I am looking forward to finishing up a series by Helen Hopkins. The books she writes are all in poetry form (so each page would be a poem) but the poems all relate to the same story. When I saw that the book was written in all poetry, I thought that I wouldn’t like it, but I was wrong- these are my favorite books! The series includes Burned, Crank, Glass, and Impulse. These are really good books because they relate to real life situations. I would suggest these books to mostly girls because they are written in a girl’s point of view. I can’t wait to finish off the series! (:

This summer I am looking forward to reading a poetry book by Sonya Sones. I have read two of her books and have fallen in love with them, meaning that I stayed up late into the night reading them. For my friends [that are girls] I would reccomend The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen because it is kind of like a real story in a sense that it could happen in real life to one of us. The book is about boys, summer jobs, living with a dead parent, and moving on which are all things that girls every where must think about and sometimes overcome.

ThegreatThis summer I am looking forward to finishing the the twilight series. I recomend it because it's a little bit of a mystery/romance. It keeps me reading with the somewhat action it has in it.

I agree with Kelly. I am very excited and looking forward to reading 'Twilight' this summer. I have heard from numerous people that it is such a great book! Hopefully, I will enjoy it as much as other people do! One book taht I would recommend to other people (girls) is 'Fake Boyfriend' by Kate Brian. It is a light and easy read book that I find very humorous!

I am looking foward to reading The Ranger's Apprentace series. I heard a lot about it from my friends and it sounds really good. A book I would reccomend for the summer is The Cirque Du Freak series. It is a great book for anyone if they are willing to get into a good series.

Kelly and Steph, you are going to LOVE TWILIGHT and I absolutly recomend it to anyone else looking for summer reading. This summer, I am thinking about reading the CRANK books and finishing up the TWILIGHT series with her new book that I believe is coming out soon. If anyone has anymore sugestions, I am open to reading pretty much anything!

I am really looking forward to reading "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer. It is coming out August 2, which is way too far away. Twilight. New Moon, and Eclipse are my favorite books in the world, and they come before Breaking Dawn. If you also enjoyed these books, you should definitely read Breaking Dawn.

The book or books that I am looking forward to reading this summer are the CLique: Summer Colection books by Lisi Harrison. They are extended off of the series and are just on one character and what they did the summer before "Bratfest at Tiffanys." Massie's, Claire's and I think Dylan's is out already. I can't wait!!

This summer I am very excited to finish the Harry Potter series. I read up to the 3rd book and lost interest towards the end. I did finish the book but I never really wanted to finish the series. Now that I have learned more about the author and the book I am interested in finishing the books. I have heard that the books are better then the movies and I agree to a cretin point because I like imagining what the characters look like and what the places look like, but I also like to see other peoples perspectives. Even though that I am still extremely thrilled to read the books but, I am waiting for the summer to come to read them.

One book I am really looking forward to reading is The Last Apprentice, Wrath of the Blood Eye. It is really hard to stop reading the series once you have started. They are action packed.

This summer I am looking forward to reading more of the Alex Rider Series. I really like this series and want to finnish all of the books. I would recomend others to read this series and A Series of Unfortunate Events. I think they are both great series, although Alex Rider might be more exciting to boys.

lauren said...

This summer I am also looking forward to reading Twilight. I don't exactly know what it is about but many of my friends have read the book (and the series) and have recommended it to me. I would recommend the series called Cirque Du Freak. I would recommend this because this series is very suspenceful and is mysterious. At first I didn't think I would like the series but after reading the first book I fell in love it and I am now on my 7th book!

Well, I am looking forward to reading "The Battle of the Labyrinth", the next book in the Percy Jackson series. That comes out the end of this month, but by the time I get it at a good price, it should be summer. Anyways, I got into the series around the third book, so I kind of went into withdrawal when I didn't have another one waiting for me when I finished "The Titan's Curse", so I'm looking forward to that.

I think I'm going to read the book called Heat because it looks like a teenager just like us that wants to be the greatest baseball player and that inspires me because hes trying his best and we should try our best too if we want to do something.

I am looking forward to reading the sequels to Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon this summer. I want to read them because I read Twilight and I really liked it.
A book that I would recommend is Here Today by Anne M. Martin. This book is about how a girl named Ellie who has to take care of her little sister, little brother, and father even though she has enough problems to deal with at school. At the end of the book Ellie overcomes her problems and learns how to deal with them

A book I am looking foward to reading this summer is Crank. Many people have said that its a really good book and keeps the reader wanting more. A book i recomend to reading over the summer is the final book in the Maximum Ride series. THe Final Warning is a really intersting book and once you start, you never want to put it down.

i have already read one of the summer reading books "al capone does my shirts" i would recomend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction or mystery/adventure books. it takes place on alcatraz and is about a boy who is living there with his father, an electrican for alcatraz

Unknown said...

This summer I am looking forward to reading the Lord Loss series by Darren Shan because I read the Cirque Du Freak series by him and they were the best books in the world other than the Harry Potter series. Also I heard that they are about vampires like in the Cirque Du Freak series and I really like to read fantasies about mystical creatures.

I am looking forward to redaing The Boyfriend List this summer. I am going to read it because Kelly said it is amazing and a few of my friends have read it and said it is really good, so I am going to take their word for it. I would recommend The Clique series because it relates to conflicts middle schoolers have.

A book that I know I will read is Where I'd Like to Be. I have read it before and it's a great book and it's easy to understand. There are mnay more that I would love to read too, but Where I'd Like to Be is the first one that I would recommend to read. The second book that I would like to read would probably be Twilight and the other books that go along with it, because it seems so interesting to read and a lot of people that series.

This summer I am looking forward to reading "My Sister's Keeper". My mother read that book and said it was one of her favorite novels. She recommended me reading it since I enjoy reading so much. The novel may be challenging for me at some parts but I'm sure I'll be able to finish it.

I am really looking forward to reading, the third Natasha Friend book called Bounce. I like reading these books because I never get bored with them. I'm also maybe looking forward to reading Twilight. Many people say that is an ammmmmaaaaaaaazzzzzinnnngggg book! A book that I've read that would be good for others to read is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. IT'S GREEEATTTTT. Some stories in it are really boring but others are so good that I didn't want to put the book down!

I am looking foward to reading more books by Sarah Dessen.I have already read a few and my friends have been reccomending them to me. Plus Sarah Dessen is just a really great author. I'd probably recommend The Truth About Forever, Just Listen, and Keeping the Moon [[by Sarah Dessen]] because they were really good.

This summer I am looking forward to reading "Breaking Dawn" by Stephanie Meyer. Its the final book in the Twilight series. I Can't wait to see what happens between Edward and Bella, and what character conflicts they are going to go through! I think Stephanie Meyer is a great author, and anyone looking for a book to read should read the Twilight series!

One book I'm looking forward to is Flight of the old dog by Dale Brown. My dad and brother said it is a really good book and is something I’d like. One book I recommend this summer is Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon. This book is about a world that is plunged into a nuclear winter after a nuclear bomb is dropped in the United States. This book is good if you like post-apocalyptic fiction.

I am looking foward to the Last Aprentice series over the summer. They are fantastic books, and so far I've read the first and the second. They are somewhat scary,but what I like most is that when you think the best part is over; there are better parts to come in the book. I personaly recomened it to everyone, mainly guys though. It is somewhat scary and discusting, its like Harry Potter but more gruesome and scarier.

I am looking forward to finishing up the Eye of the World series. Its full of things that really make you think. I would recommend the Olypians series it is full of adventure and is great for boys who like action.

Summer reading can be fun if you have a have the right book to read. There are a lot out there and you just have to find it. One book that I would recommend reading if you are a horse lover is "Firehorse." It is a historical fiction book and is about a firehorse. Back in the early 1900's they didn't have fire trucks like we do now, the engines were pulled by horses. This book is about the only female horse in her team, and how she gets badly burned when a piece of inflamed timber falls on her back. It is about a girl who finds her and helps her recover. Anyways I think this is a good book. It is in the media center and the library.

I am looking forward to reading Breaking Dawn this summer. It is the newest book in the Twilight series and is coming out on August 2. These books are very capturing and once you pick them up you can't put them down. Also, in the end of the last book the author left us with a cliff-hanger so I know that everyone who read the last book, Eclipse, is just waiting to see what happens next!

I'm looking forward to reading some of the nutmeg books. I'm also looking forward to the new book in the Twilight series Breaking Dawn. I recommend reading Elsewhere and The Host (A new series by Stephanie Meyer the author of Twilight).

I am interested in reading the seconed book to the son of the mob. A friend told me about the series and I think I am hooked on them.

This summer i am looking forward to reading the Gun Slinger by Stephen King. I had bout in over the break and have been wanting to read it but i had to read certian genres. I would recomend Stephen King books because he describes things really well and writes good stories.

I am looking foward to reading the last book of the Twilight series Eclipes by Stephanie Meyer. I first started reading this book because so many people were recomending it to me. Even though the books are very very very long you will deffenitly zoom right by them. I would recomend these books to mostly girls who love action, drama, love, and most importantly vampires!

I am looking forward to finish up the Artemis Fowl series and The Battle of the Labrynth this summer. I would reccomend both of those series to those who haven't read them (Artemis Fowl geared more to the boys)
