I am currently finished with New Moon by Stephenie Myer. The main character's name is Bella Swan. If Bella were on a social media website, she would like a picture of a werewolf because of her friend Jacob. Bella would also like a picture of Edward because she is dating one. She would also like a picture of forks because she loves it there.

I’m reading Life of Pi by Yann Martell. I’m on page 78. The main character is Pi Patel. He is a very smart religiously curious boy around 14 years old. I think Pi might like a picture of God or a group for God. He’s very interested and fascinated in God and religion. He might also like a picture of animals cause he grew up on a zoo.

The book I am reading is Daniel X, by James Patterson, I am finished with the book. My main character is a alien hunter who lost his parents brutally at the age of three. He had to fight on his way to defeat the alien that killed his parents. If my character was on a social media website, he would "like" Alien vs. Predator the movie, Halo Reach (due to the killing of aliens), and Alien Hunting (a hobby).

@kcarnes5

That is a great movie, I've been looking for the book for a while.

@jphan2

New Moon, isn't that in a series?

I just finished Witch and Wizard by James Patterson on page DONE. One of the main characters is Whit.One thing he'll be on Facebook is a football team since he's a athelite. Second he'll be on is a car brand like Chevy or Porche because he's in love with cars. and lastly he can be Willie Wonka because he's a HUGE jukie for junk food like candy and chips.

cwalker5 said...

I am reading "Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life", and i'm only on page 5. But i already know that the main characte in the book is Rafe Khatchadorian(I dont know how to say his last name). He is a sixth grader, who dosen't trust almost anyone, except his mom, Jules. The book is mostly about how he gets thought school on a daily bases. O, he trust one more person, his friend Leonardo, or Leo.

Now, if Rafe had a "Facebook", he would most likely "Like", drawing, hyperboles, and sodas.

Well, he would like drawing because, most of the book is drawings of events in the story or description of teachers. Like Ms. Ruthless Donatello --> Dragon Lady.

He would like hyperboles because, well at the beginning he draw himself as a "Cool, well dress and styled 6 grader". When in reality he was a "Wimpy Kid".

Finally, he would like soda because, on the front inside cover he said he gose into the soda business. And went bust. So he probably like sodas alot.

cwalker5 said...

@ lcummings2, you didn't captial any word at the beginning of your sentences.

@anorwood, Poseidon is the god of the "SEA".

The book that I am currently reading is Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. The page I am on is 481, the main character of my book, is a girl named Bella Swan. If Bella had a Facebook page the 3 things I think that she would like is, things about vampires, werewolf’s, and nice vacation spots. I picked these because one Bella is dating a vampire and so I would think that she would like things about vampires, I picked the werewolf us because her best friend is a werewolf. I pick the last one because she likes going one vacations a lot.

smwilliams2 said...

The book I am reading is called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and I am on page 390. If Bella had a Facebook she would “like” Werewolves, vampires, and vacations. The reason she would like werewolves is because her best friend is a werewolf. She would like vampires because her boyfriend is a vampire. She goes on a lot of vacations so that is why she would like vacations.

asanatcroce2
we are reading the same book!

sfreer2
I want to read that too!

arockett2 said...

The book I am currently reading is “Kira Kira” by, “Cynthia Kadohata.” And I am currently am on page 14. The main character is this book is a Japanese-American girl name Katie. If my main character had a Facebook three things she would probably like is organizations called “Help the Children”, reading, and sibling awareness day. I said help the children her sister Lynn caught a disease and she would like that to support her sister. Reading is because Katie is always reading everything she can find from books to magazines even dictionaries just for fun. And finally sibling awareness day because she always loved having her sister around and playing with her because Katie didn’t really have friends so all she had was her sister. );
@smwilliams2: good job!
@sfreer2: nice!

Asdavis2 said...

My character, David King, is a young 12 year old boy who is very formal but has a good sense of humor. If he had a facebook, he would like the page "Books" because he loves reading. He would like a "Horror" Page because horror is his favorite genre. Finally, he would like a "Gun Ban" Page because he is terrified and hates guns. I am on page 53 and my book is "Watcher In The Woods" By Robert Liparulo.

@Jphan2 That is interesting.
@smwilliams2 Nice, twilight.

Nhutto2 said...

I am reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I am currently on page 163. The main character in my book is a boy named Roy Eberhardt. He moved to Florida from Montana and is relatively fond of wildlife. I believe that is he had a Facebook account, one thing he would "like" would be a page about birds. He is interested in birds and is now helping to save them thanks to his new friend known as Mullet Fingers. The second thing Roy would "like" would be a page about mountains. He grew up in Montana and loved the mountains there. Finally, the last page Roy would "like" would be a page about saving wildlife because that is something he found a new passion in and he is interested in saving it with his new friends

IRivera2 said...

I'm currently reading Revenge of the Wannabes by Lisi Harrison. I'm on page 96. My main character is a mean girl, always caught up with the fashion, and practically rules the school. If she had a profile on Facebook she would like Dior, Prada, Mean Girls, Pink, Fashion Week, and anything to do with fashion. She would like all of this because that’s what her whole life about.

Lmiller2 said...

I am currently reading Vietnam book four casualties of war. I am on page 99.

The book I am reading is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and I'm on page 329 . The main character's name is Ethan . If he were to have a Facebook page I think he would like , anything to do with poetry , basketball , and shoes . Ethan reads a lot of poetry , nobody knows but he has poetry books hidden under his bead . Ethan is the best player on his school basketball team , he makes almost every shot he takes . Lasly I belive he should like a shoe related page because he has so many pairs stacked up in his room .

@arockett2 : good blog

human5 said...

My book is Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. I am on page 50. The author is Rick Riordan. Percy is a young boy whi just found out the he is a half blood, this means one of his parents and a god in this case it is his father Posiden. Percy would "like" olympus, Percy Jackson and the lightning thief the movie, and

bsammel5 said...

I have finished reading Eldest by Christopher Paolini. The main character is Eragon. If he would have an account on a social media site, Eragon would like dragons, Du Weldenvarden, and The Varden. He would like dragons because he is a Dragon Rider and has a dragon, Saphira. He would like Du Weldenvarden because that is where he was taught by Oromis on how to use magic. Eragon would also like The Varden because that is the main force trying to bring down Galbatorix, the evil king who is keeping the last few dragons and is killing many people.

NSmith5 said...

I am done reading Marley and Me by John Grogan, and decided to do the blog on it. So, if Marley (Yes, the dog) had a Facebook, I believe that he would probably like some doggy things. He would probably like pages such as "Milk-Bones", "Chew Toy of the Month", and "Cars; How to chase them."

@asdavis2 I read that book
@ahutto5 Isnt there a movie coming out soon for that?

ssuskin5 said...

I am reading Everlost by Neal Shusterman, page 13. One of my main characters anem is Allie. If Allie were on social media she would probably "like" is shopping because before she died she was talking about how amazing her outfit was for the wedding. She would also like Toyota because that was the car she was in before she died. Allie would also like her home because now she is dead and lives in the woods with a strange ginger and a boy that smells like choclate.

ssuskin5 said...

@NSmith
I never read that book i heard it was sad.

@ahutto5
I am waiting to see that movie it looks epic.

kcarnes5 said...

Human5 – I think that your blog was very…well I have mixed emotions really. First of all how did this “God” make a baby with a mortal? I also don’t understand how his mom could keep such a secret from him. Also what type of dad could live knowing your son doesn’t know he’s your son? I guess that’s just life really. What is life though? I guess we don’t know what life is until we don’t have it. Ironic really don’t you think? Well anyways so if Percy is a “thief” then it’s not his fault it’s his dads fault for not being there. Now Percy is going to have a bad record all his life! How does he expect to get into a good college? There’s no way he can get into any good medical school with a record of theft. It’s a sad one really. The great deception of life. A rainbow began with a storm though. I have learned a lot from your blog Hayden thank you.

gparent5 said...

kcarnes5...








That is very detailed and...... special. How do you know he wants to go to medical school? Also Percy isnt really a theif hes returning the lightning bolt back to zues from them guy who stole it. What does a rainbow have to do with anything i see where the storm came form since it has to do with lightning but not the rainbow?.?. I hope you learned something because you had a lot of..... special questions......

kcarnes5 said...

gparent5








what does a rainbow have to do with a storm you ask? well what happens after a storm and before a rainbow my naive friend

gparent5 said...

I am currently reading Marley and Me by John Gorgan I am on page seventy fife. My main character ,Marley, is a yellow Labrador. Although he is light hearted he is also very rambunctious and destructive. Is Marley where to have a Facebook he might like things and not even know it, after all it is hard to control a mouse with your paws. If he were to deliberately like a post he might like a comment like”that was a great game of fetch” or maybe even “I wish I had some food right now” or better yet “ let me destroy the house today.”

gparent5 said...

kcarnes5.....




true.

aisom6 said...

im reading a book called poison princess by kresley cole. i am currently on page 130. if the main charter elie was on a social media site such as facebook, she would like what everyone else likes. since she has had a rough past , she dosent want anyoine to know about it. so to keep her image up she is the most popular person in her highschool. since everyone is in to something she loves it more than anyone even if she dosent like it truely

llambert6 said...

I am reading Inkspell by Cornelia Funke. The page I'm currently on is page 215. The main character's name is Meggie and she loves to read all sorts of books. Is Meggie were to be on facebook, I think she would like pages involving books, fanpages, and fantasy type pages. If she were to like a hobby page, it would be no doubt a page titled "reading." Meggie would like them all because she is open to all genres of stories, fables, and books.

llambert6 said...

@aisom6
Your book sounds very cool.

llambert6 said...

@gparent5
I love the movie! Great pick!

mlennon6 said...

I am reading The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks and i'm on page 180. My main character is Denise Holton and she's like 30 and all she really does is take care of her kid and go to work. One of the things i think she would "like" is those really cheesy pages about how much a mother loves her children and stuff because she loves her son alot. Also a page about firefighers because she thinks fighfighters are hot. (She doesnt really have a life.) But maybe she'd like a page about autism-awareness because her son is in the middle of being diagnosed.

@gparent5 I love that movie.
@aisom6 Princesses are cool.

tdaigle6 said...

I am currently reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I am also on page 204. The main character is Roy and he is running from Dana, (the school bully) and trying to keep Beatrice's brother a secret from everyone. If Roy were to be on Facebook, he would like pages such as things about the law, owls, and fan pages. If he were to be on a hobby site, it would absolutely be labeled "mullet fingers." He would like them all because he is always looking to try new things.
@llambert6 sounds pretty cool.
@aisom6 sounds pretty logistic.

wperkins6 said...

I just started the book Ruined by Paula Morris. The main character, Rebecca, is someone who just moved from New York to New Orleans. Rebecca's dad is on a business trip to China and she has to stay with her Aunt. Rebecca has an outgoing and fashionable. If Rebecca was on a social website she would like what not to wear, which is a television show, because she likes fashion. She would like something that has to do with New York like a picture or a group that has to do with New York. Lastly she would like pictures of old houses because she likes ancient artifacts.

gmontgomery2 said...

I am reading Backyard Dragon by Betsy Sterman. I finished the book not to long ago. The main character goes by the name of Owen and he comes upon a real dragon. If Owen was on social media website such as Facebook, he'll like things like Dragons, Fairy tales and Myths, and Magical Creatures. The reason why is because it seems like he is really into that that type of stuff and he really enjoys spending time with that dragon.

aazoca6 said...

I just finished reading Chomp. The author is Carl Hiaasen. if my character were on facebook one thing he would like would be a survival show like man vs. wild because he has his own survival show too. another thing would be animals because he gets to work with all these animals on the show that he has fun with. Lastly he would like his own show because he is the star of the show.

aazoca6 said...

jjones6 said...

My book is Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins. I am page 36 out of 390. The main character is Katniss Everdeen. Her favorite thing to do is hunt. She also likes to care for others like her sister. If she were to like something on Facebook, it would be something about hunting, caring, or birds.

awilson06 said...

I'm reading Out of My mind by Sharon Draper. I am on page 10. The main character is Melody. She is a 11 year old girl with dark short curly hair. I think she would like a picture of someone with dimples because she admires her dimples. I also think Melody would like a picture of a brain because she has photographic memory and remembers everything. Lastly I think melody would like a picture of a baby because she is always talking about her childhood and good memories when she was a baby.

awilson06 said...

@Kcarnes5 I love the movie I wonder if the book is similar to it.

Twithers5 said...

I am currently reading the book Lost in a river of grass by Ginny Rorby I am on page 40. The main character of my book is Sarah.

Lastly she would like pictures of boys because she like boys and wants a boyfriend.

mruvio6 said...

I’m reading The Doll in the Garden by: Mary Downing Hahn on page 5. The main character in my book is named Ashley. She is a ten year old girl with freckles that just moved in an apartment over a mean old lady. If she were to like anything on Facebook it would probably be cat related. She has a cat named Oscar and really enjoys spending time with him so that’s why I think she would like things about cats.

EPata2 said...

I am currently reading the book Morpheus Road by D.J Machle and I am on page 239. My character would like things that involve friends and art. He would like things about friends because he really has no on left to rely on because of the tragedies that occur in the story. But he likes art because that is one of his hobbies and it is also the place he can freely express himself. One extra he might like are scary things because in his art, he portrays scary things.

EPata2 said...

jlexley6 said...

The book I am reading is Playing with Fire by Derek Landy. The main character is Valkyrie Cain. If she was on a social website she would most likely like magic (since she does magic. She would also like family (as she would do anything for hers and they don't know about magic). Also being a detective (considering she is one with her partner Skulduggery Pleasant).

ccummings5 said...

The book I'm reading is 90 Miles to Havanna by Enrique Flores-Galbis. I'm on page 49. The main character in my book is Julian. If Julian were on a social media site he might "like" fishing because he goes fishing with his dad. He also might "like" family because he cares about his family a lot and doesn't want to have to be split with them. Lastly, he might "like" engines because he can see where things happen inside of the engine and he knows how they work.

ccummings5 said...

@nhutto2

kcarnes5

I've been wanting to read that.

yalvarez6 said...

Im reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am currently on page20. If my main character Katniss could have her own facebook page I think she would like things like the bow and arrow page, Hunting page, and the Peeta Mellark fan page. I think that Katniss would love the bow and arrow page because she could see different arrows and that’s a skill she used for the Hunger Games. I know that she would like the hunting page because she could see what other people are catching and learn to catch new game. And she would like the Peeta Mellark fan page because she would love to see what the district fans would say about him.

dsmith5 said...

I'm reading Pinned by Sharon Flake and I'm on page 85. The main character Autumn would probably like cooking because she cooks all the time and wantes to own a resteraunt. She might also like wrestling because she's the only girl on the wrestling team at her school.She might also like going to the movies because she does that a lot with her best friend Peaches. There is another main character named Adonis and he's in a wheelchair he probabl would like Reading because he volunteers in the library twice a week. He might also like studying because he has all A's and has all AP classes in the eighth grade. He might also like tutoring because he tutors disabled kids every Monday.

I am reading I am a Seal Team Six Warrior by Howard E Wadsin and Stephen Templin. Im an currently on page 23. If he were to have a Facebook he would like things like the navy seals, the army, and the gun rights. He would like this because he is in the Seals. He also uses guns, obviously being in the Seals. He'd like the army because that's were he started.

jphan2 I don't like those books.

kcarnes I think you spelled pie wrong.

ssorgi5 said...

I am reading Travel Team by Mike Lupica. I am on page 12. If Danny Walker had a facebook he would like basketball. Danny's dad played in the NBA and he plays basketball as his sport now. He would probably like "bieng short" because Danny is usually the smallest on the court. He would also like his favorite player Lebron James.

ssorgi5 said...

@nhamilton2 That sounds like a cool book

@Yalverez6 I can not wait until the movie comes out.

nluna6 said...

I am currently reading Hit The Road by Caroline B. Cooney and I am on page 11. The main character in my book is Brit and if she had an Instagram account she would like a picture of a nice pink car. Because she is girly and she is happy to have her new drivers license. I think she would also like a picture of a nice sunset out on the end of a road because she likes to watch sunsets and she also like taking road trips. Brit would lastly like a picture of a phone because she loves her phone , she feels that it is her baby.

nlun6 said...

@jphan2

@kcarnes5
