I can't wait to read Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The funny thing is, for Thanksgiving week, I have HOMEWORK!!!! :( One I have to do, and one is extra credit. I'm going to do them both. One we have to do is reading, extra credit, math. We have to do the TAKS practice in one sitting. In other words, we can only get up for a drink of water or a bathroom break. :(

All I known is that Twilight is about a girl called Bella and a vampire called Edward who fall in love. I also know that billions of people are obsessed with the book and the film. I must be the only girl in the universe who hasn't read Twilight and I love reading, but haven't found a good enough reason to read it...please give me 10 GOOD reasons to read this world-wide-best-seller...

I LOVE TWILIGHT!
if the whole reason why u dont like it is because you got bored when you tried reading it, start at chapter five: blood type, it gets exciting there.
(p.s.- im probably waaayyy too old to be commenting on this website, but i would advise you to skim through the beginning of breaking dawn before seriously reading it,and see if your ok with it, especially if youre under...i dont know, 10?- thnx.)

I feel the same way about Twilight. I just don't want to read it. It isn't really realistic. Actually, I might just be scared I'll become SUPER OBSESSED(capitals needed). It snowed here a while ago, and my friend told me she saw a snow-vampire!! There are also so many Twilight accessories all over my school!! Necklaces, sweatshirts, shirts, bags, bracelets, rings.... Plus, one day, I made a small(small!) joke aout Edward and a girl wouldn't talk to me until the next day! She also told me that her dad was a cop...

To vanillapal27,
I think I am just a 'LITTLE' bit old for this site too, but I actually go to the site to read the book reviews :)
True Blue said:
One of the reasons I am NOT reading Twilight is because I am scared that I won't like it. People at my school don't exactly react good if you say you didn't like Twilight. You either get the pitiful look, the shaking of the head and the walking away OR you get the big scream in the face, "HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE TWILIGHT!!!" as they shake you back an forth.
spock9 said:
I love twilight!!!!! True Blue, I thought it would be boring, but it was amazing!! It is one of the best series I have ever read!! YOu should definitley try it. While you're reading it, you can try the recipe for hot chocolate I posted under the Playful Chep Cookbook.
spock9 said:
I have HOMEWORK on WINTER BREAK!!! This stinks. :P
Crocks04 said:
Good thing I'm homeschooled!
Hattie said:
I recently had my last day of school and right now am reading a VERY good book. It is NOT 'Looking For Alibrandi' (which I desperatley want to read) , it's 'The Tomorrow Code'. It is a REALLY GOOD BOOK!!!
Crocks04 said:
I HATE TWILIGHT
spock9 said:
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! ( I mean read! ) ;)
said:
I want Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata. Touchinggg!! :))
Hattie said:
READ THE TOMORROW CODE!!! I wouldn't recommend it for people who are under the age of 11, but if you are over that age, please read the book!
P.S.
It is a book for girls AND boys

I like reading the encyclopedia!

I really want my older sis to let me read the twilight series!!! she won't let me, and basically, what she says goes! Hey, Cookie: I like reading the dictionary! Especially the OED, but not for too long cuz then my head hurts.
siris said:
Hello everyone !!
True Blue you are not the only person that hates twilight I borrowed it and I think that Stephanie Meyer is TOO descriptive (sometimes I skipped paragraphs on end because it was just descriptions) at my school I think i'm the only one that HATES Twilight. why you shouldn't read thilight
1 it's too descriptive
2 some things don't make sense
3 Way before the end you get bored
4 there are so many other good books
5 it is highly adicctive
6 if you read the book you'll want to see the movie
7 if you see the movie youll end up screaming: how hot is Robert Pattinson!!!!!
Hattie said:
I have to agree with Siris with comment number 7. Just today my hairdresser is like; "And I really want to see the twilight movie again. And the Edward character I thought was a bit pale at first but as the movie went on he began to look really good. I think he is REALLY good looking, don't you?". And I was like "Uh, yeah, sure..."
spock9 said:
I love Twilight!!!!! I love vampires and werewolves! How can you not like twilight, Crocks04? It's a good thing you're also homeschooled. I used to be for kindergarten. I started school in first grade. Try my hot chocolate!
Crocks04 said:
Well I've never read twilight sooo that might be the reason or maybe the reason is Im a boy? lol
said:
I got The Tales Of Bettle The Bard By J.K Rowling for christmas, and that was at the top of my list! My brother got The Tale Of Despereaux and loves it so much, I was so jealous!
puppers said:
I love to read.:)
I like reading chapter books because you basically are in the book if you really like the book.
siris said:
Crocks04 I had NO idea you were a guy, so your hating twilight is TOTALLY and ABSOLUTLY justified! Hattie I dont know but personally I think Edward is too square jawed (I think i didnt spell that write but anyway) and he is just not that hot. A movie that is DEFINITLY worthwhile is Inkheart. I may sound like a freak but Inkheart is a TRUE bestseller. The last book of the trilogy Inkdeath is SO cool. I highly recommend it, though it ends kinda sad.

I read twilight and LOVED it. I need New Moon tho, but I have a Borders gift card I can buy it with.
spock9 said:
Citrusgirl, the 4th Twilight book is my favorite. To everyone who LOVED Twilight, there's a book I found at Walmart for $9 called Ever More or Evermore. I can't tell. Anyway, it's sorta like Twilight. I read it over the weekend and I loved it!!!! It's full of mystery and suspense. Bye, bloggers!
dolphinswimmer12 said:
I TOTALLY agree with siris adout inkheart. I havent read twilght but i saw the movie. My grandma watched it too lol She didnt like it. I DID!!!
Emma said:
I would like the rest of the Bella Sara series (really cards, but there are also books)and 'Justin Morgan had a Horse' or 'King of the Wind'.
Resa said:
There are too many goood books out there. I know this sounds crazy but I think my school librarian HATES me just because I read all the "adult novels" like you have tohave a signed note to read "The boy in the Striped Pyjamas" (that book is sooo good). I think it's kind of funny how in the frount cover it says that even though Bruno is nine this book is not for nine year olds (I am nine). I LOVE inkheart. I read the first chapter of twilght it was OK maybe I'll find some time to read it. Right now I'm reading the Secert Life of bees, it is soo good if you haven't read it you MUST!!
i cant wait to see the boy in the striped pyjamas and the secret life of bees. The movie inkheart is so good!
Happy Reading Bye! :)
