Room 107, Period 6 discussion

What three books would you most like to receive as gifts? List the title, author, and why you're interested in reading the book. Use what you know about picking books - especially using helpful web sites - to make your list.

There is no end of books I'd like to see under the tree this December. If I could pick three, they would be:

1. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet. Many of my friends have read this and claim it is the best thing. Ever. I don't read much history, so I'd like to have it as a change of pace.
2. Lessons from a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles. This is a book Reed doesn't have and I'm curious to read. It has been challenged in a couple of different cases, and I firmly believe in reading material that disturbs people.
3. Rebound by Bob Krech. I haven't read a sports book in a while, and basketball isn't a sport I've ever read about. Baseball, football, soccer. But never hoop.

Dear Santa,
For this Christmas I would like three things...
1. The book My Abandonment by Peter Rock.
2. The book Fallen by Lauren Kate.
3. And last but not least, the book
If I Stay by Gayle Forman.

P.S. This is only a tenth of my official list... :)

Okay my book wish list consists of the last 3 books in the crank series because I got realy connected with the first one. The story is just so realistic. And since most of it takes place in the town i live in.

1.The Quillan Games by D.J. MacHale. I've been reading the Pendragon series and I really like the books, whenever I read books of this series I always find myself completely involved with the story.
2.High Rhulain by Brian Jacques. I'm a big fan of this series, I've read every book in the series besides the most recently published books and want to finish reading the series.
3.The Fall of Reach by Eric S. Nylund. I've had this book recommended to me by my cousin, he said it was a really good book and I'd like to read it to see if I'd want to read more books like it.

Three books to have for Christmas, I have to choose three? Well, ok:

1.)Fallout by:Ellen Hopkins.

2.)A Child Called "It"and A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness by:Dave Pelzer. I have the second one, and I'd like to finish off by getting the 1st and 3rd.

The three books I am truely interested in and would really like to get for the holidays are:

Kissed by an Angel: Kissed by an Angel; The Power of Love; Soulmates by Elizabeth Chandler- I think this book would be pretty good because I'm interested in things including angels and I have read some of her books before and enjoy reading them.

Winter's Passageby Julie Kagawa- I have read the first book to the series, though it took me long to read for my level of reading, I enjoyed it very much and would like to continue the series. I really enjoyed the fairytale things that were in the book and I enjoyed the way the author wrote the story.

CrescendobyBecca Fitzpatrick- I want to get this book because I read Hush, Hush and I really very much like it because of the suspense and I'm hoping this next book will be the same. I would like to continue the series and see what happens next.

1.Hawkx by Tom Clany. I like military jet and I like to read it.
2.CujobyStephen King.I'm getting two bulldogs and i'n naming one cujo and it's a killer dog.

1. A Dance For 3 by Vladimir Tod. Its about teen pregancy,I want to find out how she deals with the drama.
2. I Know What you did Last Summer by Lois Duncan. I heard it was good and I want to try it.
3.ANGELA'S ASHES by Frank McCourt, I dont really read creepy books, but this one sounds good.

If I could pick three books, they would be:
1:Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. When my friends were talking about this book, I thought this book would be an interesting book for me. Also the book cover catches my attention.

2:Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. One of my friend saw the movie called Let the right one in. I don't know if this movie and the book relates but I just wanted to try.

3:Heart to Heart: New Poems (Scholastic Edition) Inspired by Twentieth-Century American by Jan Greenberg. This book is going to be a challenge since I don't like reading poetry. This book might help me get to know poetry better because according to review it is about art. I should try something new and gain more knowledge.

A list of books I would want for X-mas..

1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Mrs. Sharpe and a few of my friends have mentioned this book to me, so I thought I would give it a shot.

2. The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. The reason for this series is my brother read it and said it was good. My brother and I like the same things so I think I would like it too.

3. My Father's Son by Terri Fields. The reason is i read a short caption about it and the book sounds interesting.

A book that I would like too read and recieve for the holidays would be Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon by David Michaels. I read a lot of his books and they are fantastic. Read these books if you like American Realism, I would
.
The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy. Looks like a good book, it has a periscope pole. Looks like submarine warfare. I would like to recieve this for the holidays.

Cross (Alex Cross, #12) by James Patterson. I enjoy rading the series of Alex Cross. I would like to recieve this book for christmas or another holiday. I would reccomend reading this series if you like reading about detective work and hunting down psycopaths.

On the top of my list of books for the hollidays is the Lockdown series consisting of Lockdown: Escape from Furnace, Furnace: Solitary, Furnace: Death Sentence I chose these books because I am currently half way through Lockdown: Escape From Furnace and it constantly has me on the edge of my seat and i never know what is going to happen next. I have never read a book like this one that keeps me that inertained and it makes me never want to stop reading. number 2 on my list is The Inventors series consisting ofThe Inventors, The Inventors and the City of Stolen Souls. I chose these books because this author has became my top author and by far my favorite and I look forward to reading more of his books, also, i read alot of reviews on here about the series and they were all good reviews and i read the summary about it and it makes me want to read it more. Last and final on my list is Scribbler of Dreams because some people have recommended it to me and also there have been some really good reviews and even know its not a book i normally would read im willing to go out of my comfort zone and try some new things.

1. Friend Is Not a Verb byDaniel Ehrenhaft. I was browsing Guyslitwire and found it and figured it would be a good opportunity to look through a window to a 16-year-old guy

3. Looking for Alaska byJohn Green, for the same reasons as the book listed above

The three books I am hoping to see under the christmas tree are:

"In the days after the hugging man leaves, I consider myself in the mirror. My plain self, not the self wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a flimsy dress.

Sometimes I see a girl who is growing into womanhood. Other days I see a girl growing old before her time.

It doesn't matter, of course. Because no one will ever want me now." ... Interesting, isn't it?

2.The Geography of Girlhood by Kirsten Smith. I am interested in this book because I feel that being a girl, I will have much in common. Plus the ratings on this book are pretty high, so it must be good.

3.The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. I loved all of his books that I've read and can't help but want to see more of his great work.

1.Nineteen Minutes I want this book because it seems introsting.
2.Dash & Lily's Book of Dares Will i heard from friends that this book is good and introsting.
3.Someone Like YouThe cover got my attention and it seems like a good book so i would like to read it.
