Eleven Before Twelve

categories: 6th grade

Have you ever read Eleven Before Twelve by Lisa Greenwald? If you haven’t I recommend you go to your library or order it online right now! This book is about two girls Kalyan and Arianna who are just about to start middle school. A few days before they start school they make a list of things to do before the turn twelve. Oh wait, I forgot to tell you they turn twelve in November. Now this is a short period of time and lets just say this list is hard! After they get up and going on the list something happens and it makes this list 2x harder. If this book seems like your jam, I recommend ordering it right now!

Books!

categories: 6th grade

I am a reader. I like to read because it is a great distraction from the stressful things in life. It is also an alternative to TV. Instead of spending hours watching shows or movies. I like to read. I know others read because of school but I love to read either way. For me the best feeling is when it is a cold winter day and I am curled up by the fireplace reading.

My favorite genres are usually romance, fiction, and comedy. I love reading other books too but, whenever I think about what genre book I should get I always think about those three. What types of books do you like to read? Nonfiction? Horror? Mystery?

Right now I am reading Always and Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han! This book is the third book in the series. When I tell you I love this book I mean it! I love reading books by Jenny Han because I always want to keep reading them. Also most of the books I have read by her have shows or movies about the book. These shows and movies help me dig deeper into the books and help me understand the book better. If you think you would be interested in this book keep in mind it is ages 12 and up and it can get a little inappropriate at times.

Do you have a favorite author? I love reading but I can never pick one. Right now Jenny Han, Kiera Cass, and Lauren Myracle are my favorites. I think the hardest thing about reading for me is picking the book. What I like to do is pick an author and try to read all the books that the author has written. Right now the author I am focusing on is Jenny Han! 

I love reading but it can be hard at times. I think reading is a way of learning new things. I am interested in many different genres of books. Some books I just can’t connect to so I put them down. So if you have any good books you have read please tell me!

Window or Mirror?

categories: 6th grade

About three weeks ago I finished The Selection by Kiera Cass! This book is about a girl who is chosen with some other girls to spend a few years with the prince. These girls are fighting for the crown. In this book there are casts going from the richest(1) to poorest(8). Which is a big part of how you were selected. I really enjoyed this book because it was intense at times but it also made me want to keep reading. This book for me is definitely a window book because I can not relate to myself in any way. It doesn’t relate to me because I have never gone to a palace where I am fighting for the spot as the queen. Also in this book they have casts and in the world today there are no labels for are you poor or not in fact know one really knows the amount of money you have. I think that this book helped me realize that I like window books more than mirror books. This book makes me realize that I like reading more things that don’t relate to me. On some occasions though I don’t know that it is a mirror book and I end up liking the book! If you are looking for a new book to read I would definitely recommend The Selection!
