I am reading Escape Room by Maren Stoffels. It is about a group of friends who decided to do an escape room together one Friday night. The only issue was, none of them told their parents where they were going, they all lied. They got through the first part pretty quick, but after that things escalate. They get trapped in and need to find a way to get out without anyone getting hurt. I am definitely hooked on the book and want to keep reading. I chose this book because I read a lot of reviews and summaries of it and thought it was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting, I hope they all get out safe and their parents don't find out.
DeleteThis seems like a great book that gets you hooked. I wonder how it will go for the characters in the book.

DeleteI chose to read Escape Room. I chose it because Gabi told me about it, read the summary and it sounded interesting. I was interested cause I always have wanted to go to an actual escape room. It started out with Mint and Alissa were hanging out at the park. They ordered pizza from Sky and offered it to Miles. They also asked him if he was gay because Alissa liked him. I am hooked on this book and will probably finish early.
ReplyDeleteI also have always wanted to go to an escape room, but i'm not so sure about it now after reading it.
DeleteI have also always wanted to go to an escape room, but now after reading yours and Gabi post I am not sure anymore!
DeleteFrom yours and Gabi's post I do not think i want to go in a escape room
DeleteI have been to many escape rooms and they are a lot of fun! I would definitely like to know more about this book.
DeleteI am reading the book Everything Everything, I choose this book because people have always talked about it and I never had time to read it till now. The beginning off this book hooked you right away because they started to talk about Madeline's sickness and then this new neighbor boy moved in and she was obsessed with him. She cannot go outside because of her sickness, so she puts her email up in her window so the boy can start emailing her.

DeleteI am reading the book It Ends With Us. There reason I picked this book was because my sister and a few of my friends have read it and they all really liked it, so I thought I would give it a try. I got my book from one of my friends. A specific reason I chose this book was because my sister is not much of a reader and she read it so I know it was going to be a good book. My initial thoughts on this book are very good, the book took no time getting right into the story and it has never had a boring moment. I am very hooked on my book, since I have started it, it been hard to put down.
ReplyDeletesounds like a good book but not my cup of tea
DeleteI Choose Mind and Matter by John Urshel. I choose it because he is a former NFL player and i wanted to hear his story. I just found it in the library. I like it the book shows where he came from and his version of the process. Id have to say the book is pretty interesting showing his growth through out the book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book that I would be interested in reading.
Deletethis sounds interesting to read i like reading sport books and other kind of books
DeleteI heard of this book and heard good things about it.
DeleteThe book sounds like a good read for fans of sport books.
DeleteI heard about this book too and it looks pretty interesting. What is your favorite part in the book so far?
DeleteThis book sounds interesting and would definitely be interested in reading it.
DeleteI chose Elie Wiesel's Night for my third book for a few reasons: it was my first pick for my second book, but didn't get it, I've always found history interesting - especially the 1900s - so this gave me that excuse to read more into the WWII era, and put simply, Night is a shorter book. The beginning of the book is fast-paced, almost a brief background of Elie before they he is transported into concentration camps and, saying I'm hooked is almost an understatement; due to it being so quick in events, it's very easy to just keep reading. Night is probably of the three books that I've read most outside of class. I think I only have about eight pages left of the 120 page novel.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to read that book last time as well.
DeleteI would like to read this book. I was debating on reading the book I am reading now or to read Night. I also am a fan of the 1900s history/war book and that is why I was contemplating on reading it.
DeleteI wanted to read that book last time but i got hooked into my new book.
DeleteI also choose this book because I did not get it for the 2nd book. It is very good and I am excited to read more.
Deletethe books is good and you can hear and feels the emotions he went throuugh
DeleteI agree with the statement that it is very easy too keep reading. The length of the novel is perfect for the topic.
Deleteit must be a good book because i see everyone wants to read it
Deleteits a good book i would definably would read it again
DeleteI had it as my second book choice to, i hear its a good book
DeleteThe book I chose is called "The Compound". The book started out with Eli and his family in a Compound, also known as a big bunker. They are there because of a nuclear attack that happened 6 year prior to the start of the book. The way I chose this book was just going through the library and looking for a book that seemed good. I chose this book because it sounded easy to read and actually sounded interesting to me. So far I like the book and how they are starting to have problems with their food supply. So yes, I would say I am hooked.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a good book when I read it a couple years ago.
DeleteWe read this book in middle school and I thought it was actually very interesting
DeleteI read this book in 6th grade and id have to say it was a good read.
DeleteI thought this was a very good book when I read it and kept me interested the whole way through.
DeleteThe book i chose was The Longest Ride. I chose this book because i love romance books and this one caught my attention. The book is split with three peoples perspectives. It started out with Ira getting in a car crash. He just sits in his car looking back on his long life. It shifts to Sophias were she is a college girl who goes to a rodeo when she meets a bull rider named Luke. They start talking and want to get closer. So far the book is good,.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie to this book plenty of times and i loved it! There never is a not good part to this book.
DeleteI have wanted to read this book and see the movie. Sounds interesting!
DeleteI have seen the movie as well and I loved it a lot but I have never read the book
DeleteI love this book by Nicholas Sparks! This book has so many surprises! What is your favorite part so far?
DeleteI read the book and saw the movie. You can't go wrong with Nicholas Sparks.
DeleteI chose the book The Reaper. I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a teacher. I chose this book because it looked interesting and I was interested in learning more about war. The start of the book is a little boring its just giving you background on his life but once you get a couple chapters in it picks up and stays interesting. I am hooked it is a good book so far.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how my book is. It starts out just talking about his day to day life, and once you hit chapter 3, they are starting to have their food supply go bad.
Deletemy book starts out slow then picks up as well but slows down again
Deletewow nathan this is a really good book i would have suggested it to you if you would have asked me what book I should do but it is good read about war.
DeleteSounds like i would enjoy this book. Sounds like a good read.
DeleteThe book i chose is called "The last Song". I chose this book because my friends told me it is a better book than the movie so then i decided to go to the library and check it out. My initial thoughts about my book i chose was that it was going to have a sad ending because in the movie their dad dies and if the book explains more than the movie it is defiantly going to be sad. So far the beginning is sort of boring because all they do is arrive at their dads and go to the carnival.
ReplyDeleteThis is similar to how my books started
DeleteHey Shelby! I can assure you this is a great book, a sad one, but so good! I think it is better than the movie because you will know so many more small details that make it even better!
DeleteI have read this book and I really enjoyed it. I was going to be careful to not spoil anything for you, but it seems the movie has already done that. Still a great choice.
DeleteThe book I chose was Night by Elie Wiesel. I choose this book because I find WWII stories very interesting, and when I didn't get Night for the last book I decided I would use my choice on Night. It started out in a tiny town with a Jewish community but quickly picks up pace and gets right into our main character Elie and his family's journey to Auschwitz. The book does a very good job at using descriptive language to put an image in the readers head. So far the book is really good and I am excited to read more.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the book did a good job describing the location of each concentration camp? I think it painted a great picture of a bleak landscape that could be imagined as hell on earth for each and every inmate
DeleteI would have also read this book because chase said it was good and it is a quick read that gets the point a crossed quickly.
DeleteThis book was a great read for me i felt like i was there when these jews were being beaten down.
Deletethis book is a great read it has a lot of informant that you have to watch out for .
DeleteI chose Night, by Elie Wiesel. I chose this book because it was the choice book i previously requested. I chose this book because it was a Holocaust memoir, and it's an important piece of history i wanted to learn more about. Even though it is fairly short, i found it hard to put down as the story continued.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to read night, I always thought it would be interesting to learn more about the holocaust as well.
DeleteSomeone told me that this book would be hard and sad to read.
Deletei am reading night. i choose this book because i wanted to read something that i thought was interesting. i really like the book so far. so what is happening in the book is they are taking them to Auschwitz and they are killing all of the Jews because of Hitlers order
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting that was going to be my second choice if I couldnt read the book that I am right now
Deletei read this book and i thought it was a great read and you really get to find out what happened to the jews.
Deletemy book is old yeller and so far I've been introduced to the main character, Travis and his family. I picked this book because its about dogs and I love those kinds of book cause the adventures with them are always good. Im hooked on this book already because it has a poor family and the dog has the ability to change that.
ReplyDeleteI am reading smoke. So far in the book I have been introduced to two of the main characters, Pattyn and Jackie. So far the book has just talked about Jackie's father's death. I chose this book because someone recommended it to me. I like it so far.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds interesting, I wonder if they will find out who killed her dad or if it will just be a mystery for reader to guess at.
Deletei would just like to know who kills her dad sounds intresting
DeleteI am reading the book FableHaven by Brandon Mull I chose this book because I enjoy fantasy and mythical beings. I scanned the shelves to find a book that somewhat stood out to me and this book caught my eye. There is quite a bit of build-up to the mythical stuff but there lot of mystery going on in the book from people hiding things from the main characters. It starts with a road trip to their grandparents' mansion far away and their parents seemed to me in a hurry to leave them.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Never Give Up by Kyle Idleman. I chose this book becuase I love motivational books. My sister recommended this book to me becuase she just had finished it. So far I really like this book. It shares different scenarios and talks about gaining confidence to keep believing. It started by jumping right in and introducing the ,main character who is a pastor.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book! I have always wanted to read one like this, let me know how you like it in the end!
DeleteI am reading the book the Bane Chronicles pretty much its just a bunch of short stories from Magnus Banes prespective and takes place before and during the main series books. I really enjoyed the other books in this series and my sisters recomended it to me. I really enjoy this book its going by real fast. It starts with Magnus's adventures in Peru in the 1700s and jumps around time periods. I'm hooked because you don't really get a back round story for magnus before this.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The Vampire Academy and so far the book is very interesting. I have been introduced to 2 of the main characters. Rosalie and Lissa ran away from the academy and have been on the run ever since. Lissa is a royal moroi, which is what they call a vampire but they aren't like regular ones since they can go out in the sun. Rosalie is a dhampir, which means she is half vampire half human, and their role is to protect the moroi from strigoi. Strigoi are the evil vampires that only drink blood from moroi but they can't go out in the sun. It is confusing to remember that sometimes
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is, Micheal Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25. I choose this book because I thought it looked good when I was trying to find one in the library. After reading what the book was about, I thought it would be a exciting book for me to read. To start the book, this kid has these special electric powers and has to keep it a secret from everyone but then finds out another girl at his school also has the same sort of powers as well and they are trying to figure out why.
ReplyDeleteI think this would a great book for me too since I am also reading about somebody that is in prison. Would you recommend this book to anyone?
DeleteI am reading the book Gabi, A Girl in Pieces. I chose this book because the librarian recommended it to me. She said she really enjoyed it and thought I would like it. I picked it because it sounded interesting, and the book is set up like a diary so I thought it was cool. I am actually really enjoying my book, it starts off talking about her past and her family. It's interesting because it's from a 17 year old girls perspective, so the stuff she talks about is relatable.
ReplyDeleteI am reading What The Fireflies Knew, by Kai Harris. I chose this book because I thought the cover looked interesting and reading the back of it. So far I am reading about a Young black girl basically living in the world by herself. Her name is Kenyatta and her father died of drugs and her mom left her and her sister at there grandfather and she dose not know when she will be back. Her and her sister do not really have a good connection and her grandfather don't really talk. At first it started off slow but its getting a better and I hope it will get more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book and I oved it so much. I think it is a great book for you and you will like it alot! it definitely gets a lot more interesting so you should keeps reading!
DeleteI am reading a Sherlock Holmes collection. I chose this book because I had read The Hound of the Baskervilles in my classic novels class and I enjoyed it a lot. So far in the book we have been introduced to Dr. Watson who has returned home after being injured in Afghanistan as a medic, and is looking for an apartment. He meets his old friend Stamford who tells him that he knows of a man, Sherlock Holmes, who is also looking for a place to live, but warns him that he is a strange man. Watson chooses to meet the man regardless, and eventually moves into an apartment with him.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The boy on the wooden box. I chose this book because i love reading holocaust books, they give me an insight on what it was like for Jews back in the day. When i was looking for a book i knew i wanted a holocaust book but i never thought of this one. After reading the first 20 pages i thought this book was a little slow but like every book, Leon Leyson is just introducing some background information. I think this will be a great book and cannot wait to keep reading it.
ReplyDeletei agree there are so many different insights of the holocaust and i too like reading about those things.
Deleteim reading the book a long way gone. im reading this book because i didnt get to read it the last time we choose the books we readed. its about a toy soliders in a cival war in his home country and he has to fight to survive
ReplyDeleteI am reading Then She Was Gone. I chose this book because I've been wanting to read it since last summer and I haven't had time to read it yet. I was going back and forth between this book and another, but I chose this one because it is a mystery genre and that is my favorite genre. The book is split into parts, in the first part it goes back and forth between the past and present. The main character of the book is Laurel and she has three kids Jake, Hanna, and Ellie. The past chapters give a background and eventually lead up to Ellie's disappearance.
ReplyDeleteI chose this book because I wanted to keep reading about the holocaust and this is good book that explains how family's get separated because of the camps. I got hooked right from the start because I was looking for a book like this and it was what I signed up for. It starts off introducing the main character. and how he has to work until he about dies during the work days.
ReplyDeletePrisoner B-3087
Deletei agree i really like learning about the holocaust as well. i might have to take a gander at this book if there are other copies.
DeleteThis was my favorite book for the longest time. I like the WW2 knowlege you learn and it is very interesting.
DeleteI read the book A Rebel in Auschwitz by jack Fairweather. I chose this book because I have always been interesting in these types of things and it looked like a good book. It was pretty easy to find my book i just went to the library and found this on the top shelf. The main reason i chose this book was mainly how interested I am in this genre. My initial thoughts on the book are that it is very intriguing and has a lot of twist and turns. My favorite part in the book so far is Withold joining the Polish resistance. The book starts off with the main character Withold leaving his family to join the war and soon after he is a general that runs away from his army and hides my German troops. It is getting better an is certainly a page turner.
ReplyDeleteafter reading night my whole view of the holocausts has changed and I'm sure you will learn new stuff
DeleteI am reading The Lighting Thief By Rick Riordan this book is about Percy Jackson and how he starts off as a normal teenager but he ended up what I would say is a great super power he is a half-blood meaning he is a gods son and half human so he does not have the power of being a full god but he has powers like heightened hearing, strength, vision, in this book be starts to realize what he is but he does not understand what is coming after him.
ReplyDeletei really like rick riordans books as well
DeleteI like the percy jackson series also because I like greek mythology.
DeleteThe Percy Jackson books are really good
DeleteI am reading Night, I chose this book because I like reading ww2 books and because I didn't get the chance to read it as my second book. Initially the book starts by introducing a new character named Moishe a man who has survived many attacks. He goes around towns telling his stories and meets the main character Elie when he was thirteen. After their encounter time passes and the story gets more interesting the Jews are forced leave their homes and go to a working camp.
ReplyDeleteI also chose this book for the history and because I want to learn more about World War 2.
DeleteI chose the trails of Apollo. I chose this book because i like rick riordans book and i really enjoy Greek and roman mythology. i have previously read the Percy Jackson book books and i knew that this book would be similar. the book starts with Apollo being cast down to earth as a mortal. he meets his demigod master meg. together they start there adventure to camp halfblood . i really enjoy this book so far
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson books are fire
DeleteI chose night, mostly because I like reading about history because i enjoy learning about the past and also because it was my top choice to book 2, at the beginning your introduced to this man named Moishe and eventually meets the main character named Elie. after a couple of months/ years the book picks up and the Germans force them to leave there homes and head to the labor camps.
ReplyDeleteI also chose that book because of the history and learning more about World War 2.
DeleteI also chose Night to learn more about the history in that time.
DeleteI chose the book The Return by Nicholas Sparks because I love his books and it's his newest book. This book starts off with a man named Trevor Benson who was in Afghanistan and came back. He suffered from PTSD and lost his grandfather. Trevor ends up living in his grandfathers place and meets a police offer named Natalie. I am hooked to this book and I hope something happens with Trevor and Natalie.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read the book The Hate U Give and I was instantly hooked. I chose this book because i have heard so many good things about it and I did not go through any processes to find this book. It is about a girl names Starr and her best friend gets shot at a party. Starr goes to a fancy private school because her parents want her to have a better life. The neighborhood she lives in is currently a war zone in response to the shooting of her innocent friend. I think this book can teach a person lots of important messages in life.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read "The Fifth Vital" by Mike Majlak. Mike is a youtuber and I discovered him through his videos. I enjoy him as a person and wanted to know more about him. This book follows his dark past of drug addiction and how he over came it. So far in the book Mike has described his normal loving childhood. He also gave readers a background on the opioid epidemic in the very beginning. I am interested to see how Mike got into drugs in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Lincolns Spy Master by Samantha Seiple. i chose this book because i like learning the insides and smaller details in history and how it went down. In this book Lincoln has many people out to kill him but he has a detective that is supposed to help and protect him throughout Lincolns trip to Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteThe book I'm reading is called Ghost Boys. I chose this book because I thought it was interesting but sad that it puts you into the perspective of a ghost of someone who died. The book starts off sad because the main character died right at the beginning. He was shot by a cop and the cop said he had no choice because he was carrying a gun, but why? Some things I found interesting about this book is that unlike the other books I've read this year, this book lets you know when the timeline shifts between before and after the event happened. It was really easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteI am reading a book called Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. This book is about three kids who were put into a mental hospital together for commiting suicide. They have all gone through their own struggles and express them in the novel. The book jumps perspective of the three main characters: Tony, Vanessa, and Connor. A friend had this book and they recommended it to me. I am hooked pretty good but the only thing i do not like about it is that it gets confusing when it jumps perspectives so much.
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds very interesting. three perspectives must be challenging.
DeleteI choose the book A stolen life by Jaycee dugard. This book was referred to me many people. A stolen life is about a little girl who was kidnapped at the age of 11. Jaycee was in captivity for over 18 years of her life before she was found. After Jaycee was found she wrote a book about her story and everything that happens. My initial thoughts on the book is that it is very descriptive and to the point. So far I love this book and I am very excited to read the rest of it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves autobiography and intense books.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Night because it was in my top 3 last time and I wanted to read it and learn more about the history of World War 2. The book seemed to start out slow with the first chapter introducing the main character Elie Wiesel and a little background knowledge to go with. After that it seemed to really pick up its pace and become very interesting quickly. So far this book has been decent so far and is very descriptive. I recommend this book to people want to learn more about history.
ReplyDeleteThis book was also one of my top choices. I agree it started out slow, I hope the pace of the book speeds up more.
DeleteThis is a great book and gives great incite on how the people went through their struggles. it does start slow but it picks up eventually and gets good.
DeleteI wish I would have got this book last time. It seems very interesting
DeleteI chose the book Night by Elie Wiesel because it was one of my top choices last time. I wanted to read it because it intrigued me to find a better understanding of how the Jews lived during that time. The book started out really slow because he was just introducing himself and other people while explaining his background. After a while of explaining the book started to hop right in and as of this moment him and other Jews were pushed out of their houses.
ReplyDeleteI also liked this book because of the fact that it gives a really good perspective on how the jews were treated. great book, but also very sad with all the struggles
DeleteI chose to read "the Laramie Project". I chose it because it is more of a common issue and a present issue rather than something from along time ago. I just went to the library and found it. I picked it so I could understand more current issues in our world. my initial thoughts are that its boring cause all they did at first was interview people. I'm not really hooked but its starting to grow on me
ReplyDeletemax what is the laramie project whats it about it sound somewhat interesting i need more info dude
Deletei chose to read Micheal vey the final spark because it is book seven in the series this is the seventh book in the series so i will give you a little background information. Michael Vey is no ordinary high schooler in fact hes far from it he is electric as in shoot electricity from your fingers electric he was part of an experiment when he was born and the experiment failed or so they thought because most of them died shortly after the experiment and the experiment also killed micheals dad it shocked him right in the heart so at the begining i thought he was dead turns out hes not hes the one behind the electrocan and the rebels against the elgen who are a power company who do experiments on things like rats and they turn the rats electric and whoever disobeyes hatch a scientist hungery for power and to take over the world wants every one of the eletroclan dead because they are standing in his way of taking over the world so in this book micheal gained enough power he climbed ontop of a tower during a lightning storm and when the lightning struck he blew up like a nuke ular bomb everything around them died or turned to glass like the sand and the elgens boat the Joule was stolen by the electroclan so now hatch has been having no sleep almost all of his army had been destroyed in the battle and he is almost bqeaten but not for long hatch is a smart evil caniving lowlife that gets what he wants or he will hurt someone to get it
ReplyDeleteI chose Billy Summers by Stephen King. I chose to read Billy Summers because it was the first book i saw on my dads desk and needed something to read for class. Billy Summers is a hitman for hire and he is about to do his last job. He ends up getting set up and isnt given the majority of his money from killing the target.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book wild life by Cynthia Defelice. I chose this book because it looks like an outdoor hunting book. I really like this book so far, Eriks parents got sent to Iraq for a war and Erik is sent to North Dakota to his grandparents house. I am definetely hooked into this book.
ReplyDelete
