds good!
The book am doing is called Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz.
Just started, It is 192 pages.

The book I am reading is Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. I am currently on page 263. I chose to read this book because when I was stuck inside a bookstore for 3 hours, the only thing interesting to read was the graphic novel of my book. I was really interested by it, so I chose to read the actual book. I will probably do a blog for my mini project, but I may change my mind.
bclark3,
I have read that book before, it's really interesting.
jbills3 ,
So you are trying to do the least amount of work possible? Good luck with that.
I am reading a book called Blue Death......but i forgot the author and i dont have the book with me now. oh well. i think im on page like.......100. anyways. i chose this book because i really like the color blue and if i see a book about death and the color blue it has got to be amazing. It really isnt a very good book but i figured hey im already on page 100 mighyt as well keep it going. so that is why i chose the book and also why i hate it.
My book is The Red Pyramid I just finished it. I chose this book because it is a newer series from my favorite author Rick Riordan, famous for the Lightning Thief series. Another reason I chose this book is because I heard it was good from my friends. The mini project I'm thinking of doing is the glogster, because I am good at those types of things. This book is not as good as the Lightning Thief series to me, because it has a really slow start.
Robert,
That series is amazing, I think you will enjoy it.
BClark3,
Isn't Tom Clancy a video game saga also?
The book I am reading is called: Perfect Chemistry. I am currently On page 152. The author is SImone Elkeles. I am planning on doing the mini-project Word Poem. The book is very good right now I have a feeling it will definitly get a lot better!
