Books, Books, and More Books

I just finished the Hobbit and it was amazing! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in fantasy fiction. Since I used this book as my book report book, I figured my post will be based upon my book report. The Hobbit is a well-told tale of a journey to retrieve gold and slay a dragon named Smaug who protects the treasure. Bilbo Baggins, a petite hobbit, embarked on this wildly exciting adventure with thirteen other dwarves by the names of Thorin, Fili, Kili, Dwali

After the 74 Hunger Games districts begin to realize how much more they can be. Katniss sparked a light in peoples eyes in the Hunger Games when she pulled out those berries and now she will have to pay. As the capitol is holding Peeta hostage Katniss must weigh the benefits and consequences of speaking out against the capitol. Considering that peer pressure is coming at her from all angles she must make many hard decisions that will ultimately lose many lives. A while back

Happy Mother's Day and first I'd like to send appreciation to every mother out there, especially my mom, who provided my love for reading. Currently we are reading the same book together. It is called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and it is a prequel for the beloved by all Hunger Games Series. It explains President Snow's (the antagonist of the Hunger Game's Series ) childhood and how warm he actually was as a child. What changed him from a star crossed lover to a dist

I haven't posted much lately. My books have been getting longer but I have posted on each one. I'll try to post more often, but I truly am doing my best. Anyways lets get to the point! Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games. I believe you could read it without reading the first book it might be slightly more difficult but to be honest she spends a lot of time reviewing what happened in the first book. Catching Fire explores the theme of rebellion in the sense t

Last week, I told you I was reading an amazing book but didn't tell what it was. Well, its The Hunger Games. I have been reading the Hunger Games every spare second I have. The character development of this book is excellent and you are on constant edge to see if these characters you love with all your heart are alive. The Hunger Games is about what could happen in the future. They are divided into districts that all rule under the Capitol. Once a year one boy and one girl a

Let me start with a little backstory of how I learned about Fortune Falls. At my school we have a thing called Accelerated Reader. This is a program to see if you are reading books at your level and reading enough books. Since I got so into the "His Dark Materials" series, I fell just a few points short of my AR (Accelerated Reader) goal. I went to the school library to find a book and by chance my friend was in there too. She said that Fortune Falls was among one of the best

'The Amber Spyglass,' is the third and final book in this series. I posted a little late because I was trying to finish my book. That was a lot of talk about how I read the book but what about what I actually read. Well, the book itself is really good, you won't understand a thing it says though f you start on the third book. I like how the book makes you feel like everything it is saying could be true. You know it is impossible, but they are in different worlds so it very w

I want to start off by saying if you haven't read my other post about The Golden Compass then this post won't make much sense. I'd also like to say that this might include some spoilers if you haven't read book one yet. I did a book report on The Subtle Knife, and I truly enjoyed it. I have said before that I don't really like mystery books. This fact still stands, but I do think that this book has some amount of mystery to it that I like. Maybe it is my taste in books chan

I read this book over the summer. Typically, I’m not great about reading over the summer but this book was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. It was fascinating. I just felt like I was in it. If anyone reading this has watched the never ending story that is sort of how I felt. I really didn’t think about the external world around me when I read the book. I loved every second of reading this book because it is intense at some points and inventive at others. This book is also

*** Warning some spoilers ahead (I will avoid major spoilers)*** I have been out of the blogging routine but I plan to start it up again. Please don't forget to comment on my blog if you have a question. I hope you all have had a great summer (with lots of reading ). I read "the Deathly Hallows" BEFORE Summer but I just thought I should post about it because I have posted all the other Harry Potter books. This is by far my favorite Harry Potter book. It has so many plot twi

Hello. I will sort of be posting out of order since I have already posted about the Deathly Hallows (but that was AI, does it really count?!?!) I will be posting about the sixth book in the series: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. (This post may be very confusing due to these books being long and confusing but I promise it is a really good book!) At the beginning, Harry stayed at the Burrow just to find out that Fluer Delacour had moved in. Apparently, Fluer and Bill

As we are digging deeper and deeper into the holiday season I thought it would be nice to do some Christmas books. The book I will be talking about has been made into three different movies because it was such a hit! I've always loved this specific book because of its moral. I am also a huge fan of rhyming! The book is How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The book was made by Dr. Suess who has also made The Cat and the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and Green Eg

As you know, I am in the middle of a 800 page book, written by J.K Rowling. Now that I'm farther into the book I thought I'd tell you a bit more. The large book has gotten interesting. You are always on the very edge of your seat. With O.W.Ls (REALLY important exams that could affect the students' careers) coming up Ron and Harry are buried under loads of homework. They keep letting their homework pile up while Hermione still manages to do it in a timely manner. Another th

This is a wonderful book, and a few months ago I read it with my class. Winifred Foster (Winnie) gets horribly angry with her family. She decides into run away to the woods. Though the Fosters own this land, they never go into the woods. When she runs away, she met an interesting family- the Tucks. The Tucks and Winnie started to bond closely. For instance, they told her their biggest secret and she started to fall in love with one of their sons. Their names were: Angus, Ma

I have moved on to the next Harry Potter book. It is the longest of all of them. I jumped right back into the chaos. Voldemort is back. It seems like nobody believes Harry when he says that, though. Do people believe everything they read? Harry feels like too many people trust what the Daily Prophet writes about him. Aside from people being brainwashed by the Daily Prophet , Harry has to face a new Defense Against Dark Arts Teacher and a new Care of Magical Creatures teac

I am still reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but I finished a class read-aloud at school. I figured this would be a great book to share. It is a classic. It is fictional. My class would complain every time we had to stop reading. The book is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! The story starts by a game of hide and seek. Lucy steps into a wardrobe to hide. She goes further into the wardrobe... and further... and further. Soon she finds herself in a magical place. She was in a pl

I know I posted about Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling last week. This week I will focus on specifically the fourth book. I will tell you though, the book is long so I am not that far into it. The start of the book is a bit spooky. That is where I originally stopped. Once you get further into the book, it stops being spooky and becomes interesting. In the very beginning, Harry gets to go to the Quidditch ( a game played on brooms) World Cup. It is a once in a lifetime experienc

The first thing I want to do is to tell you "Hello," but the second thing I want to say is that what I said last time (about me not giving you a summary of six books) is partially false. You see, the book is divided into seven sections. Each part contains a different story. One of the little stories is "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar." Each of them are short stories. I do not think any of the stories connect, but maybe they do and it will be pointed out at the end. If I

The first thing I would like to clear up is that I am not giving you a summary of Henry Sugar and multiple summaries of six other books. It's title is really The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More. Now that we are all clear on that, let us jump into this miraculous book. I am still unsure on where this book is going but often times you can look on the back of the book and it gives you a summary. Before I read it, I looked on the back of the book to make sure it woul

I read "The Wild Robot" and it was so emotional especially for my mom. She was crying. Roz is a robot who ends up on a island but does not have a human. All the other robots died so she makes friends with the animals. One day Roz adopted a gosling and that is really where the action begins. This book takes place in the future so every human has a robot to do their jobs. I think Roz is so cool because she adapts to her life and a single act of kindness makes her famous and lo
