I am a part of everything I have read. -John Kieran


Here is a post to discuss the book(s) we are reading over Mid-Winter Recess. Give a little teaser without giving too much of the story away. Do you recommend the book and why? What themes are being explored? Is there are a particular passage that you love (for whatever reason) and want to share? Have a restful vacation and happy reading!

Hey everyone. Ok, so I am heading to the beach over this vacation and I am bringing with me 2 young adult novels: A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. A few reliable and literary friends of mine (including our librarian, Ms. Tartaglione) recommend these books very highly. I will let you know how they are.

Enjoy your reading! I can't wait to read your comments about your books :)

I kind of find it hard to believe that instead of watchin hot cabana boys, Ms. Levine is reading not one but two books, but okay.....

The book I chose to read over the vacation is Boy Toy by Barry Lyga. Its about a boy named Josh who's about to graduate from high school but his past is beginning to catch up with him. So far the book is awesome and I can't wait to finish it.

Have fun with your 'books' Ms. Levine :-)

MY BOOK IS CALLED "LIFE IN THE FAT LANE." ITS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE STRUGGLE OF BEING TEASED BECAUSE THEIR OVER WEIGHT ALL THE TIME. EVERYONE HAS FEELINGS FAT,SKINNY,SHORT, OR TALL. WE SHOULDNT BE JUDGED BASED ON HOW WE LOOK. MY BOOK DISCUSSES HOW A BEAUTY PAGEANT WINNER GETS FAT BECAUSE SHE HAS A METABOLIC DISORDER, AND THEIR IS NO CURE FOR IT. HER BOYFRIEND LEAVES HER AND HER FRIENDS DITCH HER BECAUSE SHES NOT A SIZE 2 ANYMORE. HER FEATURES RUIN HER LIFE AND SHE JUST WANTS TO BE SKINNY AGAIN.

Theres one thing in life
You should try hard not to do
Try not to fall in love even
if you think its true.

cause in case you havent experience
it,it starts off so great .
and then two weeks later ,
you think their your soulmate.

i know its not your fault
its a trick of the mind
you think your in love
and you found the one you
were suppose to find

but let me tell you this
after a little while
you start to wake-up
and you lose that happy smile

then everything starts going wrong and you end up getting hurt

the simple yet complex reason is
you thought you were in love
when you werent

your whole life is worthless
cause you made that boy your world.
and now you pay the consequence,for being a stupid little girl.

i know how it feels
because now MY whole life is
dim
all because i fell in love
all because i fell in love with
him
