This blog is so we can share good books we have read! We are going to want something to do over summer! This blog is to share are opinions on books, then if we like how the book sound, we can read it!
I have read many great books and many terrible books. Great, Worthwhile Book List 1.Runnung Out Of Time 2.Sheep 3.Surviving Antarctica: Reality T.V 2083 4.Emmy and The Incredible Shrinking Rat
Terrible, Stupid, Not-Worthwhile Book List 1. The Seems Glitch In Sleep
I have read very few novels that are age and grade level appropriate but here are my favorite novels of all time. For the record, I am NOT saying to read these novels!!! I am merely sharing my thoughts.
1. The Godfather by Mario Puzo...This was the novel that inspired me to love reading. I did not read it until high school; until that point, I was not a reader. I had read novels that I enjoyed, but it was rare for me to get lost in a book.
2. The Giver by Lois Lowry...This is one of my favorite books to read and teach. The development AND lack of development of characters within this society make the plot of this novel jump out to me. I felt very connected with the main character because of the societal and personal conflicts he embraced.
3. A Separate Peace by John Knowles....I read this novel in my sophomore English class with one of the most inspiring teachers and people I have met in my short existence, Mr. Don Case. When I read this novel, there were parts of me that wanted to jump into the text and reach out to the characters. The dynamics and experiences between the main characters in relationship to their friendship as well as the influences of the setting created emotional connections within me. There were times when I was joyful, depressed, furious, perplexed, and motivated. This novel is clever and well written.
I have added Twilight to my list of must reads. If you have a copy of the first one that I sould borrow I can start reading it and get it to you before the end of the semester. Mom was quickly became addicted to it! Once of her students let her borrow her copy. She read th whole series in a week!
I like how you used my answer to help guide your repsonse. You are someone that needs to feel attached to the characters emotionally. I totally understand that.
Yeah I have the Twilight book. Ican give it to you Friday because I am actually reading it for the 4th or 5th time during AIMS. But then I will give it to you to read! You will LOVE it!
I would say that a good classic is Anne of Green Gables...but I also really liked Life As We Knew It, Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat, A Corner of the Universe...but I've read sooooo many good books!
I have read many great books and many terrible books.

See, the characteristics you talk about in those books I just didn't see in the Seems. That is the only reason I didn't like it.
