Dear Ms Bird

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS BIRRRDDDDDDD!!!! WOOOOOOOOH! ☺

I just started reading Scar Tissue, its an autobiography about Tony (Anthony) Kiedis, the lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's his life, a story about women, drugs, music, and the hardships of life. His childhood is already fascinating, and I can't seem to put it down (even though I have a million tests to study for). I definitely recommend reading it, and I'm not even a quarter of the way through.

The Mud Pony

This is a timeless childhood classic that was one of my favorite books as a kid and I still enjoy till this day. It is a great symbol of joy in life and can turn your dark mood to a happy one in no time.

Please comment if you have read this amazing book, I would love to connect with all whom may of had the privilege of reading this book.

Twelve Angry Men

Twelve Angry Men is a great story that engages the reader into the story. I was forced to draw conclusions about the book, and at the end, felt like I was a thirteenth juror in this novel. Great Read.

Definitely not shallow and pedantic...

My Favorite Book: The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden (5 stars) written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is about a newly orphaned girl, Mary Lennox, going to live in a faraway mansion with her long lost uncle. The mansion is full of secrets, filled with rooms with strange things, unknown people, and of course, a Secret Garden. When Mary discovers the Secret Garden, she starts tending it, which changes her usually sour personality into a more pleasant one. Along the way, Mary makes new friends and changes her life. It was interesting to read about how secretive some people can really be, and what lengths they go to to keep their secrets safe.

Favorite Book

One of my new favorite books is Water For Elephants it's a pretty quick read and has a really different kind of plot about a guy who joins the circus during the Depression and his experiences there. It's told from different points of time though because it flashes back to him in a retirement home present day and him as a guy just out of college who joining the circus.

All Quiet in the Western Front is a great but gruesome read. The novel shows the views of the soldiers and what they must go through during war to survive in hopes of seeing their loved ones once again.

Favorite book

My favorite book!

Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect

This golf psychology book gave me a great new perspective on the game of golf. It encourages golfers to train the mind, and not simply the swing or putting stroke. This book helped me with the mental side of golf and taught me many valuable lessons.

This is a great book that I read this summer. It is hard to put down and very different. It is a historical mystery.

Possum Magic! Its magical! (No pun intended?)

This childhood fantasy tale inspired me to wonder about the nature of lamingtons, and their role is australian life. Sadly, while brilliant, I learnt that these cakes couldn't actually turn marsupials invisible. Oh well, the images are brilliant and vibrant and the story line is touching as any fairy-tale story..

The Secret Life of Bees

I just started reading The Secret Life of Bees. The movie was really good and has now inspired me to read the book. Has anyone read it? I am interested to see the differences in the book and movie, and to see which one I like more.

Book Review

I am currently reading The Book of General Ignorance. Now that I am reading it, I am so much more intelligent. If you want to learn more about the world, you should read this.

Great Book

This is a great book. Every should read it!!!!

Reviews/Should I read it...

Has anyone heard/read any reviews on this book? I've seen the movie and liked it and want to read the book. Tell me if I should....

Has anyone read this book? I just started and like it so far, but what do y'all think?

A Piece Of Cake

I love this book! It's VERY intense the whole way through but it is amazing. Cupcake's world is so different from mine, so I liked being able to indirectly experience her hardships through her writing. I also learned a lot about addiction and its effects by reading this, and especially about the illusions addicts sometimes live in.

I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It's a classic about first impressions. Even though I am not done with it, I recommend every girl to read this book.

My Favorite book is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. This is a great read and will keep you guessing throughout the book.

All We Know of Heaven

I have just finished reading All We know of Heaven by Jacquelyn Mitchard which is based on two teenage girls, Maureen and Bridget, who got into a terrible car accident which sent both of them to the hospital. At the hospital, the girl's identities were confused and when one of the girls dies, friends, family, and doctors believe it was Maureen who died and that Bridget is still in a coma. It isn't until "Bridget" wakes up from her coma that they find out that it is actually Maureen and the real Bridget is the one that passed away. The novel is based on Maureen's recovery and her struggles of being the friend who survived the accident. This novel will take you through an emotional roller coaster of happiness and anger, but it is a great and easy read for many! :)

My All-Time Favorite

What's your all-time favorite book??? From 10 months to 100 years old, what do you think will be the book you will never forget????? (Mine is: Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss. I read it once every couple of years or so)

13 Reasons Why

A book I read this summer was "13 Reason Why". I LOVED IT. It was very suspensful, and I really liked it. This book was about a girl who commits suicide, and before killing herself makes 13 tapes. These 13 tapes say why she decided to kill herself. She sends these 13 tapes to 13 different places/people to let them know how she felt about them, or why she decided to send the tape to them, and why she killed herself. 5 STARS. :)

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows

As of right now i am reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I am not very far into this book (like chapter 6) , but it is so good. When you start reading the book it is impossible to put down. If you like books like harry potter THEN READ THIS

Napoleon's Wife

I am currently reading "Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe," a novel based on the incredible life of Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, Josephine B. Highly recommended for history lovers!

CHANGE OF HEART

I am currently reading Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. This book is amazing!!!!!! I highly recommend it to any and everyone especially those of you who love a good tear jerker or mystery. The mystery is if the main character , Shay Bourne, is really the new messiah or is he just another murderer on death row bargaining for his life. It will keep you guessing. This is NOT a murder mystery book and it is more on the feminine side.

Wintergirls

The book I am currently reading is "Wintergirls" by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is centered on a teenager who is suffering from anorexia and is coping with the death of her best friend. It is told through the eyes of Lia, the suffering teenage girl, and takes us through her personal thoughts. I am not done with the book, but I do think that this is a really good book. If you have read "Speak" by the same author you will definitely enjoy this book.

Follow the Roar Sam Boyd

I just read Follow the Roar by Bob Smiley, and it was just a great book. It had so many facts and interesting stories. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who was interesting in reading it.

Hello

Ms. BIRDS ENGLISH CLASS IS THE BEST!

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

This book is about a married couple. The wife is pregnant and she goes into labor at the beginning of the book. She ends up having twins, a boy and a girl. The boy is completely healthy and normal but the girl has retardation issues. The father is a doctor and he’s seen so many children die because of being mentally retarded and having heart problems so he decides to not keep the baby girl and to send her to a home but he doesn’t tell his wife. He gets one of the nurses to take her to a home but the nurse ends up raising the girl. She never tells the father that she didn’t take Phoebe, the little girl, to a home.

This book is very dramatic so if you’re someone that doesn’t like drama, I wouldn’t recommend this book. It really is touching and the author does a great job of making you feel like you’re a part of the family’s life.

The Finest hours

This book is about the coast guard and their most daring sea rescue of the coast of cape cod as they attempt to rescue the crews of two tankers in the middle of a snow storm. The coast guard executes daring maneuver after maneuver in an attempt to rescue the seamen before the ships break apart.

The DIary of a Wimpy Kid

This is a funny story over the life of a kid that is just beginning middle school. He describes funny stories in and out of school. The stories range from his ideas to get noticed more in school to to his older brother bothering him at home. This is a good book for any one to reed and weather it be for a class or just for something entertaining to reed.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a classic tale of a boy who finds out his dad is an important Nazi general. Its a great read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. If i had to rate this book i would give it an 8 out of ten.

Ender's Game

Ender's Game is about a futuristic Earth that is under attack by an unknown alien race. The military that is in charge of the fight vs. the aliens are looking for an able commander to lead the human fleet against the aliens' home world. They choose a boy named Ender, and send him off to a school in space where he receives all sorts of training about what he will need to save the human race. I really enjoyed this book and would give it a 8 out of 10.

The Truth About Forever

I am reading The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. It is about a girl, Macy, who is spending a dull summer at home. Her boyfriend went to "Brain Camp", and she is left working in the library. She experiences some unexpected events which leads to her coming out of her shell. It is a couple hundred pages long, but is a fairly quick read! I am not far into it, but I am enjoying it!

Unelmien NBA

I read book name Unelmien NBA (Dreams NBA). It tells about NBA basic and players who had been there. Writer is one finnish player brother who's name is Matias Möttölä. I liked the book because I play basketball and NBA is the leading league in the world. I would recommended it basketball players and peoples who are interested about basketball, but I think so that they have only Finnish version :D

The Importance of being Earnest

The Importance of being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a short and sweet satisfying read. It is about two men, Jack and Algernon, pursuing women, Gwendolen and Cecily, who both think that they are in love with men named Earnest. The story is full of romance and comedy, and it has a wonderful conclusion. I would recommend it to anyone interested in reading plays, or who are just looking for a funny, endearing story.

Eat Pray Love

Eat Pray Love was a good book; it was interesting and made me think but i didn't enjoy it as much as i expected to. I didn't feel like i could relate to it as much as an older woman could. In some ways i could relate, like my desire to go on spontaneous trips and find understanding through yoga and things completely unfamiliar, but I didn't fall in love with the book.

Cake Wrecks

This book is hilarious so far, I often find myself laughing to my self. I recommend this book to all the visual learners out there who sometimes find it hard to read just plain ole text. Although it lacks a true story line the 200 pages go by as you enjoy every "cake gone wrong".

The Cat in the Hat

this book is about two little kids who are bored in their house all alone. Ten a cat comes over and shows them how to have fun, but just makes a big mess. Then he has to help them clean the house before the kids mom comes home. Great read, but a little long.

The Perfect Storm is true story of the crew lost at sea on the Andrea Gail. The book shows readers the hardships of being a sword fisherman and the extreme dangers these men must deal with in order to make a profit.

Luxe

The book Luxe is about wealthy high-class life in Manhattan during the 19th century. The women and men are expected to marry not out of love, but out of the social status of the other. This book shows a lot of different points of view. It tells the story of many different characters. So far I have enjoyed reading it, and I recommend it to those who love drama and romance.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a page turner. It is a thriller/mystery with surprising and unexpected turns. It was written by Swedish author, Steig Larsson and is now a best seller. The book is filled with interesting characters like feminist icon, Lisbeth Salander, and detective, Blomkvist. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down.

The Road of the Dead

this book is about two brothers who travel to find out who killed their sister. through their journey, you see parts of their life stories. the younger brother has a supernatural power in a way. he can feel and see things in other peoples' minds. it is a very interesting storyline. it has a mixture of mystery, battles, supernatural feelings and darkness. there are some times when it gets out of control, but it is a very interesting book to read.

Memoirs of a boy soldier

Memoirs of a Boy soldier is a great book about a young boy trapped in the midst of a war in africa. He becomes a boy soldier and is sucked into the world of war. He must be put through rehabilitation in order to survive, and he eventually gets back to normal. He travels to america to tell his story. This is a heartwarming story!!!

Pretty Little Liars

Who doesn't love a thriller (movie), but a thrilling book is so much better than the movie. Well the Pretty Little Liars Series is a book series about a girl named Ali who grew up in Rosewood Day a neighborhood for the affluent and wealthy, but she sneaks out the house where she and her friends are having a sleepover, and she is never seen again. Her friends are haunted by the thought of what could have happened to her because she was loved by everyone and hated just as much. When her body is found by a pair of construction workers, "A" starts taunting Ali's best friends with their dirty little secrets. Ali is the only person that new each one of their secrets, but if she is dead then who is threatening to expose their dirty little secrets?

Vanishing Acts

Vanishing Acts is a pretty good book, if you've read My Sister's Keeper it's a lot like that. It's written by the same author, Jodi Picoult, and it's written the same way. Each chapter is from a different characters perspective on what the main conflict is. This book is about a girl who's father takes her from her mother because she is an alcoholic and twenty-four years later he is arrested for kidnapping her. It requires the reader to ask ethical questions about the situation and whether or not it was right for him to kidnap her. At the same time all of this is going on you hear the stories of each person that are having problems of their own. Vanishing Acts is a little bit more intense and lengthier so I wouldn't really suggest it for a quick read.

The Notebook

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks (5 stars) - This book is about the unchanging love of Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton from the early teenage years, to their lives as withered old people in a nursing home. The Notebook is the actual book that follows their lives and and tells their extraordinary tale of how love never dies. It flashes back to life in the 1950's to the present; therefore providing the reader with an exquisite taste of social hierarchy, war, and of course: love.

American Psycho

This book was soooo weird and disturbing. If you don't like violence and gore this book is not for you. It is about a man named Patrick Bateman. He works on wall street and is very rich, but is a nutcase and kills women and men who he finds annoying. The book has a few twists and I liked it.

Choice Read

I read Son of The Mob, a book about a boy, Vince Luca, whose father is the head of a powerful crime organization. He is the most feared and respected Mob King, making Vince a powerful Mob Prince. After his father's job messes with everything in his life, Vince has finally met the girl of his dreams, and he isn't going to let his fathers job ruin his new relationship. But as it turns out, her father is the FBI agent who's been trying to put Vince's father in jail for a decade! The book is a humorous take on forbidden love. 5 stars.

HOLES

Holes is a great book about a boy who gets in trouble for "stealing shoes". He is either sent to jail or sent to a "camp". The boy, Stanley, of course chooses to go to the camp, Camp Greenlake. The things they do at this camp is dig holes all day everyday, the "campers" have no idea what they are digging for, but in the end Stanley seems to know what is trying to be found. ;)

Eat, Pray, Love

This book is about a lost woman who goes to different foreign places in order to find herself. It was a very boring and slow read... not suggested :o

The Help Helps Me

I just finished reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. This book is the first by this author and offered an exceptional example of unique voicing and style. The book follows three female characters, one white and two black, through the civil rights struggle of the 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. The silent but cruel ammunition of the wealthy white women keeps the black women from becoming successful, affluent working women. Because this story is told in three different voices, this reader became attached to the three women who fight against racial injustice in the South. Pick this book up today and find out the exact ingredient the confident Miss Minnie put in the pie she gave the evil Miss Hilly.
