This is definitely a change in the books that I usually read. As Tarma said, it begins by talking about how Miranda's mom made it onto the 20,000 Pyramid Show (I used to watch that, I liked that game show!) I like how is shows us how the mom is preparing for it, but to me the beginning of this book ...

Happy Birthday to our favorite Queen Cody!!!

What is a birthday party for a Queen without a....





TIARA!!!!

Ally is a completely different person from the beginning of the book to the end. In the beginning of the book, we meet a very angry, withdrawn and given up student. She is angry with the world, and has no intentions for changing her mindset. Fast forward to the end of the book to a confident Ally w...

The most memorable sections in the part of the book that stood out to me was when Mr. Daniels told Ally that he was studying to be a Special Education Teacher and that he would help her to learn to read. I was excited to hear this, as this is what I do for a living, and from the moment we were intro...

My favorite part in this section was when Ally and her group were trying to guess what was inside of the box. Ally was the only one of the teachers students ever to get the glue stick box answer correct. I believe that Ally's teacher is trying to show her that she has more abilities and strengths th...

When I first began this story, Ally reminded me of several of the students I work with on a daily basis. Ally puts me into the mind of them. How hard it must be for them to fit into a classroom where they don't fit into the "norm." I can't help to think that if we all stopped to think about our stud...

Title: Matilda Author: Roald Dahl Series: No Genre: Fiction I never got around to reading Matilda for the book of the month, so I decided this would be the perfect time to re-read it. It has been a while since I have read the book, but I have also seen the movie several times. Before I move on, this...

Coldthisle is described as a boarding house where the workers help to keep the house running and the tenets needs' met. There ...

I guess I am one of few who do not think this book has gotten better. I am going to be truthful is saying that I am finding it hard to finish this book. I have not made a connection with Sabriel, nor the other characters/companions/whoever the creatures are on whatever page I'm reading. Tarma is che...

After reading other people's responses to the first seven chapters of this novel, I think I am going to be the first person to not like this book so far. I think it is quite boring right now. I haven't really gotten into Sabriel as a character yet, and usually by the first couple of chapters I can. ...

Book Title- Tales of the Peculiar Author: Ransom Riggs Genre: Fantasy, Fiction Series: NA Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs has several short stories about different historical peculiars. When I read it I thought of it as the bedtime type stories that peculiar parents would read to their childre...

So, I finished the book. I'm glad that Jonathan accepted Alanna, even after he found out she is a girl.I also like that she will be his squire, as I figured Alanna would be after she saved Jon from the sickness. I was not wowed by this book. As Tarma says, some books people absolutely love, while ot...

The interesting plot line of this novel continues! The part of the novel that made me think that this could not happen was finally revealed in these novels, although it was only briefly discussed. I am interested in seeing how this book ends. I hope it answers some of my questions that I have had on...

This book is definitely turning into a quick read! I finished Chapters 1 and 2 last night, and I have just now finished reading chapter 4. I definitely cheered for Alan/Alanna when she defeated her bully, finally. I said, "Go Alan!!" I'm still not 100% hooked on this book, but reading what Sky wrote...

I have finally gotten my hand on a library copy of the book (who knew it would be as popular as it was, considering it has been out for a while). Before typing up this reflection, I read what others had to say, and most of them were positive. I on the other hand am not wowed by it. The beginning utt...
