1) Favorite Childhood Book
Hands down the Magic Tree House books were my favorite childhood books. I feel like I read them all as a kid. It did not matter where or what the main characters were doing, it was all exciting to me. I remember checking two or three out of the library at a time and reading them during reading time in class and finishing them at home with my parents. And when I finished all the ones in the school library, I would just read them over and over again. They never got old to me. The Magic Tree house novels was definitaly a staple in my elementary school reading.
2)Book that Inspired Me
The Last Lecture has inspired me to live my life to the fullest and to not sweat the small stuff. The part that stuck with me the most was when Randy, the writer, just got a brand new car and he took his niece and nephew accidently spilled sticky soda on his seats. Instead of yelling at them like some close uncles would do he said it was okay, mistakes happen. Also the mark he made on his kids really got to me because they were to young to remember their father well before the cancer got to him. But he wrote this book, for them, so they have their father's lessons with them forever. The book not only touched me but probably all of America.
3)Favorite Book Read for School
Probably the only school book I could love was The Outsiders. Even though only in seventh grade the story of every single character had a story. Though I was not in the same situation as them I could relate to them just because they were young, and how a friendship was a friendship no matter what. No one can forget the famous line of "Stay gold Ponyboy". Also it was not a gender based book boys and girls both liked it. So when working in a group project everyone knew what was happening, and really got to learn more of the lessons about it. Also, hands down, book was a billion times better than the movie. The more detail the better.
4)Favorite Book That Turned into a Tv Series
Forget Pretty Little Liars novels, I loved The Lying Game! In three day I read three of the books just like a blink of an eye. Then after reading those of course I got excited to find out that it would become a Tv series on ABC family, then that pushed me to read even more of the book series, it was like a Lying Game epidemic. It had everything I wanted at the time a little love, a little crime, and a whole ton of crazy mystery. Once there were no more books to read it came in time for the show, and I was excited. I am not the person to watch Tv never the less get stuck on a Tv show, but I was for this book, because I knew what was coming. Each show was like a chapter to me. Though I loved the books more, the show was good enough for me.
5)Top Book on my Must Read List
Since my Readers Choice class has been raving about Fault in Our Stars, I've been dying to read it. I'm not the kind of reader that loves romantic books but something about it makes me want to read it. It is totally out of my comfort zone. After not only hearing a class description but watching the movie trailer makes me want to read it even more. Maybe if I try reading the classic John Green novels I might be hooked. Can't knock it until I try it.
6)Favorite Book that went to the Screen
I don't know what I have more love for The Great Gatsby or Leonardo DiCaprio. I loved the story of Gatsby struggle for love, and the lengths he would go for love. The imagery of the novel was amazing, I could picture it vividly from the characters to the grand parties. Since I loved the book and the movie came out with Leonardo DiCaprio made me more excited to visually see everything happening infront of me. Of course I liked the book a lot better, but now I think I have a better understanding of Gatsby as a character, and while re-reading it, it is not that bad to see Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby.
7)Book I Recommend to Friends
I just recently read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it was recommended to me by a friend. I liked the fact that it was more than just a quick read it had depth to it. I loved following what happened to Charlie, the main character, he had such a unique way of thinking and acting. I would recommend this book because I believe everyones got a little wallflower in them. Plus the novel teaches lessons that a teenager can clearly understand, it isn't hidden within the text, the reader just knows.
