The book i am currently reading is The Hunger Games. I just volunteer to be in the hunger games. It was the not my best idea but I had to. Right now they are bringing me on this train to the capital. I hope everything is gonna be alright. Our main industry is coal mining so they had me in this weird fire dress. I hope things go well.

I am on page 96 Wolves of the Beyond:Lone Wolf by Kathryn Lasky. I have not seen Thunderheart since that day in the winter when she was taking her cold sleep. Thunderheart was my mother even though she was a bear and I am a wolf.She rescued me after my true mother left me to die. I believe Thunderheart has gone to the Outermost, a place she has once spoken of.I encountered a mountain lion in the Outermost. After I killed it two wolves came up to me, to challenge me for the kill. I killed one of the wolves and saw the remaining wolf run off with the dead wolf. As the wolf disappeared into the bushes I heard ripping of flesh and swallowing, like the live wolf was eating the dead one.

I am reading Fire by James Peterson. I am on page 30. Will: I'm going going crazy. My sister is on the verge of death, and I've been running with her on my back from the police for hours. I can tell The One is definitively trying to kill me and my sister now. He's put up posters everywhere, luckily some little girl showed me a basement where i could hide with my sister, until she recovers. The family in the basement is starving and I have to go out and find them food and stuff for the holiday. Then I realize I've got magic powers and create whatever i want, so i make a feast.

I am reading Malice by Chris Wooding and I am on page 373. Seth: I can't believe Malice is real! Luke got transported here! He was right, it's real, and now I'm trapped here. I met a guy named Justin and he is a bit stern, but a nice guy. He took me to gather food called swill. It is disgusting but it's the only thing we have to eat around here. I just hope I can survive here...

dreynolds6 said...

The book I just finished is Charlie Joe Jacksons guide to not reading. I just had to write a huge book on how reading sucks. It is so difficult and hard to write about the thing you hate the most.
I better get a good grade for this after all Ive been through. I hope we dont have to do any reading for highschool.

I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 216 out of 496. A man was punishing my friend with a whip. I could to watch, the end of the whip was made of metal, so every time he got hit there was more and more blood. I knew that if I didn't do anything that he could get killed. So I jumped in the way of the whip and all i felt was a pain. It was so intense it felt like someone put a freezing metal pipe on my face, so cold that it would make boiling water cold instantly. Then it started to burn like lava, that is when everything started getting blurry. I could also feel the my whole right side of my face swelling up then I looked up and I saw the my pull the whip back another time and it came towards me and everything went black.

I am currently reading cracker by Cythia Kadohata. I am on 95. It’s kind of hard because the main character is a dog. And I guess he would think “why am I here at a Army camp?” Or “give me a treat!”

I am currently reading The Lord of the Rings. I am on page 126. Hello my name is Frodo and I am currently carrying the most powerful thing to destroy it. It started when Bilbo found the ring. Then he got too attached and left it to me. Now it's my mission to not wear it unless an absolute emergency and carry it to the volcano where it was made and destroy it. At least I have Sam and Gandalf to help me through it.

I’m reading Reached by Ally Condie. I’m page 100. I can’t wait for the Rising to start! To see Ky again and Xander! I wonder if I have taken the red pill...maybe I have. I don’t remember half of last night. Did the rising start yet and I didn’t do anything to help? I only remember going down to the Traders to trade for Ky’s poems and putting them in a safe in the lake.

Im reading scar by Carl Hiaasen. I am currently on page 355. I am almost done. Character journal : I have been waiting and waiting. Hours turned into days and days turned into weeks. No reply from my dad. I start to thinking maybe he is dead or maybe he is hurt. Mom says he is ok. I still think negatively and I know my mind shouldn't be on this situation. I should be focused on the fire case.

This is driving me crazy! Mo got taken days ago and we're just now leaving to find him. Dustfinger finally showed back up and now he is showing Elinor how to get to Capricorn. I can't wait to find Mo and go home but I have a feeling it's going to be more complicated then that.

I am reading Sent by: Margaret Peterson currently on page 100. I just ate the most disgusting food of my life; I wish I could be back at home eating my favorite food. I’m terrified on the inside. I don’t show it as much as I am for my sister’s sake. Sitting here wondering if we’ll ever get to go home keeps racing through my head. Are those men going to come back? Will they kill us? I can’t take this no more I wish I would have never gone to that stupid thing!

EPata2 said...

I am currently reading Elemental by Anthony John and I am on page 23. It was just like all the other days, everyone seemed happy to do their part, well except for me. I disliked their humor for me having no Element. That's what they always end up talking about either way...how I am the only one without the element. Well today wasn't as bad as the others considering the others. Though, I still think that guardians daughter talks way to much instead of doing her job.

EPata2 said...

@mvang05

Great book.

I am reading Runaway Twin by Peg Kehret and I'm on page 21...
I've been to so many foster homes I've lost track. But the two last ones have been by far the worst. My current foster mother, could easily be my favorite. If, of course, it wasnt for the diagusting 'health' foods she gives me. That's why I was out this morning, sneaking off to buy a Twinkie. Although, i never got to eat my favorite snack--i came across a bag. Full of twenty dollar bills. My next plan is to 'try' and find the owner--and if nobody claims, the money's mine, and i'll find my long lost sister, Starr, no matter how long it takes.

@ccummings5 that sounds like a cool book.

@dmcknight2 how descriptive.

I am currently reading The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, and I am on page 24. I volunteered instead of my sister to go and to the hunger games. I never knew what to expect from when I first volunteered. As of right now I am on a train and I just met this boy name Peeta and we are learning all about the dos and don’ts of our adventure waiting for us. But later on we had to go to this place and I was on fire, I wasn’t really excited about that but sometimes you have to go with the flow.
@mvang5 nice we are reading the same book.
@mlennon6 cool!

Dear Diary, This is Tris again. But today, I want to be Beatrice again. I miss my old faction still. I like to wake up in my own room, feeling safe.

Funny how Peter( my sworn rival) and Drew was missing. Well who cares?

Right now, it is cold, I'm sitting in a tree. I'm lonely, and my partner died. Everything has gone down hill right about now. The good thing is, Peeta and I could both walk home being alive. This is the time, I go search. Let me just untie myself from this tree...

I am reading Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli and I am on page 13. Main character: Leo.
Finally, I saw the new girl for the first time during lunch and almost everyone stared at her. She seemed like the typical new kid at school and I wanted to make Kevin interview her. After a few minutes, she took her ukulele and started to sing, which surprised everyone. I thought she must be bold and have a ton of courage to sing where the whole tenth grade could hear you.
