Perfect Pg. 65 Sara Shepard
the two questions i would ask are\is:
-Why is Ezra Arrested when it was consensual?
-Who Is A?
The book that I am currently reading is called endangered by Eliot Schrefer and I am on page 5. If I could ask the author 2 questions about the book, the first question that I would ask would be, “how did you come up with the plot for the book?”, because it is not always easy to come up with a plot for a book such as this one. The second question that I would ask is, “what inspired you to become a writer and write about the things that you do?” .One way I think the author would respond to question number one is, from an experience that he had, most of the time when authors come up with stories that take place in somewhere that is actually existent, they would have to have some type of knowledge,some experience to go along with the plot.
The book I am currently reading is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, and I am on page 94. If I could meet Stephanie Meyer I would probably ask her a lot of questions. For example:
How did you come up with the whole story?
How did you choose the covers of the books?
I think Stephanie Meyer would say something like she was day-dreaming and she just saw Bella and Edward. I think she hose the covers by making them mysterious, but still making them reflect on the books.
kjones3: Good blog. Keep up the good work.
The book I am reading is called big feild and I am on page 10 and the aurthor is Mike Lupica. 2 questions I would ask to the aurthor is, how do you come up with all of this ideas. My second question is would be how did you become a writer.
Kjones3 great blog

Great blog keep up the good work
The book I am currently reading is called Bloody Jack L.A. Meyer and I'm on page 13. If i met the author I would ask him why were there children on a ship out on a voyage? Another question I would ask the author is why was his nickname bloody jack? The author might respond by saying something to the second question like you would have to read the book farther to figure that out. The author might say to the first question like it might be that there parents are on the ship as well.

great job on your blog! @kjones3
very good @emasio6 on your blog very well done.
I am reading "Romeo Blue" by Phoebe Stone, and I am on page 10. If I had to ask the author one it would be, why does Mr. Fitzwilliam seem like such a creepy dude? And why did Fliss' mom and dad leave her? I feel like both of those questions are important to the overall plot of the book, so I think those two questions are important. The one I think she will answer is the second one, because I think later on in the book it becomes more important, so its necessary to understand it.
@Iharris5, keep up the good work!
@kjones3, amazing work!
I am currently reading “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green and I have just started reading, so I’m on page 5. A question I would ask my author is how Hazel got her disease in the first place? And what the metaphor used by Augustus Waters actually means when he is “smoking” an unlit cigarette? I think that John Green would give me a clearer version of what his character Augustus was referring to. I also think that he would tell me what he was thinking when he gave Hazel her characteristics.
good job! @kjones3
@emasio6 nice blog
I am currently reading the book Hero by Mike Lupica, and i'm on page 74. Some questions I would ask Mike would be things like why a kid? How did this idea come across your mind? Why in Ney York? Mike Lupica does things within this book that isn't in many other fantasy books. For instance, the background of the main character isn't told till a while into the book.
KJones3: Great post!
Emasio6: Great post.
I am currently reading The time of the witches by Anna Myers, I am on page 57. If I could ask the author of my book 2 questions, the first 1 would be: Why did Drucilla and gabe get separated?. The other question would be: why misstres putnam got cursed? . I think the author would answer the first question with: "They got separated because the family that adopted drucilla could not take gabe"and the second question he would answer:"she got cursed because she yelled to a old lady and the old lady was a witch and she cursed her". The book is based on salem, it has some modern early english. The author did a great job in this book.
@kjones3 nice post!
@emasio great book!
I'm reading The Winter Horses by Phillip Kerr.
The two questions I would ask are:
-Did the Nazis really try to exterminate animals that were close to extinction?
-Did Przewalskis really exist during the time of the Nazis?
I don't really know how the author would answer these questions without showing me proof.
I am reading confederate spies and I am on page 23. If I got the chance to speak with the author i would first ask, where he got the cover art. It is rather intriguing, the style of the pencil work and painting make it look like an original from the civil war era, but the style of the hands on the characters give it a more modern look. A likely response would be that he found it on the internet, or a co worker drew it up for him. I would also ask if he spoke with any historians, or actual spies while making the book, and what other resources he used to get his background for creating the book.

good comment, keep up the good work!
ABedard6
I love your enthusiasm, "great post." In my head you sound very tired.
I am currently reading caught by Margaret Peterson and I am currently on page 33. My first question would be "how far into making more series are you going into?". The author would defiantly tell me how many more series she will make and the types of genre the books will be. My second question would be the ending of it because I'm that type of person. her response would be no because since its an interview people are watching so she wouldn't want to spoil it.
good job kjones3
good job emasio6
I'm reading City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, on page 25. I'd ask the author what the characters were supposed to look like because she didn't really go in depth to the. I'd also ask her where the city is supposed to be on Earth
I am reading Chosen Ones by Tiffany Truitt and I am on page 38. If I was talking to the author, I would ask her the question: why did you choose to write a book like this? I think she would answer by saying that there are not many books like this out there. The other question I would ask her is: why did James risk getting made fun of by taking Tess away from those boys and why does he seem so stressed about his decision?
iharris5: Great blog!
JGlover2: Good job!
The book I am currently reading is “House of Dark Shadows” by Robert Liparulo and I am on page 63. If I had the opportunity to ask the author any questions, one of them would definitely be the reason for his choice of setting. Why did he choose to make the main setting for this story an old, run down, victorian home? My authors answer to the question might be something along the lines of, “the book is meant to be thrilling. The house adds a creepier feel to the whole story.” Another question i would ask would be why is Xander the only one that feels the creepy feeling about the house? My author would then probably answer sarcastically with a, “well there wouldn’t be a story if everyone believed him and didn’t buy the house.”
@kjones3 I really enjoyed reading your blog.
@emasio6 Your blog was well put together.
The questions I would ask the author is that how long did it take you to write your book. And that is the story your telling on the book ever about anything that happened during your life. And how old he or she is. Also how long he or she has been writting books. The book i'm currently reading is PERFECT SEASON By TIM GREEN.
Great questions that you would ask your author @kjones3
Nice qqquestions and great book @emasio6
I am currently on page 59 of the book Wicked by Sara Shepard. If I could talk with author about the book I would ask her how she kept the series going? like how did she transfer from one book to the next with out making it sound boring like some books? Another question I would ask would be how does she come up with all the creepy stalker things "A" does to Hanna, Spencer, Emily, and Aria? The reason is because "A" does A TON of super creepy things to them and it would be cool to know how she came up with them. My last question would be How did she come up with "A"? in other words how did she choose to make a book about this? About how a stranger that has a ton of dirt on 4 girls how did she come up with it because its a AWESOME series.
@cmcknight4 I like the way you talked about the book.
@JGlover2 Great job!!!
I am currently reading Chomp by Carl Hiaasen and am on page 18. If I could ask the author a question it would be, why did you make the story in 3rd person? Carl Hiaasen would probably say he wrote the story in 3rd person so that it gets the reader think who is the one telling the story. Another question I would ask is, why did you choose a frozen lizard to hurt Mickey Crays? Carl Hiaasen might say that you never hear about anybody getting hit in the head by a frozen lizard so he wanted to be different.
@emasio6 Nice job!!
@OYakel4 Keep up the good work!!
I am currently reading The Underdogs by Mike Lupica and I am on page 15. One question I would ask the author is, "Why did you have to close the first shoe factory?" I think that he would say something about how that gives the story a turning point. The old sneaker factory was a common job for many families and without it, the town lost a lot of money and people. Another question I would ask is, "How did you come up with the general idea of the story?" I think that the author might have been a football player or had dreams of becoming a pro-football player. Just like the main character, he could have had something happen that got in the way.
kjones3, nice job!
emasio6, nice blog!
The book I'm currently reading is Surrounded by Sharks by Michael Northrop and i am on page 27. There is a lot of questions i would like to ask. Since the book is mostly about the horrors of being stranded and alone around sharks. The questions i would like to ask is.
Why a story about sharks?
Is this a way to learn more about sharks?
The author might respond by saying it is a way to learn about sharks and I made this story to give some of the reality that could happen in the novel.
@emasio6 good job taking on a book like that I'm surprised.
@kjones3 Nice blog gave me something to read about also i think the author would respond with the same feeling.
I am Currently reading Darkness from dawn by Sharon M. Draper, I am on page 30. The first question i would ask is why did Keisha have to go out with a grown man when she is in high school.? The second question i would ask is why didn't you write it where Keisha told her friends what happen.? I think the author would answer the first question by saying to make the book more exciting and to have people saying "What is going on.?"
@Kjones
Great job on your blog.!
@emasio6
Great job on your blog.!
The book am reading is schooled by Paul Langan and i am on pg. 27. The questions i would ask the author is what was his inspirations on making the book? Another question i would ask will be did the story happen to him because the book could be realistic. I think the author will answer either one of the questions, but i dont know what he would say. But if i could ask him the questions i would wanna know the answer to the first one.
@kjones
@emasio6
I am reading “What the Dog Said” by Randi Resifeld, I am currently on page 23. One question I would ask my author is why he would make a book about a dog talking a girl into buying him. Another question I would ask him is why he chose this specific type of dog, he chose a Collie. I think he would answer my first question from experience he has had in his life. Maybe he thought dogs could talk to him at one point in his life. Or maybe he would say he was depressed, like the girl Grace in the book. Her father died, and she is depressed. She probably thinks using the dog as an excuse for her to get over her father’s death, because all she really does is mope around and locks herself up in her room.
@Bmcphadden5
@Jchandler5 good job.
@Bmcphadden5 nice blog. *
I am reading the second book of the MerTales series, Evergreen, by Brenda Pandos. If I could ask Mrs. Pandos any two questions they would be:
1.) Why did you make mermaid promising effects so intense, and why did you choose kissing as the way to become promised?
2.) Why mermaids? Are you like me with a secret obsession for them?
I feel like her answers are pretty predictable, but it'd still be nice to ask. Her response for my first question would probably come from a story or some experience she had in her life. Typically such creatively made experiences are real life experiences an author has had, but they've slightly altered it to make it more fictional. For my second question, I guess (And hope.) her response would involve choosing mermaids because, yes, she is obsessed with them. Just like me.
And I am on page 142, I forgot that part.
@amouintan4 Great blog!
@JGlover2 From your questions for the author, it seems like you have a good book in your hands. It seems to have interesting character names as well. This seems like a good read, I'll have to get it some time.
The book I am currently reading is The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp by Rick Yancey and I am on page 62. If I could ask the author two question, the first question would be:
"Why did you make Alfred a tall, obese, unpopular teenager instead of a smart, athletic, popular, cute boy?"
In my opinion, I would enjoy the book a little more if I could visualize Alfred as a much cuter boy. No, I'm just kidding, it's ok if I imagine him the way he is.
"Why did Alfred you make Alfred have no friends or a social life???"
If Alfred had more friends, when he had to fight against bad guys, he would have more friends that could fight alongside him. Instead of having just his uncle help him, he could have more friends fight with him so it increases his chance of winning more battles.
@NKeidel3 I love Perfect, a Pretty Little Liar book, that was a really awesome, fun book to read. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did.
@ABedard I really enjoyed reading your blog! Keep up the AMAZING work. :)
The book that i am reading is "Watcher in the woods" by Robert Liparulo.I am currently on page 25 some two questions that i will ask is. What made you write a book about someone who is getting watched in the woods ? . Another question is why do you start off your book by it not being interesting?. I think that the Author might answer my first question by saying i felt like this book title would catch someones attention. Also,people would be suspenseful about something going on in the woods.
@skkeys15 awesome blog! keep it up .
@emasio6 nice blog keep up the awesome work. your blog is very well done
I am currently reading Atlantia by Ally Condie and I am on page 15. The first question I would ask him is what he was thinking when he made this book. I would also ask him why and how the city became underground in the first place.
write more than that. @njkeidel03
great blog! @kjones3
I'm currently reading the book called Bitterblue on page 142 and the author is Kristin Cashore. If i had two questions to ask they would be about the characters and the series itslef. First question is would the author creat a fourth installment in the series since the book i'm reading now is the third part. Anoter is where did she get all the names for the characters like Po or Katsa. Third would be if he were to make a movie out of it since many of the famous books so far have been planned to be produced into a movie.
njkeidel03: Nice two questions to ask.
emasio6: Great job on answering the blog and summarizing the book.
The book I am currently reading is the hunger games by Susan Collins I am currently on page 120. One question I would ask my author is how she came up with such a setting. Another question I would ask my author is how she came up with such amazing characters. My author might answer by saying “it just popped up in my mind. For my other question I think he would answer by saying I knew what kind of book I wanted and that I would need amazing characters.
nice blog kjones3
good job emasio6
I am reading the book "Enclave" by Ann Aguire and I am on page 127. I would ask the author why did Deuce lie for Stone even though she knew the elders set him up and I would also ask why did Fade join in and lie too instead of getting to stay in the enclave. I believe the author would answer my first question by stating she knew the elders set her up and lied about everything and she wanted to leave.
@qdjames4 - great questions
@jsonhayab4 - great job
I am currently reading the book "Ark Angel", by Anthony Horowitz,and i am on page 82. And the first question that i would ask the author is "How did you think of theme of the books you published?". And I think his answer would be "I try to connect my thought of action and tried to piece it together, and i try to keep my stories action-packed. And the second question is "How do you feel for your books to be published out into the open world for people to open and read your ideas and thoughts". And his answer would probably be "Well, as i show my thoughts and ideas to the open world i still want to get people interested in action books and movies, and since this book is out into the open world it might experience and encourage the kids who always wanted to make books".
nice job @clynch2

Keep up the good work @cmcknight4
I'm currently reading "The Bully" by Paul Langan, and I'm on page 50. One questions I would ask Paul, is Why did Darrell have to move from Philadelphia to California, just because his mom didn't have a good paying job? My other question is why does Tyray feel the need to bully Darrell? My second question I think the author could answer best. He would probably say Tyray has to bully Darrell because that's the whole idea of the story, if there isn't a bully in the story, then the story wouldn't make sense.
@jwitter6 Good Blog!
@qdjames4 That's Very Good!
I am reading the gift a witch and wizard novel by James Patterson. I am on page 20. I probably would ask James Patterson how he comes up with all the books he has created.Also I would ask if he could sign my book because he is my favorite author. He probably would sign the book but personal I have no clue what his reasons for coming up with all his books are.
@oyakel nice blog it sounds like a cool book.
@jmartin3 nice blog.
I am currently on page 5 of How To Meet Boys.
My first question to the author would be why would she fall for the guy her bestfriend fell for?
Why would she still go for him?
I think the author might answer my first question by telling my her perspective and then tell me why or how.
I was reading The 100 by Kass Morgan, and I have finished it. If I could ask the author of my book two questions, I would first ask how she came up with the ideas for her book. I would also ask her if Clarke and Bellamy find Octavia. I believe that the answer to the second question would be yes, that they do find her. I think this because Octavia is a very important character, so it would hurt the plot if she is killed off. I also think this because Bellamy feels obligated to protect her, so he won’t stop looking until he finds Octavia.
kjones3: Nice job, your answer seems accurate
fwbougher: Great blog, those were good questions to ask.
I am currently reading the book The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine and I am on page 32. The first question that I would ask the author is, “Why didn’t people appreciate different race of people?” Another question is “How did you think of the various scenarios?” I think the author would answer the first question that people had segregation between the black and white people. That was the reason why white and black people attended separate schools in the book.
@rraisch6 Interesting book! Great job.
@oyakel4 Good job!
I am currently reading "Wolven" by Di Toft, page 25. If I could ask any question, I would ask "How did you think of the main character for 'Wolven'?" The main character is a young boy who has a big heart. The author may answer with answers such as it was a representation of his son,or a close family member that he loves. Another question would be "Why did you make a book about a wolven-or in modern terms, a werewolf-?" The author may have answered that he has an obsession or strongly likes werewolfs.
@KJones3
Great questions!
@EMasio6
I read that book! It was quite interesting.
The book I am currently reading is Paper Things by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and I am on page 77. If I could meet the author of my book I would ask her how'd she come up with the plot? Another question I would ask her is Who's your favorite character? Jennifer would most likely reply to the first question by saying it's a situation that she went through or witnessed. Jennifer would reply to the next question by saying, Ari because she's the main character.
clynch2 great job on the blog!
kjones3 good job on the blog!
I am currently reading "Small as an Elephant" by Jennifer Jacobson and I am on page 15. If I could ask the author two questions about the book, they'd be, 'what made you choose an elephant as the toy Jack keeps with him throughout the book?'. The second question would be 'is this book in any way related to your life?'.
| @kjones3 : Great blog! |
| @emasio6 : Amazing response! |
I am reading "The Raft" by S.A. Bodeen and I am on page 20. The first question that I would ask the author is, " What inspired you to make Robie a traveler?" The second question is "What does the green Mohawk man connected with this book?" I think the author would answer the first question and she might say that one of her dreams was being a traveler. Many authors write about what they wanted to be when they were young ,so she might wrote the book what she wanted to be.
@kjones3 Great job with the blog!
@Sbrown4 Good Job!!
I am reading Hide and Seek by Katy Grant and I am on page 35. If I could talk to the author and ask her any questions I would ask her three questions. First of all, Do the events in the book reflect anything i your childhood? If so, how historically accurate is the story? And I would also ask, if it wasn't based off true events, how she got the idea to make a book about geocaching. It think the events would not reflect her life because it is a crazy story so far and a little far fetched.
@emasio6 Great blog!
@kjones3 Good job.
The book I am currently reading is Scat by Carl Hiaasen and I'm currently on page 26. If I could ask two questions to the author, I would ask "Why is the book called 'Scat' and has a cat on the front if this book has nothing to do with a cat?" Another question would be "Is Smoke guilty of Mrs. Starch's disappearance?" I would believe that the author would answer to both questions "You're just gonna have ta find out." I would understand, plus that would be ruining the book all together.
To kjones,
Good questions! Keep up the good work!
To emasio6,
I have seen the movie Twilight... something... Anyway, keep up the good work!
The book I am currently using is Variant by Robinson Wells, and I am on page 32.If I could ask my author a question it would be "What gave you the idea to make this book?". He would probably say that he was inspired by one of his family members or by a significant event in his life. Another question would be "How long did it take you to make the book?". His answer would probably be when more inspiration struck he wrote more.
Nice questions kjones3
emasio6 Nice job
I am currently reading The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan and I am on page number 143. If I could ask any two questions to the author, I would have to ask him about how he believed the characters to look like and maybe if he could go into a bit more detail with Grover's backstory and such. The author may answer my questions and if he does answer the one about how he believes the characters to look. Then he most likely will give me some vague answer because most authors would like to leave the characters image to the readers imagination. I may also ask him to tell me a bit more about the layout of Camp-Halfblood because all the reader gets to see is an aerial view of a map, showing where everything would be.
@KBaxter 6 - agh, I really wanna read that book and watch the episodes
@Bmcphadden5 - that sounds like it may be a good book, maybe I'll read it later on
I am reading "Wolves of the beyond lone wolf" by Kathryn Lasky and I am on page 18. If I had a question for the author it would be, "why did the the female wolf run away to give birth?" I beleive the author would answer, "because she wanted to make sure the baby wolf would be safe". Another question I would ask the author is," why did the female wolf want to give birth for this pup and not the previous pup she gave birth to?" I believe the author would answer, "the female wolf feared that this pup would have been in danger if it was not taken somewhere else".
iharris5: interesting book
kjones3: interesting topic
I am currently reading "The Alchemyst" by Michael Scott and I"m on page 15. If I could ask any two questions to my author one of them would be "How would a book be able to destroy human kind?". The other question I would ask to my author is "How would you make elixir that lets you live forever like Nicholas Flamel in the book did?". I believe the author would answer the first one like this "the book in this book would be able to destroy human kind because it is a elixir making book that you could make any elixir like something that could kill many humans at once.". If the book got in the wrong hands it could kill people and that is why I think he would answer that way.
@kjones3 nice blog I have not heard of the book endangered sounds good.
@emasio6 You read fast. You are already at page 94. Amazing. Nice blog.
The book I am currently reading is “All Fall Down” by Ally Carter, and I am currently on page 41. If I met the author of this book I would ask why the main characters (Grace) mother passed at such an early age. Also I would ask what happened to Grace’s father. I think the author would answer the first question with an excuse like her mother had a disease or something. For the second question I imagine her saying something like he was a drug addict.
kjones3 good job.
iharris5 nice work.
I am reading The Ruins Of Gorlan by John Flannigan, and I am on page 47. The first question I would ask the author is how he came with the world. The second question is if he came up with the characters from people he knew. I think the answer to the first question is he based it off of the real world but changed the names of the countries.
@rabram2 Nice job on your blog!
@hwerther3 You did a great job on your blog!
so my book is the necromancer by michael scott AND IF I COULD ask hm any question at all it would probably be if gilgamesh survived im on pg 14 and all they said was that the last time they saw him he was shot and wounded by an arrow saving them so i dont know what happend to him i hope hes ok hes a king so it would be kinda bad
good job keep reading
I am currently reading skinny by Donna Cooner, I am on page 17. if I could ask the author 2 questions the first would be why did she decide to write about a person with weight problems?. The second would be are all of her books emotional and moving? and why if so. I think she would answer the 1st question is an experience that she has had, she may have had a weight problem and treated the way she described in the book.
Nice blog good details kjones3
Great blog @JGlover2
I'm currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dasher, and I'm currently on page 8. If I could ask the author a question it would be:"why did start off the story with the main character Thomas surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air, in other words in a place with harsh conditions." I think the author would answer me by saying that he wants to build suspense so that the reader would want to read more so that the reader would want to know what is going to happen next. Another question I would ask the author is:"why did he finally put a girl in the maze." I think the author would say, he put her in the maze to bring Thomas's prior memories back.
I am reading Fish in a Tree by Linda Hunt and i am on page 15. If I could ask the author a question I would ask," How did you come up with a plot like this?" I would ask this, because a dyslexic girl moved to different schools because of her learning disability finds a new teacher hat helps her isn't necessarily an "average/ common plot. The second question I would ask is," Is this pot/ book base on a personal experience?" Since this book is so descriptive it seems like this book is from past experience.
Good job @kjones3 i can ell you put a lot of work into the blog!
SHenderson4: Great job!
Good job @emasio6 I can tell you worked hard with the details!
amouintan4: Nice blog!!
My book is EON by Alison Goodman and I just started so I'm on page 27. If I could ask my author two questions it would be "The main character is a 16 year old girl how is she able to disguise herself as a 12 year old boy?" The other question would be "I'm pretty sure she lives under the same roof as the other 11 candidates to become a DragonEye so how come she hasn't been found out yet?" Because all of them have to train together so I'm pretty sure they live together. However most likely the author's answers to both questions would be keep reading and you'll find out.
kjones3 Awesome Blog!
KBaxter6 Sounds like an interesting book.
I'm currently reading "How I survived bullies, broccoli, and snake hill" by James Patterson, I'm on page 26. The two questions I would ask my author would be, what made him chose to make comedy books and why is Rate such a mischievous person? I think he would respond to my first with, I love comedy and so does everyone else.
Kjones3 good job.
Jglover2 good job!
I am currently reading Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and I'm on page 10. If i could ask the austors two questions i would ask, "how crazy do these books get?". I would ask that because this book is already pretty odd and there are two more. The second question i would ask is "does the girl from the main character's dreams show up?" I think the answer to the second question is yes because it seems like everything is about to get super strange.
@rabram2 Nice job, keep it up!
@emasio6 Great book choice!
The book I am currently reading is "Everlost" by Neal Shusterman, I am on page 63. If I could ask the author two questions it would be, why did he pick this topic for the book? The second question would be how did he come up with these areas and names for the afterlife? I believe his answer to the first question would be because most people don't really know or think about what will happen in the afterlife when we die but he probably has an interest in death or something similar to it.
@emasio6 Great Job!
@JGlover2 Sounds great!
The book I am reading is Into the Killing Seas by Michael Spradlin and I am on page 15. The first question I would ask the author is- Why do you have to prologue at the hospital? It just shows the main character survives. My second question would be- why can't Patrick see? Is there debris in his eyes?
Great blog kjones3!!!
Keep up the good work emasio6!
The book I'm currently reading is waiting to normal written by Leslie Connor and I'm on page 30.If I wanted to ask the author two questions it would be why doesn't in the beginning of the story it tells why Dwight (ex stepfather )separate with the mother?.And why did they have to move out to a trailer?.And if the author would answer my first question by saying they had problems to deal with.also the second question she would answer she would say because they didn't have no where to go because Addie didn't want to move with grandio cause she hated him.
Good job on blog
Good use of detail's in blog
The bpok I'm reading is The Summer Before Boys by Nora Raleigh Baskin and I'm on page 58. If I had two question for the author I would ask if the author has any special connection with the book or is it just something the author made up from the top of her head. Also, I would ask How old are they actually because I'm a little confused.She might answer the second question by saying that she is twelve and that I can see how you may have been confused.The first question I'm not entirely sure how because that's something from her perspective and I don't really know what she will say.
Jkoenig3 Great Job and Interesting
DWhite3 Wow Great Questions
The book I am currently reading is After 3 by Anna Todd, and I am about 30% done with it. If I was going to ask Todd a question it would be how she came up with the idea of the book. The book series is very detailed and well thought out. I'm not quite sure his she would answer. Another question I would ask her is if she was or is in a relationship like Harry and Tessa's. This book and series shows so much emotion that you would almost have to believe that she went through something just as heartbreaking yet so much fun. I personally think she would say she has been through something a lot like it because it would be quite hard to believe that she hadn't.
@dnova5 great job, keep up the good work.
@dwhite3 nice !! sounds interesting
I am reading Snap Decision by Nathan Whitaker and am currently on page 24. If i could ask the author anything about the book one of the questions would be: Why does Chase not make varsity if on page 13 the coach said he should have? I asked this question especially because Coach P made the team and didnt pick him, then the next day said he should have. Another question i would ask the author is why is his friend Tripp sitting with the Varsity kids if he isnt on Varsity. Chase explains on page 23 that the Varsity players are really careful about who sits with them.
Nice Job @KManderino5
Beautiful.@dwhite3
The book i am currently reading is the is darth paper strikes back by tom angleberger. The first question i would ask the author is why he chose this setting and theme. The second question i would ask him is why his book had to be mostly about origamis. I think the author would answer my first question by saying he was a star wars fan ever since he was a kid. H e would probably also say that it was a unique theme for a book.
nice job kjones3
good work emasio6
The book I am currently reading is "Big Nate Strikes again" by Lincoln Peirce and I am on page 23. If I had a chance to sit down and talk with Lincoln Peirce I would ask him two questions. One question would be what does ps.38 stand for? My second question would be what inspired you to make the book series Big Nate? I believe he would answer the second question by saying that he wanted to show the world his love of writing and he wanted everyone to see it so he decided to make a book and he came up with big Nate because it reminded him of himself as a kid.
@Kjones3 Nice blog
@Iharris5 great job
@hmoorer3 sounds good @VNelson2 nice job on your blog
The book I am currently The Watsons Go To Birmingham i am on page 56 and the author is Christopher Paul Curtis. If I could ask the author 2 questions about the book my questions would be: Is this book based on a true story? The reason i wold ask that question is because there is a movie about this book. My second question would be: If this book is based on a true story are the characters still alive?
kjones3 great blog
emasio6 your blog was really good
I am currently finished with my book called Once Upon The End by James Riley.If I could ask the author two questions I would ask him one "why did you choose the main charecter from jack and the bean stalk." Number two would be " are you going to make anymore books like this." i really enjoyed this book a lot and recomend it to anyone who loves fairytales. I wish that there were more books like this in the world.
Wondeful Kjones3 that book sounds amazing!
that bok sounds awsome Jglover2!
I am reading The Convicts by Iain Lawrence, and I am currently on page 15. If I could ask the author two questions about the book they would make him really think. The first question would be, " What gave you inspiration to write this book?". My second question would be, "Did anything in the book relate to your life?". I would want to know these questions because the book is quite different so far and i would like to know how he came up with it.
kjones3: Nice blog this week!
Afarlin5: I heard that's a great book.
I am currently reading maximum ride the angel experiment by James Patterson, pg. 10. If I could meet the author I would ask him how he thought of the of making this book? Another question I would would be Why involve angels? I think he would ask the first question as if he saw it in a dream of some sort.
Nice blog mmoss6
Great job kjones3
I am currently reading The Apothecary by Malie Meloy and I am on page 45. The first question I would ask my book's author is why did you become an author? I think she would answer by saying that it is a job that let's her be creative and make stories. The second question I would ask my book's author is why use the 1940's as a time during the book? I think she would answer by saying that the 1940's is a very under used time period in literature.
good job emasio6
keep up the good work mmoss6
The title of my book is Brooklyn Bridge by Karen Hesse and I'm currently on pg.43. If I had two questions to ask my author they would be why did you name the title Brooklyn Bridge and not anything else. Another question I would ask is why in the 1st chapter why did she say she's lucky and how does she has everything and why does she say she's the luckiest kid in the world. I feel that she would answer my second question by saying that she has had a lot of luck in her life. Another thing she can say is that things go her way or maybe that when she suppose to get in trouble she really doesn't and things always go her way somehow. That's how feel she could answer one of my two questions.
Kjones3 did exceptionally well on the blog.
emasio6 did well on the blog.
I am currently reading Enders by Lissa Price and I am on page 101. The two questions I would ask the the author would be "how did you come with the idea of the book?" and "why have the evil guys son be good?" The author would probably answer the first question by adding a small section explaining where her idea came from. And she would probably answer the second question by having the answer be later on in the book.
Good job kjones3
Good work emaisio6
The book I am currently reading is The Girl He Never Noticed by Neilani Alejandrino and I am on page 39. If I could ask the author any questions about the book the first question I would ask is "How come Joseph never told Jade how he felt about her?" Jade had a major crush on Joseph and when she told him her feelings he rejected her. She was sad for years, and it was so bad that she hid herself from the world and she disguised herself. She wore a wig and old lady clothes because she didn't like being herself. I think Joseph not reiterating her feelings just really ruined her and the author should've found another way than that. My second question would be "Is this book written from personal situations?" I find it interesting that someone thought of such an amazing plot as this without having any experience or if something similar has happened to you.
kmanderino5
You did a great job on your blog and since I've read that book before, I would ask the same questions.
kjones3
Good job on your blog:)
I'm reading the book The Apothecary by Maile Meloy and on page. The question I would ask Maile would be "Why did you set the time frame after the war?" She would answer by saying that it would make it see like everything is good now. Another question I would ask the author would be "Why did you make her age 14?" The answer would be because it adds character and curious.
@emasio6 Love that book and I would hve the same questions
@nijkeidel03 I want to read that book
I am reading Okay For Now by Gary D. Schmidt, and I'm currently on page 42. If I could ask Schmidt any two questions, firstly I'd ask what's going to happen to Doug and his family as I keep reading. Even though this would probably spoil the story a little bit I'm anxious to find out! The other question I would ask Schmidt is what Doug's favorite sport is. I'd ask him about Doug's favorite sport because it'd help me learn about Doug as a person.
@kjones3 Good Blog! You have really good questions for your author I agree it's crazy how authors come up with story ideas!
@Jglover2 Even though I don't know anything about your book I'm sure you'll soon find the answer to your questions! Good blog!
I finished Fang by James Patterson. I would ask my author what he was inspired by to create such a series. I personally think it is a good read. I also would like to know how did he make up the names for the characters. If He would respond I think He would answer number two. I think he would say that their names go with their personality.
-kjones3 good job on your blog, well written
-Jglover2 good job
I am reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth, and I am currently on page 40. If I could ask the author two questions about my book, first I would ask her “what is an Insurgent or what does it mean?”, because book hasn’t really explained it exactly. The second question I would ask her is “Is the book any different from the movie that had come out not that long ago?” I think the author would respond to the first question saying “an insurgent is a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority”. This book seems very interesting and I can’t wait to read more of it!
kjones3
Sounds great!

Great blog!
The book I'm currently reading is called Fanatasy League by Mike Lupica. And the two questions in would ask Mike is,what make you write so many sports books.And the other one is why did u pick this main character for this book.I think his answer for last question would be because he was kind of like the character.And he wanted to be like that when he was a kid.
Great blog
Keep up the good work

good work @qdjames4
good question! @oyakel4
I am reading Camp Confidential by Mellissa Morgan and I'm currently on page 12.One question I have for the author is why does Chelsea urge for attention so bad? I think that Mellissa Morgan would say that she is the friend that loves to have the spotlight, or something along those lines. Another question I have is how many of the stories that Chelsea tells are true? This is an ok book but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Nice blog @kjones3
Really enjoyed the blog @cmcknight4
I am reading "elephant run" by Roland smith, i am currently on page 94. A question that i would ask my author about the book if i could talk to him is, why did you make Nick's mother send him to live with his father in Burma? Another question i would ask the author is why did trouble erupt in the elephant village as soon as Nice arrived
@kjones3: nice response!
@emasio6: great blog!
I'm currently reading Tomorrow Girls Run For Cover by Eva Gray and I'm on page 15. If I could ask the author of my book it two questions they would be "How did you come up with the series of Tomorrow Girls?" and "when and how did you gain a passion for writing?" I think Eva Gray would answer the first question something like this. The way I came up with the Tomorrow Girls is in the story it starts in Chicago and I'm from Chicago if you didn't know so I use that to start with. Then I kind of thought of what the future might be like and we'll have a war world 3 because we might have one later on who knows. Eventually I just did more thinking about the future and thats how I got the Tomorrow Girls series.
jsongayab4- I really enjoyed reading your blog, nicely done!
qdjames4- awesome job on your blog. (:
The book I am currently reading is Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan, and I am on page 96. One of the questions i would ask is how do make your characters? I think the author would respond by saying he used a bit of his own thinking on the topic, and read other books on the topic to get a feel around how he should develop each character. My next question would be what inspired you to write a book like this?My last question would you describe the main character Paul?
Kjones3 great questions!
emasio6 great job on your blog, and with your questions!
I am currently reading "Perfect Season" by Tim Green and I am on page 23. The first question that I would ask is: How long did you play football yourself? The second question I would ask is: How did you come up with the back story for both Ty Lewis and Troy White?
He would obviously respond to the first question by saying how many years he played football for. But he might answer the second question by saying something like, it happened to me, or it happened to a friend of mine, or he could just answer it by saying he just has a creative imagination which is what most writers have.
@kjones3 Nice blog!
@emasio6 Keep up the good work!
I'm currently read The Scorch Trails by James Dashner I'm on page 34. One I would ask if I could talk to the author of this book is "why do he includes another disease in this book?" just like that last one. How he might answer my question is by saying that it gives the Gladers more of a challenge to survive where they are now. Another question I would ask the author of this book is "why did he make another maze with another group of people (group B) when Thomas group(group A) already tested the Maze?" How my author might answer this question is by saying that he wanted to mix things up but also to start making the pieces of the puzzle of all the Gladers questions fit together and make them understand what's going on.
Cmcknight4 great questions
Bmcphadden5 nice job on your blog keep it up
The book that i am currently reading is The Watcher by Joan Hiatt Harlow and i am on page 11. If I could ask the author 2 questions i would ask what inspired her to write a story about someone being kidnapped? And why she would name the book the watcher? I think she would respond by saying that it was an experience or something she might have saw growing up.
great job kjones keep it up.
Iharris5 great job your book sounds interesting
I Am Currently Reading Nest By Esther James and Im On Page 8. If I could ask the author 2 questions they would be:Why Place the story in 1972? and: Why make her friend Jake so wierd? The author would probably respond to the first question. She would then say "I was more 'alive' back then especially when the twist came on the radio."
kjones3... Nice Blog
emasio6.... Interesting ,keep it up.
I am reading “Hoot” by Carl Hiassen, and I am on page 18. One question I would ask is why he writes all of his books about Florida? I am not too sure how he would answer this because of the fact that I don’t know the author personally, but I have a feeling that he writes so much about it because he grew up there. Another question I would ask is when did he start writing actual books? It says on the back that he got his first typewriter at age 6, but I don’t think he would’ve been intelligent enough to write novels at such a young age.
@kjones3, Good job on your blog! I think you have a well-developed answer.
@emasio6, Keep up the good work!
I am currently reading Lost in the River of Grass by Ginny Rorby and I am on page 74. One of the questions I would ask the author if I could would be, why did he add the little duck to the story? He might answer with something like,"because the duck helped make a connection between the main characters, Sarah and Andy." Another question I might ask the author, is if he made the characters biracial for a reason. Did he do it to show how they had to overcome differences or not?
emasio6 Great jon on your blog!
JGlover2 Nice job! Great details.
I am currently reading “Jessica Darling’s it list 2” by Megan Mccafferty I am on page 3. If I could ask the author of my book anything I would ask her if she is anything like the main character in her book. I would also ask her why she chose to have drama as her main conflict and is it just because teens are more interested in drama than anything. Also on top of that I would ask why and how she got into book writing and if she plans to do anything else with her life. Lastly I would complement her on such a great job she is truly my inspiration.
great blog kjones3
nice emasio6
The book I am currently reading is Ungifted by Gordon Korman and I am on page 102. If I was able to talk to the author a question I would as is, "What made her want to have the book change the point of view each chaper?" Another one I would ask is, "What made the superintendedent so angry with her job?" I think that the author would answer my fist question by saying something like he wanted to show both thoughts of the characters to give you an idea of where they are coming from. For my second question I think he would answer it by telling somesort of story or fustration about the superintendent.
@emasio6 Good blog, keep up the good work!
@Gglover2 Sounds interesting!
I’m am currently reading midnight love by Ellen mason and I’m on page .140.
If I could sit down and chat with this author, I would ask the two following question. My fist question would be while writing the story what exactly gave her the idea? And my second question would be if you was in the same situation that the character is in would would she do? I think the author would answer the second question with another question. She might say everyone reacts to things differently like you may react to something more than I would react to it. So how would u react if u was in that predicament?
emasio6. good job on your blog, keep up the great work !
@jwitter6 Great blog!
The book that I am currently reading is called Eggs by Jerry Spinelli;and I am currently on page 44. If there were any questions that I would ask Mr. Spinelli,the first one would be do you write your books based off of past experiences? The reason I would ask this question is because I have read other books that he has written, and I think that they are VERY realistic. I think that Mr. Spinelli would respond to this question with:Why, yes my books are based off of past experiences.That is why they seem so realistic.The other question i would ask is why did you choose to make this book about eggs? He would probably say because that is what the book is about and how it starts off.thines6
I am currently reading Fallen Angels by Walter dean Myers. I am page 296. my two questions would be why did Richie join the army and why hasn't he told his little brother that he has killed someone yet. The author would answer the second question. Saying that Richie wants his little brother to see him has a hero and not as a killer.
emasio6 nice blog
villanueva5 good job
I am currently on page 182 in IQ by Roland Smith. I would ask Roland the questions: Are there any other branches of the government that spies on people? Is it actually possible to fake your death and dissapear completely without the government tracing anything about you? I don't know what he would answer because these are hard questions to answer. Cool @Kjones3. Awesome @emasio6
The book that I am currently reading is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark twain I am on pg.20. one of my questions would be was that how people spoke back in the day? he would probably say yes. My other question would be was these your personal adventures or another persons adventures. he would probably say yes these are my personal adventures.
Great blog! @thines6
keep up the good work @aparker5
The book that I am currently reading is called sunrise over Fallujah by Walter Myers I am currently on page 45. If I could ask the author 2 questions about the book, the first question I would ask would be, "how had was it being in the military while you worried about your family?", because while reading I put myself in his shoes. The second question that I would ask "How long were you in the military for before your dad found out?" , because I was very curious while reading the book. One way I think the author would respond to my question is will a slick comment because in the story he seems like a jerk. Another way I feel the author would response in a funny way to because he also has a sense of humor in the book.
@kjones3
great post hope to see more good work.
