Booktalks discussion

Hi, I'm Minerva, and I just turned into 7th grade. I am a great reader, and a honest to goodness crammer(only with books). I'll pretty much read any book, but tries to avoid some movies. I want to be an Science teacher, a librarian, a WWII historian, or an interior designer when I grow up. Well anyway, nice to meet you.

New members, post your name, a bit about yourself, and on second thought, a book, or series, that should definitely be made into a movie.

Hi, I’m Gilly 2, but I guess you can just call me Gilly as a nickname ( because I can’t give away my name) and because the 2 most likely makes no sense to anyone. Hmm... a little about myself? I LOVE Mary Poppins, DESPISE Mary Poppins Returns, I love Star Wars, hmm... what else? I like creating. I also like writing. My friend, Anna 2 (I’ll just call her Anna since the 2 probably makes no sense) Anna and I are writing a book that is a continuation of my favorite book series. Okay, I have only ever been REALLY interested in one book series: Fairy Tale Reform School. And I think those books should be made into a move! In fact, I’m writing a screenplay on it!

Oh my god, you like Mary Poppins and Star Wars too? And FTRS should definitely become a movie, though Secrets of My Hollywood Life, also by Jen Calonita, would be a great candidate too.

Yes!!! Although I've only read KOTLC in your list, it's a great series, with great characters, especially Sophie and Fitz, or Sophitz, if you prefer to call it that:)

ooooohhhh

Hello!
Since I have a really weird username, just call me R or somein.
I'm still a student, unfortunately, and have no idea what I want to become. I really love languages and science, so maybe a teacher like Minerva? (hi Minerva!) Ugh. We'll see when i pass stupid 7th grade.

So I'm not really a fan of seeing a book-adapted-movie, because they will never be better. But i really, really want to see a Rick Riordan book made into a movie decently. Like Kane Chronicles or Percy Jackson.
Oh I DNF-ed KOTLC too early, oops. Is it good? I might give it another go. I was ADDICTED to the first book, though.
Anyway, nice to meet everyone! Have a great day! I have to go do algebra now, lol.

Hey, you can call me Hayley! I really like the FTRS series, Rick Roirden (did I spell that right?) books, and Agatha Christie mysteries. And yes I am working through Algebra too, lol

Good luck with your Algebra:) Sadly, I also have pre-algebra, which sucks.

Hi Hayley!
Ooh! Agatha Christie is the best. She's so cool, i can start rambling right now, but i will refrain from doing so the consequences are deadly lol

Hey R! Yay! I found someone who likes Agatha Christie too! I actually just started Peroits last case. My favorite is the Murder of Robert Ackroyd! Have you ever red that one?? That one was so interesting! Do you have a favorite? Oh, have you ever read the Crooked House? That one was ingenious.

Yep, loved Roger Ackroyd. And this book i remember specifically because i think it was the first book i guessed the murderer of. I know, I couldn't believe it for a week.
Hmmm, difficult to choose one, but my favorites are Five Little Pigs, Evil under the Sun, Poirot's Christmas and Appointment with Death. I adored And Then There Were None, but i felt positively evil after reading it for quite a while, so...
No, I haven't read crooked house unfortunately. I haven't read a bunch of them. But I'm planning to as soon as I can!
Nice to meet you Hayley! Hope we can talk more Christie when i finally come around to reading more of them! :l

I can't join in on Agatha Christie, but I do like Conan Doyle and Maurice Leblanc. You know, Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin, that stuff.

Ah, Sherlock m'boy. I enjoyed his adventures so much. Especially when he's being a sarcastic boss.
i tried the BBC adaptation, and holy tacos was it was amazing. Has anyone watched it?

No I've only read it. I don't watch that much American television channels. Or rather, my parents don't. But I'm willing to try it if my parents let me.*hopeful eyes*

Ohhhhh, I finally finished And Then There Were None this summer. The only thing is you kinda have to focus to read them, but it's worth it. It gave me that trapped feeling, it was really creepy. Lol, I didn't read another mystery for a while either. I actually haven't read very many. Just Murder on the Orient Express, the Murder or Robert Ackroyd, The Crooked House, and Then There Were None. One thing I appreciate is that the murder generally happens quickly. Like, you don't have to wait 8 chapters. Also, it is so crazy how Christie gives you everything you need to know who did it, and then you find out who it is and you're like of course it was him or her! That makes total sense, but it never occurred to you that it would have been that character? The Crooked House was like that, it is so crazy. Sorry, I wrote a lot, lol

I HAVE to read more murder mysteries. I've kind of been stuck in my read-only-WWII-books period that happens ever so often, and I just got out of it like 2 weeks ago so I need to read more genres.

Try the Murder of Robert Ackroyd that ones my favorite! They can be a little confusing, but I think they're really interesting.

I will def try that as soon as I finish the KOTLC series I'm reading. I think it'll take me about another 1.5 days, but that book is now on my asap tbr list.

You're going to loooove Agatha. I feel excited for you lol

I'm Clarissa (or Raz 2. Most of you know what I'm talking about), and I'm going into 7th grade.

I love to read! I play piano and saxophone.. That's about it. Lih.

A Book Series that should be made into a movie:

Basically, ALL OF JEN CALONITA'S BOOKS!!!

lih.

Fairy Tale Reform School

Royal Academy Rebels

Sleepaway Girls/Summer State of Mind

Secrets of My Hollywood Life

Belles

Turn It Up (Maybe)

Reality Check (It's kinda stereotypical, but Jen wrote it so it should be a movie)

VIP

Oh! And the Willow Falls Series by Wendy Mass.

And The Mother-Daughter Book Club Series by: Heather Vogel Fredrick. (Trust me, it's not as boring as it sounds!!)

The Friendship list series by Lisa Greenwald

Thats it....hopefully

Yay, hi Raz or Clarissa, it's Hayley! Which do you want to go by?

Clarissa. Or Raz. I don't really care. Which ever you prefer!

Have y'all ever heard of Hoopla? It's like your library on an app, sort of. I have found a lot of books on there. They also have audiobooks, movies, and music/ soundtrack albums. Just a recommendation, it's helped me in the past :) Oh yeah, and it's free with your library card I think, which is the best part.

YES!! I've had it for like 2 years!! It's amazing!! It has Hamilton!!! And Little Shop of Horrors!! And FTRS!!! and AHHH!

I use it all the time :)

Except some countys don't support it.... :(. I feel bad for the people who can't use it...

Yes!!! That is what I've been using it for! Haha, I told you I haven't seen Hamilton, but I've listened to it, on YouTube and Hoopla! Hoopla is amazing. And it had the FTRS books as soon as they're released, it's great. I've never seen LSH, it's good?

I've never seen Little Shop of Horrors either...

I've been listening to the album from the off-broadway with my mom. THE ALBUM IS AMAZING! We've been listening to it because Johnothan Groff plays Seymour (and my mom is obsessed with Johnothan Groff...).

STORY TIME!!

I was at a music store with my dad, and while we were waiting, we looked at the clearance books that were all like a dollar. I opened up a random one (LSH piano book w/ lyrics) to a random page and started reading out loud. It was at the page with the "Dentist" song. And I was laughing at the same time as thinking "WHAT THE HECK?!". Here are the lyrics:

When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun
I'd poison guppies and when I was done
I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head
That's when my mama said

What did she say?

She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque!
Watch him suck up that gas!
Oh, my god!
He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good
Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade?
Oh that hurts!
I'm not numb!

Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come!
I am your dentist

Goodness gracious!

And I enjoy the career that I picked
I am your dentist

Fitting braces

And I get off on the pain I inflict
When I start extracting those molars
You girls will be screaming like holy rollers

Dentist!

And though it may cause my patients distress
Somewhere in heaven above me, I know that my mama's proud of me
'Cause I'm a dentist- and a success
Say ah! Now spit.




Do you see why I was confused?? At first my dad was like "What!?!?" with me, but when I finished the first page he said "Oh! Little shop of Horrors!"

Anyways.

I don't know the EXACT storyline because I made my mom stop ruining everything for me.

Apparently Seymour feeds his plant his blood...

It's not as bad as it sounds!

Lih.

Oh. Wow. That was long.

(So SORRY I didn't respond sooner! I was in the middle of typing this and my dad tole me to take my shower...)

It's sad, but since I don't really go to public libraries, I can't use any library apps, since they require library cards, which I don't have:((((((((.

Aww. Sorry. :(.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Nah, I have my own ways of reading books

Haha. Okay.

You must if you've read so many. lih

I mean I can't afford all those books can I? lol

Hah!

Hi Raz! You play piano? Me too! Lol, i love piano. Which genre?

All!! Actually, I just finished recording a piano trio with my brothers! They are 8 and 10. It turned out better than I thought!

I like playing Harry Potter Songs and Beethoven.

And the SGE "One True King" song.

Do you read the School for Good and Evil (SGE)? It is a movie in the making!!

Oh, that's so cool. You have someone to play with. No one's interested in it in my house lol

I actually tried SGE once, and for some reason i can't recall i dnf-ed it quite a while ago. Hmm, movie? I think i'll read it after all.

haha. It's REALLY GOOD! IM OBSESSED!!!!

My brothers and I don't get along very well...

Sibling rivalry...

I was kinda forced to do a trio, but they dont talk while playing piano so thats a plus!

Younger brothers are the worst

Seriously??? Y'all play piano too? So do I! Wow!

Do y'all ever do Suzuki pieces? I can play the Black Pearl and most of He's a Pirate from the Pirates of the Caribbean. And also the first part of Fur Elise. I'm learning this new song called Message in a Bottle, it's really pretty.

That's so cool that y'all play too!

I play piano sometimes but I’m not very good... I’m trying to learn Married Life from Up! I have a book that teaches me some Disney songs! My favorites to play are Be Our Guest and A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Currently, I’m trying to learn two songs: Beginning of Everything and As Long as I’ve Got You 😉

Oh wow, I finally found music people. I'm more of a classical person, so I play fur elise and sad heartwarming songs, but I'm trying to learn the songs from the greatest showman, they're really pretty

I know, I really liked the song from the greatest showman, and I attempted to sing it, but I sounded terrible. and I used to do the piano, but since I got busy with intermediate stuff, I stopped. I still play the cello for school though.
