Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
I decied to read the first Harry Potter book because many of my students have read the series. In college, I watched two of the movies, but I do not remember much about them. I do know that I enjoyed them! I hope that reading this book will help me relate to students and their connections to Harry Potter. I have read about one hundred pages, and I am already hooked! I hope to read the whole series this year!
The book I decided to read is named Slam. The book is about a teenage boy who is having trouble in school because he switched from a not as good school, to a more sophisticated school. More then anything else though he loves to play b-ball, cause that is his life basically. This book is extremely well because it talks in a language that many people would of been talking at that time, and I believe the main characters age is 16.
The book i chose is called Hang Time, by Bob Greene. I thought i might like this book because it is a book about Michael Jordan because he is my favorite athlete and i thoght that it might be interesting. So far i like this book because it gives a lot of information about his daily life and how he lives and what he goes through that i never knew. I had never read a book by Bob Greene before but so far I like his book Hang Time.
I am reading Burned by Ellen Hopkins and I chose this book because I read Crank by her in the past and I really liked it so I wanted to read other books by her, so far this book is really good every time I pick this book up it's hard for me to put it down I am also reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins and I am also really enjoying that book as well!!!! I would recomend this author for any one who likes freestyle poetry or for any one that likes a life based book!!!!
New Moon
I'm reading New Moon because it's the second book in the Twilight series. I really liked the first book. I don't really like this one as much as the first book. But it's still good. The movie for the first book is coming soon so I hope to finish the series by then!
I chose to read a book about poems called THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE. It is about tupac and what he wrote. Befor tupac died he wrote a bunch of poems and they took his originals and put them in the book as well. i found this book on my own. i love to write poems and find this really intereting. i know i will like this book because it resembles who i am as well. A WRITER
I chose to read Twilight for my independent reading book. It looked intresting and from what I have heard and read about the book, and it sounded intreauging. Two of my bestfriends have read it as well as the books that follow in the series; and they got them done in a matter of days. So I decided to read it and see what the comotion was all about :)
I chose to read Halo: The Fall of Reach because I played both of the video games for the XBox. I always wanted to know what happened before the start of Halo. My brother had actually read the series before me and really liked it (even though he does not play the game that much). I hope that I will like it because I love the storyline of Halo and hope to learn more about the story.

This book is extremely well because it talks in a language that many people would of been talking at that time, and I believe the main character is around the age of 16.
Wicked
I am reading Wicked and so far love it. I feel bad for Elphaba (the wicked witch). I also feel sorry for Galinda on her first day of school in Shiz. Galinda in my opinion is slightly stuck up. I hope I enjoy the rest of the book and so far I highly recomend it. Right now I don't really relate to the book much but am enjoying reading it.

I chose my book 'Cirque du Freak' because i heard it was a good series. My book is about a boy who steals a spider and his friend gets bit. That is as far as I have gotten, so i can't really explain anymore. So far, I think this book is a bit boring. Nothing really has caught my interest so far, but I am hoping that changes. The caracters seem younger in this book. This book is fiction.
The book i decided to reas is princes in love. Mia is tring to to find a boyfriend. she thinks that everyone has a boyfriend exept for her. She keeps getting this love letter from this guy who she dosnt know who it is, but she soon founb out it was kenny. They soone became a cople. But Mia found out that she really dosent like him like that anymore. She liked her best friends brother micheal. she didnt want to brake up with her because she didnt want to heart him,or she didnt want to be known as the dirl without a boy friend.
The book i decided to read i the fight of brama high. The name of it sounded good and i think i can relate to drama cause there is a lot of it.
