1 – 200 of 229 Newer› Newest»i am reading lord of the rings the two towers by j.r.r Tolkien. i am on page 274, the thing i like most about the book is the adventure. its descriptive, has illusions and is magic. the thing i don't like about the book is the fact that the book ends its an amazing book and i do not want it to end. there is no comments yet or that i can see so i`ll speak with you about it.
I am currently reading HALO THE FLOOD, I am on page 63 chapter two.
One thing i really like about the book is that it not only IS based off the game but from the perspective of a person of a person who has played the game it does a very good job of feeling like Halo, and not just some alternate story that takes place in the Halo universe. It also uses lots of elements from the game like when the author talks about the HUD set up and makes reference to the targeting reticel from the game, and even writes parts designed to look like computer text explaining technical procedures like when master cheif was being woken up from cryogenic stasis. Im sure that the book will contain manyy more refrences to the game and im excited to see whats on the way.
I am reading Peeled by Joan Bauer and I'm on page 95. The best thing I like about this book is that it is a mystery book and I love mystery. This book is special because its about a reporter and I would like to be a reporter one day(well its on my job list). The one thing that I don't like about this book is that its mainly a girl book because they talk about girl things and mainly girl characters in this book. I also like this book because the characters track people down and solve the mysteries.

Cool, I never really got into the L.O.T.R. series but I'm sure their great books!
csweinberg6-you need to capitalize the authors name, book title, and beginning of each sentences. good job answering the blog.
fwbougher-you forgot to put the authors name which is cool. One thing. wonderful job at doing your blog. It was very descriptive. plus I love halo.
Im reading "monster high." by Lisi Harrison and im on page 121.the best thing i like about this book is that ,the characters aren't human ,their monsters.such as the characters howleen,clawdla,clawd & clawdeen wolf all are siblings and they are werewolfs.also deuce gorgon son of medusa is a half human with a snake head .the part i hate about the book is the drama.their is so many problems to solve.
@jsanford5 ,good job on you'er blog keep up the great work.
I finished Alliance by Mark Frost. What I love about the book is that it is AMAZING, it has people that have powers and an ancient race trying to take back earth. It made me stay up late on some nights. One thing I didn't like is that it is a little too short for me. 332 pages is not enough for me to do the papers and projects on because I want to get the next book!
@fwbougher Nice book review! I read Halo: The Flood and it was my favorite one in the series. Nice details on how it relates to the game, keep up the good work!
@Jsanford5 Good job on your blog, you explained why you liked the book and why you didn't, good job having 5 sentences as well, keep up the good work!
I am currently reading The Giver and I am on pg.100. The part I specifically like about this book is that you get a big ceremony when you turn one more year every year. The part I specifically don't really like about this book is that they pick a job for your future and you have to deal with it.
good response amoskalinko5 you had the required info.
good job fwbougher nice long detailed response.
I am reading Silhouetted by the blue, I am on page 110. The author of my book is John Steptoe and Coretta Scott King. One thing I like about the book is the drama in it. Why I like it is because Serena Shaw has to take care of her brother Henry all by herself cause her father is suddenly feeling blue. One thing I don't like in the book is that the mother died on a work trip to New Orleans and never came back. The reason why I dislike that is because it is very sad to lose a mother.
@Amoskalinko5 Good Job on your blog!
@Aparker5 Great job on you blog and I have read monster high too!
I am reading the book Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and I am currently on page 204. One thing I really enjoy about this book is that it has a lot of action. One part that has a lot of action is when Katniss first sees Petta and he attacks her in the hospital. One part that I don’t really like about my book is how there are a lot of characters. It gets kind of confusing when it talks about one person and you get them mixed up with another one.
ppI am reading “The Postcard” by Tony Abbott, I’m currently on page 170. One thing I don’t like about the book is how Jason’s dad curses at him so much, for no reason. He cursed at him for picking up a magazine to read it, I thought reading was a good thing. I guess not! One thing I do like about my book is that Jason is very curios. He went all the way across town, just to go to an abandoned church his great grandfather used to own. He is from Boston, so Florida is new to him, he had no directions he just found out where to go, and how to get there. He went to the hotel to find the second part to a story he is reading. All that trouble just for a book.
Aparker5 good job.
rcortes5 great job.
I am Currently reading the book "summer of secrets" by Paul Langan. I like the conflict in the book.I like the conflict because i feel like it is very interesting.But, I do not like the fact that a friend of Darcy gave her a secret to keep and that is more stressing to Darcy. I dont like it because i dont know what will happen to Darcy in the end. Will she kill her self.
good job dkeaton4 on your blog.
amountain4 good job
I am reading the book The Clique:Kristen by Lisi Harrison,and I am on page 107. One thing that I like about my book is the fact that its realistic fiction And the reason I like it is because I can almost relate to some of the things in my life because its a group of girls and its girls that I hang out with in a group. One thing that I don't like about my book is that the grammar is really bad and the reason For me not liking it is because they drag words out and it looks stupid.
Great job dkeaton4
Great job amountain4
I am currently reading Showoff by Gordon Korman and I am on page 110. One thing I do like about this book is that the two main characters are trying really hard to do something amazing for they're friend. I like this act because I would do it for one of my friends. One thing I don't like about this book is that they aren't really achieving the thing they want to do. But at least they are keeping a good attitude and they aren't giving up.
amountain4: I get what you mean. ive read a book like that before. it gets really confusing
Jsanford5: good job keep up the good work
My book is don't hold their breath by Helene boudreau I just started so I am only on page number 5. From what I have read I think that the part on page one when it says tht she was mad cause the guy she had her first kiss with was not talking to her I don't like that cause she is basically revolved around boys and that is not right to me. The part that I like is when she says that she is a mermaid I like this because I like mermaids cause they are mystical and get to do what ever they want. And cause they don't have to worry about school and work and grades.
@emasi06
Great post!!
@dkeaton4
I like your post!!!
I am reading "The Ghost in the Machine" by Patrick Carmen and I am on page 140. Something I really like about my book is that it is told from the point of view from somebody my age. The book is supposed to be Ryan, the main character's, journal and thoughts on the mystery he is trying to solve. Something I really don't like about my book is because it is supposed to be in the format of a journal it is often messy and unorganized. This shows in the lists he writes of his suspects and also when he strikes through unwanted words.
amountain4 I really enjoyed that book. There were a lot of plot twists.
rcortes5 I agree. Having somebody pick the job you would have to do for the rest of your life would stink.
I'm reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald on page 83. The thing I like the most is the grammar used, how well written and how well used the words are, to me the writing style is one of the greatest things. One thing I don't like about it though is that it's in Nick's point of view because he's only observing, instead of rather from a person who the story is revolving around, instead of Nick who is merely observing as the story goes on, in a way it feels like I'm being told about what happened in a book by someone who's already read it.
@skunklersulacia3 Good post, I agree that would be annoying.
@emasio6 Nice post.
@skunklersulacia3 Good post, I agree that would be annoying.
@emasio6 Nice post.
I am finished reading Holes and since I finished it the last page was 233 and it was writing by Louis Sachar. One thing that I really like about my book was that there was a story inside a story. You have one story about Stanley Yelnates the fourth and is journey in the juvenile dentition center called Camp Green Lake. On the other story it is the origin of Kissin’ Kate Barlow and how the son of the town murdered Sam the opinion man because he and Kate Barlow kissed and everybody doesn’t like that because same is African American. The one thing that I don’t like about the book was that at the end it doesn’t really tell you what happened in between when Stanley and Zero leave Camp Green Lake. I would have liked to known where Zero’s mom was all this time.
good blog @Tullah2
I am reading Ghost Hawk by Susan Cooper. I'm on page 113. The thing I like most about this book is that there are many things that native American tribes really do. My least favorite thing about the book is that almost every time you think something good is going to happen, there is always a twist. An example of this is, when the main character returns home after 3 months alone in the winter woods, all of his family is dead.
nice job @rcortes5
I am reading The Lions of Little Rock ,and I'm on page 142.The thing I like most is the girls friendship. In the book there not supposed to be friends because, it's during segregation and could bring danger to their families. The thing I don't like is that the schools closed down. The schools closed down because people who don't like blacks ,didn't want to go to school with them. I don't think it's fair that kids aren't getting the eduation they need.
nacrawford6 good job! I agree I would like to know about Zero's mom.
Aparker5 great job!
The book I am currently reading is Cinder by Marisa Meyer and I am on page 312. One thing i enjoy about my book is that there is an exciting adventure within every chapter. Cinder and I are both very adventurous and full of curiosity. However, one thing I do not enjoy about my book is the pace at which Marisa Meyer writes. Yes it is true there is an adventure in every chapter, but that is within every chapter. I like the pace of my books to be exciting with the turn of every page. I found myself bored throughout half of some chapters in the book. Other than that my book is a fabulous book.
@nacrawford6
Your blog was absolutely outstanding.
@fwbougher
Your blog was great.
My book is called "The Rule of THRE3"(it's supposed to be spelled like that) by Eric Walters and I'm on page 172. The genre is realistic fiction because it's placed and timed at present day America. A couple things I like is the main character is a genius, has a partner or friend, and relationship problems. A couple others is during the dystopia event which is occurring because something happened to all the electricity and computers in the U.S. so far it has only been seven days in the dark but the main character Adam who is sixteen years old is taking on a bunch of responsibility along with his mother who is a police captain and his neighbor (Herb) a 70 year old retired spy for the C.I.A. has experience with this sort of crisis i other countries. A couple things I certainly don't like is the fact a sixteen their is a lot of ways to predict what is most likely going to happen next in the story. Also the title which is mentioned in the book is only brought up one time so far.
fwbougher?: You didn't put what period you have for Mrs. Thomas and the halo series is a great game but I never read any of the books or comics it has to offer.
amoskalenko5: That is a good book series and the author is very talented in making realistic fiction with a hint of mythology involved.
I am currently reading " the odd squad" and i am on page 83. one thing I like about this STORY is Nick and how he acts and how his life is. Because its funny how he deals with his life. One thing I don't like is how there are kids getting bullied in the story. because i feel like no one deserves to be bullied.
@jsongayab4 great blog! good job
@cmcknight4 keep up the good work nice blog!
The book I am currently reading is Force out. The author is Tim Green and the page number is 103. One think I like abiut this book is that it is about baseball. I really love baseball, some people say it not a good sport, some say that it is chaotic. One thing I don't like about this book is that it is very long. It took a very long time to get pass page 100. The book is very good but it is a very long one.

csweinberg6 great blog. Keep up the good work.
I am reading " The Lions of Little Rock" it is Kristin Levine,and i'm on page 59. One thing I liked about this book is how liz and Marlee are friends in the 1950s and Liz is Black.What i like about that is that segregation is happening and and even though they are from different races they still are friends. even though her family may disapprove. And what i didn't like about the book is that in the beginning of the book that Marlee was sorta of basing liz on he skin color. And I can understand that people did that back then, but i still wasn't vey fond of that.
good job @jsanford5 very nice blog
The author of my book is Lois Lowry. The title of my book is Number The stars. The page that I am currently on is 89.One thing I like about my book is that my two main characters are very brave .Annie at a young age faces the Rude Nazi soldiers , she have to take a part in protecting her friend. On the other hand one thing I don't like about my book is the snitches people who tell on the Jewish its not like they're getting a award for it.
@fwbougher good job. keep up the good work!
@arizzo5 good job on your blog . The book sounds interesting including the fact that It takes place during segregation.
@nacrawford6 Great job on your blog response. I've heard of a book like that.
I am reading The book "Muckers" by Sandra Neil Wallace.I'm currently on page 274 (End of the book.What i like about this book is that it is about football and i like to play football with friends but also because this book can also be important because they are friends and they make a good team. But the things i dont like are that the there is curse words in this book. And that its very long to read but i enjoyed it.
nice blog... @TFoye
nice post.. @JSanford
I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and I am currently on page 106. The things I like most about my book is the adventure!! I think the challenges Katniss has faced since the first book is absolutely AMAZING! I also love the suspense and the decisions Katniss must make. The thing I don’t like about the book is some of the violence. For example the page I just finished reading is when Gale is tied to a wooden pole being whipped, with his back nothing but a bloody slab of meat! But overall I’m absolutely loving this book and can’t wait to see what happens next!!
fwbougher
I LOVE THE GAME!! LOL. the book sounds awesome!!
Aparker5
Sounds scary lol, I like scary.
I am now reading Brothers In Arms the author is Paul Langan & Ben Alirez and I am on page 78. I like this book because it has a good meaning and it is a realistic fiction cause it tells what can happen in everyday life. This book has a series called the “The BluFord Series”. All there books have a good meaning and it makes you think if this could happen in real life. I really am enjoying my book and I do not have any thing I don’t like about it. It shows a real look on what can happen on a day to day bases in peoples life. And it seems so real like if it did really happen before.
Bmcbride5
That book sounds really good it seems like it is a little scary but good detail.
Jsongayab4
That sounds like a good and lot of detail.
THE BOOK I AM CURRENTLY READING IS MICHEAL VEY:THE PRISONER OF CELL 25BY A NUMBER 1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR.RICHARD PAUL EVENS.THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A BOY WITH SUPER POWERS IT IS VERY INTERESTING.THE MOST THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS STORY IS IN MICHEALS CASE ARE POSOTIVE'S AND NEGATIVE'S.IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO READ THIS BOOK ON PG.25 HE HELPS HIS MOM START THE CAR.BUT WHAT I DO HATE IS HIS FRIEND VON IS NOT A GOOD PERSON HE IS JEALOUS OF MICHEALS ABILITIES
I am currently reading HEAT by MIKE LUPICA. I am on page 120. the one thing I really like about this book is how no matter how much harder it gets for them to live on there own they never give up. The thing I do not like about the book is how they have to lie to get around.I am so sad I am almost done with it. Great job on your blog@jsanford5 I like it sound like a cool book.
great job @amountain4
I am reading Starters by Lisa Price and I am on page 205. One thing I really like about my book is that Callie finds out that her renter is planning on killing the senator and Callie doesn’t want to have to kill him but she doesn’t like him either. That makes it really hard for her to find a different way to stop him without killing him. One thing that I don’t like about my book is that the renters are not that secretive about being renters. They are not supposed to be telling anyone that secret, yet when they think you’re a renter too, they will give a lot of hints or they will flat out say it.
Ktodd4: Good job but for next week you might want to spell out the words like because and that. But other than that your book sounds good and you did a good job explaining it!
aachristian4: Haha I like the capitals! Anyways, your book sounds good. Good job.
Aparker5
how does anybody make an enjoyable book out of something like monsters high?
im now reading the twinkie squad, by gordon korman im in page 45 ,what i really like is that commando and douglas have a really good friendship and i like that, what i dont like is that commando is always in trouble because he is so brusque and he fights a lot of people, he was an athlete but he hit douglas with a ball accidently and now he is in the twinkie squad a group of conversations because people think he has problems , but he does not have them, its because he is so aggresive.
@okayel4 sounds like a great book ! good luck reading
I am reading the 39 clues. I'm on page 57, the thing i like about my book is the suspense in it. The thing i dont like about is that there is way to many people and you can kinda get lost on who is who sometimes. Its an amazing book some people may like it.
Great post @csweinberg6 that's a great way to get a A! @jsanford That book sounds interesting!
I have completely finished the book "House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo. I have enjoyed the mystery and intense moments that make you want to read more and more. I have always liked the mystery books, and learning the way the plot is solved in the end. One thing i did not like in this book was the beginning page. In the very beginning of the book, it was a scene where a woman was being kidnapped by a dark figure, then it started the story. I was very confused until i got to the very END of the book. Not the best strategy in my opinion. Overall, not many complaints about the book.
@aachristian4
Maybe next time you shouldn't put EVERYTHING in capitalized letters. Just a tip. Other than that your blog was pretty good.
@rcortes5
You should explain more about your reasons you like and dont like your book.
I'm currently reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, and I'm currently on page 150. The one thing I really liked about the book is the fact that it has many mysterious adventures that the characters go on, like the time a gang of bullies were going to beat Junior up, but then his best friend Rowdy came and saved him. The one thing I don't like about it is that it has a lot of sad parts in it, like the time Junior's dog died because they can't afford the right medicine to cure him.
@SHenderson4:Nice blog!
@cmcknight4:Sounds like a good book, I'm going to think about reading it:)
I have completed reading "Haunted" by Kirsten and P.C. cast. It is the 5th of of the "House of Night novel" series. The thing I like most about this book is that it isn't like most vampyre books. They add different cultures and traditions to the book. There is also lots of magic in it. It isn't anything about vampyres trying to go around and drink people blood. I really like how they put reasoning behind everything that happens, too. For example, The reason Zoey Redbird is the only one of friends who has trouble fighting the attraction to the dark fallen angel is because she is a reincarnation of a woman named A-ya who was created by Cherokee people to love him and trap him in the earth. The "House of Night novel" series is a really good series. I love how they make it interesting and exciting to keep young adults interested and in it, but they also add science an culture to it. I am currently moving on to the next book in the series titled "Tempted".
@Jsanford5; That sounds interesting! I love mystery books too.
@csweinberg6; Is "The lord of the rings" a good book? I've never read it before.
Blog #5) I just got done reading The 39 clues Day of Doom which was written by David Baldacci. One thing that I love about the book is the suspense and action. The must stop a doomsday device from being activated, but they don’t know where it is, and they have to save 7 family members that were hostages. But one thing I don’t like about my book is that it was too short.
Jsanford5
I like mystery books too!
I am reading ‘How My Journal Became a Bestseller’ by Julia Devillers and I am on page 157. The one thing that I really liked about this book is when Jamie became a best author of the year. First she was very surprised, but the way she gets use to it was really interesting. She went to the after- parties with celebrities, having interviews and have opportunities to be on the TV. However the one thing that I didn’t like is the conflicts between the characters. Especially the way Jamie and her friends tried to avoid the mean girls made me angry because the mean girls teased them a lot.
@cbascom6 I like your blog. Your book sounds good.
@shenderson4 That sounds interesting! Good job.
I am currently reading SilverFin by Charlie Higson and I am on page 193. One thing I like about this book is that it has action and mystery in it. The reason why I like action and mystery is because it makes you want to keep reading. One thing I don't like about the book is that George's dad (George and his dad are the antagonists) keeps yelling at George if he does not do manly things. George's dad is all about him being a "man". I hope he "mans" up to his dad.
I am reading The Raft by S.A. Bodeen and I am currently on page 185. One thing that I really like about the book is the mystery of what is going to happen next, and If the two characters are going to survive. Like once they found the island they had more food available. One thing that I don't like about this book is waiting to see what happens next for a while. Like when the main character goes off topic for a whole page.
rcortes5 the Giver is great!
emasio6 great job describing how you like the book.
nacrawford6 I love Holes!!! The movie is great too.
jkoenig3 sounds like a good book.
I am reading "The Adoration of Jenna Fox" by Mary E. Pearson. One thing I really like in the book is the science fiction and being able to thick how someday that it could actually happen. One thing that I don't like in the book is that there are no males in the story. The only male so far is the dad and a couple of other not so important characters.I am on page 217 and almost finished.
Fwbougher: Great post!
Jsanford5: Your book sounds pretty cool.
My book is "Legend" and the author is Marie Lu, and I just finished my book. The one thing that I like about my book is that, it has alot of action and descriptive details. Also I love the way there is always suspense at the end of the chapter that makes you want to read more. The one thing that I don't like about the book is that it needs more action. It has action but I think I would l like the book even more if it has more action. Example Day, country's most wanted criminal but it doesn't really say much about his crimes but still I'm pretty happy with the book as it is.
I'm on page 67 Blood and Bone by Don Hoesel.I specifically like the fight scenes because they get instance.I don't like that they got separated the dad and the son.
Sounds interesting
SHenderson4 Good Job! It sounds like an interesting book jsongayab4 Good blog! Keep it up!
I am currently reading the raft by S.A Bodeen, and I'm on page 145. I love this book it's interesting. From beginning to almost end ( because I haven't finish reading). Once I started reading I just don't want to stop. I'm just there like what going to happen next. Oh I know, nope I was wrong. The main character robie she goes through many events. It's unbelievable and she has to learn to get out of them. One thing i didn't like so much was max (the co-pilot) he in a deep sleep through most of the book.
Jsanford5 Nice work on those 5 sentence! Also good job on explaining why you like it and why you didn't.
emasio6 Great job on your blog, keep up the good work.
I am reading Ender's Shadow by orson scott card ,and I am on page 312.
The thing I really like about my book is that it's scientific fiction because it is one of my favorite book types. Scientific fiction really grabs my attention and gets me intrested in the book while other types of books are really boring. What I dont like about my book is that it is from a series that I was reading ,but its just an alternate version of the first books just from a different point of view where It took more time to get in to the action. In Ender's game I was into the action by 30 pages ,but for this book it took 230 pages. One more thing i dont like about this book is that it is 469 pages while the others were like 175 - 210

@csweinberg6 All books have to end.
@fwbougher that book sounds cool where did you get it?
Currently I am reading “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” by J. K. Rowling and I am on page number 199, I had just started reading the book last night. One thing I like most about this wonderful book is that Harry starts off in the beginning of the book already with some excitement and suspense. “Something had happened to the night. The star-strewn indigo sky was suddenly pitch-black and lightless – the stars, the moon, the misty streetlamps at either side of the alley had vanished….” (Page 16) As some people can already tell, if they had been reading the Harry Potter books up until the fifth one, they would now that something strange, even remarkable, was going to happen to our dear Harry Potter. That is why I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and universe because if you are Harry Potter or a close friend, or even if you are just near him at the time of something happening, your life will not be a very boring one. Though I do not really know of a thing I hate, I would have to say that I respect Malfoy’s hatred towards Harry because in the first book Malfoy tried to be Harry’s friend but Harry didn’t care much. I would have liked it more if Harry had more of a friendship over the years with Malfoy instead of just despising him. Although in the epilogue of the last book Harry doesn’t really care about Malfoy but Ron still hates the man. But I can also see why everyone hates Malfoy because of his rudeness. “A short distance away, Draco Malfoy, followed by a small gang of cronies including Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy Parkinson, was pushing some timid-looking second years out of the way so that they could get a coach to themselves.” (Page 197)
@csweinberg6 you forgot to capitalize quite a few things...
@SHenderson4 I always enjoy reading your blogs, they are really good.
I am reading Charlie and the chocolate factory by Roald Dahl and I am on page 90.
One thing I like about this book is it's about chocolate and candy. I really like chocolate and candy.It's sweet and delicious I love it. In the book there are a lot of kind of chocolate and candy.I really want to try it.The thing I don't like about my book is that Charlie is poor.If Charlie was not poor he could eat a lot of food and stuff.So he shares and shares.When he got the golden ticket I was so happy It could be the chance that can get a lot of food!.On page 20 Willy Wonka said "Then, at the end of the tour,as a special present, all of them ( 5 people who has the golden ticket) will be given enough chocolates and candies to last them for the rest of their lives!" So I thought like that.
@fwbougher good details.
@ nacrawford6 good job.
I am currently reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I am on page 440. The entire book is absolutely amazing, one of the best books I have ever read, and I love almost everything about it. One of my favorite parts about it, though, would probably be the struggles the main character goes through, like his adaption to living on the streets of a large city. The struggles make the book so much more interesting, and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. My least favorite part of the book, which was a very hard decision to make, would probably be the fact that it is its own world. This is a good thing for the most part, but things that should be simple, like names of the days of the week and months or the worth and names of money, are changed, making some concepts difficult to understand. Other than those few things, which are quite petty issues, the book is just amazing.
SHenderson4: Great post and your book sounds very interesting.
BHastings3: Great post, your book seems like it's really suspenseful.
Good job @dkeaton4
Good job
I am reading the running dream by Wendelin Van Draaren, and I am currently on page 152. One thing I like most about the book is the friends. All of Jessica's (main chacter) in the story are very supportive of what happened to her leg. They are all there for Jessica. Something I don't really like about the book is how much they talk about the sister. In the book Jessica has a slightly younger sister who has really only appeared in the book around 3 times.
@dkeaton that was a good job
@emasio6 great job and i agree i hate it when they dont acheive there goals.
I am currently reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and I am on page 76. Even though I just started reading this book, I already love it. One thing I like about the book is the main character, Hazel Grace. I love her personality and the way she is so relaxed. One thing I dislike is that she has tyroid cancer. I would've liked to see her healthy because it would have made the book more happy. I recommend this book to everyone that hasn't read it already!
fwbougher, nice blog!
jsanford5, nice job!
I am reading May Bird Among the Stars by Jodi Lynn Anderson and I'm on page 58.What I like most about this book is that this is the book that I've been looking for because I love paranormal things mixed with a little friendship romance among one ghost. But, the one thing that I don't like about this is that the series has to end on the second book, which is the book that I'm reading because I was really looking forward for this series to have at least 4 books. But a great story has to end some time, no matter how great it really is. I will enjoy the story while it lasts!

Jsanford5,
Nice! LOVING IT!
fwbougher,
Oooooh! Interesting!
I am currently reading The 39 Clues Beyond the grave, i am on pg 90 chapter 11. one thing I like about this book is that its lot of action. And at the end of some chapters it leaves me hanging so that makes me want to read more. one thing i really dont like about the book is that it has short chapters.
@fwbougher keep up the good work on your blogs
@jsanford5 nice blog
I am currently on page 104, on the book "Almost Home" by Joan Bauer. One specific thing that I really like about the book is that it has some really funny parts but it also has some sad parts. An example is "Shush lifts his leg and pees on the mans shoe— he deserves it, in my opinion." Also Reba the mom says that her friend Evie Said they could stay with her in Chicago but later we find out that she was lying. One specific thing I don't like about the book is that they made Reba turn kinda bad and in the beginning they made her sound really nice.
@ecarter4
You forgot to capitalize your "I"s
@jkim4 great job!
The book that I am reading is called “Lost in the river of grass” by Ginny Rorby and I just finished the book. One specific thing I like about this book is whenever Sarah and Andy encounter an alligator or a snake, it makes the book interesting and it makes me want to keep reading. Or when they saw an airboat near them they had to be sneaky so they wouldn’t get caught. One thing that I don’t like about the book is that there are only two main characters in the book. If there were more than two characters in the book I think it would have been a lot better.
ecarter4: mice blog but you forgot to capitalize some words
Jsanford5: cool sounds interesting
I am reading The Last Apprentice Curse of the bane by Joseph Delaney and I am on page 71. One thing I really like about my book is the journeys the spook and Thomas go on. I like the little conversations they have and I'm not sure why, they are just written so well. One thing I don't like is the character Alice. She isn't funny or interesting or anything, she just brings the book down and I found myself wanting to skip the parts when she was in the story.
@Jsanford5
I used to read mystery books all the time, they are so awesome!
@csweinberg6
I don't want my book to end either!
THE UNDERDOGS BY MIKE LUPICA page 50. I like the characters because they seem like very cool and funny charcters.And I don't like how there's girl that can kick better than the boys at football.And the book I'm reading is about football. And a boy and a girl.
Jsanford5 nice book!
Fwbougher nice book!
I'm reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli, and I'm on page 215. So far I've enjoyed this because of its realistic teenage story. I feel like it's a story that I can get more into because it's a story that I could see happening in mine or a friends life,family emergencys, crushes, and friendship issues. One thing I haven't really enjoyed is at times the story can become slow and eventless. Although the issue always seems to be changed when big events occur, there are moments where the story can be slow. Moments like before his chess tournament nothing really happens but the tournament provided a big twist when Will's sister had her emergency.
@fwbougher The game itself always has had a cool story I bet your book is awesome. I'd love to know more about it.
@MPickles6 Order of the Phoenix is by far my favorite of the movies and definitely my favorite part of the story(besides the Deathly Hallows) of all the books. Being a fan of the book and movie i can definitely agree with what you said!
I am reading Heat by Mike Lupica and I am on page 156. The thing I most like about the book is that it is very realistic as in the choices a twelve year old kid in the book are the some of the same decisions I would have made. I also like how there is a baseball factor in the book which I can relate to very well. The things I dislike about the book are that it isn't always descriptive enough in certain situations. The book on my beliefs are amazing.
fwbougher: I love halo.
amoskalenko5: Great Blog!
I am reading Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki and I am on page 162. The one thing I like about my book is that is it scary and mysterious and I like those kinds of books. I like them because that interest me and make me get me scared: which I like. A thing I don't like about my book is that it is not all on section it is broken up in to like mini books which is kind of distracting and annoying. Also it is confusing because it will go from one story to another which then you can get confused.
I am currently reading The Land of The Sliver Apples by Nancy Farmer and I am on page 255. One thing that I love about my book is how the main character (named Jack) handles all the responsibility and high stress situations with ease and grace. The thing i don't really like about my book though is that, since Jack has soooo much responsibility (including stoping the end of the world) he's not a very relatable character. Even though he's not very relatable he's a very cool hero.
@fwbougher sounds like a good book.
@csweinberg that book is really good.
I'm reading The ultimate hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams,and i've just started it. One specific thing i favor about my book is the technology.
The book is sci-fi so the devices are always incredible and add plenty of humour. One thing I despise about my book is the vast setting. The story takes place over such long distances it is hard to visualize the place.
jmiller3... Really impressive, nice!
fwbougher... I like it, seems ineresting keep up the good work!
I am reading Godless by Pete Hautman I am on page 97. One thing I like about this book is how the characters interact with each other. Each character has a relationship with another there are five characters with different lives and roles in the book. The main character is the one to tie everyone up with each other to make there group successful. One thing I do no not like about the book is that the book gets boring in some parts and it stays on the same topic.
@fwbougher good job seems like a really cool book but you forgot the author's name.
I am reading love maybe? by Heather Hepler. I am currently on pg. 193. One of the reasons I like this book is because of the complete and undivided friendship between three girls trying to help each other out.One of the reasons I hate! this book is how its sooo sappy in the end!. "YES! I know you found true love but does it really matter it's a dang book!"
jsanford5 and csweinberg6 i love your books!
@Aparker5 Great job explaining the book I have heard of it before.
I am currently reading “Between the Lines” by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. I’m on pages 137 of 352. I like this book because it’s talking about a teenage girl reading a fairy tale but the book comes to life. The characters start moving and talking o n the page. I love this because it’s like having a TV in the book. I don’t like that the book has 2 different narrators and then the actual story. The narrators are Delilah and Oliver. Then the actual book happens as well. I don’t like this because it just gets me confused a little bit, but the overall book is unique and I like it a lot.
fwbougher nice job
jsanfor5 sounds like a good book.
I am currently reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen, I am on page 92.
What I like about my book is the fact that there is multiple characters and it bounces back and fourth throughout the story between them. The characters in the book are easy to relate to because they're of similar age and interests.
So far in this book there is nothing I have found that I do not enjoy. I feel a connection with the characters, geography, and the story. If there is one thing I don't like its that I don't read enough each night.
@MPickles6 I like how your response is really detailed and that it has a lot more then 5 sentences!
@cmcknight4 I love how you talked about how you don't like going through those "boring" parts in the book. I feel like its something a lot of us can relate to when reading a book.
I'm currently reading Lockwood and co and I am on page 254 almost done yesss seems like forever and the author is Jonathan stroud.the one thing I like about this book is that they are in London, investigating the supernatural. And that they get to in these huge mansions and house's. And they get to see they other side of the world like when u die which is creepy. And they get to travel places.The thing's I don't like about the book is they have to risks there lives to get the supernatural things out the house or place. That's really it but I like the book cause it's interesting and keeps the reader reading.
@Dwhite3 I think you need more period's. but other then that u have a good post about your book. And good job at explaining your details.
@rabram2 you have great details and you explained yourself. And good sentences.
good job on your blog it was well written Bmcphadden5
haha good job on your blog dkeaton4 I like how you started it.
I'm currently reading All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn I'm on page 116. One specific thing I like about my book is how it's really mysterious. I love how it's really mysterious because it sets the mood of the book, there's a twist, or something unexpected. Which draws you to the book even more leaving even more excitement. But one specific thing i don't like about this book is how it's not very/extremely detailed. I don't like hoe it's not very detailed because it doesn't make it all that scary, it's scary just not having you off the edge of your seat or something scary and it just makes it seem like another paranormal book and not one that stands out or one that you would want to reread over and over again.

@zgraham24. Nice job on your blog, descriptive
@lpozos5 true, I wouldn't like that part about the book either but good job on your blog
The book I am currently reading is called the raft by S.A. Bodeen and I am on page 124. One thing I love about my book is that it gives very valid dicriptions in every sene, and it gives you a chance to learn a lot about that charchter. One thing I don't like about my book is that it is very difficult to tell reather the mood . When it is hard to tell the mood of a story you don't always have a better understanding of it and you don't know which context you should read it in. Overall, I really enjoy my book and It is not something I would agin but I would deinitely recommend some one else to read it.
Great example @babram2
I am currently reading One for the Murphy’s by Lynda Mullaly Hunt and I am on page 214. One things I really like about this book is that it is told from Carley’s perspective. I like this because it tells me exactly how she feels and it makes it easier for me to understand. One thing I don’t really like about the book, is that she unds up moving back with her original mom. I don’t like it because the Murphy's have actually treated her well with care, unlike her mom who has gotten some of her clothes from the dump.
nacrawford6. good job on you post. You had many descriptive details. Keep up the good work.
kyesbik6. I have read that book and I totally agree.
I am currently reading Football Genius by Tim Green and I am on page 76. One thing that I like about my book is that it is about football. I really like sports books so this book is a really good choice for me. I have been a Gator fan all my life. One thing that I don't like about my book is the character Jamie. He is the bully in the book. Troy and Jamie made a bet about who would win a football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons. If the Falcons won then Troy would get a signed football. If Jamie won then he would get a Falcons football. But when Troy lost and couldn't get Jamie the football in time Jamie said, "The last goober that welched on me got bumped around in the hallways pretty good," Jamie said, smirking. That shows that he is a bully. That is why I do not like Jamie.
rabram2 That sounds like a book that I want to read
kyesbik6 Nice blog :)
I am on pg 117 of the book Cover Up by John Feinstein. One specific thing i like about my book is this line,"Susan Carol starred at him for a long second as if measuring a response.Go to hell Stevie she finally said and turned away." I picked this quote because its brings out a side of Susan that she has never experienced in her life. Something i dont like about the book is that it carrys out all the ideas. Like i read a paragraph and then summarized it and it was just Stevie racing Brennab.
I agree nice blog @kyesbik6. You too TJohnson4
I am currently reading comeback kids by Mike Lupica, and i am on page 180. One thing i don't like about my book is that sometimes i cant understand who is talking in the quotes. One thing that I like about my book is that its about football. I like this book because i play football and i enjoy it.
My book is called the Cover Up the author is John Feinstein and I am done with the book. One reason I like the book is because it's about football. I play football so that is one reason I like football. One reason that I don't like the book is because it takes to long to develop. The story is very detailed in everything that's why it takes to long to develop.
I like your book vnelson2.
raberham2 sounds like a good book
kyesbik6 nice blog
I am currently reading Mike Lupica's comeback kids. I am on page 180. One thing I really like about my book is that its about football and I enjoy the sport. One thing I don't like about it is that sometimes I cant understand who's talking in the quotes.
@gwbougher great repsonse.
@JSanford5 sounds like a good book
The current title of my book is the Breaker Boys By Pat Hughes and Im on pg. 155. The part of the book I really like is the part where Bobby and Timmy both help put together a toy called the bolder. A part that I don't like is when the boys failed the project of to get a board to help a lady with her house. The book is a good book to read that's why I like it. I recommend this book because its a fantastic book.
gpettit2 id good but it didn't have enough sentences.
The book I am reading is Try and Get Me by Taylor Fell, and I completley finished the book. One this I loved about the book was that it is hilarious. I was always laughing while reading it. But on the other hand something I didn't like about it was that it was quite confusing at times. I wouldn't understand what they meant and it was hard to understand what was going in sometimes. But all together I enjoyed reading the book very much.
@gpettit2 good job!!
@jstandford5 sounds interesting! Nice job!!
I am currently reading Storm Breaker by: Anthony Horowitz. one part of my book that I favor is the constant action that Alex faces in the journey to prove that his uncles death was a set up. I love that I can relate to some of Alex's problem since we are in the same age group. One of the things I do not like about the book is it feels like it jumps around a little to much, when I'm reading my book it could be talking about rideing to go somewhere get there and jump to a whole new place. For the most part this is one of the best books I have ever read.
@Kmanderino5
Wow finished already great job..
@jstandford5
Great job on the blog..
I am currently finished with A Sudden Light and the author is Garth Stein. I really like how this book includes some history that is real. I also like how instead of the ghost being fake the ghosts are actually real. I don't like how some of the chapters don't have any useful information and all they do is make the book longer.
the book that i am reading is the maze runner by James Dashner. the one thing i don't like is when Adam gets to the maze, everyone treats him like they don't want him there.
I was reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen and I actually finished my book. What I really liked was how nothing made sense at the beginning and I saw it as useless information, but then at the end all the information adds up. What I really didn't like was all the dialogue parts and parts I could space out at. They weren't very entertaining.Over all though the book was great!
@Jsanford5 Great blog! Mystery books are cool.
@fwbougher Sounds like a great book! I like Halo but I suck at it.
I am reading Hunger Games Catching Fire, I am currently on page 68 chapter 5. One thing i like about the book is that the action and the story line follow a good plot. It also follows a surprise plot twist in the middle of the story. One thing i don't like is that the story throws so many things at you all at once which i feel confuses people a bit. I am certain the book has many surprising plot twist and i am curious for what is next.
I am reading 'i even funnier' by James Patterson i am done with the book and I've read it three times.One thing about my book I specifically like is the characters passion in living as a kid comic. I think its a smart way to live your career, dedicated to what your doing is an ideal model for people. One thing I don't enjoy about my book is how the jokes that are written in the book aren't actually that funny they are more bland. But, I guess thetas just my perspective. Maybe I need the jokes said to me rather than told to me in a book. I hope you go read this book but this is the second in the series so first get 'I funny' by James Patterson and read that before you go on to this book.
jsanford5 great post it sounds like an interesting book
fwbougher i completely agree.
@fwbougher
nice blog its long and descriptive! Your doing very well.
@aachristian4
Nice job on the blog but watch out for your caps-lock.lol
I am reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rolling. I really like that the story line is rich and the characters interesting. What I don't like about it is the fact that as the series goes on the story seems to go down hill. Like the further the story goes the less intriguing it is. It's kinda hard to explain but you should get the general idea.
That's cool Dgreek5
That's sounds awesome rabram2
I'm currently reading the Last shot by John Freinstein.I'm on page 200. One thing i do like about my book is that it has to do with basketball andsomeone wanting to be successful. I love basketball and books with dream chasers. One thing I don't like my book is that it has mystery in it and I'm not a big fan of mystery books.
