I am currently reading les miserable by van hugo. I am on page 180. I read this book because after I saw the movie and the play it looked interesting. My book also is a very hard book to read so I also choose it because I wanted a challenge. I will most likely do a collage. Because there are so many different symbols and characters it will be a great mix up on my collage.
I am currently reading the power of six by Pittacus Lore i am currently on page 281. I choose to read this book because it is awesome book and i think that everyone who is looking for a book to read should read books by the author of my book.
gparent5
cool i would like a challenge to so ill try to look at the book
I am reading the lord of the rings by J.J.R Tolkien i am on page 83. i Chose this book because i had seen the lord of rings movies as well as the hobbit. So i figured the next best thing is the book. Not to mention i love anything to do with the lord of the rings and the author jjr is a great writer. The mini project i choose would be the collage because i haven't done it yet and it seems like a good one to do.
gparent5 my mom is currently reading that and it does seem a little more serious and not something i would like but a good choice way to push yourself.
austin norwood6 remember the blog must be at least 5 sentnces not under but still way to do it
I'm reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I am currently on page 57. I chose to read this book because I've been planning on reading it after I had finished some other series I read. Also, I avoided seeing the movie when it came out a few years ago because I wanted to read the book first. The mini project I'm planning on doing is the collage again.
@dblair6
I'm actually going to read that after I finish the Inkheart series.
@gparent5
The movie was supposed to be really good so I bet the book is even better!
I am currently reading HArry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I am on page 92... I am reading this book because i have read the 1,2,and 4th in the series. also since i have seen the movie, i am wondering if the book or movie is better. The best reason is .... cause i did not want to read any larger of the book over 400 pages...
anorwood6
May want to add some more sentences,no?

Great blog and nice description!
I am currently reading Vietnam book one I Pledge allegiance by Chris Lynch. I am on page 56. I chose to read this book because I have read one of the other books “book 3.” And wanted to find out what happened in book 1 and 2. Also because I like to read war books because they are the really the only books that can keep me entertained.
The name of my book is SCAT by Carl Haasian, the pg. number I am on is 62. The reason I picked this book is because by brother read it and he said it was a good book, so I wanted to try it out. The other reason is because I see a lot of people reading it so; I just started to read it. I think, for the mini project I’m going to do another collage. That’s what I am going to do for my book.
dblair6 good job
gparent5 you could have done better -.-
Lmiller2
cool book.
llambert6
that sounds cool.
I am reading Malice by Chris Wooding and I am on page 267. I chose to read this book for this nine weeks because it has been recommended to me by numerous peers and I wanted to check it out. I have also read some good reviews and I enjoy the suspense and mystery genres, which is what Malice is. I am planning to do either Symbols in a Bag or Collage because I believe both would make it easy to show what my book is about and symbolize the plot devices. Now that I have almost finished the book, it is safe to say that I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book with grinding suspense, ironic plot twists, and a good mystery.
I am reading the book "Travel Team" By Mike Lupica and i am on page 31. I am not that far into the book but what i have read so far is amazing and heart touching. The main character Danny Walker is a small kid, an abnormally small child. He loves the game though, he has to use all of his strength to shoot the ball which is kind of sad, but he doesnt care.
I will probably do the Collage for this Mini project.
@Lmiller2,
That is a good book.
@Nhutto2 nice blog.
@LMiller2 i love that book!
@Adavis2,
Good post.
I am reading "Murder on Orient Express" by Agatha Christie. I am currently on page 64. I chose to read this book because the summary interested me. I also had not read a mystery book for a while. I am probably going to do a wanted poster because the murderer will probably escape and become wanted.

i am currently reading my name is mina by david almond. i choose this book because it looked like a good read, and i simply have not read it yet. i am on page 81.
The title of the book I am reading is The Clique by Lisi Harrison and I am currently on page 57. The reason I chose this book is because I wanted a fun and easy book to read. It also helps that it is only 152 pages. So far the book is keeping my interest because it is about a girl who loves a boy band and wants to star in their new music video. I would want to do this for my own favorite band The Wanted.

I am currently reading "TEBOW TIME" by Jesse Hines and I'm on page 124. I'm reading this book because Tim Tebow is my favorite athlete. He has inspirational quotes that makes you want to hang them on your wall so you can read them everyday to remind you. Not to mention it has his PROMISE speech that he made the year they won the National Championship. The mini project i would do is the collage because it seems easy to do with this book.
@asantacroce2
I had to read that in 5th grade... I hated it but it was ok
@ADavis2
Mike Lupica is an awesome author!!! I love his book the million dollar throw.
The book I am reading is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I am on page 133. I chose this book because the summary on the back of the book and the quote “You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret…is to press play.” caught my attention. When I read the book I can visualize all the scenes in my head. Therefore I choose to do a collage.
@gparent5
good job
@smwilliams2
great post
I am currently reading Everlost by Neal Shusterman and I am currently on page 30. I switched between many book during this nine weeks because I couldn't find one with a topic that interested me. When I finally got to Everlost I read a few of the pages before I checked out. The part I'm on right now is great because you really have to read it to understand what there trying to show. The mini project I am going to select is probably going to be Book Leads.
@dblair6
Great book mayor.
@ Lmiller2
Nice book luke.

good book~!
I choose to read the book The Hunger Games because I never read this book before and I thought it would be a good idea to read this book because everyone think it’s a great book. The mini project I decide to choose on was the college. I choose this one because I think it would be the easiest one to score the highest point as possible! I also don’t like to present in front of people so that’s another reason. The author of this book is Suzanne Collins.
tnichola6
i think that book sounds great.
I am reading the book Lost in the River of Grass wrtitten by Ginny Rorby. I am currently on page 115. I choose this book because it was reccomended by a friend. Another reason why I choose this book is because on the back of the book the summary of the book looked interesting. I am doing the mini project collage. I am doing this one because it is the easiest.
tnichola6 Sounds like a good story.

My book is Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 203 out of 497. The reason I chose this book was because I already read the first one and I thought it would be a good idea to read the second one. I also chose it because of the action and suspense that goes on in the book. That is why I chose Catching Fire.
@gparent5 really good post

The book I am reading is Scarlet. I am on page 127. I chose to read this book because it looked interesting. I read the first book of the series also which was about another person. For my mini project I will most likely do a collage. It would be fun to know what everyone looks like and I think it would be an awesome mix up.
gparent5
I love challanges, maybe I should read this book.
dblair6
I have seen the movies as well, but only read the book The Hobbit. I am hoping to get the rest of the series soon.
I am reading in a heartbeat by Loretta ellsworth. and I am on page 50. I choose this book because it the mystery and spontaneous genre that I like in a book. for my book I choose to do the collage project. because there's two different stories being told so I think adding elements from both stories on a poster would be the best way to go.
gparent5
I am going to do a collage too.

twithers5

I am reading Sent by: Margret Peterson currently on page 62. I chose to read this book because I had read the first one and loved it so I decided to read the second book. Its a great book and I'm glad I started reading it. For my mini project I'm most likely going to do collage. There's a lot of good symbols that would be able to represent my book for that project.
nhamilton2 You could have been a little more descriptive about why you choose your book.
grenfroe6 good job!
I am reading the black stallion. Its by Walter Farley. I am on page 120. I chose to read this book because it is easy to read. I plan to do a collage on it.

That sounds like a good book
I am reading Matched by Ally Condie. I am on page ____. One of my friends told me to read this book and that it was really good. The mini project I'm doing is most likely a collage. A collage seems to make the most sense because there is many different things that are easy to be adapted into pictures.

I also like mystery books. One year, I devoted the whole year to only mysteries.
gparent5
I say that movie! I hated it.
I am reading harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban. I am on page 142. The author makes the main character, harry beleieveable by giving him real life troubles. Some like having trouble with his parents or his brother, everyone has trouble witrh them time to time. Thats about as real as the main character can get....
austin norwood6
Nice reason to read it!!!
