Independent Reading STILL Rocks!
We haven't checked in about our independent reading in a while! Please tell us about a book that you are reading, have read recently or plan to read soon! Let's catch up!
I am so excited to start reading a book call Mindset! I was at a class at Rice University last night. The teacher of the class said that Mindset is one of the very best books that he has read lately. The book's big idea is that people can keep getting smarter and more talented with more time and practice. I am also reading a book about the life of Saint Nectarios, the Orthodox patron saint of cancer healing. It is so interesting to read about the life of such a holy man. Of course, I continue to read newspapers and Time magazine! What is in your stack of reading books?
I have finished Wild River it was good then bad then bad the tiny bit good. I am don't know what I am going to read next. I just finished Big Nate lives it up it's my favorite book I have read.
I am reading Joshua's journal right now. Its about the Oregon trail. I am reading it because it gives me ideas for my journal. I just finished Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever. It is very funny. its about a kid in middle school who has to avoid prombems.
Reading is going well. I am reading Joshua's Journal I can't believe what happened. I am also reading Diary of the Wimpy Kid the Last Straw it is a good book.
I am reading The 39 Story Treehouse, it is about two boys named Terry and Andy They live in a 39 story treehouse and make books. In the book Terry makes a machine that writes books and they need to use it because they forget that they have to make a book by tomorrow afternoon and Terry dosen't have the switch for the machine so Terry orders it and gets it. I am at where the machine is making the book.
I love independent reading. But I am currently not in a book :[ I would appreciate if you would give me recommendations. I finished the Hunger Games it is quiet scary. In the Hunger Games it is set in the future where there are 12 poor and powerless districts a one powerful and rich capital. Anyway every year the districts have to send one boy and one boy in to the Hunger Games and in the Hunger Games they have to kill each other until there is one winner. I love Independent reading!!
I'm starting to read Olympians Hera the goddess and her Glory. I plan to read today. I plan to read more than 1/4 of the book. I like the series of the Olympians. I have read all of them but Hera and Poseidon. There are one of the best series I've read yet.
Right now I'm reading Riding Freedom. It is so good. Next I want to finish Echo. It is really long. It is written by Pam Munoz Ryan. Im wondering what will happen next in Riding Freedom. I think that it is really sad that Charlotte's parents died in a wagon accident. There are so many stories about orphans! Im surprised that Charlotte survived several fevers.
I just finished Percy Jackson Titans Curse. I am starting Percy Jackson Battle of The Labyrinth and riding Freedom. In Percy Jackson they found a secret entrance from the labyrinth that the bad guys might use. The Labyrinth is a maze that can take you anywhere. In Riding Freedom Charlotte's favorite horse died.
Right now I am reading Number The Stars a novel by Lois Lowry. It is about a girl who lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. The girls name is Annamarie. She has a little sister named Kirsti. Her best friend Ellen, is Jewish. Three years ago when Annamarie was seven, soldiers came to Denmark. King Christian tried to stop them but he could not. One day the Nazis were going to take all of the Jews away. Ellen's parents had to go hide away. Ellen and Annamarie had to pretend that they were sisters. That is all that I gave read.
I am so exited to read Emily's Fortune. It it has so many funny words! I am reading Joshua's Journal as an independent reading book. It is very good book but there is a lot of drama in it. I am also reading Arnie the Doughnut the Spinny Icky Showdown. It also is very funny! I just read Stone Fox. I was really good except at the end (so sad) Reading ROCKS!!
I am reading Arnie the doughnut and Hilo. They are very good comic books. I am also reading riddles. It is very funny. I don't now what I will read next. you should try the Arnie the doughnut series. BYE!
I am reading James And The Giant Peach right now. It is so good! What got me interested in reading it was that I was doing a theater called WildFish theater and we are doing the play James and the Giant peach so I thought why not read it?
I am reading A Mango Shaped Space. It is about a girl named Mia with synesthesia. Whenever she hears sounds she sees colors. She has a cat named Mango; Mango has a lung rip that makes him wheeze. Mia goes to a doctor that can diagnose her. She figures out there is more then one type synesthesia. It is so interesting.
I read a sample of that and I really want to read the whole thing! I like how Mia said she sees her sister Beth's name the color of mud and that one of the reasons she made friends with another girl was the color of her name.
I finished Howl's Moving castle by Diana Wynne Jones. It's about a girl named Sophie, who is the eldest of three sisters, and where they live that is considered bad luck. And when the Witch of the Waste comes to the hat shop where Sophie is an apprentice and turns her into an old woman, Sophie finds herself in the castle of the wizard Howl, who is rumored to eat the hearts of young ladies.
