Out of all the books I have read this year Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows By J.K. Rowling was my favorite. The genre of the book is fantasy. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is about Harry, Ron, and Hermione trying to find the Horcruxes so they can kill Voldemort. The battle at the end of the book is really violent but thats what made it the best out of the series. The book is really long but it is definitely worth reading.
Out of all the books I read this year I would say that my favorite one was 10 Things to Do before I Die. This book was written by Daniel Ehrenhaft. The genre was General Fiction. I loved this book, because it seemed so surreal. The way Ted Burger got poisoned by the local fry cook's fries. Also how he went all crazy and had to do all these things before he died. Including loosing his virginity. So he, obviously, accomplished all of these things before he died of poison. The whole book was very entertaining..
gfleck3,
Harry Potter books are always interesting!
My favorite book I have read this entire year would have to be "The Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan. It is my favorite book because it has had the best plot, characters, settings, and I could imagine everything well from my perspective. It is also my favorite because it involves Greek mythology, and I love Greek mythology. Rick Riordan has the Greek gods right on the spot, probably because he taught it for 8 years. This is not only a good book, but also an amazing series.
GFleck3,
I agree I would've picked that, but I read it in 6th grade.
KFundenburg,
That sounds like an... intersting book.
Interesting*
I would have to say one of my favorite book I read this year would have to be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling. The genre is fantasy since there is magic. I love this book because it keeps me interested and wanting to read more. If a book cant keep my attention I cant finish it. I also loved the other book as well. I also liked in this book how she put in humor in the right parts but kept it serious too.
gfleck3,
That was my favorite book this year too!
kfundenberg,
That book sounds good. Maybe I should read it!
All of the books i have read this year Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen is my personal favorite. This book is about a girl named Ruby and her mom just gets up and leaves her one day. So, Ruby is sent to live with her sister but she has not seen er sister for five years. Her life has been filled with nothing but people leaving her. I liked this book because at the end she finally found a home.
gfleck3
Loved all of those books<3
Kfundenburg4
Thats sounds cool(:
I have read a ton of awesome books this school year. There have been alot of books that I called my favorite but there is one that stands out to me. It is The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness by Joel Izzy. Joel's book is a biography, but it tells a wonderful eye-opening story. Joel's biography reached inside of me and pulled out a part of me that I have never seen. Books really can change people.
gfleck3
I read that book this year but I did it for fun. I didn't do a mini-project on it. I enjoyed that book very much.
ebowers4
I think a lot of people enjoyed that book this year. Too bad the series are ending, right?
I have read a lot of books over the school year. Yet my favorite book would have to be The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The genre of the book is scientific fiction. The book is about a boy who wakes up in a strange new world not remembering a thing from his past. I like this book because it is very adventurous and has a lot of twists and turns in it.
gfleck3,
Your book sounds very good, I remember watching the movie to the first half of it.
Kfundenburg4,
Your book sounds very cool, and how the guy gets to accomplish all of those things before he dies.
TLand4,
I read that book this year, it was really good!
cmazza3,
The movie rocked I can't wait until the second part comes out!k
My favorite book this year is Peaches by Jody Lynn Anderson. The genre would be realistic fiction. I really liked this book because I can realate to it. It was also very good and I couldn't put it down. It also shows what its going to be like in highschool. It was a great book.
gfleck3,
Harry Potter books are good!
Tland4,
I heard that book is good!
My favorite book that I read this year was the sea of monsters writen by Rick Riordan. The genre is fiction and greek mythology. Its about Percy the main character and his best friend Annebeth are trying to save A nother friend Grover by a cyclops. They go through a lot of enemys and such over the sea. I like it because its filled with action and theres a war.
tland4, I read that book its good.
gfleck3, Is that a good book?
The best book that I have read this year would have to be Searching for David’s Heart by Cherie Bennett. The genre of this book is comedy/drama. I liked this book the best because it kept me reading. It was sad at some parts of the book but in the end it’s happy. This book takes you through a story between a sister and brother and friends. This book made me think about all the people in the world that have heart transplants. Over all it was a really good book!
Lmehan4,
Sounds like a good book!
Kfundenburg4,
Sounds entertaining..
My favorite book that I have read this year was Perfect Chemistry.The author Simmone Elkeles and the genre is fiction. I really like this book because it's about high school drama and it was really funny. The guy, Alex, bet his gang friends that he could get a date with the most popular girl in the school, Brittany, before Thanksgiving. The book was so good I could never put it down. It's worth reading.
gfleck3,
I really liked the movie.
Lmehan4, I really like that book. I hope they make a movie out of it.
My favorite from this year that I read would have to be The Outsiders by S.E Hinton.This book is not a true story SE hinton wrote this book when she was just 17 years old, she was friends with a greaser, but the events of this story are fictional. The reason this is my favorite book for this year is because this book always got me to read. It always had me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. This story showed that anything in life is possible. To always believe in your self and just keep going in life.
Kfundenburg4,
That is an amazing book! :)
gfleck3,
That is a really good book....I read it many times! :)
This has to be a hard becuase theres so much I've read this year. But the best book I have read is The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. I've always been into the Sci-Fi works by wells, and I've alawys been intristend in the book. Its like one of those things that never gets old
Kfundenburg4
Nice book
Most definitely the best book I've read all year is "The Lost Heroes" by Rick Riordan. Being a fantasy, it was bound to be awesome! The story began with some random fifteen year old dude who didn't have his memories. He soon learned he was a roman demigod and set out on a quest to save a menopausal Hera that would restore his memories. The details, you'll have to fill in yourselves. The book's full of flips n' tricks n' magic... hey, it even has super buff dudes.:O
gfleck,
I just saw the movie for the first time last night! It was good.
tland,
That book's epic! My book comes right after that series.
The book I enjoyed most this year was skulduggery pleasant by Derek Landy. The genre of this book is fantasy and it had great suspense and awsome action scenes that made the book interesting to read. One of the most exciting parts was when skulduggerey fights this weird creature with tentacles because it captures stephanie.
gfleck3, I wonder if the book is like the movie? I would probally never take the time to read it though because those books are very long.
kfundenburg4, That book sounds very interesting!
My favrie book this year was Storm Breaker By Anthony Horriwits.The genre is action.This book is about a kid getting into troble and running from that trouble.This book is my favorite this year because it was actioney
Gfleck3:
Sounds cool
Kfundenburg4:
sounds like a good book
The book that I liked the most this year was The Boy Who Dared. The author is Susan Barletti, the genre is mystery. This was the last book i read this year. I liked it because i love learning new things about the Holocaust and World War II. I plan to read more books from this author.
My favorite book that i read this year would definitely have to be the lovely bones. This book is by Alice Sebold and is a mystery book. This book is about a girl,susie salmon, who gets kidnapped raped and murdered when she was only 14 years old. The book as a whole is about her family and friends coming together and working together to try to figure out who her murder was and why they would do such a thin. But in the long run things happen such as her sister, lindsey salmon, falling in love. Her mother, Abigail salmon, falling in love with the detective that is helping them try to solve Susie's murder when she is already married. Her father,Jack Salmon, getting very,,very,, hurt from trying to solve the murder. And her brother, Buckley Salmon, becoming a man. The reason why i love this book is because you can see all of the love that every one in this little town has for this child. And how they come together as one big family to help solve this murder of just one girl that they hardly even know. And that is the irony of it... even though these people have no idea who this girl is they still come together and try t help solve the murder.
hfundenburg4,
i think that that might be the type of book that i might want to read one day it seems like a very cool book.
kfundenburg4,
I will have to say that parents are very smart because they made me read that same exact book and i loved it. Maybe we can talk about it together sometime!
My favorite book of all time and this year that I have read has to Watership Down by Richard Adams. The genre is fantasy. The book is so good that every year I reread it and I have been rereading it every since 4th grade. It is about these awesome rabbits who go on a journey to start a new home once theirs is torn down by construction workers. The rabbits have to fight birds, cats, and even other kick butt rabbits. I love the book and reccomend it to everybody because it's so amazing and emotional! I'm going to enjoy reading it again next year.
Rstraub2,
I really enjoyed reading that book last year.
Kfundenburg4,
That seems like such a strange book!
My favorite book that I read this year was The Last Song. This book was by Nicholas Sparks and it was realistic fiction. In this book Ronnie, a teenage girl, falls in love with a boy when she is shipped to her dad's house for the summer. They have an on and off relationship but they end up together. Ronnie's dad dies at the end and it is a sad ending. This book was a good chick flick and I only had to do one mini project for it.
cmazza3,
Sounds good!
amonari2,
Thats such a good book!
This year I have read a lot of books but my abouslute favorite would have be 13 reasons why. I dont remember the author this book but I do remember it being one my favorites. The genre of that book was realistic fiction. I say that was my favorite book because it waS like mystery but it was also sad. It was about a girl who commited sucide because she felt like she was alone and was sick of being bullied. But, prior to her killing herself she made 13 tapes and 13 stories and sent a copy to all the people who helped her make the descion to kill herself. I remeber the saddest part was toward the end when she went to the guidance counselor and was like if you can help me then i wont do this if you cant help me then goodbye. She told the guidance counselor that she needed her gelp and she didnt do anything. After school that day she went home and killed herself because her last hope didnt help her. It was a really good book it kept me interested throughout the whole book and i could def. read it more than once. :)
My favorite book that I read this school year was Overboard by:Elizabeth Fama. This book was about a girl that wanted to leave home from her family and come to the states with her uncle that visited her. When she snuck away onto the boat everything went down hill. The boat had problems and was beginning to sink. She had to do everything in her will to stay alive. She got onto an island waiting to be saved with a little boy she had taken with her. This was my favorite because it taught me how to be strong and to think of others and not always think about myself.
jblumer3,
I love that movie. I wish I found the time to read that book this year.
hfundenburg4,
I think I might just want to read that.
Out of all the books I have read this year, the one I'm reading now is my favorite. The book I am reading now is "The Quickie". The author is James Patterson and I'm on page 200. The genre is realistic fiction. My favorite genre is realistic fiction so that gives the book an A+ to start with. This book is about the main character, Lauren Stillwell, and her husband, Paul, both cheating on each other. They both are dating another person. But Paul murdered Scott, the guy Lauren was dating. Paul doesn't know that Lauren saw him kill Scott. So he is totally clueless. When Lauren gets assigned to be the main detective on this case, she has know idea what to do. Scott was also her best friend. She has no idea what to do! I love this book so much and it is my favorite book I have read this year.
gfleck3,
You are so obsessed with Harry Potter!
Rstraub2,
That is a really good book!
Out of all the books I read-- I don't really have a favorite. I guess I'll pick Peak because it was okay. The author is Roland Smith. Genre was realistic fiction. I liked that book, kinda.
~Kfundenburg4
Woah bro, you changed my life.
~ebowers4
You have successfully blown my mind to pieces.
My favorite book that I've read this year has to be Among the Enemy by Margret Peterson Haddix. Its genre is mystery. I liked this book the best because it had a lot of unexpected turns, and you could never tell what was going to happen next. It was well written in the fact that every character was unique, the plot was creative, and it wasn't confusing. It was cool to read about how these everyday children were trying to escape these horrific people who thought that children should basically be used as slaves.
T Land, sounds interesting.
T Keatly sounds cool.
I think my favorite book out of this whole year was a book called 13 Reasons Why. This book is by Jay Asher. The genre is realistic fiction. I like this book because it is told from two perspectives. One is from tapes of a once alive person and the other is of a guy she used to go out with. Instead of finding out what happens at the end of the story, you try to find out why the end happened. This is different from all other books. I also like the hidden message in the story about how if you mess with one little part of a person's life, you mess with their whole life.
gfleck3,
I LOVE the Harry Potter series :).
ebowers4,
Good choice! :)
My favorite book I have read this year is 'Wonmidong People' by Yang Gui Ja. It's a fiction. Wonmidong is the name of small village in Korea. It means 'far and beautiful village' and the author described ordinary people's life around us in real. I still can't forget their every day life. It was so impressed. That's why it became my favorite book in year. I wish you could read it too.
gfleck3, I like Harry Potter too. But this one was too violent, I think.
kBroome04, Ruby must have been really lonely. I'm glad she found home at last.
Gfleck3,
I like the movies but the books seem good to.
Kfundenburg4,
That sounds like a good book.
Out of every book I have read this year the best one would have to be A Child Called it. The author was Dave Pelzer but also the main character. This book was not the best book in terms of happy endings it was a good book because it was very discriptive. The genre was nonfiction. This book is about a young boys life and all his hard times growing up. This book showed me that you may think you life sucks at the moment but somebody out there always has it worst.
Out of all the books I've read this year, my favrite is a tie between The Book of Useless Information and BadA**. Their both non-fiction. They both contain actual facts about everything or everyone and present them in a hilarious manner. Most of the facts you'll probably never need to know, but still want to. Also, BadA** is completely historically accurate
@gfleck3
Harry Potters cool
@Tland
I really dislike that book to some extent.(I used fancy words :D)
My favorite book that I read this year was Alfred kropp by Rick Yance. The genre of this book is fantasy because there is a lot of mythical content. the reason i like this book is because all of the action in it, that is also why i would recommend this book for a friend. This book is about an ordinary boy living an ordinary life until i man asked him and his uncle to steal a sword from a major company, this is where Alfred's life changed forever
gfleck3,
those books are so long
kfundenburge4,
Sounds like and interesting book
Out ofall the books I have read this year. My all time favorite has to be glass castle. This book is written by Jeannette Walls. The genre is fiction. The glass castle is about a family struggling for money and moving to many places. In the end everyone became happy, but someone died. The book was worth the time and I recommend it.
gfleck3,
I love harry potter movies, but not a book person.
Kfundenburg4,
That sounds cool.
My favorite book of the year is Dr.Franklin's Island by Ann Halam. It is a scientific fiction and I like it because it is the second Scientific book I like and I am not a fan of scientific books. I like how the main characters Miranda and Semi dont give up they keep trying to escape the island. I also like how it seems like they are going to get away but they dont get away easily. The book is about a group of Planet Savers who,go on a trip to a forest where they are suppose to explore,but end up having a plane crash. The only survivors are Semi,Miranda,and Arnie. All three try to survive on this island until they accidently meet a evil scientist. His name is Franklin and he is the "master of this island", he plans to turn them into animals and become rich from his expriment.
Gfleck3, its cool how you like Harry Potter, but I think they are too magical for me. I know it souds weird but I like little fantasy, too much and it gets confusing.
Kfundenburg4, that sound similar to my book I got for christmas. Instead of the main character dying, he just wants to exprience things before school starts again, after the summer.
My favorite book that I have read this school year is The Cover Up by John Feinstein. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. The book is about two kid sports reporters. One of the kids name's is Stevee and the other is Susan Carol.Now they're about to head to the biggest event of all: the Super Bowl.But just before they go, the network fires Stevie, and hires a dimwitted boy-band singer to work with Susan.Stevie goes anyway, under the auspices of his mentor, a reporter for the Herald, and is immediately picked up to do some reports for CBS as well. Soon he and Susan get wind of a major story: The entire front line of one of the teams has tested positive for banned growth hormone HGH, and the owner is covering it up.
@gfleck
You are obsessed with harry Potter!
@cmazza
That sounds like a really good book.
My favorite book this year was the last olympian. This book was by Rick Riordan and it was fantasy. The book is the last in the series and it was the most epic. It was about a giant war between the demigods and the titans army. The book has all the works action, drama, and suspense definitely a worth while read.
Tland4 wassupp bro book buddies
Ebowers4 thats a super long book
Out of all the books I've read this year, Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites. Its by Heather Brewer. It's about a teenager who is half vampire, half human. He is being hunted down by the vampire council. They were originally looking for his dad because his dad broke the most important vampire rule, don't fall in love with a human. Since Vlad's dad was already killed in a fire Vlad has to take his punnishment, which is death. This book is full of suspense and suprises which is why its my favorite.
Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. The genre is a spy novel. It is about a kid named Alex who finds out that his father was Uncle was a british spy. He must find and kill a man that made and is putting a deadly virus into computers. I thought it had a lot of action in it. It had guns, killing, and some suspense to add on to everything. Over all it was a good book and was writen by a great author.
To gfleck
That's a big book.
To kbroome
Does that book have anything to do with a lock and key?
Out of all the books I have read so far this year, one of them was my favourite book which is the "western Wind", by Paula Fox, and the genre the of the book was fiction. It's about Ellizabeth wanted to spent the summer with her grandmother in Marine. Each day while Gran her baby brother paints, Ellizabeth explores his strange talents. After a month later, she feels close to him and hears her words in a way that she won't forget. The reason why it's my favourite book because it's stange that she has no idea what was about to happen with her or come ...... after her that summer.
gfleck3,
I like your Harry potter's books. The are so difficult compared to other books.
EKeck04,
The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness. I definately need to read this book to know the secrets of being happy :)
My favorite book that I have read this year is Wait Till Helen comes by Mary Downing Hahn. Its genre is mystery. This book is about a family who moves into an old church that was for sale. In the family, there are three kids, Heather, Molly, and Michael. They realize what they have gotten themselves into when Heather starts acting up, being rude and hateful, and trashing everything she can. Where do they go for the answer? A grave yard of course! They find a girl who had died years back that had the same initials as Heather and the girls name was Helen. Helen's death date was Heather’s birth date. Now that's some freaky stuff! Well, throughout the rest of the book, Helen try’s to overpower Heather, kill her, and take her in as her own friend. But you’re going to have to read it to find out more.
@gfleck3,
I love that movie! I would read the book but I'm lazy.
@cmazza,
I showed you that book. Ahh! I'm so proud. I loike that book too!
My favorite book this year was Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book was realistic fiction. In my book a boy in high school finally get the girl of his dream to fall for him. After a party one night some inappropriate pictures end up on the internet of her and he is blamed. He knows he did't do it but no one will believe him not even his own parents. It is my favorite book this year because it is realistic but still very interesting.
gfleck3
The Harry Potter books are too long for me to read.
cmazza3
That sounds like a really interesting story.
The most favorite book ihave read this entire year would be the hunger games series the author suzane collins. The book is a science fiction. I most enjoyed this book because it was very entertaining. Also because i dont read alot of books and this was one i really enjoyed.
gfleck3, sounds like a good book
Kfundenburg4, i would like to try reading that one day
Out of every book I've read this school year my favorite would have to be The First Step 2 Forever: My Story. The author is Justin Bieber. The genre of this book is bibliography. Because Justin Bieber wrote it himself. It was my favorite because first of all he's my favorite singer. Also cause he's talking about his life and how he's just a normal teenage kid.
jblumer3,
I really want to read that book. I've seen the movie and it's really good.
kmedero2,
I've heard about that book. I would love to read it one day.
My favorite book I have read this year is Alfred Kropp, the author is Rick Yancy and the genre is fiction. The book gets very intense after the first chapter. It makes you want to keep reading it and never stop. A lot of stuff goes down and a lot of fighting and killing happens. This book has a lot of details; it has so many details it gives you a mental picture of what is going on. This is the only book I have read from beginning to the end.
gfleck3: I heard that book is really good.
kbrome4: Sounds like a good book.
Tland4,
I've heard those books are very good!
Out of all books that I have read this year, Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I think my favorite book would probably be Schooled by Gordon Korman. It was a good realistic fiction book. This hippie kid named Capricorn Anderson went to a normal school after his Grandma falling out of a tree. He gets made fun of and he is treated terribly. He makes friends and becomes the president at his new school as a joke but he ends up being a good president. He became very popular with all the kids except for one kid named Zach Powers who hate him. It was my favorite book this year because it was funny to read and very interesting to see what adventure Cap had coming his way.
gfleck3,
sounds good
kfundenburg,
Sounds interesting.
Out of all the books I have read this year my favorite one would have to be the Lord of the Rings trilogy book. sure it was long, but it was a good book.Also considering how I had no homework that week, I could read alot. The book was written by J.R.R. Tolkien and its pretty obvious that the genre is fantasy. The book follows the story of a young hobbit named "Frodo Baggins", who is the becomes the bearer of the one ring. when he is told he must go, he is joined by his friend "Sam Wisley" and Frodos 2 cousins "Merry" and "Pipin." along the journey he meets more allies who hate Sauron and his orcs. Including Aragon(A kind ranger , Gandalf(Frodos friend and a wizard), Gimli(A stubborn dwarf), Legolas(A elf prince) and Boromir(A nobleman). later, they are called the Felloship of the Ring and begin their quest(Really, really, really long quest).
I love that book. I also knew that was the genre and I can rub it in my brothers face.
gcoasta3, Good choice.
My favorite book that I read this year was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. By J.K Rawlings. The genre is fantasy.
It was a very exciting book filled with romance and alot of adventure. This book is the end of a series of Harry Potter books. When Harry finally defeates Voldemort in an epic battle.
And he destroyes all Voldemorts horcrux's.
kbroome4,
I really like that author.
sdeemer,
I heard that was a good book.
My favourite of this school was Vladimir Todd:Eighth Grade. The author is Heather Brewer. The genre is relistic fiction and fiction at the same time. The book is basically about a boy named Vladimir and he is a vampire. He is half vampire beacause his mom was human and his dad was a vampire. No vampire has ever been born so Vlad is the first. His father did a crime to marry a human so one day his house burnt down and only vladimir was alive. Then he lived with his Aunt Nelly but then things start to happen and Vlad thinks it beacuse the vampires want revenge for what his father did.
gfleck3
That sounds like a good book.
Kfundenburg4
I have heard of that book. Alot of people say its good.
The best book i read this year was a book called forged by fire.The author is Sharon Draper.The genre of this book is fiction but has some true events.I like this book because if informs the reader about child abuse and hoe to avoid and stop child abuse in a home.It also talks about child endangerment and the consequences for this action
to kfundenburg4
me personally i have a list of things i want to do before i die
ebowers4
i kinda like harry potter but the only one i liked was the very first one
My favorite book that I have read this year was the "The Bully" by Paul Langan. The genre of this book is non-fiction. I liked this book a lot because it was very suspenseful and everytime you turned the page something exciting was happening. The book was very detailed and I could picture almost everything that was wrote down. This is why "The Bully" has been my favorite book.
gfleck3,
The Harry Potter series are very interesting.
Kfundenburg4,
Wow, that is one unique title.
My Favirote book that I read this year was Dear John written by Nicholas Sparks.The Gemre of this book is realistic fiction. The reason it is mny favirote book from this year is because I could really relate to the book. It also had a lot in common with everuything that went on with the book and Savannas life.
tland4
Good Book:)
