I am currently reading "Gordie,a Hockey Legend" by Roy Macskimming. I am currently on page #43. Ichose this book because I used to play hockey and I think that it is a cool sport. I ahve also heard about Gordie Howe and I wanted to learn more about him. So far in the book it has described Gordie's early life in the canadian village of Saskatoon. The book tells about Gordie's family, how he got his first pair of skates and his countless hours on his family's pond. I have liked the beginning of the so far and think that it has lived up to my expectations. The book has described about how Gordie Howe got so good and I enjoyed reading about that. It also describes Gordie's challenges growing up during the Great Depression.
I am reading the book dewey.

Ive read to page 50.
I choose this book because it was a christmas present and it looked interesting. So far it by far has passed my expectations.
This book is about an ally cat that had been dropped in the book return box of a library. This cat soon was at home in the library. Many people came just to visit this cat at the library. He has a strong liking of rubber bands and people and loves cat nip.

I am reading the book Eclispe by Stephanie Meyers and I am on page 267. I choose this book because I read the first and second books in the series and I like it very much. So far in the book the main problem is the riverly between the warewolves and the vampires. Bella is friends with both but they are not aloud to cross into each others territory. This other main problem is a vmapire named Victoria. She is tyring to kill Bella because her boyfriend Edward killed Victoria's mate James. Victoria is just trying to get back at Edward for what he did to her. Victoria is a very smart vampire and neither the werewolves or the vampires have been able to catch her. (The two groups are working together to catch Victoria because they both love Bella) I like the beginning of this story because it is the continuation of the Twlight book. The beginning leads you into the climax of the story, which is the best part of this story. This book is a real edge of the seat thriller and is very hard to put down.
Im currently reading DreamLand by Sarah Dessen. At the moment I am on page number 41. I chose to read this book because I read Just Listen by Sarah Dessen and it was packed with excitement and themes that teens go through everyday. Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors now and she always sends out a good message in a harsh time. I also chose to read this book because it was recommended to me by Lianne Sherman. She knows that I enjoyed reading Just Listen and suggested Dreamland because she has read and owned it. The main characters in this book include Cass and Caitlin and their parents. Already, drama has started. There hasn't been much detail given but so far in my book Caitlin's older sister Cass has run away. Caitlin later that day finds a book of dreams Cass made. Caitlin was part of it. She found things so out of place, her sister would never be the kind to run away. Her idea is that Cass has run away to be with her boyfriend. Their dad trys calling everyone Cass has ever known but no one knows where she is. He even calls Cass's boyfriends work but they havn't picked up. I loved the beginning of the book! This book has definetly met my standards already with a hard punch of running away. Sarah Dessen always comes straight out with one of the main themes. She doesn't explain everything until later on in the book. It really holds your attention making you read farther to hopefully find out what happens next.

I am reading a book from the Dear America series. It is called A Picture of Freedom, The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl. This book is by Patricia McKissack. I am currently on page 20 of my book.
I decided to choose this book because of the fact that I have read books in this series before. I really enjoyed the other ones that I have read so I thought that this one would probably be just as good. I chose this one specifically out of the series because I am very interested in slavery. I enjoy learning about what happened with slaves and how they got through rough times.
There hasn't been too much "action" in the book so far. What has basically happened so far is Clotee, the slave girl, has been describing what occurs with her everyday life. She has told about nwhat her daily chores are and the rules of the house. Also, a new slave has been brought on into the house. Clotee is worried that she might be a "tattler" so she makes sure not to say anything important around her. All the slaves, cooks and maids are friends and Clotee has told about how they look out for eachother. By being nice to eachother and having eachother's backs, Clotee has said that this helps a bit to get through all the other horrible things that happen. Clotee is the main character of the book. Though some of the other characters consist of Mas' William, Miz Lilly, Mas' Henley and Aunt Tee. All the Mases are Clotee's mistresses. They are the people who "own" her and tell her all the chores that she has to do. Though Aunt Tee is one of Clotee's closest friends, practically a mother to her since her mother died sometime ago. Aunt Tee watches out for Clotee and the other girls out of the kindness of her heart. Aunt Tee's actual role though, is the cook of the house. The setting of this story is Belmont Plantation, Virginia during the time 1859.
I sort of liked the beginning of this book. It started out a bit boring, though as I read on it is getting more and more interesting. I liked the part where she describes how she has to fan her mistresses everyday. She gave really good detail and I could really feel how she hates to do this. I can already tell that I am going to enjoy it though because all the details are starting to catch my attention.

I have finished reading the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
I chose this book after several friends recommended it to me. I also saw the previews for the movie and figured I should probably read the book first.
The two main charaters in the book are Edward who is a vampire, and Bella an ordinary girl who moves to a town called Forks. At first Bella is covinced that she wont like Forks but she soon starts making new friends. She also meets Edward Cullen. First she thinks that he absolutly hates her after he asks if he can switch out class to get away from her. The first day he meets her, she soon realizes tho, that it is for her own good.
I liked the beginning which is good because if it hadnt been so great i might have put it down. I expected it to be totally non believable and sound fake, but it was actually intersting. Which is why I couldnt put the book down.
I am reading The earth, my but, and other BIG round Things by carolyn mackler. I am curently on page 41.

The book i am currently reading is the seventh book of harry potter and I am on page 54. I chose this book because i have read the other harry potter books. Harry potter has recieved the daily profet news paper and is reading about the interveiw with the lady who wrote a book of how dumbledore died. The lady thinks she is so cool because she thinks she knows how he died. I think that the begining of the book is great because it opens up with harry potters enemy voldemort. They are trying to figure out where the ministry is going to move harry potter.

~The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke~
I have finished this book and I chose this book because a friend had recommended it to me and I enjoyed the summery. The summery showed the exciting plot with young, adventurous characters.
What happened in the book is that 5-year-old Bo and his 12-year-old brother Prosper lost their parents and went to live with their mean aunt. When the aunt tried to send Prosper to a boarding school to only keep Bo, the boys run away to the magical land their mother had used to tell them wonderful stories about. Venice, Italy. When Victor, a detective hired by the aunt starts looking for the boys, he discovers that they have been taken under the wing of a 13-year-old boy who calls himself the thief lord. If you want to find out what happens to the boys, you must read the book yourself.
I like how the book switches views from the view of a narrator following Victor and a narrator following Prosper. The begging lived up to me expectations of adventure, thrill, and children feigning for themselves in the large, magical, maze of a city called Venice.

The Lost boy
By Dave Pelzer
I am on page 136.
I choose this book because I read the first book that he wrote (A child called it). The ending of the first book was a clif hannger. I wanted to see what happened to Dave.
So far Dave has been moved into a faster home because his mom would abuse him. Dave has meant with people to hlp him get through the tough time moving into his new house. One character named Larry is picking on Dave and making hm not feel safe and he is trying to get Dave to talk about what has hapened to him. Dave doesn't like that but doesn't do anything about that. So Larry keeps doing it.
I didn't like the beginning because I read that Dave's mother would keep him in the garage until it was time for him to do his work around the house. Dave would also not even get real food. he waould get peices of food from the trash. during school days dave would steal food from school. when his mother found out Dave would not eat for a few days.

I am currently reading TTYL by Lauren Myracle and I am on page 44. I chose this book because many people have recommended it to me. They all said that it was really funny and a great book to read. It is also part of a series of books. TTYL is a book that is written completely in instant messaging. It shows the conversations between 3 girls, Angela, Zoe and Maddie. They all have screen names, Snow Angel (Angela), Mad Maddie and Zoegirl. So far they have been talking about they’re first day of 10th grade. They talk like regular teenagers. They talk about the different cliques, boys and things like that. So far, this is a great book. It is really funny and I can never put it down. It is cool how the book is written but sometimes all the IM talk can get a little confusing.

I am currently reading the book Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen. Right now I am on page 54.
I picked this book because I have read five other books by the author (Sarah Dessen), and I really enjoy her books. The plots are easy to connect to because she writes about real-life situations teenagers are going through. By writing realistically you can understand how the characters are feeling, and understand more how the characters are coping with their feelings. Sarah Dessen gives spacific details about the events going on, so you feel like you are actually experiencing them along with the main character. For example in the book so far, the author explains the main character Ruby's old yelloe house. When giving the description you felt like you were actually there with all the details from the lighting in the rooms to the scents the laundry brought. My goal is to read most of Sarah Dessen's book because they are enjoyable and fun to read.
In the book Lock and Key, the main character is seventeen year old whose name is Ruby. Ruby is very determined with achieving her goals and is an independent person who likes being on her own. So far in the book Ruby has gone to live with her sister, who she hasn't seen in years after she abandoned her. Ruby needs to live with her sister because after living with her quiet mother for years, her mom abandoned her to live on her own. Ruby is unsure of where her mother went, but trys to live by herself keeping a job and maintaining a clean lifestyle. Unfortunetly, the authorities discover Ruby is on her own and force her to live with her family. Ruby soon discovers her sister has married, lives in a huge mansion, and now wants nothing to do with her. Ruby is currently trying to fit in with the upper class by going to a private school, making new friends, and getting a whole new wardrobe.
I have really enjoyed the beginning of Lock and Key so far. Like all of Sarah Dessen's books, Lock and Key is another hit! As usual, she is describing events with a lot of detail and makes you feel like you are in the main character (Ruby) shoes. For example when the she was describing the neighbor whistling she said " It was cheery, and a tune I reconized- some jingle from a commercial. The sound was coming closer and closer, and soon I saw my new neighbor walking towards me." As you can tell from that example, the details describe all five sentences. I can't wait to read onto the next chapter to see if Ruby's sister lightens up!

I am reading Eldest by Christopher Paolini. I am currently on page
650. I have already read this book once and I wanted to read it again because the third book in the series came out. Also when I read the book the first time it was very exciting. Christopher Paolini is very good and very descriptive. There is some irony and unexpected twist. I have almost finished the book but so far many things have happened. The main character Eragon is a Dragon Rider who has a dragon named Saphira. Eragon joined the Varden who is a group who opposes the empire. In the first book he had just finished a battle so when the end of the battle was done Eragon went to Ellesmera to do finish his training with the Elves. During his training with he Eleves he falls in love with an Elf named Arya. Arya is a princess and is much older than Eragon. During one of the ceremonies of the Elves is body is altered and he look like a very ugly elf and is almost as strong. Very soon after that he goes back to the Varden who had moved to Surda. Surda is a country who broke free of the empire. The empire is going to attack the Varden. When Eragon gets back the two armies are already at the battlefield. The battle begins and at the end another Dragon Rider who was Eragons old friend appers and they fight. I have enjoyed the book greatly so far. I liked Eragons training with the Elves a lot. It gave me a better idea of the magic and the Elves and other races. It explained most of the secrets.

I am currently reading "Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen. I am currently on page 93. I chose this book because the title and the summary on the back sounded really interesting. In the book so far, the main character Annabel has everything, or at least thats what she portrays in her modeling shoots. But Annabel's life is far from perfect. Her friendship with Sophie ended bitterly and her sister's eating disorder is affecting the whole family. And then she meets Owen who is determined to tell the thruth. But then she has to tell everyone what happened the night she and Sophie stopped being friends. This book has definatly lived up to expectations. It tells the story of an average teenage girl dealing with average problems. For example, her sister's eating disorder. I am really glad and can't wait to see what happens in the rest of this book.

I'm currently reading the book called Jade Green by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I am on page 99. I chose this book because my friend recommended it to me and told me it was a ghost story. I was looking for something diffrent from what I normally read and I don't usually read ghost stories. Jade Green is about Judith Sparrow. Judith moves into her uncles house because her mother and father died. Her uncle lives in Whispers, like how women gossip to one another. She meets her cousin Charles, who is about her father's age and doen't have a stable job. She also befriends the housekeeper Mrs. Hastings. Mrs. Hastings helps Judith get a job at a bonnet store. While there, Judith hears gossip about Jade Green. Jade Green was a girl who lived at her uncle's house before Judith. She died three years ago. I like the beginning of the book. The beginning introduced the plot a little and gave a good discription of the characters. It lived up to my expectations. Even though the book is only 169 pages and I'm used to books well over 200 pages, this is, so far, one of my favorite books I've read this year. I don't really have much expectations for books, but since this book was recemended to me I had to think that this was going to be good. It's very suspenceful adn I'm always on the edge. I like how it's even gorey and frightning at the same time and I like it.

If you have not read any of the uglies books do not read. This will give away a lot information on the series.
I am reading the 3rd book in the Uglies series. My book is called Specials by Scott Westerfeld. I am currently on page 182 and there are 372 pages in all. I am reading this book because I have read Uglies and Pretties and want to know what happens to Tally, Shay, Zane, David and all of the Cutters, Crims and new smokies. So far Tally has become a special with Shay. now she is out to make her boyfriend, Zane, a special too. Tally has learned to rewire her brain back to her normal self and not as a bubbly head or a head like a special. Special minds look at normal people and think that they are a disturbance to the earth. Specials can run fast, need not much sleep, and have really strong sences. I love these books and am upset that this is the last book in the trilogy. Even though I am not in the beginning of the book the middle of it is really exciting and full with thrills. I love this book.

I am reading Ida B by Katherine Hannigan and I am on page 52.
I choose this book because reading the back the book sounded very interesting. The book is about a girl named Ida B and she is home schooled and spends every free second outside but then she has to go back to regular school. I choose this book because it sounded like something fun and would be exciting to read.
In this book so far Ida B is outside every second if the day. She spends a lot of time at the brook. Ida B is tired of washing her hands and her face every minute of she invents the Soap Mask. She put dish soap all over her face then goes to bed without washing it. The next day her face itched and burned and her face was turning colors. Then she went to the doctor to get checked over. The first day of school came and Ida B went. The teacher was calling their names and she called Ida. Ida never liked to be called Ida she would like to be called Ida B.
I like the book so far. The book has lived up to my expectations. The book has lived up to my expectations because it is not boring and makes you want to keep reading.

Title: Vampire Kisses
Author: Ellen Schreiber
Page: Finished this book and Kissing Coffins.
I chose this book for many reasons. One reason is that I like vmpire novels. I find them very interesting. I also like romances. Seeing as this book is a vampire romance I figured it would be perfect for me, and it was.
Summary:
Well in Vampire Kisses, Raven is a goth girl in a town full of preps. She refers to the town as Dullsville. The only thing in the town that interests her is the abandoned mansion on top of benson hill. So, of course, when a gorgeous goth guy moves into the mansion, it's love at first sight. Then when her nemesis, Trevor, starts a rumor about the family saying that they're vampires, Raven can only hope that it's true. What she finds may surprise you. When she's snooping in te house, the gorgeous guy sees her. Later, Creepy guy, the butler, invites her to the mansion to meet Alexander, the gorgeous guy. Alexander likes Raven too.
In Kissing Coffins, Alexander left and Raven is left to keep his secrets. She doesn't know why he left, so she goes snooping in the mansion again. She fnds something that says "He's coming." She thinks that Alexander couldn't have gone far, so she looks for a place that any goth would blend in. What she finds is a nightclub in Hipsterville. When she goes there, she meets a guy who will impact her life forever. Whether for good or bad, you'll have to find out.
I do like the books. They have most definitly lived up to my expectations. It was a romantic story with plenty of vampires in it, and that's all I was looking for. I couldn't put it down, because it was so good.
the book I am reading is The Alchemist by Michael Scott I am currently on page 189. I chose this book because I love fantasy books and it semmed like a pretty good book and it is. So far what has happened in the book is the two main characters in the book are twins and they get involved in stopping a magical plot to take over the world. They are with a six hundred year old man named nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle who has been kidnapped. They are also accompanied by a two and a half thousand year old warrior maiden who doesnt look a year over fifteen. They are fighting against a evil wizard named Dr. John Dee and his golemns(creatures made of mud). They are hiding from Dee and his golemns in a magical relm curently lived in by a person of the magical elder race named Hekate. So far they have found out alot about the history of a magical book called the Codex and they have also found out about magical worlds they never knew about that are hidden in plain sight. I love the book so far it has gone way higher than my expectations. The book has gone above my expectations because every time the main characters get out of trouble something new happens (like when they asked scathatch the warrior maiden to help them ,after the attack of rats, they get attacked by the crows on the bridge in the car) and the book keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time I also like how the book goes back and forth between Dee and Nicholas.

My book is called Hunters of the Dusk by Darren Shan. I have currently finished the book. I chose this book because it is part of a series I am reading. This book is about a boy named Darren, who is a half vampire. He is currently searching the world with 2 other vampires, Mr. Crepsley and Vancha March, for the Lord of the Vampaneze. While they are searching, a woman named Lady Evanna joins the group. She tells them that they will only have 4 chances to find and capture the Lord of the Vampaneze before he destroys all vampires forever. They then decide to go to the very place where Darren became a vampire, the Cirque du Freak. While there, Darren discovers a group of vampaneze hiding out in the forest. When Darren tells Mr. Crepsley and Vancha about this, they go and fight them. Durring the fight, 2 vampaneze get away. Lady Evanna tells them that one of the 2 that got away was the LOrd of the Vampaneze, and they now only have 3 chances left. The book ends as the group leaves the Cirque. I liked this book because it had alot of action and was funny in many ways.

I read the book, Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident, by Eoin Colfer. It was so good, I finished it! I chose this book because I already read the first one in the series, Artemis Fowl, and because a friend recommended it. The book is about a 13 year old criminal mastermind who lives in Ireland. His name is Artemis Fowl. Artemis has a bodyguard named Butler, and his mother, Angeline Fowl. His father was lost 3 years ago, but Artemis refuses to believe he is dead. The Fowl famiy has always specialized in illegal business, but his father wanted them to reform and becomee a name that is associated with good. This is where the story begins. Artemis is at St. Bartleby's school for young men. He recieved a call from Butler. Butler says that they may have a lead on his father, so Artemis prepares a letter getting him out of school for a few days. This is the beginning and already the plot is thick. But it gets better, because though Artemis doesn't know it, some old friends are unerground and they have a problem of their own, involving Artemis. Or so they think. LEPrecon, particularly an elf named Captain Holly Short, has a score to settle with Artemis and they think he is selling batteries to the lower elements to power illegal weapons, so they bring him down. If you are intrigued, read the book and find out what the rest of the story is. It is definitely a story you will like.

I am reading the book "A Corner of the Universe" by Ann M. Martin. I am currently on page 51. I chose this book for a couple of main reasons. The first reason why I chise this book was because of the cover. On the cover there is a picture of a ferris wheel. It is something that you dont see everyday on the front of a book. When I first saw the book I read the beginning of the first chapter and it interested me. It left me wondering who this "Adam" person was. The main character kept restating the phrase "before Adam".
In the book Hattie( a preteen aged girl) lives with her mother and her father in a large house with many rooms. To earn a living Hatties parents rent off the rooms. As a side job/hobbie Hatties father works as an artist trying out new techniques and styles. Hattie is a relativley shy girl who is not at all a girly girl. Hattie's grandma tries her hardest to convert Hattie in to a glorious, polite debutante. There is only one problem...Hattie doesnt approve of that. After eavse dropping on her parents and grandparents as they are talking Hattie discovers that they are keeping a seceret about a person named Adam. Hattie looks through her mother's old photo albums that night and discovers manny photos with her grandparents, mother, and a boy. On the back of one of the photos the name "Adam" appears. She soon learns that Adam is her uncle and that she has never formally met him before(only once when she was two). Later that week Hattie meets Adam and she realizes that Adam often seems very immature and lost(she thinks that he might be mentally challenged). Hattie and her parents offer to babysit Adam when Hattie's grandparents go to mass sunday morning. Adams feels at home. He knows almost everyone in the house and he seems to remember every little detail about events that have occured in the past. Hattie is become closer and closer to Adam,
I really like the beginning of my book. It really dragged me into the story and made me very curious about what might happen next everytime I had to set it down. Hattie kept repeating the phrase "before Adam". It caused me to become more and more egar to know who Adam was. I also enjoyed the detail that was put into describing all of the characters. I almost felt a connection with them individually and felt as if i were in Hattie's shoes quite often. Characters such as miss Hagerty and mr Penny were described in good detail. I could almost imagine sitting there having a conversation with them.

I am currently on page 139 in the book Multiple Blessings. This book is written by Kate Gosselin and Beth Carson. I chose this book because I am interested in families with multiples (ex. twin, triplets etc). I am curious about the many stresses and problems parents of multiples are faced. I also like reading books that are told truthfully and not exaggerated. This book is told from the point of view of Kate Gosselin who is a mother of multiples and she is brutally honest. The problems she faces in her daily life and how she deals with them teach a very important lesson that I think everyone should know.
This book is the story of living with 8 children. Kate and Jon Gosselin live in Pennsylvania and are a happy couple. On October 8th, 2000 Kate and Jon became parents to their twins girls, Cara Nicole and Madelyn Kate. They decided to have 1 more baby but obviously were in for more than they had bargained for. On May 10th, 2004 Kate gave birth to healthy sextuplets. The newborns were named: Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, Aaden Jonathan, Colin Thomas , Leah Hope and Joel Kevin. These 6 happy and (somewhat)healthy babies were very lucky to be alive. Before the babies were born Kate spent 10 weeks on bedrest in the Hospital. She got very antsy during this time and occupied herself by listening to music and reciting bible verses. These activities are what kept her sane for those 10 weeks in the hospital.
********NOTE: CONTINUED ON ANOTHER BLOG*********

****THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF MY 1ST BLOG****
Kate Gosslin is a very blessed/lucky person for many reasons. First, she has 8 beautiful, healthy children. Second, she gets many donations of money and baby supplies. She gets many of the donations from people that she doesn't even kknow. The thought that people just want to help someone out that they don't know brings tears to Kate's eyes. A third example of how Kate is blessed is that she has many volunteers. There are always random volunteers from around her community at her house. These volunteers are there to help make Kate's life easier. They do everything from feeding the babies to putting them to sleep. These volunteers are truley an angel to Kate.
Yes, I have liked the beginning of this book and it has lived up to my expectations. It has because the book i8s believable. The story is not exaggerated, and that is exactly what I was looking for. Kate tells both the hard and easy points of her life. She realizes that she is just a regular person and is going to make mistakes. Kate does regret some of the things she has done but knows that her friends and family accept her for who she is. I also have liked the beginning of this book because it's something I can relate to. Even though I don't encounter the same problems that the Gosselin family does I still face problems. I can relate to Kate because at times she feels like pulling her hair out because she is so frustrated and so do I. It's always nice to have someone there that can relate to you even if they aren't standing beside you (ex: if they are in a book. It's just comforting to know that you aren't the only one that's frustrated.

I think that it's wierd that no one is allowed to have green in the house. Do you think that her Uncle is just so sad about Jade dying that he doesn't want anything that reminds him of her?(all things green)
What do you mean when you say "the uncle lives in whispers"? Mabey her uncle is crazy and hears voices.

Ida B. sounds kinda weird. Does she actually do anything except put soap on her face and go to school? And why does she want to be called Ida B? She seems like a really strange person to me.

I started to read that book last year but didn't get farther than the first chapter (I don't remember why). I seemed interesting, but it also seemed to drag on and on. Maybe I'll try again soon, because the way you described it, it sounds like a book that I might like to read.

Wasn't the Arctic Incident so good!? I absoultly loved the entire Artemis Fowl series and i'm happy that I finally found someone who also likes the series. I love how the main character is also portrayed as one of the villians, and he's only a teenager. I also like the whole mythical creatures that aren't so nice twist as well. I hope your read the rest of the series, you will love them. If you want to borrow any of the books from me, just let me know, I have them all. =]

I love the sound of this book you're reading it sounds very unique like how would a cat get dropped in a library return box? I want to find out more about this cat. I will read this book aaron. i will.
I am currently reading, "The Uglies," by Scott Westerfeld. I am currently on page 20. I chose this book because I've heard a lot about the series and I've been wanting to read it, but I've never gotten a chance. So far I've learned about the main character Tally Youngblood and I've learned a little about the world she lives in. In the world Tally lives in, when you turn sixteen you get a makeover to make you pretty. I haven't read very far, so I don't know very much about the book yet, but what I've read of this book is great. It has that fantasy feel to it but it's very realistic.

I think hockey is also a really cool sport. One thing is though, it's also really awesome because I could never imagine you playing hockey. I have also heard of Gordie Howe and he's an amazing hockey player... obviously. Hope you enjoy your book, and good luck with soccer :]

I have also read the book that you read and I also think that the book is cool. When you get further into the book it gets a lot more interesting. I like your spelling!

Dear Maria,
I think that your book sounds really good. I think that it was a good idea to read it again when the third book came out. The book sounds really eventful and exciting! It is cool that you are reading about irony and we are discussing irony. Happy reading!!!

I am currently reading the book Twighlight at home. i totally agree with you if the beginning of the book was boring i would have definatly put it down to. the beginning of the book really let you know how she felt about living in forks. I was very suprised that everyone wanted to know her and hang out with her at first because she was new and she was very quiet. Another thing i am confused about was why Edward wanted to switch classes because he did not even know Bella. i am almost done with this book and i am excited to finish reading the book

Hannah this book sounds really interesting. I think that any teen would be able to relate to the friendship problems that she is experiencing. Every teen goes through friendship problems. I would enjoy reading this book because the drama can be easy to relate to at times.
I feel really bad for the main character.
This book sounds really interesting!!!
