It’s so annoying the way people expect books they have to read in class to be bad. I mean, my English teacher actually said to us that at least the book was short and we should be glad about that. Come on, what about us literarians?! (Sorry, I don’t think that’s a word)
i get this! I mean sometimes school does make you read crappy books but i've read some pretty awesome ones there too 01/21/2020 - 6:10pm yes i agree! theres a stigma that all school books are bad. NoT tRuE. there are plenty of great books that are cURReNt and amazing and why can't they read it FirSt before judging 01/22/2020 - 8:54pm |

“I hate this plan,” I said. “Let’s do it.” guess! Show all 7 comments Oh gosh I know this.... 01/20/2020 - 7:54am What is it? 01/20/2020 - 4:02pm (sounds like something I would read tho) ;) 01/20/2020 - 4:03pm Is it Rick Riordan? 01/20/2020 - 5:33pm is that leo or jason from Percy Jackson? 01/20/2020 - 9:54pm i know it was magnus chase, form the magnus chase series, but leo, or somebody form Percy Jackson probably said it too. both books/characters are RR's so it would make sense. 01/21/2020 - 4:12pm oooOOOOoo got it, good one :) 01/25/2020 - 11:48pm |

Ok does anyone else agree that Tris’ romance with Tobias in the Divergent series is totally out of character and makes the series not as great as it could be???
Yes! I totally agree! I feel like it really sent us on a plot that isn't as amazing as I think this universe had the potential for. 01/21/2020 - 1:22pm Thank you! I'm glad its not just me! 01/21/2020 - 6:09pm I’m not totally apposed to Tris and Tobias being together, but I guess I can see where you’re coming from. I do think that the books waste a lot of time describing their relationship in an unnecessary way, especially their fights and disagreements. 01/23/2020 - 5:18pm |

I would HIGHLY recommend The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly Barnhill. It's a magical, beautiful, heavy, thoughtful tale of wonderful characters. Also funny story about how I got into it... my best friend accidentally left it in my car after she came over and I started reading it and was hooked... I had to get my own copy after I returned it to her ;)
I LOVE that book!!! It's so awesome! 01/14/2020 - 11:37pm Love when you read books left by your friend in the car. 'Out Of My Mind' was one of the best books i've read, and it was a car find :) I will try and check it out :) 01/15/2020 - 9:46pm Oh, that is a really good book!!! 01/23/2020 - 7:27pm |

anybody else read the Eragon books??? (random fact for anybody reading this, the author wrote the first book when he was fourteen. i believe he published it when he was sixteen. it's now a series of books you can find in most libraries. i highly recommend reading it, if you like dragons, battles, adventures, swordsmanship, and all that shabang, it's a really good read.)
hahahahahaha,( again), you should ask my friend fire83. I think I have an unhealthy amount of book grudges. :) 01/13/2020 - 7:38pm |

Has anyone read the Magnus Chase series by Rick riordan? I’m dying to discuss and fangirl
Show all 8 comments I started the first book and really wanted to finish it but then just sort of trailed off and stopped... maybe I should try again, would you recommend? 01/03/2020 - 4:34pm Yes I have!!! 01/03/2020 - 4:58pm yah!!! I LOVE those books!!!!!!!!!!! they are my favorites!!!!! who's your favorite character? mine's Alex. 01/03/2020 - 10:51pm Hearthstone is my favorite! And yes I definitely recommend reading at least the first book in your free time! I love how the author created such diverse characters. It’s actually made me understand about different people and really respect them so much more 01/05/2020 - 11:26am yeah! I really love that about all of his books, he makes each individual character really feel alive, and their personalities run far deeper than the surface, creating a more whole person, and a better reading experience. 01/06/2020 - 9:13am And magnus is just so amazing!! there needs to be a book where magnus goes to camp half blood and sees everyone. Imagine magnus hugging nico! 01/08/2020 - 11:13pm Ok so I don’t really know Magnus but I can totally picture this scene. Awwwww 01/11/2020 - 5:05pm i wonder what hearthstone would think of grover???? also, i just can't stop wishing the series kept going, the ending was sweet. . . .but i want more butt-kicking-mythology-based-amazing-character-filled-adventures. you know?? 01/16/2020 - 12:21am |

Hello everyone! Welcome to 2020! I hope you all enjoyed The 57 Bus. Please share your thoughts about it here in the book club!Our next book is Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen. This is a great book about parental pressure, misconceptions and finding the people who matter in life. Sydney is struggling after her brother, the golden child is jailed. Sydney struggles to find her place in her world until she meets the Chathams who make her feel seen for the first time. For me, it was a feel good read about a imaginary world that is nice to hear about in the cold snowless winter we have going on. Enjoy! 01/01/2020 - 12:41pm |

I recently finished a series. It's historical fiction, but feels more liek fantasy. The first book is called And I Darken, then Now I RIse, and finally Bright We Burn. Really loved it! Anyone else a fan?
