  1. My book is called The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. It has captured my attention because the main character Travis has finally met his neighbor who he likes but shes married, but i'm pretty sure she doesn't want to be.She likes Travis too.So I would assume they'll be together by the end of the book.I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance.

  2. The book I am reading is called Touching Spirit Bear. It is about a troubled boy named Cole who goes on an isolated island to find that he can be nice to people. I like this book because he got mauled by a bear and is still attempting to find the legendary Spirit Bear.

  4. My book is about this girl who gets hypnotized by her friends and it brings back memories of her mother and father because they programmed their memory into her head. So she is bringing back their memory too. That she came from this Cryth and she learned their language when she was little before she was taken away from her parents.

  5. My book is New Moon, and it's about vampires and how a girl has gotten her life involved with one. This is the second book in the series, and I have continued reading this because I really like the author. The way she write is very detailed and in-depth, it hold your attention and it never gets boring! I'm going to read the entire series, and hopefully some other books that Stephanie Meyer has wrote.

    2. I've only seen the second movie, and I don't remember much at all from it, but so far I'm assuming the books are much better.

  7. My book is called "Death in the Clouds" By: Agatha Christie. It's about a couple of people on an airplane and someone dies by a blow pipe. I'm almost done with my book, and Hercule Poirot is about to solve who the killer is.

    1. How many books has Hercule as the main character? Does he change throughout any of the books or do his strengths and weaknesses stay the same?

  8. I am reading The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. It is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. I haven't got far but right now I'm at the part where Gandalf and many dwarves are at Bilbo's house and are singing and playing instruments. I think Gandalf is going to try to persuade Bilbo to go on an adventure....

    1. I tried reading these books a long time ago! I had a really hard time trying to figure out the characters. How are you keeping track of the characters?

      Delete
    2. Well Bilbo was easy since he was the main character and it was in his point of view. Then Gandalf is pretty easy to remember. Then for the dwarves I know there are thirteen and Thorin is the main one! If I ever had to go back to see all the dwarves' names I would go back to the first chapter and read who came for the party!!

    3. I like to see the strategy that you used to go back and reread!
