Books, Books, and More Books

By Lydia Key I am trying to post at least once every Wednesday now (maybe every other, maybe weekends... We'll see!) As I said in my previous posts, I love to put work into these posts but to some extent, it gets to be a lot. Therefore, there WILL be grammar and spelling mistakes in this, but you'll just have to bear with me! Right now, I want to focus in on one of my favorite books that I have read in a while. This is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. This was

***The following book and review will have heavy topics about the neo-Nazi movement. I am currently reading this book called Linked. I chose it because I already knew I love the author, Gordon Korman. He wrote Unplugged (a book I have read), along with many others such as: Resart , Ungifted , Unteachables , Master Mind , Swindle , Slacker , etc. I have heard from a close friend that has read quite a few of these that they are all amazing. We are here to talk about Linked t

'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

Sorry I haven't posted in a month ( and for doing the Halloween post late). I'm trying to get through a 500 page book so I can blog about it. Until then I can't blog about that specific book but I can tell you about a book that every night before Halloween my mom, my sister, and I read together. It's called Space Case! Every Halloween we gather around to look at the pictures in Space Case. Yes, this is a children's picture book. This means if you have younger kids this would

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

In class we are working on mystery book reports. I'd like to make it very clear that I typically do not really like the mystery genre, mostly due to their eerie feeling. Luckily, for this book report though I found a mystery book that I liked. The Secret of Red Gate Farm is a pretty short book ( 178 pages ) written by Carolyn Keene. We only had two weeks to read the book and to the book report though. I highly suggest this book if you have a mystery book assignment because i

Sorry that I have not posted in a month but I have been busy. A friend recommended this book (along with another book that I posted about last week). I loved her first recommendation so much that I decided to read Unplugged. This book is turning out to be really good. Unfortunately, I have had to stop reading Unplugged mid-way through because of a book report. I can tell where the book is going, though. This book is interesting because each chapter is in another person's per

Hello! Happy New Year! I got more into this book (like about 100 pages into it) and I realized that it was a mystery book too. It is beautifully written and contains exquisite vocabulary. Even though those are all good things in a book, they make the suspenseful parts of the books more suspenseful. This is just my opinion though. You should keep in mind that you have a different opinion than me. I generally do not like mystery books. I am going to keep reading it, though. I

Gift Giving With Books Hello! Sorry for posting late this week. I also realize that a few days after Christmas is probably the worst time to post about gift giving, but I am still going to post about this. Here are some ideas for December birthdays, any birthday, a holiday, or really anything. One of the best books I have received is a book called Frankie and Bug. It was from my mom's friend. This is the book I am currently reading. I know gift giving may be hard when you

Sorry I have not posted; I will talk about 2 books in 1 post. Then I will be able to catch up with my reading. The 2 books will be: Nancy Drew and the Quest of the Missing Map and Who was Ruth Bader Ginsberg. NANCY DREW and the QUEST of the MISSING MAP I was writing a book report about a mystery book of my choice for school. I picked a Nancy Drew book. Mystery books are not really my style, but I liked this book. Sometimes I get nightmares about mysteries, but I did not ge

Good morning! Today I am going to finish blogging about "The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler." I loved this book and may I point out that it won the Newbery Award. This is a big metal for a book. In the other half of the book that I did not tell you about Claudia and Jamie meet Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. She is the one writing the files, too. Claudia also finds a statue named "Angel." It may or may not of been made by Michelangelo. Claudia would like to find the

Sorry that I have not posted lately. I have been busy. To be honest I'm busy today too but I think I can squeeze this in. Let me tell you in advance I most likely will not be blogging next week because my family and I are going on vacation. I do have bad news for you though, I was not enjoying island of the Blue Dolphins that much so I stopped reading it. Now I am reading "The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler." I will say I like this book because it is really like

If you like books that have morals this book is for you First off Ole Golly says a lot of wise stuff and in the letter she sent Harriet some words stood out to me: " Another thing, if you're missing me I want you to know that I am not missing you. Gone is gone. I never miss anything or anyone because it all becomes a lovely memory. I guard my memories and love them, but I don't get in them and lie down." I told you she was wise. It has other morals to like things resolve an

I finished the book so I will be making 2 posts this weekend and if you are still wondering why they put "book 1,2,and,3" in the book you are like me. After finishing the book up I still do not know. So if you are looking for the answer I am just telling you now that you will not find it from me. Also if you have not read part 1 I recommend going back and reading it. The people who stayed and have not read Part 1, do not say I did not warn you! I read this book and got a fe

First of all I have know idea why "Book 2" was written in my book. So I guess I've read book 1? I think all of the books might be in 1 book so I will give you what happens in "book 1" without spoiling anything. Harriet the spy is about a young girl in 6th grade. She dreams of being a spy and by the looks of it her dream will come true she spies real deal on people at her spy route. Her friends Sport and Jannie are supportive they have a triangle, all three of them supportin

Morning! First I would like to say that if you have not read part 1 of this go ahead and read it now. Okay lets take a dip into this book. The end of the book is unexpected and emotional. I really do not want to spoil it for you though. Everything comes together and to be honest some of my predictions failed but that was okay because they were just theories. This might be one of my favorite books. It was an amazing book you try and read it! Tell me what you think of it. This
