I picked Be Not Far From Me by Mindy McGinnis. It is a horror book set in a state forest. A bunch of high schoolers are meeting up at a campsite to have fun for their last summer. Yet we find out Ashley's (the narrator's) boyfriend is cheating on her when she walks up to him and his ex having sex in the woods. This puts her in a rage, causing her to start running and running until she is lost. so far the start of the book has been eventful and filled with good humor, it almost seems like an actual high schooler wrote this book with the dialect.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems interesting, seems like you like your book. It has a weird start to the story line but seems like it will end up being a good book.
DeleteI chose the book night. i chose this book because a lot of my classmates said it was pretty good and they couldn't put it down. My book started by Eli explaining how he survived was a miracle. and how the Nazis would kill the jews, then burn them. I am hooked at this point, even though I've only read about 10-20 pages. Its getting interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the same book, and it's interesting. I'm a little further ahead of you, but the beginning of the book is good as well.
Deletewhat has keeped you hooked in this book and did it hook you from the begining or did it take a while
DeleteI have not read this book, but I heard that some of my classmates enjoyed this book. I can kind of relate it back to my last novel of "I am Malala," since it was about war and people taking over. If your peers said they liked it, it should be a good read. I'm glad you are hooked, I am hooked on my new book as well called "Verity." When you said "how Eli survived was a miracle," what did he survive? I hope the book keeps getting more interesting for you.
DeleteI read Night for our last book! It is a really interesting book but it is also hard because it can be so graphic.
Deletemy book is the same it hooks you right away.
Deletei agree the book does a good job at keeping you hooked the whole time.
Deletei also think my book hooks you right away as well , night is definitely a good read.
DeleteI also read this book, and I think you will really enjoy it. Night was definitely an eye-opener for me.
Deletei chose the book Tuck Everlasting its a book about a girl getting kidnapped i choose this book because i had someone recommended it too me and it sounded good. so far its a good book it keeps you hooked in to the book
ReplyDeleteWhat lead this girl to get kidnapped? Also, what keeps you hooked?
DeleteHow was she kidnapped and do you think she'll be saved?
Deletei chose the book A Child Called "It" i chose this book because I've always wanted to read it and Reece was reading it and she said it was really good. My initial thought on this book was that it got you hooked right away but also it kind of at times made me want to stop reading because of the horrific things that mother does to David.
ReplyDeleteI heard this book was interesting, and has a lot of horrific things in it. But I hope you get hooked and start liking it. What are some things the mother does to David?
DeleteI have also read this book. I think it is a good read, but has some scenes that can be super graphic because of the amount of trauma the child endured during his childhood. It really shows you how different some kids have it from others. But, I think it has a good meaning behind it. I also think it sheds light on how child abuse affects someone. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Deleteive seen and heard a lot about this book it seems like a good read.
DeleteI agree! Makes me feel sick to my stomach at times.
DeleteThe book i choose is Night, i choose it because i heard it was a good book from other classmates. The book is really interesting right now since they are in the train car and going to the concentration camp, not really into the book as much as i thought i would be but it is a good book.
ReplyDeleteim seeing a lot of people choose night because other classmates liked it, im glad the enjoyment is going around
Deletei read this book i liked how he explains everything in detail because it makes the book easier to understand and want to keep reading.
DeleteSo far it seems like many people like this book. I'm sure its very interesting. I'm reading Elon musk and so far its just talking about how he has traveled just like yours.
Deletei Read this book last time and i thought it was a very good book
DeleteThe book that I chose was "Verity," by Colleen Hoover. I chose this book because all of my friends recommended it, and said that it is a really good read. I have already read some of Colleen Hoovers books, and I have liked them, so I thought this would be a good fit. My initial thoughts on my book is that I am going to really like it. It starts out about an author/writer who is struggling with money, and is getting evicted from her apartment. But then she gets an offer of a lifetime to finish a different authors/writers series, who is super famous, after this author got in a car accident and can no longer finish the series. I am already hooked on this book, and want to keep reading each time I put it down.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds really good and interesting i heard lots of people liked this read.
DeleteI agree this book was so hard for me to put down when I read it. It had so many plot twists that kept me wondering and wanting to read more.

DeleteI chose the book A Child Called "It". I enjoy auto-biographies because they are true stories. I was going to read this book anyway because I saw a TikTok about it. I really like this book, its really sad seeing David, the main character, being treated so badly by his mother. It is a great book and its hard to put down.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like it is good, and is definitely interesting
DeleteI read this book when I was younger and it was a great book to realize that everyone has something of their own that they go through and you cant always tell. This book was a very hard read because of everything he had to go through. I want to dead the other books that go along with it.
Deletethis book sounds very interesting i hear its a good book.
DeleteI am also reading this book, i agree that it is sad seeing David get treated so badly by his mother. I wonder why he never tried to do anything to get out of the home.

DeleteMy book is Elon Musk. I chose this book because he is very interesting and i wanted to learn more about him. I was in the library looking for a book and Elon Musk caught my eye. I really like the book. Its interesting to learn about where he came from and what life he lived before being known. It starts out telling the readers about where he lived and how he started his first business.
ReplyDeletethis sounds very interesting to learn what one of the richest men in the world's life was like before he had all of the money he has now. and you might be able to learn from this book as well like how to start your own business.
Deletedose the book talk about how he became rich and how he started tesla?
Deletethis sounds like a very interesting book. I feel like you can definitely learn a lot about success from him.
Deletei chose look out for the little guy by scott lang. the reason i chose this is because I'm a fan of marvel and i thought it would be neat to read a book put out by them. basically its everything that happens from Antman to endgame but from Antman's perspective. its a neat lil book.
ReplyDeleteis this book from the movie or a spinoff
DeleteIs there more than one character, if so, which one is your favorite?

Deletei choose the book night by Elie Wiesel. the reason i choose it was because this book had always been an option in every English class but i never got the chance to read it. I thought that this book was going to be similar to other holocaust books I've read but its very different.

DeleteThe book I chose "The Cheat Sheet'' By Sarah Adams, this book was recommended to me by my sister because she enjoyed it, i like this book because its main characters are around age so it is easy to understand the language and theme of the book.

DeleteI am reding night by Elie Wiesel. I chose this book because i am very interested in war and the things that happened during. i knew i wanted this book last time i just asked the librarian for it. I am hooked to the book because there are so many plot twists and things i didn't see coming in the book.
ReplyDeleteI'm also interested in the war books. I like to learn about history so maybe your book would be a good book to read about. What war does this book focus on?

ReplyDeleteSounds good, there are a lot of good football books out there
DeleteI am reading the book Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, the reason i chose this book is because its all about navy seals connecting what they learned in basic training and in combat and connecting it to business to help them succeed. They emphasize on Extreme ownership, where the leader takes 100% of the blame for what happens and that makes a better team all around. This drew me in because i plan to own my own business someday an the lessons this book give might be useable by me in the future. the book starts off with some action to get you hooked and it definitely worked on me, overall i am enjoying this book and learning from the lessons it has to offer.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Night by Elie Wiesel the reason i picked this book is because it was the one i wanted to read last time and i didn't get the chance to do that. the reason i wanted to read night is because i heard it was about the holocaust and i am interested in war stuff. my initial thoughts on the book are good its not very slow and it has a good pace. I'm not hooked yet but that might be because nothing extreme has happened yet.
ReplyDeleteI read this book and I do agree it takes awhile for something extreme to happen.
Deletei agree with you i'm reading the same book and it is very fast paced i enjoy a book that doesn't take forever to tell a story
DeleteI am reading the book The House of my Mother by Shari Franke. My book is about the youtubers eight passengers. Shari the eldest daughter is telling us how violent her mother gets to be and how phycological she is. I chose this book because when I was younger I watched them on YouTube and I wanted to know the behind the scenes and how her mom was so cruel to them. The book starts off with the scene of Ruby her mom and her partner Jodi getting arrested. It did slow down a little bit but it keeps building up. I did not know how hard those kids had it and their dad did not try to help of protect them.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The College Scam by Charlie Kirk, it is about how college cost way too much for what you get, the value of a college education has drastically decreased, and how a college degree no longer guarantees you a job. I chose this book because I have never really wanted to go to college and I heard this was a good book to read if you were unsure of going to college. It seems to be very factual and has a lot of statistics in it.
ReplyDeletealways wanted to read it to see what he has to say
DeleteI chose the book Confess by Colleen Hoover, I Chose this book because I have read many other books by Colleen Hoover and enjoyed them. I decided to get another book by this author. Initially i was a little confused because it started out when Auburn was young and her boyfriend died of cancer. Then it jumped to five years later when she was living in New York. after I read some more it started to make sense and come together.
ReplyDeleteI have also read many of her books and I like them but I feel like a lot of her books have a very confusing start to them. Her books are always very intriguing but the beginning of them always have me confused until you get a little bit deeper into it.
DeleteI choose The Witcher: Time of Contempt by Andrzej Sapkowski. I choose this book because it is part of a series and I thought this was a good class to be able to continue that series. The book so far is slow and doesn't involve to much so far. This book also has a tendency to jump from one character to another in order to keep the reader from putting the book down. This book involves a person called a Witcher (one of the main characters) who is going through killing monsters for money.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the game and the show but I didn't know it had a book. Sounds cool.
Deletei am reading hero by Jennifer li Shotz. The reason i chose this book i read one of her other books called max it was a really good boy and in the back of it it had a couple of pages taking about this book and the 2 others that go with it. how my book started was at the begging it talk about how hero a police do that has been on the police force for 8 years and he one of the best dogs on the force and it talks how hero can enjoy his retirement and then it talk about a little boy name ben i know how are they attach to each other will hero is ben dad partner and bens dad wants hero to be bens dog and then they start practicing for baseball and as soon as ben hit the ball as far as he can and it go in the woods hero run after it and finds a puppy they call scout. but there something you need to know about scout. scout is not a regular do he is a dog that was used as a dog that will make other dogs mad in a dog fight club so when they found he was all bitten up and bleeding and skinny and scared of every thing. so ben and hero are trying to train him to be less jumping and that is were i left off.
ReplyDeleteHow did you hear about this book?
DeleteI chose the book "The Cabin" by Natasha Preston. I found this book through a friend of mine who just read it and said it was very good. My book is about a group of kids that take a weekend trip to one of their cabins. They are all having fun doing things their parents told them not to do. When they wake up in the morning and something has happened to a couple of them and nobody can figure out how. It is a mystery book which is my favorite kind of books to read. It has a fast start and I never want to put it down.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading the book night my book is about a family who has to go threw the horrors of Auschwitz as of right now in the book family's have been deported to a concentration camp and taken from there homes the things they have to go threw just in the box cars i couldn't imagine anyone having to deal with i couldn't wish something like this upon anyone.
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you that as I read this book I could not believe people were being treated like this. The way they were treated so poorly and beaten or killed some things so minor.
DeleteI chose the book "Crazy Dangerous" by Andrew Klavan I chose this book because it looked like a very intresting realistic fiction book. The book is about an innocent kid named Sam that gets taken in by a gang and he has to impress them by stealing cars. I would not say I am hooked yet because not much has happened.
ReplyDeleteThe book I chose was Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis. This book is about a world where all of the drinking water in the major cities is filled with a disease. This kills a lot of people and as left the remaining people fighting and killing one another over ponds and lakes. It starts off with a mother and her daughter living on a farm together defending their pond against 8 men attacking at night. I would say i'm hooked to it a little, wondering if the group will come back or someone else will attack them.
ReplyDeleteThe book I chose was The Mist by Stephen King. In this book, David and his son Billy are trapped in a grocery store because the outside is filled with this thick mist. The monster inside tries to kill everyone inside, and David and the other shoppers try to escape or get help any way they can. I don't think I'm hooked yet, only because nothing major has happened yet.
ReplyDeleteFor my book i chose Lost in the Antarctic by Tod Olson, a boat is lost at sea and the crew members are trapped in the thick ice of the Weddell Sea. For my 3rd book i was looking for a history non-fiction type of book, I wanted to find more of a challenging book for me. The men are lost 1,000 of miles away in 0 degree weather trying to serve. the more i read the more hooked i get. at first the book was taking forever but its getting easier.
ReplyDeletei chose sea of thieves heart of fire. i chose this book because its the story for a game a used to play a few years ago, ive always had the book but never a good enough reason to read it, this book is about pirates discovering new waters called the sea of thieves named by the founder the pirate lord. him and his crew venture throughout the new waters but encounter a new adversary named captain flameheart. his motives to kill all that sail the seas has made the pirate lord take action in finding an ancient power called the shroudbreaker in order to save the seas
ReplyDeleteI chose Project 1065 its about a boy named micheal the son of the isrish ambsador who joins the hitler youth to spy on the nazis, ive always liked ww2 books i dont know why there just interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteThe book i’m reading is Out of my Mind. I chose this book because I wanted to know how Melody lived her life since she could talk or walk. I didn’t really go through a lot I talked to Meyer. My book starts out pretty weird and I was really confused on what was going on with Melody. I wasn’t hooked at first but now i’m hooked after reading half way.
