Reading Minute (outside reading)

Scratch Beginnings
By Adam Shepard

For my reading minute i decided to read a book that i just started reading. This book is called Scratch Beginnings and is written by Adam Shepard. This book is about Adam search to find the "American Dream" still alive today. Adam thinks that the American Dream is starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top to achieve success. Adam started a new life with 25 dollars, a duffel bag, the clothes on his back, and nothing more. His goal was to make 2,500 dollars, have a working car, and a furnished apartment in one year. I am not to far in this book yet but I really like it so far and i think it has a good message to read to the class.

Eclipse
By Stephenie Meyer

I started reading the book Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer and I'm already on page 267. I like this book so much I read it every night for about 3 hours, sometimes 4 hours. This book is the third book of the Twilight series and so far it is my favorite of the 3 I have read. So far in this book Bella is trying to manage dating Edward while still remaining friends with Jacob, but it is hard because Edward is a vampire and Jacob is a werewolf and those to creatures are swore enemies. At first Jacob would not talk to Bella because she had choosen Edward over him but then he realized that he could deal with just being friends for a while, and Edward finally agreed that it was not dangerous for Bella to be around Jacob so he let her go to visit him. If I was not doing this right now then I would be reading.

New Moon
By Stephenie Meyer

I finally finished reading the book New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I really like the way the book ended because everything was put back together and all the worries and bad things that happened were fixed, but at the same time it leaves you with so many unanswered questions and cliff hangers. This book was amazing and I am so excited to see how they turn it into a movie, even though I know that won't be for a long time. In the last 300 pages or so a lot happened. First Jacob was started to act really weird, then when he wouldnt even return Bella's phone calls she finally decided to go to visit him even if he didnt want her there. Jacob could not explain to her what was going on because he was not allowed to tell anyone so he told Bella to figure it out on her own. When Bella did figure it out she rushed over to see Jacob and found that she was right. Jacob had become a werewolf. In the very end Edward returns home after a huge adventure that I think anyone would enjoy reading.

New Moon
By Stephenie Meyer

I am reading the book New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and I am now on page 201. All of my friends that have read this books have told me that New Moon is the worst in the series but I don't think so, so far. I really like it even thought Edward is gone and Bella is sad I think it is still exciting and entertaining. Bella has just become really great friends with a boy named Jacob that she has known since she was little, and although she knows that Jacob likes her, Bella just thinks of him as her brother and sometimes wishes he was. Edward had made Bella promise not to do anything reckless or stupid while he was gone but Bella found that when she did she could her his voice in her head and she wanted more of that. I hear the voice again Bella bought two motorcyles and asked Jacob to fix them up for her. Then the two of them rode the motorcyles and soon enough Bella could her Edwards voice like he was right there with her. I'm excited to see what she will do next.

New Moon
By Stephenie Meyer

I just started reading the book New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. This book is the second book in the Twilight series. New Moon is 563 pages long and I have never read a book that long before. The part i just finished reading was really sad and it made me cry. I have never cried from a book before but these books just make you feel like your inside of them. In the part that I've read so far the main character Bella is perfectly happy with her life and wants Edward in it always and forever, but then suddenly Edward tells her he has to leave and him and his family take of and Bella is never going to see them again. Edward was the only one to actually say goodbye to Bella because he thought that with the rest of his family a 'clean break' would be best. I can not wait to find out what happens next.

Twilight
By Stephenie Meyer

I finally finished reading the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I think I read this book faster then I've ever read a book in my life. I read about 300 pages in one day because I wanted to finish it before I saw the movie. I love this book and I am so glad I read it. I can not wait until I go buy the second book so I can start reading it. I think this book has something that anyone and everyone would enjoy. Twilight has adventure, romance, supense, mystery, fantansy, and much much more. Because of that I would recommend this book to everyone. Even my mom started reading Twilight.

Twilight
By Stephenie Meyer

I read a lot more of the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. This book is 498 pages long. I usually don't like to read that long of books but this book is different because it is so good. I am trying to finish this book before the movie comes out on friday but I am a slow reader so I dont know if I will be able to. In the part that I recently read Bella finally becomes closer with Edward. They are basically the two main characters. Bella knows that Edward is hidding something but she can't figure out what it is until she meets a boy named Jacob. Jacob tells Bella that people in his family believe Edwards family, the Cullens, are vampires. Bella does not want to think abot this though because if she does she will get lost in her thoughts and won't be able to think about anything else. I really, really like this book so far and I can't wait to read more. If I wasn't doing this right now I would be reading it.
