The Last Lecture


If you were one of the millions of people who have seen the last lecture and you liked it, you should read the book. The book gives commentary regarding the last lecture and just makes it that much more meaningful.

If you haven't seen the last lecture, you ought to watch it and then read this book.

The Magic Thief


This book was very creative with a different way to look at magic. I wasn't thrilled with the way it ended and so I wasn't super excited in reading the second book. But now that a little time has passed, my curiosity is getting the best of me and I want to read the second one to find out what happened.

Gambit


This is a mystery book with lots of twists and turns. It has interesting characters but in the end I wouldn't recommend it. It really isn't a book written to or for kids.

The Capture


This is a book I have been wanting to read for years. Lots of kids are reading it right now because of the movie, so I finally decided I should as well. I have to say that I was disappointed in the book. It was a little bit violent and it just wasn't my favorite book. I probably won't read the others. If any of you have read all of the books, I wouldn't mind knowing what happens in the series. Maybe someone would leave me a comment and let me know, since I'm not going to read the rest.

Paws Off Cheddarface!


Another Geronimo Stilton book. I liked this one even more than the last one. It has an engaging plot and is humorous.

Last Year's Reading Poster














I enjoyed making and updating this poster of what I read during the past school year.

I didn't want to take it off the wall when it was time to put up my new poster for this year, so I took a picture of it so I can remember what I've read.

If you haven't looked at the reading posters turned in by students this year, make sure you check them out to see all of the great books that were read over the summer.

Chalk


Mrs. Romney and her class gave me this book last year. I really enjoyed reading it! Count how many words you can find in the book.
