My book is called The Boy on the Wooden Box, I picked this book because I have always been into anything about the holocaust. So far in this book the main character Leon is telling his perspective on what all he went through before the holocaust happened. Reading the beginning of this book it really didn't drag me in but as I read on it pulled me in more and more.
ReplyDeleteKalynn, this book sounds really good and interesting. I hope that the book gets a little better where it starts to pull you more into it.
DeleteKalynn, it is good you found a book you are interested in. Hopefully the book picks up more and more.
DeleteThis sounds very interesting and cool! Hopefully it will pull you in!
DeleteThe book that I choose to read is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I picked this book because I read A Thousand Splendid Sons which is his 2nd book and I really enjoyed reading the book and I wanted to see what his 1st book is about. So far the two main characters are Amir and Hassan and Hassan is Amir's servant and lives in a shack outside his house. Amir is not supposed to be friends with his servant but deep down Hassan is the only one that he hangs out with. Hassan got his face fixed by a plastic surgeon and the kite fighting tournament has began next winter. The beginning of the book was very slow and it didn't drag me to read it but it started to pull me more into the book and its starting to get a little better.
ReplyDeleteAddison, i read the Kite Runner for my last book, i really enjoyed it buy it was not what I thought it was going to be. I really liked the begging and the end of the book, the middle did nothing for me, I am curious to see your thoughts on it as well. I hope you enjoy it, do you like it so far?
DeleteI chose the book Money Ball by Michael Lewis and the reason I picked this book for my last one is because I wanted to end it reading something I like reading about. My book is about a former player named Billy Beane and he is hired by the Oakland Athletics to put together a winning team with Barley any money and right after their two best players left. He has to find a strategic way to get good players without spending all of their money and within just a couple months.
ReplyDeletei read this book a ways back and i really enjoyed it i hope u like it
Deletethis book sounds really interesting, i hope you enjoy it
Deletei chose the book the hobbit because i have watched the movies but realized that i have never read the book. so far the book is great i really enjoy hearing how j.r.r. tolkein uses descriptive words to explain what is happening and love how much similar the movies.
ReplyDeleteThe hobbit movie is good and i bet the book is also very good. It would be cool to see the differences between the movie and book.
Deletethe movies are always better than the book imo. hope you enjoy
DeleteIs the movie similar to the book ?
DeleteI have also watched the Hobbit movies but I have not read the story, I hope its a good read!
Deleteive always wanted to read this but never got the chance, hope its a good book for you.
Deleteyeah quit capping talan
DeleteI chose Black Brother Black Brother. It's a book Where the main charter (Donte) is a black kid in rich middle schooler and gets bullied by this kid how is "King Alen". He has a full blooded brother named Trey who is white. I think the only colored kid in the book is Donte. I chose this book because i hear about it and wanted to read it. So far I feel bad for Trey he feels like no one in the school likes him and bullies him besides from Trey, it's hard to not get mad when the principal calls to police when she was tired of dealing with him. Or the police where scared of the dad instead of they lawyer mom. Other then those moments I really like the book and hope it gets better for Donte
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like your book Hope. From what you described it sounds like a very interesting book. I have not read your book, but from what you described I may pick it up after I am done with my book. I really hope you can stay hooked in your book and I hope it does get better for Donte.
DeleteIt's good you like this book Hope, so far it sounds like a really good book and that its interested you so far.
Deleteim reading percy jackson the lightning thief, i chose this book because i love greek mythology and reading about it plus i was recommended this book by a ton of people and i can see why even just by reading not even 100 pages yet it has hooked me in and it just keeps getting better its about Percy jackson and his stugles with being a son of one of the big three gods poseidon at the beginning he thought he was just a weird loser kid that couldnt do anything right then when a monster attacks him on one of his field trips he understands that everything is not as it seems.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds interesting. I have heard Percy Jackson writes some good books. I am glad you enjoy a book that got recommended to you. The book sounds so interesting, but I am not very interested in Greek mythology personally, so I won't read it. I really hope you can stay hooked in your book and continue to enjoy it.
DeleteSounds like it is going to be a great book. He seems like he is going to turn out to be very strong.
DeleteI read this book and got to say your going to love it even more. Cant wait to hear more.
DeleteWe just did this as the spring musical and it was a fun musical so hopefully the book is just as good for you to read.
DeleteI am reading Eleanor and Park. When I read the book before I read about 15 pages, I never really got into it, so I decided to pick it up again. I chose it because I wanted to finish it. I am glad I did, I enjoy the book a lot more then I did. The book is very interesting, it has two main characters. Eleanor and Park and their pov's switch every chapter. We start with Park on the bus and get introduced to the bullies and then the new girl Eleanor. Eleanor ended up sitting in the same seat as Park as everyone already had their own seat on the bus, and she had no where to sit. The book is really interesting as you get to learn about Eleanor's and Park's life. I am hooked in my book and want to continue reading to find out what happened next.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds interesting I hope to hear more about it.
DeleteMy book that i chose is the silent patient, i chose this book because a couple of friends recommended it and it sounded really good. the process i took to find the book was looking up what it was about and then buying it. it just sounded interesting overall. the book starts off with the main character Alicia's diary, explaining why she was writing it. then it switches perspectives and starts to talk about how she paints and her husband Gabriel is a photography. then it flips to where it was explaining how Alicia killed her husband and never talked for years after. i was hooked right away because it is a fast moving book.
ReplyDeleteI have heard this book was so good and im glad you choose to purchase it and start reading it. After reading all the good things you say about it this might have to be the next book i read
DeleteDarcy, I read this book and I hope you enjoy and I hope to hear how you liked it after reading it.
DeleteThis sounds like a very great book, Darcy! I might have to read it sometime!
DeleteWOW, Darcy, this book seems like a great book. I am glad you got hooked right away, i am interested in this book! Do you think you would read another book by the same author?
Deletethis books sounds really good i might have to read it!
DeleteThis book sounds like it would be a great read and definitely would have me hooked
DeleteI have heard so many good reviews on this book, it sounds very interesting. I hope you enjoy the book!
DeleteThe book that i chose was Haunting Adeline, I chose this book because multiple friends of mine recommended it to me because they know i like the dark romance books. The reason i agreed to read it was because me and my friend have the same book interest so were constantly giving each other books to read. The book starts out with 2 main characters, Adeline Reilly who is a 20-year-old book writer who has a lot of fans so when she goes to her book shows tons of fans show up wanting her to sign their books. The 2nd main character is Zade Meadows who is a 31-year-old that is an assassin that tracks down and kills child rapist, Men that abuse and drug woman and child traffickers. when he first sees Adeline, he becomes obsessed and starts stalking her.
ReplyDeleteMy book is Game Changer by Neal Shusterman, i chose this book because it was the same author that wrote Scythe. I did not know what was getting myself into when picking this book. When starting the book i was confused why it seemed like a normal high school football book with drama, until he sacked a QB. Then small stuff changed like stop signs being blue. Each time he sacked a QB more and more stuff changed. He then went from living in the poor part of town to living in the gated community. The book is really confusing but is interesting seeing diffrent point of view.
ReplyDeleteWow! this book sounds really interesting, do you regret not looking into it more before choosing it?
Deletethis book sounds very interesting that sounds like a very interesting twist to a sports book!
DeleteThat's a cool twist in the plot, I wonder if there's something supernatural going on or if the main character just had a concussion.
Deleteseems very confusing but also very interesting hope you enjoy reading it!
DeleteI'm reading the book off the rim by Sonya Spreen Bates i think i I'm going to enjoy it I'm not very far in so no big shocker has happen yet just talks about basketball for the most part. You can tell that basketball means alot to dylan how there tying to make the playoff
ReplyDeletegood to hear your gonna enjoy it because you want to go big with baseball to the major leauge and stuff so its a little differnt.
Deletehopefully it continues to be a good book for you
Deletei chose to read the book running loose by cris crutcher. i chose to read this book because it was offered as the first book and i wanted it but didn't get it. i wanted this book because some of my friends got it and said it was a good book and i think ill be able to relate to it because the charictors are simmiler age and have simmiler intrests. my inital thoughts of this book are exactly what i thought it would be like. they start the season off getting their gear and the first practice.
ReplyDeleteim glaad you got to pick this book since you heard such good thigns about it. Im glad your idea of this book was what you thought so i bet you are enjoying readingg this way more
DeleteI read this book, and it does get really good and interesting as you continue in the book. I hope you enjoy it.
Deletei read this book and i think it was really good and had a good story to it hope you enjoy it.
DeleteThe book i choose to read was It Ends With Us by Collen Hover. And the reason i choose this was because i went to the movie right when i came out and i wanted to know what was differnt from the movie to the book. I didnt know how i would like it since i already watched the movie but it still caught my attention right away which i was so glad happened. It starts off by lily meeting this guy name ryle and as it gets further into the book he becomes more abussive which is so sad to see. Sometimes in this book i find myself confused between the characters but i still enjoy reading it
ReplyDeleteI have read this book and I really enjoyed it so I hope you feel the same when you finish it!
Deletecece i have read this book it is an awesome book, hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI have also read this book and enjoyed it! There are parts of the book that were missed in the movie that will keep you interested.
DeleteFor my third book I chose to read Pride and Prejudice. The reason I chose to read this book is because I have seen the movie and so then I wanted to read the book and I heard many good reviews on it. So far what I have read in the book is good, however it is a little difficult to understand some of the things being said since it is spoken in old English.
ReplyDeletethis sounds like an interesting book, i hope it gets easier to read the more you read it
DeleteLexi, hopefully the book ends up making sense. Why did you choose this book?
DeleteThis book sounds interesting and also good, I have also heard good reviews on it!
DeleteI tried to read this one last year, but it was too hard for me! Hopefully it will get easier as you get more used to it. I've heard great things about Pride and Prejudice!
DeleteI am reading One for the Murphy's, this book is about a girl whos mom is in the hospital and she gets puts into a foster home with boys and she doesnt like any of this. I choose this book because it was sort of a easy read and i understood the way it was. It starts off really slow but i think it will pick up.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like it could get interesting. Maybe she could start to like the foster home, and i hope you enjoy the book.
DeleteI choose the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner, I choose this book because one of my friend's recommended The Maze Runner to me and they said it was an interesting book and that I should read it. My initial thoughts for the book are it is a little confusing because Thomas randomly just happened to be in the maze after he was brought down by the "box". There was no specific reason that I choose the book. I have enjoyed the first part of the book and I hope that it continues to be good.
ReplyDeleteinteresting concept sounds like a vary good read
Deletei have not read the book personally but i have heard that it is an amazing book and theres also movies that i have heard are great as well
DeleteThe book I chose is called Whitetail Nation. I chose this book because it interested me ever since I got it. I didn't do a specific process do find this book, since its been sitting on a shelf for the past 8 years. And there was no specific reason why I chose this book. Much like my first book this trimester, it started off slow, but I'm sure it will pick up once we get into it.
ReplyDeleteIs it about whitetail deer?
DeleteFor my book I chose night by Elie Wiesel. I chose this book because the book looked very interesting the first time, we read but I was not able to read it at that time. My initial thoughts one the book are very good as it gets right into the action, but it can sometimes be very hard to read as it is very detailed. I am very hooked on this book because it is about WW2, and I have always been interested in those types of books.
ReplyDeletei feel like i can be hard to read also because of the grapic sences it puts in your head.
DeleteI also think it is a very good book and i love how it instantly jumps into the action and doesn't make you read a bunch of boring crap before it get juicy.
DeleteThe book I am reading is the Adoration of Jenna Fox. I read the back and i thought it was a very interesting story. It is about a 17 year old girl , Jenna, who wakes up from a year long coma, and lost a lot of her memory, she starts getting suspicious that her family is not her real family before her accident. She has so many questions about what is going on with her like why does she not have friends, why are people not calling her after a year long coma. Why did her family move to California the day she woke up from her coma, why is she not allowed to leave her house. And why can she remember details about the French revolution but not if this is her real mom or not? This is a very interesting book and i am already hooked.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very interesting and seems to have a lot of twists and turns, I wonder if she will find out if the her family is her real family or not.
DeleteThe book i chose is night. It is about a boy Elie who tries to survive the nazi camp auszwitz. i chose this books because my peers read it and they found it vary interesting. This book waste no time by the time the first chapter ends the nazis are already invading and taking control of there lives. As of right now this is one of the more scary and graphic books i have read. it seems like a constant nightmare and is vary educational.
ReplyDeleteThis book was very interesting and I think you will like it.
DeleteThis sounds like a very descriptive book I hope the rest of the book is good for you.
DeleteI have read the book night, i thought it was a great book. I do agree, the book jumps straight into the action. They do not waste any time going straight into the action with the jews and the Germans.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThe book I chose was, If I Stay- by Gayle Forman. I chose this book because I was giving the option to read this by the librarian. I told her the type of books I like and she gave me this one. I chose this one because she made it sound like a really great book, so I wanted t try it .My initial thoughts were this book is amazing, I am a very slow reader and i read about 50 pages in 45 mins. I was just very hooked on it from the start. It starts out with a little girl and her family on a snowy morning in February, they decided to go for a drive since school got canceled. They got into an accident and the parents both died, then the girl was able to see herself laying in the ditch and also walking around. I was very hooked in the beginning and I still am, it is a very great book! This is a phenomal book and I am very happy I choose this for my last book of high school!
That's a cool way you got recommended the book, maybe I should ask the librarian too sometime.
DeleteThe book I chose was the call of the wild by Jack London. I chose this book because i always seen it but never got the chance to read it. So far its of the a pretty interesting start with a lot of action as most books usually start slow this one don't. I'm very excited to see how the rest of the book goes as the beginning is good hopefully the rest is good to.
ReplyDeletei also like books that get right into it i hope your book stays good
Deletethe book i am reading is after life i chose this book because the librarian gave me a couple of options and she told me that this book is an easy quick read, and i knew i had to get the book done is a short amount of time so thats why i picked this one. in this book the main character is amber and she died 7 years ago from a hit and run but she has now came back to life, her mother is freaked out and dose not believe that this is her, but her dad and her sister know that it is her, but they do not want her to go out of the house, something that got me hooked was that she wants to go see her old boyfriend but her parents will not let her something is off about him. so far i like this book!
ReplyDeletethat is a very interesting book
DeleteI've read this book before! I think you will enjoy how it ends!
Deletei chose Night its about world war 2 and also life in the concentration camps and all the brutal stuff that comes with war. i chose to read night as my second book because i would read about other people talking about the book and i thought it would be interesting to read for myself. My first thoughts of the book so far is that its very straight to the point.
ReplyDeleteI chose Night by Elie Wiesel because I wanted to learn more about the Holocaust from someone who actually lived through it. I picked it after reading a short summary and because i wanted to read it last book but i did not get it and after realizing how powerful and real the story is. The book starts in Elie’s hometown where things seem normal at first. But everything changes quickly when the Nazis arrive. Elie and his family are forced out, and the fear and confusion are described so clearly it really pulls you in. Even though I’m only a few chapters in I can already tell this book will be emotional and intense but I’m ready to keep reading.
ReplyDeleteThis book only gets more interesting as it goes on and i think you will learn a lot about world war 2 and the Holocaust.
DeleteI thought night was a great book. It is really interesting, the way Elie Wiesel describes his whole story through WWII. It hooks you in by speaking about the way the Germans treat the jews in the camps.
DeleteI heard that it was a great book but sadly wasn't able to read it.
DeleteI am also reading this book Nene, and I am ready to keep reading this intense and emotional book too.
DeleteI think this book is going to be a very good read for you guys, especially considering how amazing of an author Elie Wiesel is! It definitely gets more interesting as you go.
DeleteThe book I chose is Dawn by Elie Wiesel. The main character Elisha is a world war 2 Holocaust survivor. I chose this book because I just finished the book Night by Elie Wiesel and I really liked the way he writes. Night was very interesting and educational, Dawn seems to be the same way just not about himself but a different Holocaust survivor who has already gone through it and not during the Holocaust. The book gets you hooked right away about talking about Elisha's past times in the concentration camps.
ReplyDeletethis book seems like a really good and eye opening read
DeleteI am reading Night by Elie Wiesel, and I also like the way Elie's style of writing in this book already.
Deletei choose the book speak. Melinda is the main character. She's friends with Heather and that it. She did something last year that made everyone hate her. She is now going through school with failing grades and almost no friends because she will not speak up about what happened last year. I chose speak because it sounded interesting when i picked it up and read the summary. I did not have a process to find the book, I knew i had to find one that week, so my eye was out for any book to read. I seen Speak and it stood out to me. I think this book is easy to follow along with, there are headings on each page, so if out missed something or forget what's going on, they make it easier to get back on track. It starts off describing her life in school, and how she does not do good in it but also, how she does not like it much. I think this book is easy to get in to, and i think i am mild hooked onto this book.
ReplyDeleteThe book I chose is called Be More Chill. I honestly picked this book because its been sitting on my bookshelf and I've never read it. The book is about a teen named Jeremy, who is considered uncool and gets bullied. Jeremy wants to go out with this girl Christine, but he isn't cool enough for her. Then he hears about this supercomputer pill called a SQUIP that will make him cooler. It is a relatively easy read for mean, which is nice considering how much time we have left. Unfortunately, I am not hooked and I am not enjoying the book so far. Nothing big has happened yet and the story is very jumpy and skips around a bunch. I am hoping it gets better as I go.
ReplyDeleteThe book does sound boring so far but it sounds like it has potently
DeleteThat sucks that you're not enjoying the book so far. I hope that it gets better for you as you continue to read it.
DeleteI chose to read the book Looking for Alaska by John Green. the main character is pudge who goes to Culver Creek private school looking for a "The Great Perhaps". I choose this book because all of the reviews made it sound extremely captivating and I'm glad I did. There are a lot of interesting events that take place in this book,.
ReplyDeleteCould you relate something from your life to the book
DeleteI chose to read It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover because I read It Starts With Us and wanted to read more about the story. Initially this book is very interesting. I like how it starts off right at the end of It Ends With us and continues the story. The book starts with Atlas and Lily running into each other in public and then reaching out to each other after. I am interested to read more and see how various relationships develop in the novel.
ReplyDeletei kinda wish i wouldve read it ends with us first, becasue thats the first one and im reading it starts with us so iv heard it gets a little confuing but im excited to keep reading
DeleteI chose the book called Purple Heart by Patricia McCormick. I honestly don't know why I chose this book to read thought it might be good and just grabbed it. No process was needed. Well it starts off where he's in the hospital in Afghanistan still and fighting the Taliban and all that and that's where I'm at so far. I'm hooked so far just hope it gets better.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting Will, I watched the movie and it was good but boring at times. I hope you can stay into the book, but your book choice is good.
DeleteSounds like an interesting book taking place during a war in a different country. Would be interesting to see how different of a life they live compared to America. I can't imagine having to live through a war that kills so many and wrecks towns completely to the ground.
DeleteI chose It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover I really like the books Colleen writes and how they hook me instantly. So far the book have been very good and I am hooked. The book has been very interesting and the way that Lily and Atlas are thinking about each other makes me think there will be something going on further down the road.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book before and I really enjoyed it and it also had me very hooked
DeleteI've heard good things about Colleen Hoover's books! Good thing you got hooked right away, it would be hard to have a book you weren't enjoying from the start. Is your book a love story?
DeleteI have not read this one but it is on my to read book list. I read the book before it and it was so good. Her stories she writes are very well written that I want to read them all.
Deletei am also reading this book and im finding this book pretty intresting. and im really intersted whats going to happen.
DeleteThe book I chose to read is The House Across The Lake. I chose this book because it sounded very interesting and enjoyable to me. The main reason I decided to read this book is because it seems like there is kind of a mystery and I enjoy reading books like that and it makes me hooked. This book starts off very interesting, Casey finds a girl drowning out in the lake and she ends up saving her. She then realizes who the girl is and her name is Katherine and they live right across from her on the lake.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good Cassie, I would like to read that myself. We both have something in common, we love mystery's because they get us hooked.
DeleteWow Cassie, that seems very intriguing. That would have got me hooked too. Our books are related in a way as the relationships in the books are brought on by bad situations.
DeleteGood thing Casey was there to save the girl! Sounds like a good read!
DeleteI am reading Local Woman Missing, I chose thus book because I bought it thinking I was going to read it and now I have time to read it. I read the back and I love mysteries so I was excited to see what I was going to be reading about. I am very interested, the first 20 pages were ehh but then I got really into it when it was other peoples perspective. I am certainly hooked now that these other perspectives came up. I am excited to see what else there is in store for my read.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Night by Elie Wiesel and I'm reading it because my peers read it and said it was a short book with a good message in it. When I chose this book for my last book I was looking for something short but still had a good plot and characters. My book starts with Elie being a normal kid then getting sent to Auschwitz with his family and getting separated from his mother and sisters. I am pretty hooked on it, and I think it will be a good book that keeps me reading it.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jaxen this is a very good book and i think it will keep you hooked the entire time your reading it.
DeleteMy book is Prince Caspian by C.S Lewis. I chose this book because its a little bit shorter and I've never read a fantasy book before. Its like the second or third entry in the Narnia series, which I didn't know before picking it but it hasn't been too difficult to follow along with what's happened so far in the story. I don't know if I would say I'm hooked yet because the main kids haven't really encountered anything very fantastical yet but they're easy enough characters to follow and i like hearing about what they had accomplished in previous books.
ReplyDeleteIts a pretty difficult thing to go straight to reading the middle of a series you don
Delete't know about, so props for sticking with this book and still understanding the story line.
I am reading King of Wraths. I choose this book because I had it at my house and I had all ready started to read it before class so I thought why start a new book when I can read the book I am already reading. The story gets you hooked pretty quick because they are in an arranged marriage and do not like each other and she doesn't know why they are and he is being blackmailed by her father. I am curious about what will happen in the end so I just want to keep reading to find out.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read Night by Elie Wiesel because i like books about World War 2 and after talking with my friends they all said it was a really good book about World War 2. I also chose this book because i wanted to learn more about World War 2 and what actually happened inside the concentration camps and how the Germans treated the Jews. The process in which i wen through to find this books was just talking with my friends that had to read it if it was a good book, and if it represented WWII. I don't think there was a specific reason i chose this book other than it being about the war. My initial thoughts about the book is that it is a very gruesome book with a lot of detail about how the Germans were treating the Jews and what happened to them in the ghettos and when they first arrived at Auschwitz.
ReplyDeleteI can also relate to your process of asking your friends if it is a good book, as my book was actually a recommendation by a close friend (Who also happened to buy me the set of my collection of Brandon Sanderson books).
DeleteI am reading The Grace Year by Kim Liggett. I chose this book because I've heard really good things about it and it seemed like something I would like. I knew I wanted to read something girly and fun, and this seems kind of girly. All the girls have to go off and get rid of their magic together so that seems interesting. So far, I'm really enjoying this book. I think that my author is very good at using descriptive detail, which makes it a lot more interesting. In my book right now, the girls are all getting ready to go to their Grace Year, which is when they get sent to a forest to get rid of their magic. I'm excited to see how they will survive and if anyone will get caught by the poachers (people that hunt Grace Year girls). Overall, I think that this book is starting off really good and I'm excited to continue it!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very good Vanessa! I love that the author uses descriptive details.
DeleteI feel like I almost read this book before. It sounds good so far! I might have to pick it up sometime!
Deleteim reading i tstarts with us by collen hoover. i chose this book becasue lots of my freinds have read it before and suggested me to read it so im giving it a try, and so far its pretty decent in chapter one atlas owns this resreant and it had gotten broken in to and they person only stole some crutons and atlas didnt bother to investigate becasue he remembered when he was homeless and it was hard but then the coworker worried about their other restrant getting broken in to because it wasnt far from the resterant that had gotten broken into. atlas also ran in to his little ex fling before we went into work so hes waiting for her to respond cuz they swaped info. chapter two is all about lilly witch her and atlas are reconecting but shes talking about like a exhusband that is abusive and hopes that the child relizes the ex husband isnt a good guy and doesnt want to stay with him.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book and it is very good! I hope you enjoy it, I also recommend watching the movie because it is very good!
DeleteI choose the book Verity by Colleen Hoover, I choose this book because I've heard many good things about it and a lot of people have told me i need to read it. Although I've had this book sitting on my shelf at home I have never read it because i never really had the time or got the chance. The book had a very unusual start, it started with Lowen, the main character, she watched someone get hit by a car. But since she lives in New York no one really seemed to care because i guess that is something that happens quite often. She meets Jeremy who has a wife but i feel like he is very flirty with Lowen, so i am excited to see where there relationship goes.
ReplyDeleteMy book is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson; I chose this book because I have been wanting to read it for quite a while and figured my best fight against continuing to procrastinate reading it would be to make it an assigned reading. I really like this book because of how easily I can relate it to a lot of my other past times, with one of my friends currently running a DND campaign in the very world this book is based in. I also really like this book because it does not shy away from showing the struggles of the characters, evening giving the reader such an unbridled view of their passions and weakness throughout the book, while not mincing words when it comes to the unsavory and sometimes-grisly scenes shown throughout. Overall, at this point in my reading I would highly recommend any book from The Stormlight Archive to anyone!
ReplyDeletethat sounds so cool i love to play d and d and i think all the fantasy aspects of this book would be very fun to read
DeleteSince this will be the last book i read in my school career, i wanted it to be a book that i actually gain knowledge from reading, not some pointless book with a pointless storyline. Which is why i chose to read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book was way different than how i expected it to be. It opened up a new way of thinking and going about life that i hadn't thought of before. Its shown me that school teaches you to work for money, but this book teaches you to have money work for you, and how to do it. I'm only just getting done with the first chapter and I'm not lying when i say that I've learned more from this book than high school has ever taught me.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the same book, and I completely agree. This is a book that should be required to read in every business or English class before student's graduate. The school systems across America do a horrific job at teaching kids about money and how to manage it. If schools did a better job at this, I firmly believe America would be a much better place financially. This book teaches you how to get out of the rat race that almost every single person finds themselves in, working for money and owning money. You can never get ahead financially which leads you to becoming a slave to money. You shouldn't work for money, money should work for you.
DeleteThe book that I chose to read was Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki is a well-known millionaire earning his wealth from real estate and other businesses he has started or ran throughout the years. I chose this book because it is known to be one of the best business books you can read. This is a book that everyone recommends you must read, and it was gifted to me by one of my financial advisors. I am very hooked so far because with it being a business minded book, it makes you think in different ways then any traditional book found in school. It changes your mindset completely as you read and that is what I like. So far, Robert Kiyosaki and his friend Mike are just nine years old, and they are set out to make money. The two friends go to Mikes Rich Dad for advice because Robert's dad is considered Poor Dad. Even though Roberts dad makes a very good income, he does not know how to manage his money or how to diversify and expand his net worth. However, Rich Dad (Mikes dad) owns multiple businesses and is very business minded. The huge motto for this book is to not become a slave for money. You shouldn't work for money, money should work for you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book but from how your explaining it i think i would really enjoy reading it myself, seems essential to everyone.
DeleteI chose The Formula by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg, i chose it because i was in a bookstore with my mom and i saw the cover, i like racing and F1 so i thought it would be cool to learn more about the history of the sport and find some new things out. So far i like it a lot, it has some very interesting things that i never knew about F1 like the early controverses and scandals, the book starts in the early stages of the sport so it will be cool to learn more things about modern F1.
ReplyDeletethat sounds very interesting i would love to read that book to hear more about the scandals i didnt know f1 was dramatic enough to have scandals
Deletewould you recomend this book to other people and would others enjoy it
DeleteI chose the book Night by Elie Wiesel; I chose this book because it looked very interesting and also talks about a person's experience while being in the holocaust and also how he survived it. So far, the book is very interesting throughout the book you're in Elies's perspective and he describes all the horrible things that he sees, smells, tastes. And does a really good job trying to put the readers in his shoes. I've also learned a lot more about the holocaust and how bad Germans were to the Jews throughout the story Elie sees kids dumped in a pile and lit on fire he has seen SS officers beat jews to death, and saw his father who he looked up to scared for his life in the situation thinking there is no way out so I'm very curious on how Elie survives and what happens after the holocaust for elie
ReplyDeleteI agree this book starts off very strong and goes over some very graphic events very early in the book.
DeleteI just started reading No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. I picked it because I’ve been interested in books that go deep into emotions and the psychological ideals within people. My book was recommended to me by someone I used to work with. They described it as a “Mind F—k" and it intrigued me. The book so far is amazing. It starts with in-depth descriptions of how this is based on a true story and the main character, since birth, has never felt truly human. Specifically, how when they were young, they were never truly hungry or tired. They never felt guilt, shame, or true happiness because from birth they did not know what it meant to be human or how to form a relationship with other “humans.” The book goes on to explain how this develops in the main characters' youth. I am hooked.
ReplyDeleteI am reading 'Night' by Elie Wiesel and i chose this book because i really enjoy learning about the holocaust and seeing the hardships they went through in this time when at this point and still it is the largest mass genocide ever. I am a little into the book now, but the book starts in Elies's hometown where everything was peaceful until all hell broke loose when the Nazis came and invade their town, the graphic secnes they explain in the first little bit of the book is stuff you will never forget. Like when they were throwing little babies in the air and shooting them for fun.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Night I chose it because I wanted to learn more about what happened at the concentration camps. The focus of this novel is that it describes Elie Wiesel's real life experiences while in the concentration camps. After reading the first initial chapters of the book my initial thoughts are that I think the book is starting of slow and it has been a little confusing with some of the different places . I hope that the book will eventually get more fast pace and more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book Jenny, I was first going to choose this book as my third book but I started hearing more about The Kite Runner and that book interested me more.
