Rhyme poem

our favorite song
that is never too long
sometimes forgotten
that we play to often

Eleanor and Park

         This week I read Eleanor and Park. It is a non-fiction book written by Rainbow Rowell. The book starts off with the two main characters (Eleanor and Park) who are totally different from what seems to be everyone. They end up being forced to sit together on the bus and they begin a school year full of finding love with each other. Although this is a romance novel I think that everybody should read this even if a person is not always into romance books, because it is really well written and it has a great story that is really interesting. Overall this was a great book that I really enjoyed reading and I would definitely recommend.

The Truth About Forever

This week I read the fiction book The Truth About Forever written by Sarah Dessan. This book is about a girl named Macy who watches her father die. She doesn't know how to react to the loss and mourn. She begins to life a very free life where she begins to do crazy things. She has a lot of fun but she also faces many challenges. I thought that this was a really good book, it was a lot different then how I thought it was going to be and I think that the characters were really well developed. While reading the book I found myself be able to know the characters. I also think that the plot of the book is really different then many books that I have read. Overall this was a great book that I think a lot of people should try. Some of the books I would like to read over winter break are : Impulse, City of Bones, Beautiful Darkness, No Easy Day, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 

Slice of Life 1

I try not to wince as the buckets try to fit into the next divet. After a few minutes the buckles are the tightest they can be. I stand, attempting to gain my balance, and lean forward. My toes that had been previously cheated, slide away for the end of the book. After aAfter a while my feet began to ache, barely having enough time to get them off, I free my feet. Almost seconds later another pair of boots arrive at my feet ready for me to try them on.

Tracks

This week I read the non-fiction book Tracks written by Robyn Davidson. The book is a first hand account of when she took the journey of walking across the Australian desert. It was a 1,700 mile long walk where she only had a dog and four camels. She faces all of the challenges that come with the desert and then some. It was a really inspiring book where I really got to know the character, who was such a strong person. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I feel like so would many others.'

Beautiful Creatures

            This week I read the fiction book Beautiful Creatures written by Garcia Stohl. The book is about a girl named Lena Duchannes who is different from everyone. She struggles to hide her given powers from the outside world and fix a curse. After moving to the small town of Gaitlan, Ethan Wate comes into her life, being first introduced into the world of magic and curses. This book was really good, I first saw the movie, and after reading the book I still think that they are both great, and there are not tons of huge differences between them, other than some details. The author writes it in a way where you get to know the characters in really great detail. Also I think that the plot of the book is a really cool idea. Overall I think that this book was really good and would be great for people who enjoy the mystery fictional type books.
            As for a genre or type of book for book groups I think that it would be interesting to do a non-fiction book because I have not done one, and I think that the discussions would be so much different than fiction books. I think also doing a mystery would be interesting.

The one that smiles back

Blank faces
staring at traffic lights

Feet shuffle on
the corners of streets

Too many faces
with unspoken stories

This poem is for
the one that smiles back
