  The first book I have choosen is “Sweethearts”. There are various reason why I choose this book. One reason was because of the adorable cover. Sorry for judging a book by its cover!! =]
  But, who doesn’t like a book with a heart cookie that has had a bite taken out?
  I also choose it because I read the description on the back and I love stories with a mystery involved into them. I was also captured by the idea of that these kids are social outcast. I have always been very social so I am excited to read about these two social outcasts.

  I guess I will post a comment after other people do since there are none to comment on as of now!

  Remember…
  IHeartYou!!!

  P.S. Hopefully I will Heart this book!!

  Alright, Ashley since your the only other person to have posted a comment besides me, I guess I am forced to reply to you … oh wow. Well, I also considered reading this book, because I thought it would be neat and different. A mystery inside of a realistic story always ends up great. Let me know if it’s good enough for me to read … or if its just a waste of time.

  Well for starters, there are several books on the list that I thought would be worth my time to read, butttt since we only had to read a couple I had to narrow my choices. So, for my first book, I am reading This is What I Did, By: Ann Dee Ellis. The reason I chose this book, is that after I read the book summary, I was pleasantly suprised that it seemed a whole lot like my favorite book ever Black Water, By: Eve Bunting [Black Water is one of the only two books that I have ever read TWICE, so YES I absolutely LOVE it!] . I am really excited to read This is What I did, I think it will be very suspenseful. I have actually already read the first 2 pages, and they were kind of disturbing, and really freaked me out, like I read the first sentence and thought “… um okayy” .

Dylan obviously got it, too, but I know other people might not. As I said in class, my husband is not a fan of happy endings in books and movies and I think that’s the intent behind your comment, correct? This is actually on my personal “must-read” list and I think our audio copy is coming in this week! I can’t wait!

  Oooh! I just “read” Artichoke’s Heart as an audiobook this weekend as I was driving to my hometown and back. I thought that Rosemary, the main character, was a very realistic girl and I really enjoyed being with her on the personal journey that she took over the course of the novel. She learns a great deal about who she really is when she decides to stop hiding behind her weight issues and start living her life. It gets a thumbs-up from me!

  Mrs. Northcutt Reply:
  April 19th, 2009 at 9:48 pm

  I have to say that I am also a big fan of this book! I love how Frankie asserts herself and becomes a force to be reckoned with over the course of the book. She is smart and creative and she wants people to appreciate her for those qualities, but it’s difficult when her family thinks of her as their harmless “Bunny Rabbit” and her fellow students seem to appreciate her physical attributes more than her intellectual ones. We also have this book on audio if you want to listen on CD or an MP3 player/iPod!

  Great choice, Savannah! I think you’ll see lots of parallels between this book and the novel you’re reading in Literacy class, Nancy Farmer’s House of the Scorpion. I like to read books that make me reevaluate my opinions of controversial topics and this book certainly did that. As Jenna slowly begins to put the pieces of her life together you’ll be empathizing with her every step of the way and thinking about what her existence really means in the bigger scheme of things.

  Hello fellow bloggers or people who are just looking on this website because they have nothing else to do!

  Anyways speaking of the book project thing..my book choice was pretty much based on the cover..it’s pretty cool!(sorry about the whole “don’t base a book on it’s cover thing) But then I read the little description thing and it seemed pretty interesting so I decided tio give it a shot.

  It’s called the Alchemyst by Michael Scott, I really hope it’s a good book cause I need something to do at home! Goodbye blogaholics
