1 – 200 of 222 Newer› Newest»I am currently reading Starters by Lissa Price and I am on page 184. I am loving how this story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where a few wars called the Spore Wars wiped out everybody between the age of twenty and sixty. I don’t love how some of the Starters or kids sell their bodies to renters that are Enders or old people who want be young again to use their bodies. I love that the main character is putting her live on the line to help out her brother who has a disease that may or may not kill him. I don’t love that the main character has to kill somebody to protect the world but the Voice of her renter is telling her that she knows this person will endanger the world but Callie, the main character, doesn’t want to kill this person because she doesn’t trust the Voice.
I am reading the book Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell and I am on page 65. I really like this book because I can really relate to the main character Nikki. Nikki is a dork, like me, and we both have awkward moments when we're around people. Sometimes I can relate to Nikki because we don't know what to say in front of our crushes or someone says something so mean it just ruins our day. Nikki has to deal with the mean girl Mackenzie, she has to do crazy, insane things with her BFFs and she tries to win Brandon's heart. It's really fun to read about all of Nikki's crazy adventures and insane things she does just to get Brandon to like her. For the mini project, I'm doing the collage because it would be fun to cut out pictures from magazines and glue them onto a poster.
@rohlendorf2 that's really cool.
The book Im reading now is My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. I am on page 31.
so far i'm really enjoying my book. It focuses on many topics and ideas that i am very interested in. Topics like the declining state of society, and the idea that there may be some alien species that can teach us how to live peacefully with each other. for the mini project I'm doing the collage. i think that it would be easy, but also fun to use pictures to represent the true, and deep meaning of this book.
@ RRaisch6
indeed
@rohlendorf2
cool! I have a thing for post-apocolyptic stories. Fallout is what really got me into the whole genre of sci fi apocolypses.
@fwbougher amazing
I am currently reading Cat among the pigeons by Julia Golding, i am in page 77. What i like about the book is that Cat and Pedro have a nice friendship they always help each other. Cat and Pedro dance at the Royal thearer , and it is nice to hear how they describe their dance moves. What I do not like about the book is that Pedro is a black slave and the book takes place in the 60's (the civil rights movement) and his owner wants him , but he refuses to live with the man. I think i will do the collage and the timeline for the mini project.
@rolendorf nice book!
@rraich6 I read that book bedore is awesome isn't it?
I'm reading Daniel X by James Patterson and am currently on page 57. So far I've really enjoyed the book, I like how the author gave the main character Daniel the superpower to create whatever he wants. The only thing I don't like is sometimes the author dost really make t clear when he is creating things or if its real life. For the mini project I'm thinking about doing the timeline or the collage. The time line because its kind of easy and I liked doing them, and the collage because I like pictures and describing things with them.
@RRaisch6 Great Job!
@Rohlendorf2 Interesting book!
I am reading "Bad Girls Don't Die" by Katie Alender and I am on page 30. I love how the book already has a lot of action in it. Most books start out very slow at first but this book gets to the point. I am going to do the collage as my mini project. I like the idea of representing a book by only pictures. So far the book has many interesting scenes I could draw.
RRaisch6 That sounds like a great book.
fwbougher You did a good job on your blog!
The book I am reading is comeback kids. The author is Mike Lupica. I am on page 46. I love the way the book starts off as a young little nerd who has this secret ability in football. I am doing the collage. I like the idea of presenting your book in the form of pictures.
ive read that book before rraisch6 great job
great job rolendorf2
i am reading "I am a seal team-six warrior, and the authors are Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin, and i have read this whole book. The thing i love about this book is that it's about navy seals and the army (and i enjoy to learn about the navy or army). And i also enjoy it because it can be used as an informative story so you can learn more about the navy seals and their "War Plans" and the battles they fought. But i mostly enjoy this book because its about 2 of my most favorite things. Guns and battles, and now i know there was actually a real battle called "The battle of Mogadishu".
Interesting post @DDallas5
interesting-sounding book
@Vnelson2
I am reading Ghost of War by Ryan Smithson, I am on page 35. I love how deep and how much action this book has. It is telling the story of a real life 19 year old who was stationed in the army. He is describing what is around him and his whole story about joining the Army and what is happening while he is in the Army.
@RRaisch6 nice blog book sounds interesting for anyone who likes adventure.
@Accook your book sounds very interesting.
I am currently reading Chomp by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 13. Even though I just started this book, I already like it. My favorite part of this book is the fact that the main characters live with tons of wild animals in their backyard. I'm not loving how the father is injured right now. He got a major concussion from a dead iguana falling from a tree. For the mini project, I'm going to do the collage because I will be able to put tons of pictures of pretty animals.
rohlendorf2, great blog!
fwbougher, good job!
I am currently reading Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly, and I am on page 45. The book is about mermaids, in fact, it even has a mermaid on the cover. This is what I like about my book, I have been obsessed with mermaids ever since I knew what they were. What I really don't like about my book is the whole situation with royalty. Typically, when it comes to reading books, I have a hard time comprehending the whole royalty situations. Each story involving royalty tends to contain different traditions, different etiquette, different styles, etc. Now, for the independent reading project I plan to do the collage. I've only just started my book today and I already have some really good and creative ideas. My only hope is that I can be resourceful as possible with my ideas.
Nice blog! @RRaisch6
@VNelson2 James Patterson has a lot of great books. If you really like the one you're reading you, you should check out some of the other books he wrote!
I am currently reading Framed by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 37. What I am loving about my book is that it is involved with football. What I am disliking about this book is that its moving so slow. In Korman's other books the action starts pretty quick. I think I am going to do the collage for my mini project.
snturner3: good job keep up the good work
jsmith4: good job keep up the work
I'm reading The Line by Teri Hall and on page 16. What I love about the book so far is that it's very different from a lot of other book then the books I read in the past. I what I don't love about is that it is very boring at the beginning and hard to keep on reading but after the first the chapter it gets good. And for the mini project I'm thinking of a collage. Or maybe the plot line but still undecided.
@RRaisch6 Good Job :D
@ROhlen2 Nice work
i am currently reading " the year my parents ruined my life" and im on page 5. i just got this book and i like it because its more for teens than adults which is my type of book. i will choose the timeline for this book because i just think it would be best and fits right in this book. i haven't read much but ill soon understand later in the book.
great job at answering your blog DRivera6.
wonderful job at answering the blog RRaich6

I plan on doing the collage because it is very interesting to do for a post-apocalyptic book. I need to redo my blog because the original didn’t have what mini project I would do.
My book is "The Man In the Box' by Mary Lois Dunn and i am currently on page 37. I love that my book is taking place a long time ago and the main character Chau Li can relate to the man in the box. I also love how Chau Li is trying to help the man in the box escape no matter what his punishment would be.
I am currently reading one for the murphy's by Lynda mullaly hunt. I am on page 51. I like this book because it has a real emotional feeling, and can make you feel what the book is trying to express. In the book a girl has to go to a foster parent because her mom cant take care of her but she doesn't really understand why she is there, her mom gets drunk all the time and gambles, she also has a newly abusive husband. For the mini project I will be doing the collage, I think I could express the book more in pictures.
nice details rohlendorf2
nice blog RRaisch6
I am reading Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, and I am on page 37. I am not very far into my book yet, but I already know I am going to love getting to know the world that the author created. Because the book is post-apocalyptic, a lot has changed from what the world is like now, and I can't wait to learn about the changes in society. I also really like the mystery the author has already created in the book. I believe I will be doing the Timeline for my mini-project because I already know a lot of events to put on it, and I think it would also be fun.
VNelson2: Your book sounds interesting.
fwbougher: Nice job.
I am currently on page 216 of the book Flawless by Sara Shepard. The part that I love about the book so far is that its mysterious and "A" is already texting and threatening Aria, Hanna, Emily and Spencer. "A" is also one thing I love about the book because I don't know who "A" is yet and not knowing is aggravating but its also part of the fun. I love how when "A" texts one of them they get all freaked out. I also like it when they guess who "A" is but it really isn't that person. The mini project I'm thinking about doing for this book is the plot timeline because there are a lot of good and bad important events in this book.
@RRaisch6 thats cool how you relate to the main character!
@ddallas5 good job!
The book that i am reading is called the boy at the end of the world by Greg van Eekhout.i am currently on page 25 of this book. what I love about this book is that it has a post apocalyptic yet futuristic touch to it.i don't like how the main character Fisher, is born though (its kind of gross)but i like how he meets this robot that was born to protect him.i later find out that the robot's name is Click. the mini project I am thinking about doing for this story is the story timeline because i think that this is the perfect project for this book.
Great job on that blog jsanford5! keep it up!
your book sounds interesting RRaisch6,great job !
I am currently reading Downt Town Boy by Juan Felipe Herra and i am on page 16. I love this book because its very "sporty like". what i mean by that is its full of sport events. the boy in the book is boxer for a teenage league. for the ir project i think i will do the timeline.
I am reading Torment by Lauren Kate and I am on page 128. I am loving that Luce has to go to the new school and that she is curious. She is curious about the shadows and after her teachers tell her not to mess with them she goes into the woods and does exactly what her teachers told her not to. That makes things interesting. I don't like that her roommate Shelby and her don't get along. I think the story would be better if the actually liked each other. I am doing the collage mini project because I think it would be the easier one to do and also the most fun one.
RRaisch6: Nice blog.
rohlendorf2: I hope you like that book. I did. nice comment.
The book im currently reading is small as an elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and im page 36. I am enjoying by book so far. my book is about a boy name jack who wakes up on the first morning of their camping trip and notice that she gone. Its now up to him to find her. I like how he's independent and tries to survive in these rough conditions. For my mini-project im think about doing the collage. Its looks fun to do and it will fit my book very well.
Jsanford5- next time try to fo 5 sentences, but nice work on your blog.
OYakel4- amazing job on your blog and keep up the good work!
I am finished reading the third book of the land of stories series by Chris Colfer. I am finished with this book. I really love this book and think that their should be a second one. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy and adventure all in one.
nice comment @rohlendorf2 and @rraisch6
I am finished reading the third book in The Land Of Stories series by Chris Colfer. In this book the author takes fairytale creatures and completely switches their personalities. From my perspective this was great choice on his part and love the idea. I recommend this book to anyone who is willing to read a book with fantasy and adventure.
p.s.- Mrs. A Thomas please excuse my other post. My mom saw it and made me re do it.
I am reading Ungifted by Gordon Korman and I am on page 11. I am not loving how much the main character Donovan Curtis is getting into trouble so much. I am loving that Donavan enjoys his friends a lot. I love how much his friends know him. For the mini project I think am going to do the collage.
lpozos5 good job!
RRaisch6 great job!
I am currently reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen and am on page 28. I really like how this book takes place in the Keys. It takes place in Florida so I can relate to it easier. I don’t like how this book starts off with this girl Noah’s dad in jail for blowing up a boat. I think I will be doing the collage for the first Independent reading project.
good job @rraish6
nice post! @jsmith4
The book I am currently reading is called, “33 Minutes” by Todd Hasak-lowy and I am on page 17. I like the fact that the main character, Sam Lewis, has enthusiasm about learning and studying. Also, he is very curious and laughable during classes and breaks. However, I don’t like the scene that his friends humiliates him when he participates during class. I assume that it’s mainly because he talks a lot. In addition, I think I will choose to do collage because I enjoy drawing and cutting pictures.
@rraisch6 Love your book! Great details.
@amountain4 Good job!
I am currently reading "Don't Pass Go" by: Kirkpatrick Hill. i am on page 30.I don't like reading in general but what i don't like specifically about this book is that the main character, Deet is just a geek to me. All he ever does is try and organize things,do extra work even if there will be no extra credit just because he feels like it. I Wouldn't like this kid if he went to my school. He even corrected his own mother for saying a word in the wrong tense of language! I am not entirely sure what mini-project i will choose but it will either be the collage or the timeline.
@asizer3
you did a fantastic job angie
@skunklersulaica3
awesome job
I am currently on the book "The Kidnappers" by Willo Davis Roberts, page 77. I am loving how much mystery and how fast-paced it is.There is always another plot twist that is so intriguing. I do not love how young the main character is. The main character is Joel, who is 11. Because osf Joels young age, many people do not believe him about the kidnapping, and say he is just imagining it. This really irritates me because age will not change whether you saw a kidnapping or not, it is completely ridiculous.
@rohlendorf
good job!
@RRaisch
good job!
I am currently reading The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis. I am on page 56. So far I’m absolutely loving this book. I really liked the movie but never read the book. I love the plot of the story, like how the 2 kings and queens return to Narnia by a distress call from a Prince to help defeat his evil Uncle who wants to rule Narnia. I find it outstanding how the children have only been away for a year, but in Narnia, it has been hundreds of years. I can’t wait to read more! For my Mini-Project, I decided I would do the collage because it seems very creative to do.
rohlendorf2
Great Blog!
VNelson2
Sounds Great!
I'm currently reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, and I'm currently on page 5. I'm loving how the book starts off with the main character David, talking about all the amazing and dangerous adventures he's been on. Additionally, the book also starts off with a lot of suspense and drama, with his father dying and David's own uncle backstabbing him. I'm doing the collage, because it would be something fun to do.
amountain4:Great job!
amountain4: Great job!!
SHenderson4: Nice blog!
I'm currently reading "My brother is a big fat lier" by James Patterson. I'm on page 20. I like this book because it explains the details in a entertaining way and it is humerus. For the mini project I'm going to do the book leads.
Shenderson4 good job!
Bmcbride5 good job!
Currently I am reading “Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets” by J.K. Rowling. I am on page 135. What I love the most about my book is how there is a magical element to the real world, also how all the muggles try to make out that every magical thing they see was a trick of the light, or some odd way of describing something that shouldn’t be able to happen. I will most likely be doing the collage. Because I think that it would be a fun project to do.
@jsmith4 - I've read that book, it's pretty good
@rohlendorf2 - I really want to read the book now
I am currently reading the book cover-up mystery of the Super Bowl and im now on page 39. What im not loving right now is that I thought this booke was going to be about football. Instead its about two people getting jobs like ESPN and going to the super bowl to interview people.im doing the book lead because this book has a lot of stuff that makes me feel stuff.
rraisch6 and rohlendorf2 good job
My book is Ever More by Alyson Noel and I'm on page 53. What I like about my book so far is how the author is developing the story and the character development so far. Also how the author actually portray the characters. For my mini project I'm most likely going to do a collage. It seems really fun and interesting project, also I never done a collage so trying something new might be fun.
OYakel4 Great job on the blog!
rohlendorf2 Nice Blog!
I am reading "Ender's Game"by Orson Scott Card and i'm on page 281. I am loving how my book has action in it. I love the action in the book because action is the only thing that keeps me reading the book. What I don't love about my book is that it takes place in space for most of the time, because the setting is confined to a smaller space in the space ship. For the mini project I will most likely do the timeline because it is really easy to do.
@RRaisch6 good blog keep up the good work.
@rohlendorf2 sounds like a good book by that setting I might read it.
I am currently reading 13 hangmen by Art Corriveau and I am on page 25. I am so far not really loving this book. I am not loving this book because I don't really understand it. It starts out in the present day then some how like 100 years in the past. For the mini project I am going to do the collage because I can think of a lot of pictures i could put on the poster.
nice blog! @rolendorf2
ive read that! nice blog! @rraisch6
I am currently reading D ivergent by Veronica Roth. I am on page 20. What I love about this book is that it is different for me because I normally love reading realistic fiction, this book isn’t. I decided that I would wait until I am farther in the book to decide which mini project I will do. I am probably going to do the collage.
Dgreek5 great job on your blog… of coarse you wouldn’t like the geek.
Bmcbride5 good job!!
The book I am reading is called The O'Reilly Factor by Bill O'Reilly and Charles Flowers and I am on page 37. I am loving the book overall. It teaches about things in life, also I don't really like to read but in this book I actually want to read it! It is a great book and I love the lessons it teaches. I am going to do the book leads project.
Nice rohlendorf2
Cool fwbougher
the book I am currently reading is The underdogs by Mike Lupica. i am on page 93. The thing i'm not liking about the book is how slow it's going. It took the author 50 pages to describe one detail. The project I will be doing is collage. It's easy and will be fun to use pictures.
good blog @jwitter6
nice blog @bmcbride5
I am Reading The Last Apprentice Attack of the Fiend By Joseph Delaney and I am on page 61. This is a book in a series that I have been reading this whole year so far and I'm enjoying them. The last two books where good and so is this one. I plan on reading the others too. I will be doing the collage project.
@rohlendorf2 Good Job!
@RRaisch6 Great Blog
I am reading "The youngest Templar" by Michael P. Spradlin and I am on page 91. So far I have really enjoyed this book because of all the adventure in it. This book has a lot of action, adventure, and a little bit of mystery for anyone who is interested in those types of books. For my mini project I am thinking about doing the collage because I think it would be a fun idea to do. Also it would probably be the easiest for me to do.
RRaisch6: nice blog!
VNelson2: sounds interesting!
I'm currently reading the book Graceling by Kristin Cashore genre fantasy fiction and page 306. I'm going to use the plot timeline project. I chose the plot one because its simple for a book with so many important events happening that this would make it easier to understand. Also better then choosing the book leads option. Ill use the third option for another book sometime soon.
rohlendorf2: Good job on five sentences but no details on what project you chose.
RRaisch6: Agian great sentences but no discussion of the question the blog demands.
I am reading To Heaven and Back by Mary C. Neal, MD and I'm on page 135. One thing I don't like about my book is that Mary, the narrator and main character of my book, did not spend a whole lot of time in heaven. She drowned by a kayak accident and then went to heaven and she didn't even meet God! But what I like is that she recovered after she came back to Earth. For my Mini-Project I am doing the collage. I drawing so this will be easy for me.
To rohlendorf2,
Nice blog! Keep it up!
To RRaisch6,
I love your blog! Nice Job!
I am currently reading Shooter by Walter Dean Myers and on page 35. I love how the book is sorta written in a transcript way.The book is suppose to be a recorded interview. The main characters friend gets shot and the police are questioning him, and asking hi all these questions about his friend. Im going to do the collage because it would be cool to search up pictures for my book and cutting them up!
@RRaisch6 Thats funny how you and Nikki have that type of stuff in common.(not trying to be mean)
@Rohlendor2 That boo sounds really cool!
My book is One For the Murphy's by Lynda Hunt.I love how realistic it is.I believe I'm probably going to do the collage as my project because it is interesting and sounds fun.
Mmercodo6 nice book it sounds interesting
I am currently reading Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks. I am on page 133. I love how descriptive the author is. It improves the book a lot. I am going to be doing the book leads mini project.
@rohlendorf2 Sounds like a good book.
@VNelson2 Sounds like an interesting book!
The book I am currently reading is “Legend” by Marie Lu. I’m on page 83 of 305. I love this book because it has danger and excitement in it. I don’t love this book because it switches from 2 characters perspectives of what is happening in the book. It just gets confusing for me. The mini project I will be doing is a collage.
rraisch6 nice work.
vnelson2 good job.
The book I'm currently reading is mystery at the army navy game the rivalry by John Feinstein and im currently on page 10.I like how its a book about a sublike I like.I will be doing the poster for the project about my book.And I also like my books title.
nice book rraisch6
Great book vnelson2
I am reading “The red Pyramid” by Rick Riordan and I am on page 49. One thing that I like about my book is that it is every mysterious and action packed. But, one thing that I don’t like about my book is that it is written in a journal-like entry and it is kind of annoying when reading it. Also, the plot is every complicated. For my mini-project I will do the Plot timeline because it seems simple and something that I can enjoy.
I am currently reading November blues by Sharon Draper and I'm page 40.the only think that I mostly like about my book is that It's mature and has a LOT of ups and Downs conflicting in the story with high school drama with dramatic effects which gets really intense.And what I'm not liking about this book that it doesn't really describe what happens to some of the people in the book and it jumps to chapters quick.The mini project I chose was the time line Because you could give the goods and bads of the scenes in the book which seem fun.
@Jmagnus4
good blog
@MMERCADO6
GOOD DETAILS AND BLOG
Great job @rohlendorf2 sounds good.
I am reading The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine. I am on page 175 out of 298. I am loving that even though it is in the 50s the two girls Marlee (the white girl) and Liz (the black girl) are best friends and are willing to break the law of segregation to be best friends. It shows that no matter what skin color that you are there will always be that one person that has your back and loves you for you. Also I will be choosing the collage mini project.
great job!rohlendorf2
@RRaisch6 Excellent keep up the good work.
amazing work! VNelson6
I am reading Baseball Great by Tim Green and am currently on page 27. What I love about the book is that the book is about baseball. I am going to do the collage because I feel it is the most creative. For the most part I like everything about the book.Josh the main character is very passionate about baseball.
I am reading The Finisher by David Baldacci and am on page 7. What I am not loving about my book so far is the misinterpretation so far. In the beginning of the book it makes you think that they're going to be straight to the point. And while they explained a good handful of things, they were not straight to the point. The mini-project I'm going to be doing for the book I am reading is collage. Collage- create a collage using pictures, words, creative items, etc. that represents your book. This needs to be creative and worthy of being hung up on the wall.
@rohlendorf2- Great job
@RRaisch6- Cool
I am reading, I am the cheese by Robert Cormier i am on page 26. What I am loving about this book is that it feels like a true story. I am doing the time-line mini project for the book. What I don't love about the book pretty much nothing.What else I love about the book is that it pretty dang cool.
I am currently reading "Lock and Key" by Sarah Dessen and I am on page 37. I love the book so far because it already has a lot going on in it and its not starting off slow. The book talks about how the main character has to move to her sisters house but she hasn't seen her sister in 10 years so that already gives the book some conflict. I am considering the collage because I already love making them and I believe it would be a lot of fun!
@vnelson2 great job!
@jsmith4 loved it!
The book I am currently reading is "The underdogs" by MIke lupica. I am on page 45. The thing im loving about this book is that everyone is calling them the underdogs, until they show they ar'nt. I am going to do the collage because I think its thoughtful.
great job RRaisch6.
sounds interesting. rohlendorf2
I am reading Assassin's Creed: Foresaken by Oliver Bowden and I'm on page 57. I am loving the history so far. I am not loving that they are not in the colonies yet. I also hate that it is about Haytham and not Ratonhnhaké:ton. I am going to do a collage.
rohlendorf2 good job.
RRaisch6 good job.
I am currently reading the adventures of tom sawyer by mark twain. I am currently on page 118 and so far i am liking the book. I like it because it mixes things up with the story so there is more verity. the topic i am doing is the plot timeline.
Nice rohlendorf2 and RRaish6
I am currently reading The Kill Order by James Dashner and I'm currently on page 16. What I am loving about the book so far is the bit of humor and action. Also it gives great details about how and why things happened the way it did. The mini project I'm going to do is the collage mini project for my first independent reading book. I chose that project because I think this mini project will be fun to do and easy.
Jsanford5 nice job but do 5 sentences next time
Lpozos5 good job keep it up
I am currently reading Zoobreak by Gordon Korman and I am currently on page.18. what I am loving about the book is that it has humor so far in the book. I'm thinking about doing the collages, but I don't yet
keep up the good work @dwrask
Good blog @dsmith4
The book I am reading is called Chupacarbra by Roland Smith. I am currently on page 10, I have not been reading it that much lately. I like the book so far because it has my interest of wild animals in it. I think I'm doing a collage, it's the easiest one
Cool ecarter4
Nice Dwrask
I am reading "small as an elephant" by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am on page 30. What I like about this book is the book cover because it is cute and funny. Everyone knows that elephants are big, but it says "small as an elephant" on the book cover. Also, I love this book because it is a easy book to read. Some books are hard to read and hard to understand, but this book is easy to understand .The makes the reader understand easily. For the mini project I am going to do the Collage because I think this book would be good for the Collage.
@rohlendorf2 I want to read that book great!
@RRaisch6 Interesting book! good job!!

Rraish6 very nice
I am currently reading Million Dollar throw by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 34. I love that I can relate to the book because of the sports aspect. Also he is around my age and thinks a lot like me. I am doing the collage on the mini project. The reason why is because I believe that is the best project for me.
rohlendorf2: Great blog.
RRaisch6: That's very interesting!
I am currently reading Dead City by James Ponti, and I am on page 24. I don't like the book so far because it has not gotten into action yet. It has been quite boring for the first 20 pages. The projects I am going to be doing is a timeline and a collage. I picked those two because they both fit in with the book.
nice job rohlendorf2
nice job RRaisch6
My book is called Trails and Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake and I am on page 82. The thing I don't love about my book is the pace. I feel like the book is going so slow and that the climax is going to be near the end instead of the middle. However, one thing I love about my book is the use of six main characters. It allows you to look at the book from all different perspectives. The project I am going to be doing for this book is the collage.
@RRaisch6
Fabulous Blog!
@rohlendorf2
I enjoyed reading your blog. It was great!
The book im reading is hero by Mike Lupica.The reason i like this book so much is because it has something to do with sports.Even though i dont like baseball thats much i enjoy it.The project im doing is the collage.
@cmcknight4
Good blog
I am currently reading Someone to love by Anne Schraff. I am on page 20. I thing i love about this book is the drama in it. The thing i dislike is the girl Cindy Gibson is missing out on school and life. I am going to do the Collage for this book.
cmcknight4
Good Job on blog
MPickles6
Good job on blog
The book I am reading is call the boys from old Florida. I am on page 27 and is written by Buddy Martin.
cmcknight4 good blog
NJLewis I like baseball and enjoy reading i too.
I am currently reading Apothecary by Mailing Melony and i am on page 1. what i like about this book is the tone of the author and the way she describes. i really think that this is going to be a good book. For the mini project I will be doing a collage.
I am reading Torn by David Massey.The current page Im on is p35. One thing that I like about my book is the setting she's in Afiganistan with her fellow soldiers but she's surrounded by people that are innocent & bad . On the other hand one thing I don't like my book is that it seems to drag on about one topic. I have not yet decided what mini poject that I am doing.
@arrizo5 good job on your blog ! Keep up the amazing work
@Bmcpadden5 keep up on the reading ! Your book sounds very interesting. fabulous blog by the way .
I am currently reading The dangerous days of Daniel X by James Patterson. I am on pg. 34. What I am loving about the book so far is that the action starts at the begging of the book.The ir project I am doing for this book is plot timeline.
Nice blog tsfuller6
Good job arizzo5
Right now i am reading the 1st book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and i am on pg 64. I like this series because I have always loved every type of fiction. there isnt really anything that I dont like. I still dont know which project I want to do for my book.
PS. I will not be doing HP for my book
RRaisch very nice and well thought out response
rohlendorf gooad job also
i am currently reading silhouetted by the blue by Traci L. jones and im on page 58. Well i really love how Serena the main character has a deceased loved one. While it sucks to have someone you know be dead it really adds character.She constantly deals with this one way or another. either her dad or her little brother will bring it up. I dont like her friends. Nikka and Elijah. They're just annoying.
rohlendorf2.... nice blog.
fwbougher.... i like your post keep it up.
For the second nine weeks I am reading the book Hugo Cabret. The book is by Brian Selznick. I am on page 38, and I'm doing the sentence Starters. I'm loving the book I am reading because of the depth in details throughout the book. I also really like how the book is a mixture of pictures and words to explain the book more in depth.
RRaisch6: My little sister read that book and she is obsessed with it!
jsmith4: In 6th grade I had to read Chomp, and it was really good from what I remember of it.
I am currently reading Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and I am currently on page 104. I am loving the theme of the book so far, because it is a thriller. This book makes me think. I don't like how Voldemorte is trying to destroy Harry Potter. They have many conflicts and this makes the book seem more interesting. The main character Harry Potter is really interesting also because he has special powers.
@VNelson2:
Your book, Daniel X, seems really cool.
@emasio6:
I've never read that book before, seems like a great book.
I am currently reading "Big Nate on a roll" by Lincoln Peirce and I am currently on page 9. The thing i love about this book is that its funny and I can relate to Nate. One thing I Don't like about it is that the book is mostly about things that happen at school with him. I think that a plot timeline or a collage would a great mini-project to do for this book. Because there is a lot of events and memorable moments in this book.
@Vnelson2 nice blog!
@Ddallas great job
The book I am currently reading is M or F? by Lisa Papademetriou, and I am on page 77. One thing I like about the book is it is very intertaning and an easy laugh. The mini project I am thinking about doing for this book is the collage, but I am not quite sure yet.
@jmiller2 great job!!
@krtodd4 nice!!!
I am currently reading “Dead Is a Battle-Field” by Marlene Perez and I’m on page 28. So far I like that my book is very mysterious about almost every subject which keeps me wanting to read the book to know what happens next. I don’t really like that they don’t tell you later on what they were talking about, which can get a little confusing at times. I’m thinking of doing a plot timeline because there are a lot of events that have happened even though I’m not the far into the book. It may be fairly easy project to do on this book.
nice blog! i may want to read your book @kmanderino
nice blog! i may want to read your book @kmanderiono5
good job! @krtodd4
i am currently reading pretty ugly by Karyn Langhorne Folan and i am on page 36. the thing i like about my book is that it kind of reminds me of reality throughout school these days and makes me think back. the thing that i don't like about it is that the girl in the book thinks that she is ugly and everyone is downing her telling her that she should be more like her sister Darcy who had graduated the year before.The project that i may want to do is the collage, the reason i want to do that is because i like collages i don't know what it is but they amuse me. and it may be a pretty easy project to do
great job afarlin5.
nice blog kmanderino5.
I am reading I am Number 4 by Pittacus Lore, and I'm on page 56. So far I am loving the story's mix of science fiction and a modern kid's life. The main character moves around a lot which reminds me of kids i've known in the pas who have had to leave because of military parents or new jobs. Although the book at first seems a story about your everyday kid things change when he starts getting special scars and SUPER POWERS! I think for my book project I'll make the collage, because the story uses lots of details to describe the life of the main character, making it easy to picture. I think because the story's details are so easy to picture it'd be easy to draw and find pictures of the story's details, which I feel would make making a collage easy.
@RRaisch6 your book sounds like mine, your everyday character with relatable features and moments. I'm sure it'll be fun to find features that relate to your story in magazines.
@Accook your book sounds really entertaining! I love reading about times like the 60's where culture is very different yet fun to picture living in. I think either project would work well for your book too.
The current book I am reading is football champion by Pat Hughes and I am on page 45. What I love about this book is that it's talking about football and a kid who is growing up trying to make by doing something he like. This half of the nine weeks I will be doing the book leads project because it seems like you can explain more about your book to people in the leading sentences. Another thing I like about the book leading is that I don't have to think of the sentences they are already planned out for me. That's all for now until the next blog which is blog 2.
Jperkins5 did great on their summary of their book
Tfoye6 did good on her blog
I have finished the apprentices by Maile Meloy. I have greatly enjoyed the book. I might do the collage mini project. It seems creative.
@rohlendorf2 great job on your blog, you provided details well.
@RRaisch6 Good job, you also provided a good blog.
I am reading The Big Time by Tim Green, and I am on page 12. This book is the fourth book in the series that I'm reading. In every book Troy has wanted to meet his father. At the very beginning of this book Troy's father knocks on the door and is talking about how he's sorry for not visiting Troy and that he never even knew Troy existed. He is truly sorry and really wants to start a relationship with Troy. The part of my book that I don't like is that Troy's mom doesn't even give Troy's dad a chance. She just makes him leave. I don't think that was very fair to Troy or his father. I am going to do the collage for my mini project.
@RRaisch6 You did a really good job on your blog :)
@fwbougher Nice blog!
Great Response
10 Ultimate Truths Girls Should Know by Kari Kampakis is the current book i'm reading. ThIs book is an amazing book. It has done wonders for me even though i'm On page 27. Even though. This book is religous based I still love. The book discuss relationships, social problems, and friends.However, this book is still the best i think every girl should read it.
Great Blog
I am reading "the Open Window" by Lemony Snicket and I am on page 42. what I really like and enjoy about this book is that after every chapter it keeps you very suspenseful. what I don't really like about the book is how the orphans really never get a happily ever after. So far I have read the first two books from the series and the orphans were never actually happy. but what I also really like about this book is how there never is just one setting the orphans are all over the place.
The mini project that im thinking of doing is...Ti be frank i havent decided yet,but when I do I will let you know.

nice job Dnova5 great details.
great job fwbougher I love that book
I am currently reading "Don't Look Behind You" by Lois Duncan. I am on page 88. I figured this would be a good book because the title got my attention. It seemed like it would be a suspenseful, enjoyable book. What I am not loving about it is that is not the case. The book goes on forever and seems like nothing very suspenseful is going to happen. I feel like it's a very dragging, repetitive book. I hope that as I continue to read it, it will get better. I believe I am going to do the collage mini project but I am not sure yet.
|@TJohnson4 : Great blog! |
|@kmanderino5 : Nice response! |
I am still on my last book, The Underdogs by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 207. The reason why I am still reading the book is because I find it very interesting. I love how when I get done reading for the day, it keeps me wondering what is going to happen next in the book. This is a quality that I believe all books should have, and I feel that it is important if you want the readers to be interested in your book. I plan on finishing this book before I start on my book for the next independent reading project.
@RRaisch6 Good Job.
@fwbougher I'm glad you are enjoying that book
Eragon , Christopher Paolini , currently on page 240
Christopher makes Eragon believable by making it sound like he has seen him with his own eyes. Every little detail is in place from the color of his eyes to the way his hair falls. Eragon seems like he could be based off of a real life kid that Christopher saw. Christopher is so descriptive of what is going on he makes it so your mental picture is very vivid.
@Jmiller2 good job
@bmcbride5 hope your liking it
The book i am currently reading is hideout and am on pg.213. I love this book because the story line is just awesome. The antagonist a guy named swindle comes back and wants his do back from the protagonist and the protagonist and his friends decide to hide the dog from swindle. But the mini project i would do is a collage because i got a lot of ideas for it, and a lot of information. But overall i love reading this book its a very fun book to read
@sbarry2 nice blog
@gpettit2 nice blog
The book that I'm reading is called "Mockingjay Part one" by Suzanne Collins. I'm currently on page 115. Things that i love about this book is when Katniss (main character) gioes back to her district to see what it looks like after the explosion. It was very interesting because it went into so much detail and it made me feel sad and imagine what kind of pain Katniss was feeling at the time.
@kmoore okay ! good job brother ! read that book !
@rraisch6 sounds like a good book ! keep up the good blogs girl !
I am currently reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green and I am on page 188. I love that Hazel Grace(the main character) is strong even though she is diagnosed with stage 4 thyroid cancer, and that she is very intelligent. I also love that in the book there are many lessons that can be learned. I don"t like how Peter Van Houten (character in the story) is very disrespectful towards Hazel and Augustus when they visit him in Sweden. For, the mini project I am choosing to do the collage because there are many things that represent my book.
rohlendorf2
Your book seems to be very interesting
rraisch6
Good job
@tdavis3 cool
@TJohnson4 great blog
I am currently reading “One Tough Chick” by Leslie Margolis, I am on page 47. I like everything about my book so far. Except the girls in my book has a disorder, and people pic on her about it. I’m not really sure which mini project I want to do yet. But, I think I want to do the collage, because there are a lot of thing that can represent my book.
@tfoye6 good job.
