I am reading Room by Emma Donoghue, This book is very interesting and makes you think. It was confusing to me at first how the boy personifies all of the furniture in his room. I want to keep reading on to understand why they are in that room and who exactly "Old Nick" is. I think it is cute that the boy thinks Dora is actually talking to him. I chose this book because it sounded interesting. I also knew that it was turned into a movie, so if it was good enough to be turned into movie it must be good enough to read.

I have chosen the book Story of a Girl. I really enjoy this book so far. I chose this book, because it really relates to high school students and how they react to situations that happened. I wasn't so sure on picking this book, but once I started reading it, I really got into it and it has a lot of action. Story of a Girl has sort of a plot of a girl who is under legal age and is dating this older guy that she's not suppose to be with... The guy tells his friends that she's "crazy." It relates so much of what high school is really like and how people are to each other.

I haven’t started my book yet. I plan to read a couple this weekend and hopefully after that every day. The last thing I want to do is have to read the whole book in less than two days. I chose this book because the title caught my attention. It makes it sound like some kids are going during their summer break and building a fort where they make fires and build whatever else they want to build. It sounds a lot like what we did when I was little living in Assaria. I look back now at how much fun it was but in the end how hurt we could have gotten if something went wrong.

I'm kind of glad I got the book I wanted. My book is called "After Tupac and D Foster". I chose this book for the reason that I love Tupac's music. I felt that if I read a book about him , then I will be able to see what his experience or thought of life was. I made a great choice, because so far I love the book. In all honesty, i am not a big reader, but i am actually pretty excited. I'm half way through the reading, so that's a start. I'm pretty confident with my selection.

So far I am enjoying my book. I'm not really that far into it, but it already has some action and comedy. I also like the main character in the book because he has a funny persona. I chose the book "I Am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak. I chose this book because of what you said about it when presenting books in class. I also chose this book because Mrs. Marshall strongly recommended it and said that even people that don't like to read usually enjoy this book and can't put it down. I need six more words. Done.

It is a very exciting book, there is a search for buried treasure, The main character has set off to fulfill his destiny, and also meet the of his dreams. I chose this book because it's only one hundred seventy five pages, so it is a shorter book then most. And also it seemed like a really really interesting book. So far it has been a good book and i'm really glad I chose this book. I am looking forward to continuing reading it and see what kind of adventures are in store for the main character and for me.

My book, Water For Elephants is amazing. I have only had it for 3 days and am already 3/4 of the way done. It is an easy read book and it also helps that there is a movie about it as well. I chose this book because I have also seen the movie a while ago, and wondered how alike the book would be in comparison to the movie. It turns out the book is way more detailed which I actually thought I wouldnt like at first but now I love it. Also, this was not my only book choice I had. There was another one but Mrs. Marshall helped me decide and I am so glad I chose this one. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good book.

I picked After By Amy Efaw as my last book. I hadn't read very much at all but it is already interesting in a way. I picked this book because I have always wondered how somebody could just leave their baby like that and totally forgot about them, it's insane. It was easy to choose since this topic interests me.

The book that I have chosen to read is “Going After Cacciato” by Tim O’Brien. I chose this book because I really like stories about combat during WWI, WWII, and others. This book is really interesting, tells a lot about the Vietnam War. A very well written book, filled with in depth detail about the Vietnam war, and many graphic scenes as well. I also picked this story because I like listening to war veteran stories. Tim O’Brien, being a veteran of the Vietnam War, has created, in my opinion, one of the best war stories from the Vietnam War era.

I have heard great things about this book. I have read two other books by John Green and I read both of them within the same week and I usually do not read very many books unless I love them, so I am excited to start this book. I read the fault in the stars and paper towns and I read them before they became movies. I love the way he rights because it flows so great and it is very relatable. I haven't actually started reading this yet but I probably will this weekend. Someone explained this book to me and it seemed like a very funny and interesting book to read so I am excited to see how it goes.

I have not yet received my book that I chose for the final project. The book that I chose to read is Prodigy which follows Legend. I read Legend for our group project and enjoyed it greatly. I have heard many good things about this book series. I hope that Prodigy is just as good or better than Legend was. They drew my attention so I didn't want to put the book down. I chose to read this book because I just finished reading Legend and enjoyed it so much. I also heard how great of a series these books are so I want to read all of them.

I chose the book 1984 by George Orwell. My reaction to the book so far is one that I have heard from many other people that have read the book.1984 is the stark realization of a future that is controlled by an oppressive and all encompassing authoritarian government under the control of “Big Brother.” The all-knowing power of this government is furthered by censorship and the thought police. One of the things that I have noticed about the book so far is that there are many modern day principles that I see in our government that are practiced by Big Brother. I chose to read this book because I have wanted to read it on my own time for a while now, and it’s even better if I can get a grade out of reading it.

I chose The Body of Christopher Reed because it's a mystery and I love mysteries. They make me want to keep reading and know the answers. I'm not very far in it so it is still pretty slow so far. Although it's slow right now I know it will pick up pretty quick. It's about a boy who has mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The only clue is a message he wrote 24 hours before he disappeared.
