Howl's Moving Castle

Been reading lately, but it was Winter Break so I watched a lot of movies, I was looking through my disk list when I saw a movie called "Howl's Moving Castle", I remembered how good the movie was so I watched again. I was so inspired as how creative it was, I decided to read the book and magically our amazing library has that book!

I loved it dearly right after I finished the first 3 pages. It's incredibly good and unique in a way that's so....unique! I complimented so much that so much students want to read it so much, I still recommend it! It's a book that deserves to be read by everyone. My dear friend who is reading it right now loves it as much as I do, I hope you would borrow it and read it because it's just extraordinary.

Books I've Read Lately

I have read a lot of different and amazing books lately. "Out of the Dust" and "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" are really different but still really good books.

 "Out of the Dust" is told using poems but it's good, if I were to mark it out of 10, I would definitely give it a 10. "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" is about this girl named Calpurnia Tate who is interested in science, you might think that is normal but for a girl in the 20th century,  definitely not....And don't forget, she is the only girl in her six brothers, imagine the problems that she faces!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series

OMG! It is the best book I've ever read, well, for now it is. I think it is a bit better than Gregor the Overlander, you can imagine how good it is.

When Ms. Stacia recommended this book to me, I was like, "Uh.... Ok... Maybe...." and I thought that it would be soooo boring just like the movie but I was absolutely, incredibly wrong! It is a breath-taking book and I can't describe how much I love it!!!!

It is about a half god, half human boy named Percy. His father is Poseidon so he can control water, not get wet when he just came out from water, breath underwater and cure injury using water. Isn't that cool? Well, he um... his father is one of what they call 'The Big Ones'. The Big Ones include Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, the three main gods. They made an oath to not have more children but Poseidon did and it was Percy. He approach quests and met his best friends, Annabeth (Athena's child) and Grover (stayr).

Have you ever heard or Greek Mythology? Well, it is INCREDIBLE, PHENOMENAL, AWESOME, UNEXPLAINABLE,.... It's so built-up. Oh, sorry... let me tell you what Greek Mythology is. Basically is tells us how the gods and goddesses came to rule and the beginning of life, you might think, "Oh... Another boring story but believe me, when I was in 4th grade, our teacher taught us about this and we all got obssesed with it. REALLY OBSSESSED I tell you. It's out of the world!!!!

You have to read this series because it is so good that I can't even find a word good enough for it, for now, I'll say it's out of the world.

Choosing the Right Book

If you're having a hard time finding a book that you will enjoy, here are some tips to help you!

1. First of all, you should find out what genre do you like most. Each person is different, you might like to read adventure books or fiction books or mystery.

2. Once you know what genre you want to read, for example I'll just say that you like adventure book. You can either ask Ms. Stacia for an outstanding adventure book, use Destiny Quest to find a book from our library or spend some time looking around the library and find a suitable book.

3. Remember: DO NOT judge a book by its cover. The cover doesn't express and tell you what the book is about. Instead, you should flip the book and read the summary, if you like it and think that it is interesting, go check it out!

4. If it is too hard then find another book.

I hope you will be able to find a book that you will like using the steps above!

Books That I Will Read

I have a never-ending list of books to read and I wanted to share some of them to you and maybe you might decide to borrow one of them. Right now, I'm reading the second novel of Peter and the Starcatchers(another excellent book to read) which is Peter and the Shadow Theives (also really, really good). My goal is to finish the series. After I finished the series, I want to read:

Jane Erye by Charlotte Bronte

The cover doesn't look very interesting but it's a great book. Actually, it's my mom's favorite book so I decided to read it! Basically, it's about this woman named Jane Erye, she was hired by a rich man who had a crazy wife to be servant. One day, the crazy wife burned the house down and blinded the rich man. It's very emotional and the author describes the details very clearly.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

It's about this state competition. Each town has to nominate a boy and girl in the age between 11 to 19 to go to this arena and try to survive. They will not be provided with anything and every one who had been nominated has been died of stavation or any other reason. This is a very exciting book!

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester

Actually, I don't know what this is about. Obviously I think that this book is about a girl who could fly!

Chasing Vermeer

This book is a mystery book. It's not thick, it's about the size of 39 Clues so I think that it will be a great book for anyone. It's not long too! I think that this detective is on the look out to find a missing person. I read the summary last year so I kind of forgot. My 5th Grade teacher recommended this book to me so I wanted to let you know this is a great book to read if you're interested.
