Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins


This book is about a girl called Katniss who has to keep her family alive. Every year there are the hunger games which is a game were the contestants. The only people allowed to participate are people from 12 years of age to 18. I recommend this book to all who like action, bblood and gore. I havent finished reading the book so if you want to know more..... you should read it. There is also a movie.

The Clique

Last month I started reading a novel called "The Clique". Im still reading it but im loving it, i watched the film and I noticed its not as different as the book, the only difference is that the book includes more details. The book is about these four really rich girls, Dylan Marvil, Alicia Rivera, Kristen Gregory and Massie Block the "leader" of the group. These four girls are really, really rich and glamorous, they live in the shops like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coco Chanel (the glamorous!) etc... Suddenly this girl from Florida comes to stay in the the Blocks guest house, but the problem is that this girl isn't glamorous at all, and this girl is Claire Lyons. Claire goes to the same school as other girls, The Octavian Country School a only girl school (that sucks!), but Claire has 1 problem, her problem is that the girls don't like her and they bully her till death. If you want to know more about The Clique girls you'll need to read the novel. I recommend this book for all the girls that wants to have a taste of how it is to be glamorous!

Prom nights from HELL


I just finished reading Prom nights from HELL and i TOTALLY LOVED the book. There are five different stories from different writers. The first story is called "the exterminator's daughter by Meg Cabot and the story is very mysterious so i really loved it! The second story is called "The corsage" by Lauren Myracle. This story is very freaky and interasting at the same time so i also loved it alot."Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper" is written by kim Harrison. It is the strangest story ever and it's AWESOME!! Michael Jaffe wrote a story called "kiss and tell" and it's PARANORMAL of course! "Hell on Earth" is the last story and i didn't really understand it! The auther is STEPHENIE MEYER which Julia and Gaby love!


I loved the book and I recommend it to anyone who likes mystery, adventure, suspense and paranormal things!!!!

Goosebumps - Don't Go To Sleep by R.L. Stine

This book is about a boy who has a very short room that he can't even sleep in. He has one brother and one sister which bully him. he decides that he will sleep in the guest room but suddenly he's older than he was! he was already in high school and his mother had gone. In her place there were two stranders that he didn't know. What had happened? Was it because he had slept in the guest room?


I like this book because it is funny the way you can see it. You can see how the story could be totally diferent than it really is and you can't prevent what will happen the next day.

Miles To Go

During my Easter Holidays I bought a autobiography by Miley Cyrus. It wasn't really the best thing to read a novel about someone I don't really like, but it was quite interesting to know about her life before she was famous. Miley expresses herself about how she was bullied during 6th grade to how she got a part for the big Disney Channel hit Hannah Montana. In the novel Miley talks a lot about her grandfather and also a lot about the tours she did. I really didn't like this autobiography because I thought she was to convinced about how her life is great and successful.

I recommend this book for someone who really likes Miley Cyrus and would like to know about her past.

Goosebumps "A Night in Terror Tower"


During my Easter holidays, I continued to read my new novel "A night in terror tower" written by R.L. Stine. I have just reached the 15th chapter, so far, Sue and Eddie the main character are extremely worried, very frightened and especially into deep trouble. So far I'm appreciating and enjoying this novel. When I finish this novel, I get a new Goosebumps novel to read.

I remember that there was this girl called madison that got caught, i think and then her brother and sisters come to save her with friends with a secret plan but get caught then Madison's brother gets thrown out of a helicopter and... does he die? or not? read to know more! I recommend this book to any one who likes action and adventure.

Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

Yesterday I finally finished reading "Twilight" about midnight. I have to admit that it is not exactly the kind of novel that I would normally choose to read but I am glad I have now discovered what all the hype is about. Stephenie Meyer has certainly written a novel that successfully appeals to a generation of young people but perhaps not some dinosaur from a previous generation. At least I will now be able to have "Twilight" discussions and disagreements with plenty of St. Nicholas students. I expect I will now be forced to read "New Moon"...may I borrow your copy, Julia?

The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie

I ADORE Agatha Christie. She writes with already some suspence. She always writes books about detective and romantic stories. This story is about a person who get's assassinated by somebody and Miss Marple is the one who will investigate this crime. The person who is assassinated is Colonel Protheroe. When his death was claimed, Len (the narrator, first person), was already a suspect because a while before the crime went in action he said that "anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe would be doing the world a large serrvice".
I recomend this book to everyone. This book will fit to everyone because if you want to increase your writing skills it'll just do. If you want a book that persuades you it will also just do for you. if you like detective or lets say "romantic"stories it just perfect for you just like me!

Coraline


I read Coraline last cemester and I loved the book!! It is about a girl called Coraline and she moves to this new house. There alot of funny and mysterious things happen!! There is alot of "scary things" and she has to decide with who is she living with!

With her creepy mother??? Or with her real strange mother?????

Boy by Roald Dahl

Right now in school I am reading a book called Boy by Roald Dahl. This book is an autobiography about when he was young. It is structured in different ages and schools. We have got to when he goes to a boarding school called St. Peters and he is scared. I recommened this book because it is disgusting and very funny at the same time. To know more read the book.

"Boy"

The book we are reading now in class is called "Boy" by Roald Dahl. In the novel, he says that his book isn't a autobiography, but in my opinion I think that this novel is really a autobiography because he separates his infancy into three different sections. He separates these sections by age and school. So far, I'am enjoying this novel.

The Demon Headmaster!


The Demon Headmaster is the first book of this novel. It is about a group of children (Dinah, Lloyed, Harvey, I forgot the rest) fighting the demon headmaster of dominating the world. It is really interasting because of his ideas and plans to how to dominate the world. Dinah is a very clever girl and is an orphan. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are Lloyed and Harvey parents but who knows what will happen to their family? Will it grow?Read on to know.
I really liked this book and I also think great part of the class also did. I recomend this book to people that like, lets say "detective" storys.

The Demon Headmaster

Just in the beginning Lloyd and Harvey have a big surprise, Dinah is coming to stay. Creepy things get creepier in school, everyone is being controlled including the new girl Dinah. Lloyd, Harvey and their friends somehow cannot be controlled by the prefects and the headmaster. The children fight against the Demon Headmaster so he won't dominate the world.


I really liked the novel because it happens a lot and the story it self is really exiting !

The Host by Stephenie Meyer


I don't remember musch about it but The Host by Stephenie Meyer is about a girl that is controled by a alien.
This novel is about suspense.
I recomend this novel to people that likes suspense and aliens.

Betrayed


I read a book called ''Betrayed'' and i absolutly luv it. It is the second book from the colection that i am reading ''The House of Night''. In this book Zoey (the main character) has to deal with many shocking and horrible events like her best friends death, having THREE boyfriends and many more things.

Some reviews even say that Stephanie Meyer the auther of the Twilight saga is already in the past and the new her is the Cast girls.

Everyone that like's action and a bit of romance will absolutly love this and the other 6 novel's of the collecton (like me).

The Field Guide To Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents Bender

The book I read was The Field Guide To Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents. It is A Non-Fiction book. The novel is made up of stories from victims from the occurrences related to sea monsters. I recommend it for people who like a lot of mystery. It is fun and educational at the same time:)!

The Demon Headmaster

I'm read a book called The Demon Headmaster, it is about a girl called Dinah, she is an orfan, when one day a family fostered her. So she started to go to the same school as the two kids that lived with her, Lloyd and Harvey. When her first day of scholl starts, she met the headmaster, he was very strange and it seemed that the school was controles, because everybody was perfectly organised. What do YOU think it will happen to the kids? i recomend this book for people that likes mistery and suspense!!

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

I read this novel last year and I absolutely enjoyed it, it was my favorite out of the 4 novels. The novel is divided into 3 parts, the first and last part is narrated by Bella and the 2 part is narrated by Jacob. Lots of things will happen in this novel, from action to lots of romance. Unexpected things will happen to the Cullen family, Jacob will be missing, Bella will suffer, a new member in the Cullen family and lots more! I recommend this book for everyone who read the other 3 books and became "Fanpires".

I hope you like it!

His younger sister is really sick and he finds at his garage a strange thing. What is it? Read and find out. I would recommend this novel to people who like mystery books.


New Moon


I am reading the the book called New Moon. I don't understand why Julia and Gaby plus the twilighters fan like the series so much! I comprehend that the book is romantic and girls like those stuff but for boys... Boys would only read it all because it is persuasive. It really makes you forget about the time and your life and dream with words... yeah boys won't like it.

I only recommend for people that like romantic and sometimes action books. Boys normaly don't like those types of books but this series is different. It is worth a try.

''So a lion that fell in love with a lamp''

She have lots of things to do in school and in her house. She needs to go to a friend's party but her mother organized a interview to a TV programme in her house and she really needs to go. I liked reading it because it shows how confused is the life of a child and how many problems they can take. I recommend this novel because the writer makes it humorous even when there is a problem.

Shopaholic Takes Manhatten

The novel I'm reading is called "Shopaholic Takes Manhatten". It's about a English girl called Rebecca Bloomwood that's a total shopaholic. I really find it interesting because Becky (Rebecca) get's into trouble, and It's always connected with shopping so it makes it really funny !
