My book I chose is Be Not Far From Me By Mindy McGinnis. I chose this book because it is a suspenseful book and I like that genre of books. My process of finding this book: I went to the library, picked up this book, read a few pages of it, and by just reading a few pages I knew this book was the one! So far I really like it! It starts out with Ashley who is a junior in high school who is going to a party in a large forest/timber with some friends because summer break has just begun. Her boyfriend and his ex girlfriend are at this party and that's where it all begins.
ReplyDeletei would have like it if i could have choose a book i liked, but i need to finished this.
Deletethis sounds like it would be a good book because I also like books that are suspenseful.
DeleteThat sounds like a interesting book. I am enjoy reading suspenseful books as well.
DeleteI love suspenseful books, those are the best to read! I have never read this book, but it does sound interesting!
Deletethis book sounds really good, i like the detail is so interesting
DeleteThe book I chose is Stalling For Time By Gary Noesner. The reason why i chose this book was because I had this random fascination of the Waco siege lately. So far it began with a hostage situation and Gary having to come in and help with the problem and then leading up to how and why he chose his career. Which I thought was very cool to learn how he goes from being a substitute teacher to a FBI agent. The one thing I don't like so far is the long chapters and as of right now I'm still on chapter 2 that I started yesterday.
ReplyDeletewell i do not like long chapters too
Deletemy book has long chapters but it's about a fun time period
DeleteI hate long chapters as well. I am excited to hear more about your book in our group.
Deletei wouldnt be a fan of it if it has long chapters
Deletethe jump from substitute teacher and an FBI agent is really big I think it would be nice to see how he does it. I don't think I could read this book with the really long chapters though I would get bored.
DeleteMy book is similar to yours in the way the main character is transformed. For instance, you mentioned your character goes from a substitute teacher to an FBI agent. My character goes from being a servant for a rich, middle-aged woman to being a married, wealthy woman in charge of a British estate. I, also, understand what you mean about the long chapters and having a lot of words on a page.
Deletemy book is ballad of the whiskey robber and talks about a guy who moves to another country but it is still in a communist government. i choose this book because i need to finish it for another class. well at fist i was reading the book and did not understood much of it until i got more in to it. it started by telling us how the process of him trying to cross the border was.
ReplyDeletedo you like the book, it has an intresting title
DeleteThis book sounds really interesting
DeleteMy book is about Vietnam and their government is also run by Communists.
DeleteMine has a lot about the FBI and the government
Deletethe book that i picked is Navajo Code Talkers i chose it because i like history and the main part of the book is about world war 2 code talkers. the book grabs you and makes you want to keep reading it in the first five pages. it starts with what the book is about then it goes in to the history of the Navajo and how they were being treated.
ReplyDeleteMy book is also a historic book but it it about the US involvement in Vietnam.
DeleteWhen I read this book I really enjoyed it and it was able to keep me involved in the book the whole time reading it.
DeleteI am also interested in WW2 and sounds like an interesting book so far!
Deletemy book is called V for vendetta, and the book is about a killer on the loose that is in a world where people are kept away from society and never know what its like to be free really. everyone thinks that the killer on the loose is bad, but really he is doing a good thing. I chose this book because I love action and intense books, and this book is a graphic novel book and so the words are very small to read, but very realistic. so, i really love the book so far, (there are a lot of deaths though,) but it begins with a broadcast (this takes place in London btw) over the town by a local news room, telling everyone what time it is, the weather, the time when it'll rain all that stuff; but what is really weird is that they have security cams everywhere and it almost seems like they are the actual bad guys.
ReplyDeleteIn a sense my book is similar to yours because people in the other world only believe in one religion and anything that goes against that is a bad thing, like the main character doesn’t want to help, he just wants to get back to earth, so the church decides he is a heretic.
DeleteI chose the book Michael Vey the prisoner of cell 25. I chose this book because this was one of my favorite books to read in 8th grade and every time, I finished one of these books I would have to wait another year for the next one but now since the whole book series is out, I want to start over and read from the beginning to the end without having to wait. One the reasons why I chose this was every time think about reading this book, I always remember the time I first time I picked this book up. I was in the library and a kid said that he didn’t want to find where on the shelf to put it back, so he just gave to me and I just started to read it. When I first got this book, I thought it would be boring like all the other books I have read but after reading a few pages it got me hooked and I am still hooked to this day. It starts with a boy just like you or me, but he has a secret that would scare anyone if they found out.
ReplyDeleteyour book sounds very suspenseful and sounds a little bit like the Piercy Jackson series
Deletethe title of your book sounds like it's an interesting book
DeleteThe reason I chose my book is almost the same as yours I had loved the previous books and the seventh book came out not to long ago, but I hadn't bought it yet, so this gave me the motivation to buy it and continue reading.
DeleteI chose my book for a similar reason
DeleteSounds like a really interesting book and I got hooked on my book series in a really similar way
Deleteit sounds like a good book, one that you seem very interested about.
DeleteI chose As A Driven leaf and I chose it because I know my mom reads more upper level books and i saw this one and read a little bit of it and it's a Greek book and I like books about romans and the Greek mythology it starts at the end of the first century and so far i'm hooked on it because its about something I like.
ReplyDeletecould you tell me more about this book, i am a big history nerd and so i know that its greek, but what more is about it that you like?
Deletei also like `greek stories so i might have to check that out
DeleteGreek books always seem like they're interesting to read, its also fun getting to learn about a different culture too.
DeleteMy book is the road by Cormac mccarthy the book is about a group of people traveling down an abandaned road in a post apocalyptic world. I chose this book because it reminded me of the video game fallout. Im not too far yet but im pretty hooked so far
ReplyDeletePayson Hofstetter
DeleteSounds like a great book because Fallout was a good game and I really liked it.
Colton Heacock:my book is called "The lost boy" i chose this book because ive read this book before and it is a good book this book is a seaqual to the book "A boy called it" it is about a boy that was abused by his mother when he was in elementary school. now in my book he is sent to foster care and trys to get away from his birth mother and every time she sees her son she threatens him
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds really interesting, but also kind of heartbreaking that his mom is that way to him!
DeleteMy Book's name is Arifureta and this book is about a class of students who get transported to another world and are the summoned "Heroes" that are supposed to defeat the Demon king. The reason I chose this book was because it was the seventh book in the series. I got hooked on the book series after reading the comic version of the story.
ReplyDeleteI have watched some of the anime and read the manga and I have got to say there is quite a lot of drama.
DeleteThis is almost like some supernatural stuff but it sounds very interesting!
Deletefor my third book I am reading Overlord. this book is about a guy who is isekaied (transported to another world/dimension) into a copy of his favorite game. I choose this book mostly based on that and the fact that I have watched the anime. I also just love the isekai genre in general. I really only found the book cause I was at Bam and just happend to see it and was like that looks good and just bought it. since them it has just been sitting in my room for about 2-3 months unread.
ReplyDeletePayson Hofstetter
ReplyDeleteI choose to read Dear Martin and it is about a helpful young kid that gets put in handcuffs. I choose this because one of my friends told me to read it and there was no process of picking it. So far the book has been chaotic from his drunk friend to him being arrested from a racist cop. The book has hooked me and i cant wait to read more.
I read the book Dear Martin and it is a very good and emotional story but makes realize what the world is like.
DeleteThis sounds like a really suspenseful book. It seems to tie into today with the racism as well.
Deletei read that book and it was a really good book
DeleteThat seems like a good book with drama in it.
Deletei read this book, it was one of my favorites, it was making me want to keep reading even if i wanted to stop reading.
DeleteMy book is named The Fallout and its about a family who just escaped from an underground bunker they were trapped in by their father. this is the second book and it picks up right after the first book ends and the family is trying to get their lives back to normal. i chose this book because i read the first book of the two and i thought it was good so i wanted to give the second book a chance.
ReplyDeletePayson Hofstetter
DeleteSounds like a great book and I can relate it with my book because the main character wants everything to be normal too.
I think I read this book because the way you are describing it sounds really familiar! From what I remember it is super suspensful!
DeleteThe book I'm reading is titled They Both Die at the End, its about two teenagers who get told they have 24 hours left to live. they become friends and try to live out a lifetime in a day. I choose to read this book because it has been on my shelf for a few months, and I just haven't had time to read it. so far I'm not really hooked on it but I am not to far into the book yet.
ReplyDeleteSound like your book will have a lot of drama but still sound enjoyable to read
DeleteThat’s the way I am in my book, I’m not far enough into the book to know if I’m really hooked or not. Your book sounds good.
DeleteThis sounds like a very intersting book and something i would read.
DeleteMy book is called Rangers Apprentice The Missing Prince and its about Rangers that go out and keep peace in the kingdom. The reason I picked this book is I have been reading this series for a long time and this is the newest book in the series. I got hooked on the series because the first book was amazing and I've read every book since.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the novel Sweetness by Jeff Pearlman. This story is about the life of the football legend Walter Payton who played for the Chicago Bears back in the 1970s and 80s. I picked this book because I love to read documentary style books that are true stories about peoples lives. I am also a huge Chicago Bears fan and reading this book puts a special place in my heart with how amazing of a player and person Walter Payton was. I just started the book learning about Walters early years of his life and it is a very good book so far I can't wait to read this book.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The United States in the Vietnam War by Don Lawson. I went to the library looking for an book really and i came across this one so i looked at it and it seemed like a decent book to read and learn about. It is more of a history lesson kind of in the fact of teaching people just how the US got involved in the Vietnam war and what we were involved with before we actually got involved. For example we funded the French in Indochina before the Communists took over.
ReplyDeleteYour book choice sounds very interesting. I love history and learning about our involvement in Vietnam is definitely something I want to do.
DeleteTopics about the war are very interesting. This books seems like it is very informative.
Deletebooks about history can be interesting and entertaining to read.
Deletethat book sounds vary interesting
DeleteYour book sounds interesting because I like to learn about history. Can't wait to read what happens in your book
DeleteI chose to read Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur because it has been on my to read list since I heard about it. It's not your typical book, it's just a book full of poems by the same person. It’s something different and I like it. It doesn’t really have a beginning, a middle, or an end, it’s just a bunch of poems.
ReplyDeleteThis book was my FAVORITE when i read it! I hope you enjoy it as much as i did
Deletei really seem interested in this book, im going to read it.
DeleteI chose the book Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, because it appealed to me as a classic romantic suspense novel, which took place around the 1930s. I chose this book randomly, as I browsed books in a bookstore. The novel piqued my interest when I learned that Rebecca haunts Manderley and her husband's new bride. The narrator in the novel is a nameless woman who begins her story in the present and after a couple chapters begins to reflect on her time at Manderley, where she is the new bride of Maxim de Winter. Maxim's former wife, Rebecca, passed away approximately a year prior. The nameless woman loves the beauty of Manderley, which is a wealthy British estate. Her only problem seems to be her relationship with Mrs. Danvers, who is the housekeeper and whom was very fond of the late Rebecca. I am hooked on the novel and look forward to understanding why Mrs. Danvers seems so hostile.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley. I chose this book because it has to do with a farm in Iowa. The cover was also interesting because it has a hay bale on it. The beginning so far is not very interesting. For the most part, they are just starting to introduce some people. I think that as I read further along into the book, it will get more interesting as the plot develops more.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this book! It on my list of books to read!
DeleteThe book I chose is called “After The Fire” by Will Hill. I chose it because the title caught my attention. To choose a book to read, I thought about the kinds that I would like to read, and not the ones that I would probably find boring. So far, I do like the book I chose. The pages fly by when I am reading it, unlike the last book that I had to read. It starts off with a lot of fire and gunshots in a “camp” the main character Moonbeam is living in with other people.
ReplyDeleteI can relate with you when reading your book that the pages are flying by, and I am finding myself struggling to put my book down as well.
DeleteI am the same way, it is definatly hard to find a book to read so it doesnt get boring. This sounds like an interesting book to me.
DeleteSound like a great book I always like books that talk about history so I might like reading this book later
ReplyDeleteThe book I chose is called "The Road" by Cormac Mcarthy. I chose it because I heard it was a good book and its the kind of books I sometimes like to read. So far into the book it seems pretty good but is a little slow at times. Its kind of confusing as they dont explain much about it. I am not really hooked yet but its still good to read.
ReplyDeleteYeah my book is that way too it’s kinda slow at some points, some points my book is confusing since it’s just the beginning and not much has happened yet.
DeleteThe book I chose is called "The Cabin" by Natasha Preston. What caught my attention was reading the summary and it saying how a group of kids is staying at a cabin for the weekend and someone gets murdered and the murder is still with them. So far the book has got me hooked, it starts off with a lot of drama between a group of kids and they're going to spend the weekend together in a cabin.
ReplyDeleteGood detail right away.
DeleteIs this the same as The Cabin in the woods?
DeleteI chose this book because it looked interesting, and Nick told me that it wasn't that bad of a book, so I thought I would give it a chance. So far the book hasn't been to bad, although I'm not far enough for it to get interesting, but its not bad so far.
ReplyDeletewhat book are you reading
DeleteI am reading the book road and it is basically about this guy and this boy who don't have names but the are just walking on a road and it is in a post apocalyptic united states and they stop at random buildings to get stuff to help them survive.
ReplyDeleteWhat book are you reading?
DeleteI read this book last year for English, its a really good book. I would read it again.
DeleteThis book is kind of like mine and how they have to survive but mine is about one person surviving alone in the wildness.
DeleteI chose the outsider by Stephen King because its one of his newer books and seems like a very good book as i am also a fan of his work.
ReplyDeletethis book is a very good book, one of my favorites.
Deletei choose night because it was my first choice and am very excited and ready to read it
DeleteMy book is called The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler by William L. Shirer I picked this book because I am very interested in world war 2 and how Hitler conquered half of Europe. The book starts out with Hitler wanting to be an artist but his parents did not agree. Later his dad died at sixteen and his mom passed away of cancer when he was just 18. I am enjoying it so far and i cant wait to find more I didn't know about Hitler.
ReplyDeletemy book is called Im thinking of Ending Things. i picked this book because my friend read it and she really liked it. i decided to give it a chance because its dark and mysterious. The book starts out as Lucy saying that shes thinking about ending things because who would want to live like this. her and her boyfriend jake go on a trip to jakes parents farm and lucy and jake seem alittle awkward together and the parents seem awkward as well. then they talk about their basement that jake is hiding something down there. there is scratches on the door. and jake gives the excuse of him being scared of the basement like a child.
ReplyDeleteThis is Hannah Kalb's entry.
DeleteMy book is called night. i picked this book because i was really interested in the book when Mrs. broadbent talked about the book and when i read a couple pages when we looked at these books the first time. the main reason i chose this book because i really like learning about what happened in that time era. this book to me started off weird but it got me hooked and wanted me to read it even more and yes im very hooked and excited to ready this book
ReplyDeleteI have read this book for the last book. It is a good book and really makes you realize how bad it was in concentration camps
DeleteI chose the book Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer. I picked this book because it is the final book of the Twilight series, and I really enjoyed all the books prior to this one. This book is Told from Edward's point of view, while the rest of the series is told from Bella's point of view. It really gives a whole new perspective to the story overall
ReplyDeleteI picked the book I survived the California wildfires. This book interests me because I was out in the mountains when it was happening and I could see all the smoke from it. The book starts off at his house in New Jersey and then he goes to his cousins house in California. He never meet his cousin and found out she is weird because she has pet snakes and a big lizard. This book is so far a good book because it interests me.
ReplyDeleteIve read a couple of these books before not sure if this one but id like to!
Deletethe book that I picked is Brian's winter. I picked this book because I like the outdoors and this book is about the outdoors
ReplyDeleteThis was also a reason i picked my book because of where the book takes place.
DeleteThe book I chose is called, "The Voyage of the Frog" It is about a 14 year old who wants to carry out his uncles last wish, having his ashes spread out in the sea. I picked this book because it is by Gary Paulsen and his books are usually very good and descriptive and the title sounded interesting so i thought id like it.

ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is The Home Reader by Celina Meyers, I choose this book because I am interested in the paranormal. I was on social media one day and came across this book so i read the summary and I knew instantly that I wanted to read it. The book starts from Celina childhood and her experiences in her home with the "unnatural". These events have mostly been told to her from her parents because she was so young. It is safe to say that I am hooked on this book and did not want to put it down once I began.
ReplyDeletei am reading the american sniper and i have to agree it is hard to stop reading
DeleteI am reading the book American Sniper by Chris Kyle is an autobiography about a war hero that had a pretty tough life. I watched the movie and it was very touching and was very hard to watch. The book is a little different but i think it is a little better back it was more detail and it is hard to stop reading.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie and it was great. It is great story. Jack Recker
DeleteI chose the book A Long Way Gone By Ishmael Beah. I chose this book because I thought it sounded interesting and a couple people told me it was good. The process I went through was I narrowed down the books I wanted to read and so I ended up picking this one. There wasn’t really a specific reason why I chose this book it just sounded interesting and different. My book is good but not a lot happened yet so I have to keep reading to know what I really think
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I picked this book because a couple of my buddies have read it and they said I would like it. then I read the back of the book to kind off see what it was all about and it talked about a plane crashing and then the main character gets stuck in the wilderness all alone and he is only 13 years old and he has to find a way to survive. This caught my attention can a 13 year old do it? The book starts off kind of slow Brian is in a plain now and the piolet had a heart attack that sounds kind of scary.
ReplyDeletei have also read this book before its amazing and youll ove it.
Deletei read this book in middle school and it is a classic and remember alot of it off the top of my head.
DeleteThis book sounds interesting. Jack Recker
DeleteI was hooked on this book right away once i figured out it was a true story and that it was based out of Iowa too. It started off with the tornado whipping out the town.
ReplyDeletei can relate to the tragedies of tornado ripping through iowa with close family members that have been through the devastation.
DeleteI can relate to this book because my book is also based on a real story.
DeleteMy book is Never Quit by Jimmy Settle, I chose this book because its based of a true story of a rescue team, I kind of just saw it on the self and read the summary and i like reading nonfiction books in general, He tells his background story of his mothers boating accident and his high school to college career and why he chose to become a parajumper, i am hooked yes.
ReplyDeletethe book I chose to read is Chinese handcuffs, I remember reading the short summary about this book and thought it sounded good, I like my book so far I feel like its more of a mature book, its definitely an easy read tho.
ReplyDeleteThe book i chose to read is Forget Me Not. i chose this book because i was looking for something that is more towards my comprehension levels. It is an inverse book which means it is written like poetry and the pages can be very long or short. This book starts with a girl in middle school who also has tourettes syndrome. This book had me hooked as soon as i read the back cover.
ReplyDeleteJack Recker - I chose Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I chose this book because the librarian picked it for me. I find it interesting. It is about aliens attacking the us and the government making super soldiers out of kids.
ReplyDeleteMy new book is I believe in a thing called love. The main character in this book is a girl named Desi, her mom has passed away when she was little and all she has left is her dad. She is in high school, she believes that you can accomplish anything with persistence even falling in love. I picked this book because the front cover caught my eye in the library. This book is all about drama and thats what I like in a book.
