I'm reading "The Thing About Luck" by Cynthia Kadohata, and I'm on page 27. I think my friend Annie should read this book. This book is very uplifting and is happy. I think Annie would like this kind of book.She likes books with positive messages which is why I think she would like this book.
My book, the Thirteenth Reality, by James Dashner, (page of 506), is a book I would recommend to my friend Ian because he likes sci-fi fantasy books/movies/tv shows/etc., and this book is all about that. In fact, this book could actually be, in some weird way, nonfiction, since the book is actually about quantum physics and the multiverse. It’s what I love about books like this, since it means that there is actually a slim possibility that it is real, it’s really fun to read the book and try to put the world into perspective, or think and act like you would if it was all real (because, like I said, it actually could be). Also, I tend to notice things relating to the book in the real world after reading said book that seem to back up the “this is all real” theory, and that’s always interesting. Ian, if you ever read this, check out the book, I actually think you might take an interest in it.
oops I forgot I'm on page 418/506
@Jlett6: nice job! It could have been a little longer though…
I am reading The Red Pyramid written by Rick Riordan, and I am on page 323. I think my friend Ryan would like this book because it is an action, adventure, and fantasy, and he likes those types of books.
Sphillips4 awesome post! keep it up!
Jlett6 good job!
I'm reading 100 Cupboard's by N.D> Wilson and I am on page 26. I think Tamora would like this book. She loves books that combine real life with fantasy. it has a boy that becomes a hero and that is some of the most exiting book. This makes the book seem more real and makes the main character seem more human and less superhero like. "It makes hero's grounded in the every day." I think every one would like this book.
Good job Sphillips4.
Good response Jlett6.
@qnuttal6: great job, I’ve heard of that book (I might even own it), and I hope to read it sometime. Great work!
I am currently reading a book called " Jessica Draling's IT LIST" BY Megan Mccafferty. I am in chapter 6 and on page 31. I would recommend this book for my friend Armone because my book is about this girl who has this list of what she thinks you need and need to do to be popular. I think this is a great book for her becaus eshe said that she like romance novels. Even though its not totally about romance but it has to do with high school love and i think she would very much love to read it.i love it so i think she would like it even though she likes romantic novels.
@qnuttall6 Great job on your post.
@jlett6 I really like your response.
The book that I am currently reading is the bat boy by Mike Lubica I am on page 80. If I had to recommend this book to a person I would recommend it to joseph, because we both love baseball and play it together. He would like it because it goes into the details of baseball and it tells you things that would have never known.
The book i am reading is "Shattered" by Paul Langan(page 179). The book i would recommend this to is KeKe, because she likes drama and is into mystery type books, and movies. Its mostly about how Hakeem (Darcy's boyfriend) moved back from Detroit and is staying with cooper(Darcy's best-friends boyfriend), also Darcy discovers that her mom is pregnant again. This book has jealousy, what-if? moments and also of what Darcy's diseased grandma calls " blessings in hiding". This shows in the book that their is such things in the end. Telling by the type of movies KeKe has played in it shows that she'll enjoy reading this book.
Great blog response!@Sphillips4
Your book sounds interesting! @Jlett6
Sphillips4 keep up the good work!

mrosario4 Great job on your blog!
Sphillips4 Great blog!
The book I am reading is "The Encyclopedia of Me" ,by Karen Rivers ,and I am on the last page (247). I would recommend this book to my friend Alexis because she likes hilarious books. She will like this book because she likes to talk about mostly about her life or what's going on around her. I think the main character and Alexis has almost the same features. I also think that students should check this book out its funny and interesting.
acuccia6 good job on your blog!
Sphillips4 Great job on your blog its has good details!
good job tnegron3 and I think Alexis's would really like your book!
I finished the book Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson. I would recomend it to Zach becuase he likes fantasy-sifi kind of book. The great action the occurs in the book always leaves you hanging. Its a great book to read and I definitley know that Zach would enjoy reading it. Kingdom Keepers is a great book and I highly recommend it for Zach.
@aanzivino6 I love that book! Good blog.
@qnuttall6 That sounds like a cool book! Great blog.
The book I am currently reading is Fated by Alyson Noel. I am not on a page because I have finished reading the book. I would recommend this book to my friend Alondra because she likes Alyson Noel`s books and I think she would like this one because it has magic and romance in it.
Tnegron3: your book sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind reading it.
Astarke4: I agree with you. I have read the book and its pretty funny.
I am reading Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins, and I am on page 82. I would recommend this book to my friend Dehna. I would recommend this to her because she loves action romances, with good fight scenes, evil masterminds, and a cliff hanger ending, that leads beautifully into the next book in the series. This book has all of those qualities and more, the antagonists name is President Snow and he is such a great bad guy. He is very subtle and slick with hints of his evil plans. This book has an amazing romance between the two main characters and brings in an amazing twist at the end. I think that this book would fit Dehna just fine.
Great Blog @jlett6, keep up the great work!
Great blog @qnuttall, great detail!
The book that im ready is diary of a wimpy kid. personally I thik alex and greg should read this because its simple. I think alex and greg would love it because its has pictures. also the book is about a kid trying to make it through middle school.
I am reading Escape by Allan Zullo and I am on page 83. If I had to recommend my book to a friend, I would recommend it to Frank. We both enjoy reading books based on the Holocaust. I think he would enjoy my book because he love books and World War 2. Frank never wants to put his book down and my book would be perfect cause it makes you never want to stop reading. Frank is also mature and above the age of 5 so I think he could mange the harsh content included in this book.
nbrook6,
Great job on your blog, good suggestion!
ehouston4,
Great job on your blog, good details!
good job djouvenas on your blog. I read that book before and it was awesome. I really liked it.
I'm reading Emma, by Jane Austen, and I'm on page 422. This is a book that I would recommend to my friend Mahala, because she likes books where people learn from their mistakes. I also think she would like it because most of the characters in the book are very funny, and Mahala likes to laugh a lot. She also reminds me a lot of one of the characters.
Great job ehoutston4! Those were a lot of the reasons I enjoyed that book!
Good job, Sphillips4, I really liked your description!

Tnegron3
Good job on your blog!!!!
Jlett6
Nice blog! Keep up the good work.
I think my friend Zach would like my book unstoppable by Tim Green. It’s about a kid named Harrison who keeps on going to multiple foster homes. In his new foster home his foster Dad is a football coach for a 8th and 9th grade team. Harrison joins his team and becomes the starting running back for the team, and he later loses his leg and is diagnosed with bone cancer. He makes a recovery and he becomes famous for wearing a amputee during games and he is unstoppable. I really think he’ll like this book, I finished the book.
czunkel3 great job and thanks for mentioning me.
jlett6 great job
I’m reading "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern and I am on page 470. I think my friend Jamie would like this book because it is long and full of confusing twists and turns. It is a bit of a challenge to read and she always like challenges. This book also contains a lot of mystery and magic to make it interesting. The way that the chapters slowly unfold and intertwine with the other elements of the book is what makes it special since the chapters are out of order.
I just finished Gone by Michael Grant it had a total of 558. I think my friend Nicole would like this because it is a mystery/fantasy book. I believe that she would like the book very much it had a lot of drama in it. It talks about working together and building friendships. I think she would enjoy it very much.
lwithers6 Great job keep up the good work.
sphillips4:
you were very descriptive, this was obviously well planned
acuccia6:
sounds like an interesting book
mmoffitt6 I enjoyed reading your blog very much. Great job.
sphillips4 good job on your blog. that sounds like a very interesting book
I am reading the Fault in Our Stars by John Green and I have finished the book. The Fault in Our Stars is mostly for teenage girls. If were to pick someone to read this book it would be Michaela because we have the same taste in almost everything and I enjoyed it so she probably would too. Michaela would probably enjoy the love story between Augustus and Hazel. I would recommend this book to almost all teenage girls and maybe some guys if they like love stories.
Great job Jlett6!
You did great on your blog cnechodom4!
the book I just finished reading was standing for socks by Elissa B. Weissman. i would recommend this book to someone who likes realistic fiction and like standing up for things they believe in. Like my friend Helen. She would like this book because she like political stuff and she like reading. This book is about a girl who accidentally wears mismatching socks and then she starts a team that helps her win the student council president. I think this is a really good book
My book, The Hitchiker’s Guide To the Galaxy, By Douglas Adam (page 190) is a book I would highly recommend to my friend Ian. The book is all about sci-fi misadventures of Ford Prefect and Arthur who are very relatable characters. The author also did their research, using real planets and locations on earth just to add to the immersion of the story. Ian also likes generally nerdy or geeky things and anything of that sort and this novel is filled with references to video games and other sci-fi movies and books which anyone interested in the subject will understand. This novel is something I can also recommend to everyone, even those who don’t prefer sci-fi because the novel is very interesting in general.
@Jlett6 Nice post, sounds good!
@QNuttal6 Great job, sounds like a book I would like.
I am currently reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth and I am on page 301. I think my friend, Lea would enjoy this book because this book is 525 pages and she loves reading long books that keep her interested. She also loves reading sci fi fantasy and books about dystopian societies. Also the movie for the first book of the series (Divergent) is coming out and she always reads the book before watching the movie because she likes to compare them. After she reads the first book of the series she pretty much makes it her mission to finish the entire series, which I also tend to do because I’m completely hooked to this series.
Sphillips4, good job on your post!
ehouston4, I love that book! Good job on your post!
I'm reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth and I'm on page 263. I would recommend this book to my friend Alexis. She has already read Divergent and Insurgent, the first and second books in the series, and liked them. This book has both action and romance, which are two things she looks for in a book. It is also similar to The Hunger Games series, which she read and really liked.
@lfrank4 I really want to read that book. Good job!
@ehouston4 Good job! I love that book.
I am reading “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret” By Judy Blume, and I am on page 73. I would recommend this book to my friend Kyleigh because I believe she would enjoy this type of book. This book is about a teenager who moved to this town and joined a secret club, and they had to basically change their daily routines. I believe she would enjoy this book because the main character is very outgoing and so is she. Lastly, she is the first person that came to my head because this book kind of reminds me of her and how she reminds me of the main character.
@ehunziker4 Great job on your blog, and great job explaining why it would be a good book for her.
@mrosario4 Great blog, I liked the reason why you would recommend this book to him.
I am reading the book "The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King" written by J.R.R. Tolkien and I am on page 1045. I would recommend this book to my friend Evan. I think he should read this book because it is full of conflict and is descriptive. He likes books that are suspenseful and that have more action moments. This book has many suspenseful moments and descriptive action scenes.
Sphillips4 Great job on the blog!
Great Job EHouston4! Im sure Dehna will love Catching Fire if she reads it!
JLett6, The Thing About Luck sounds like a great book. If Annie reads it. I'm sure she'll enjoy it!
I am reading "Love?Maybe. by Heather Hepler, and I am on page 50. I would recommend this book to Armone because she loves a book that she can't put down and this book is capable of that. It has a lot of conflict and romantic moments involved and she loves books that are like that. This book would be the one I would definitely recommend her to read! "Love?Maybe." would actually be the perfect Valentine's day book to sit back and enjoy.
@sknowles6 Great job on explaining why you recommended your book to him!
@aouellette3 Love how you mentioned what your book was about! Keep up the good work.
I am reading Cursed by Micheal Panckridge and I think my buddy Josh would really like to read this book because I know he doesn't like to read that much but he would read a book that's about mythical an supernatural things. I mean who could blame him, that kind of stuff is cool to read about. My book is about like Indian spirits attacking travelers that are trespassing in their territory but that's not the whole story. I like the book so I know he would enjoy it!
Oh yea and I'm on page 137
@sphillips keep up the good work
@jclark I like how you included very specific details in your response
I am reading the book Titanic Voices from the Disaster by Deborah Hopkinson and I am on page 100.
I would recommend this book to Gorge because it is about a disaster that happened in history.
Gorge is very good in history Class and would most likely enjoy studying the Titanic. The book gives thoughts of the crew, pictures of the event, and lots of info and details. The book Titanic is a nonfiction book that tells the story of the Titanic, not the romance story like in the movie.
great job cparker3 and spark6
I’m reading 39 clues from Rick Rodain I’m on pg.55.The friend that I think should read this book is Joseph I think he would like it for many reasons.39 clues is about kids going all over the world looking for clues there dead grandmother left them. He would really like this book because he is an adventurous kind of person. I would really recommend for him to read this book.
@jclark3 you did a job I seen how you were being very specific.
@mwebster4 you did an excellent job at doing this blog.
I think that alasha should read my current book called “coffee house angel” by Suzan Selfors because she’s a romantic, she always has been. I think that alasha would like this book because this book has drama written all over it, right up alashas alley. Another reason why I think she would enjoy this book because it has a lot of rivalry and alasha is very competitive in things she strongly believes in just like the main character Katrina. I am currently on page 80 and I am enjoying this book a lot!
The book that I am currently reading is The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963, written by Christopher Paul Curtis and I am on page 45. I think Aniyah should read my independent book because she loves learning about our history and the world past. Aniyah would enjoy this book because it is uplifting and makes you want to be able to change histories past. Aniyah would also enjoy this book because it talks about the troubles that happened In Birmingham 1963. This has been something she wanted to learn about for a very long time. Hopefully this book will give her all the information she needs to know about Birmingham 1963.
@sphilips4 those are all great reasons.
@aanzivino6 it should normally be a little longer but good try.
@apinkney3
This book sound just like me yet you spelt my name wrong.
@amartin3
I love that book its very good.
I think Armone would love my book “One for the murphys” by Lynda mullaly hunt because, she loves new twist and relationships. I also think Armone also would love my book because it is a really good book about a 13 year girl life and situations. She also love giraffes and little kids. Right now I 0n on page 40.
@acash: Great job I love how u mention my name!!
@apinkney: Great job keep up the good work!
I think that my friend Zaquaya should read the book Side-kicked by James Anderson. The reason why I think that Zaquaya should read this book is because this book is full of action and adventure I am only on page 55 and it is already hard to keep my face out of it. Zaquaya is full of action and adventure and is a brash young girl who loves to read. I also think that she would like this book because it is an easy read and the words are all in her vocabulary span. All in all I think that my friend Zaquaya would like this book.
Great job Sphillips4 I really like your post.
Awesome job djouvenas3 great post
The book I am reading is drums girls and dangerous pie and I am finish with the book and it was amazing. And I would recommend this book to Terrence, because he is into girls and he loves playing drums and he does not eat pie. And I think that he will enjoy it because it is on his reading level and because it relates to him. Also this book shows me all the things that happen threw out the teenage mind. And all the things he thinks about I do to a lot especially girls.

gmiller6 gretat blog!
Qnuttal6 great job on your blog!
My book is In a Heartbeat, by Loretta Ellsworth and I am on page 16 out of 212. I would recommend this book to my friend Leighton. This book is about a girl who has to have a heart transplant. Once she gets her new heart, she starts feeling different things. Also, there is romance in this book. I would recommend this book to Leighton because she loves cute romantic stories. She is always telling me about the new book she is reading or the romantic movie she watched yesterday. Also, she is always caught up in everyone’s relationship. I thought this book would be good for her because she would enjoy reading it, and she recommended a book to me that I loved and it was kind of similar to my book.
nbrook6
Good job on your blog. I think they would like it too.
@gmiller6
Good blog.
The book I'm reading is The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. Im on page 234 and i think caroline should read it. She loves love stories and The Lucky One is a great love story.It's a book that would fit her because its sweet, and sad at the same time.Caroline loves sweet and sad stories like The Notebook. The Lucky One reminds me of her.
Jlett6 i loved your blog! Maybe i'll read that book sometime!
Sphillips great job!
My book is Stranded by Ben Mikaelsen. Im currently on page 132of my book. I think my friend Leighton woukld enjoy this book beacuse she likes whales and nature. Since she likes animals she would i think love this book. To me leighton has the same attitude of the main character in my book.
lfindley6 - i love that book!
acollazo6: That is one of my favorite books of all time! great choice.
I am currently reading The Raft by S.A. Bodeen and I am on page 127. If I were to recommend it to any of my friends, I would tell Emily. This book is very exciting and action packed which is why she would love it. It also has a lot of suspense and things to find out and mysteries is another thing she is very interested in.
@acollazo6, that book is really good! it made me sad a little, but definetly a great one
@acash3 nice good explaining how they would like the book so much
I have just finished the book, The Paladin Prophecy, by Mark Frost, which has 539 pages. I believe that many of my friends would enjoy this book, especially the ones who enjoy Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I think that Elizabeth would really enjoy this book. I often see her reading very large and mythological books, which is very similar to this one. Elizabeth has told me that she loves the Percy Jackson series which has a very rapid pace, crazy monsters, and a mystery that needs to be solved. I really hope that Elizabeth not only reads this book, but also enjoys it as much as I did.
@kkaufmann6 I read that book last year and it was probably my favorite! Keep up the good work.
@Sphillips4 You always impress me with your blogs! I love your details and reasoning!
I am reading Fairest by Gail Carson Levine.I'm on page 163.My important word is deteriorated.The castle fare deteriorated.Without Frying Pan the cook the meals were late. The bread was crusty and stale. The cheese was moldy green.The roasts were undercooked or burned.One memorable cake was frosted with chicken fat. I recommend this book to Jessie.
I'm reading the book "A girl named disaster" and I'm on page 137. The person I believe that would be most best for this book is Mathew. I believe that he is most suitable for this book because he love to read book about African American past and stories on how they lived.
Sphillips4 You always impress me with your blogs
acash3 nice good explaining how they would like the book so much
Im reading the book Sharpshooter by Chris Lynch. I think my friend will would likt this book because it is about going to war. His father went to Iraq and fought in the war. He is always telling me how he likes to read books about vietnam and war.
sphillips4 greAT JOB ON YOUR NBLOG.
cchumac great details!
The book I am reading now is The Nazi Hunters by Neal Bascomb. I am currently finished with the book. I would say that this book is cool because it is so strange but it is actually a true story. I would recommend this book to Alex because it is about the topic we have right now in class. I think he will enjoy the excitement and the fact that it has happened.
mwilby
Great job that sounds like a good book.
Sphillips
Great blog prefect details.
I am currently on page 274 of The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green. I would recommened this book to Kaitlyn because this book is sad and she likes sad books.i would also recommened this book to her because i feel like she could connect to it in some ways.
tjensen6: Great description
tbolton4: Seems like a good book!
I am reading, "Elemental" by Antony John, and am on page 326. One friend I would recommend this book to is Zach. Zach is not much of a reader, but I'm sure that given the amount of action and adventure in this novel, he will read this book. He has always talked about being not being an important person. In this book, the main character, Thomas, is not the savior as much as his little brother. However, Thomas was needed in protecting his little brother and he came up with the master plan. So even though the little brother was the savior, Thomas was still somebody important.
@JLett6 Good support!
@Sphillips4 That seems like an exciting book!
..I am reading something girl by Beth Goobie. This is an amazing book so far and I think janaysia should read it because of the main character Sophia. She is being abused by father but she still stands up tall and fight through it, she an outgoing brave girl like janaysia
I finish my book recently so I am going to recommend one I've read this year. I read The City of thieves. I recommend this book to my friend Gavin, because he is into action adventure books. It is also very gritty and dark. Me and him are picky when it comes to books so I think he would like it.
