I'm currently reading The Last Song, by my favorite author Nicholas Sparks. It is a realistic fiction and the main character is a teenage girl named Ronnie. The book is great so far but kind of slow moving, but I'm not that far into it so it'll get better.
I am currently reading the book Perfect in the Pretty Little Lairs series. It is an amazing book I am on the last chapter and I can not explain how hard it is to put the book down. The main charecters are 4 girls named Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily. In the other books it explains all about 'A'. 'A' is a mysterous figure that keeps poping up into the girls lifes. I am in love with the book I will finish it tonight and then I will get the next book Wicked!

Jdewitt6, I have also read that book. It's amazing , also towards the mid-end it gets very interesting.
I am currently reading Kim chi and calamari by Rose Kent. It is a realistic fiction book and so far I'm not in to it as much as I would like to. This book is about an eighth grader, Joseph, and he was originally from Korea but was adopted from an Italian family. He now has been given an assignment about his ancestry on his birthday and has no idea what to write at all.
Jdiehl6, Pretty little Liars sounds like a great book. I watch the TV show and it's addicting!
lbagley6... I think that book would be very interesting! I might read it next. I have nothing to read after this, so I will be looking for a good book, and I like romance novels.

I am reading The Sorta Sisters by Adrian Fogelin. This book is Realistic Fiction. The main characters are Mica and Anna (two good friends that have never met before). I absolutely LOVE this book!!! Thanks to Yoona Cho who actually recommended the book for me. It looks boring on the cover, but it actually makes you want to read and read and read!!!
jdiehl6
That sounds like a good book Julie!! But I can't believe you're not reading a Justin Bieber book!!!
snadon6
That's okay if you're not enjoying it now! Just keep reading! It will probably get exciting!
I am reading The Last Song by Nichoas Sparks. It is realistic fiction. The main character is a gir named Ronnie. I like the book so far. It is very interesting what she thinks about her parents and where she is at in the summer. She has met new people but i really don't think she is in the right type of crowd, but we will see. I'm not that far in.
lbagley
It sounds a bit weird but I think it sounds like a good book. But I would like to know the author.
amanibusan6
Your book sounds good, I just think that it is really weird that two people are bestfriends but have not ever. I dont think that i could be such good friends with some one like that without meeting. I think I might want to read that book when I am done with the one i just started reading.
I am reading Flipped by Wendalin Van Draanen. It is realistic fiction. The book is about a boy named Bryce Loski and his neighbor Juli Baker. Juli has had a crush on Bryce since he moved across the street in the secong grade, and he has tried to avoid her since then. I really like the book so far!
nmongo2, is that one of the books before or after Hidden? It's the same author and I really liked those books!
jdiehl6 Pretty Little Liars sounds like a really good book i like the show so i would love to read the books.

lrichey6 to add on to my description my book is The Woods by Harlan Coben the main character is Paul Copeland and his sister was murdered 20 years ago and he is now he just found out that someone that went missing and supposedly murdered 20 years ago was just recently murdered and now he is thinking that his sister might be alive. Paul is the county prosecutor and he has just had his wife die of cancer and now he is raising his 6 year old daughter by himself besides his sister-in-law who also has a 6 year old daughter but they are trying to figure out what happened to his sister 20 years ago!
@Spenda6
What does she think of her parents? Also, what is the book about and isn't it a movie or is it a lot different from the movie?
I am reading The Yearling. It was written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. The main character is Jody. The genre is realistic fiction. I am enjoying the book so far as it is very interesting. At the moment Jody and his father are getting ready to hunt for a large bear.
I'm currently reading a book called Lunch Money by Andrew Clements. My book is realistic fiction and the main character is Greg, a incoming 6th grader at a middle school, who loves money and making it anyway he can. I love the book so far, but I think I'm going to look for a new one because I already read this one a couple of years ago and it seems a bit easy!
jdewitt6, I think I'm going to look for a book like yours. A cute romantic one :) The movie was adorable, so I'm sure the book is just as good, if not better!
ejones6, I love sports books and I like that you're the only one so far to go with a book like that. Another book of Mike Lupica's I read called Heat was really good and ended with a great twist!
nmongo2... Thank you. It is a very addicting show! The book is a lot better than the show. It helps if you watch the show before you read it because then you can imagine what they look like and its make reading easier!!!
amanibusan6.... Really you know I already read it! ...DUH?! haha. I can't belive it etheir. Your book also sounds amazing!! She recomends good books!
lrichey6... It is a great book! Love it! It tells you more info then the movie and it tells you everything about Hanna and then about how Aria moved from Europe back to Rosewood just a little bit before Ali's funeral.
jdiehl6, I love pretty little liars! Do you prefer the book or the show?
spena6: I'm reading that book too! Do you like it so far? I love it!
I am currently reading the book Fliped, by Wendelin Van Draanen. The genre for this book is realistic fiction and the main character(s) for this book are Bryce and Julianna. The reason this book has two main characters is because the book is from two main point of views, that flip back and forth. This is an interesting book and it's alot better than I expected. I actually finished the book because I couldn't put it down.
@ jdewitt6
i loved that book! It was really cute but in my opinion I liked the movie better.
@ jdiehl6
I love those books and the shows! Who's your favorite character?
I'm currently reading Forged By Fire, by my new favorite author Sharon M. Draper. It is realistic fiction and the main chararcter is a young boy named Gerald.

I’m hoping that this book is a good one.

jdiehl6, I almost read that book, but I decided it was too big.:)Is it good?
jdewitt6... It is really hard to choose but I would say book because, it gives you more information. It is easier for me to understand. But it is probabley diffrent for diffrent people!(:
astephens5... I tink my favorite charecter would have to be a tie between Lucy Hale or Aria and Hanna or Ashley B. I like them because they are both really fashionable and I can imagine Hannas life but not Arias lol!

I am currently reading Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper. It is realistic fiction and the main character is B.J. Carson. I'm enjoying this book because it seems so real and the author wrote the book in such a way it makes you feel like your actually their. In the first couple of pages you find out that a group of friends play for their high school basketball team and after a game they start drinking as a celebration. Then they started driving home and ran off the road and hit the railing. After three of them managed to make it of the car it burst into flames and that when the realized Rob was still inside.

I am currently reading Peeled by Joan Bauer. It is a realistic fiction. The main character of my book is Hildy Biddle. This book so far is very interesting. I haven't gotten very far into the book yet, but from what I have read it has perked my interest. The part that I stopped at was where Hildy was about to take on a a story about a haunted house that recently had a break in.
Slaw5, I really want to read that book after I finish my book, the topic seems interesting to me. Tell me how you like it when you finish it!
ebayer6, wouldn't the people going back in time make it like science fiction or something? Since that would use futuristic technology?
I’m reading Jason's Gold, Written by Will Hobbs. The genre is realistic fiction/adventure. Jason is the main character so far in my book but it sounds like his brothers are about to come into play with the main characters. So far it seems like a good book but i'm only in the exposition so it may get better along the way.
@KHaldeman6 wow it sounds like a great book. You had a nice and clean explanation of the book good job and i hope you enjoy reading that book.

I am currently reading A Time To Kill, by John Grisham. It is a realistic fiction book. The main character is a man named Jake Brigance. It is a pretty good book so far. Its not something i would normally read, but you said that we had to read a realistic fiction book.

@pmoreau2, why is it a book you would not normally read?
The book I am currently reading is Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. This book is realistic fiction and is about the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood who had a crazy addiction to shopping. So far, this book is really good. It is comical, entertaining and has a good plot to it. The only thing kind of strange about it is it's so different from the movie it almost is kind of distracting beacuse when I'm reading i just keep thinking about how differently it was done in the movie.
jdiehl6,
I totally agree those books are really good. Everyone kept talking about how good they were so I finally decided to try them. When I started reading it I couldn't put it down either.
ahowell5,

lbagley6, your books seens very interesting. I think I would that book.
The book I'm currently reading is titled Where She Went, it was written by Gayle Forman, and I chose to read it because it's set in New York and it's the sequel to If I stay. The genre of the book is realistic fiction, I'm reading it for our first mini project this nine weeks. The main character would be Adam Wilde, a confused musician who doesn't know what he's going to do with his life. He wants to quit his band, and they're getting pretty popular, but he does not love it like he used to. This book is magnificent, I can't put it down, and I've only around forty pages left. Right now, I’m on page two hundred fourteen out of two hundred and sixty.
I am reading Diary of a wimpy kid Rodrick rules:by Jeff Kinney. I think the genre is adventure. The main character is Greg. Yes i'm enjoying the book.

@awashington2
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick rules is a realistic fiction cause it could happen there are no parts of adventure and I know this cause I read all the books.
I am reading Summer Ball by Mike Lupica. The genre of this book is realistic fiction.

Sbogue2 your book sounds interesting and i think i might read it someday.
I'm currently reading the 9th book in the 'Pretty Little Liars' series, and it's called Twisted, by Sara Sheppard. It's realistic fiction with a bit of mystery, and just like the 8 other books, it's about Aria, Hanna, Emily and Spencer trying to put together what happened to their friend Alison, who was actually Courtney. I really like the book! It's kind of boring, but I'm only in the middle of the 3rd chapter, so I'm positive it'll get more interesting. :)
jdewitt6,
I love that book! I've read it 4 times, haha. It gets alot better, I promise! It's also really different from the movie, so I personally like the book better!
I am currently reading Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo. This genre is nonfiction because it is a true story that really happened to a litlle boy. The main character is Colton Burpo. He was the little boy who 'went to heaven' and came back. I am really enjoying this book and I am almost done with it.

I have read 277 pages of this book, and so far I am enjoying it.
crichardson2;
I've read Twilight a few times, fantasy is my favorite genre. I love all of the stuff that would never actually happen.
jdiehl6;
I think I've read that book, but most of the books in that series are great anyway.
I am currently reading Halo: The Flood, written by William C. Dietz. The genre of my book is science fiction. For those that are familiar with Halo, Master Chief John 117 is considered the main character. He is the last of the Spartan II super soldiers and one of humanities last hopes in fighting the alien alliance known as the Covenant. There are other influencing character's such as Cortana, a human AI construct, and 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of Installation 04. The Halo series is one of my most favorite books to read and this one particularly because it pertains to when "Halo" was first conceived.
@jdewitt6 i looovve that book ;) hope you enjoy it
@snetherland5,
Although this might not be a book I would personally choose, it sounds like a book my older sister could relate to since she seems to be a shopaholic too.:)

I may decide to read this one for my realistic fiction choice.
The book I am currently reading is 'Ride the Wind' by Lucia St. Clair Robson. The genre is realistic fiction, or Historical Fiction.

The title of my book is "The Boy Who Dared" by Susan Campell Bartoletti. The main character is
