message 15: by Emily (new)

Emily Gutierrez | 14 comments I am reading "Breaking Dawn" by: Stephanie Meyer. This book is really good it's full of drama action and romance. This book is about a love triangle with a vampire, werewolf and a human (edward, jacob, bella). Bella decided to marry the vampire (edward) instead of the werewolf (jacob). Vampires and werewolfs dont get along so Bella and Jacob couldnt be friends anymore. Edward and Bella are expecting a baby girl and Bella will be turned into a vampire by her husband Edward.


message 16: by Christian (new)

Christian Tahji | 1 comments The book that I read was Goosebumps: The headless ghost by: R.L. Stine. This book was about two kids named Dwayne and Stephanie. The two kids were known as the neighborhood ghosts. They went to kids windows and threw spiders on their bed so when they wake up, they would scream. Also, Dwayne and Stephanie would go up to houses and make real life wolf howls and scare people. But Stephanie decided that they should start haunting the scariest house in the neighborhood, HILL HOUSE. But it turned out to be the biggest mistake of their lives.


message 17: by Whitney (new)

Whitney Gibson | 5 comments The book I have been reading was Sister Spirit by Thalia Kalkipsakis. This is another book from the Go Girl series. Her older sister cut her younger sister, Gemma's hair. she was jealous of everyone calling her cute and that when Gemma's bad, she is blamed for it. I don't think it's fair either, but I had to learn to live with it. Gemma thought that her older sister had a great idea for saying that she should cut her hair. After she did it, her sister got in a load of trouble. Now Gemma's hair had to be cut really short by the hairdresser.

Why couldn't Bella stay with the werewolf? I don't see anything wrong with that.

Katherine | 5 comments During the past week I have been reading "The Sister Switch" by Jane B. & Sarah Hines Stephens. This book is about two twin named Andie and Caitlin switching identities so her sister Caitlin can be able to get into the Jazz Ensemble, but they dont want their friends to know that they have switched because they had done this before and got caught,lied to their friends and after that their friends got mad at them for a while and had told them if they do this again they will really end their friendship for good. This book is really good because you dont know whats going to happen next it makes you read the book more and more until you finish it.


message 34: by Emily (new)

Emily Gutierrez | 14 comments I have been reading "Breaking Dawn" by: Stephanie Meyer. Whats going on in my book is that Bella is almost dead because she is pregnant with a half vampire half human baby. Jacob came to kill Edward for getting her pregnant and almost killing her Edward wants jacob to kill him if Bella dies (Jacob has no problem doing that). Edward wants to give everything Bella wants to her, she wants a baby and thats something she has in her already but since its killing her Edward doesnt want the baby in her. She wont let them take out the baby. Edward and Jacob have a plan that just might convince her into taking out the baby and that plan is to get Bella pregnant by Jacob so while she is pregnant she wouldnt suffer as much (the vampir baby is already stronger then her).

Emily Gutierrez | 14 comments I am reading the book "Breaking Dawn" by: Stephanie Meyer. I have fell in love with this book. I have came to a really crazy situation in the book. There is one situation that will probably end a really bloody ending. The werewolves are planning to kill all of the Cullens (the vampire family) including Bella but Jacob is completely against it. Since everyone knows that bella is really sick almost dead the werewolves (not including Jacob) think that they should juss kill her and the baby too. They all plan on going in groups to attack them but they want to make sure they do not get them all toghether in one place because they probably will lose so they are going to go in groups of 2 or 3s and attack them when they are alone or 2 vampires alone.

Terrence Faison | 6 comments Today I read a named "Payback" by Anne Largan. It's about a teenager named Tyray that losses his reputation. He's a school bully and everybody was afraid of him. Until he gets stood up by a bully victim and he losses his reputation. Now he has to find a way to get his revenge back but how?


message 47: by Terrence (new)

Terrence Faison | 6 comments (For Thursday) Today I read Payback by Anne Largan. It was about Tyray meeting a girl named Lark Collins. She wasn't the prettist girl but she is sincere. Tyray is going to use because she's the only person he can talk to. After what happened in the lunchroom, nobody didn't want to talk to him. Lastly, everybody keeps making fun of him even the bully victims.


message 48: by Emily (new)

Emily Gutierrez | 14 comments I am reading "Breaking Dawn" by: Stephanie Meyer. This book is really exciting you think something is going to happen when it doesn't and goes another way. The conflict in my story hasn't really changed. Jacob did back away from the pack because he knew he would never forgive himself if he killed Bella. He is actually planning on going to the Cullens and warning them so they can atleast know what's coming to them. Jacob won't be apart of it (as far as i know but he might change his mind).


message 49: by Emily (new)

Emily Gutierrez | 14 comments I am reading "Breaking Dawn" by: Stephanie Meyer. This book is really intense. There isnt much of a change in the conflct I havent read much of it but they are still planning on killing the Cullens.
