https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy Here are the books I've read in the 2016-17 School Year! en-us 2016-08-25 21:24:55 UTC 2025-11-13 02:38:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Pizza.png nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/119939480 The Anatomy of Curiosity was an intriguing book on the different approaches and journeys of three novelists. Each one writes a different story that shows how each of them approaches writing stories. On the pages they leave notes and comments to help others understand their techniques. I love this book because I love to write and it was an interesting reading a book written by, and yet in the perspective of the writers themselves.]]> 2016-08-25 21:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/119939480 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121214263 I chose this book as my historical fiction novel. I picked this book specifically because I was trying to go out of my comfort zone by reading about siturations that I am not so comfortable with. This ended up being a great choice for me because it helped me learn a lot as well as become more comfortable talking about things that I'm not comfortable with.]]> 2016-09-01 20:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121214263 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121214838 I started reading this book because this series was recommended to me by a close friend and I ended up loving this book. It was full of action, adventure, and mystery while also having a lot of realistic and relatable situations added into the book.]]> 2016-09-01 20:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121214838 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121215358 I decided to read the City of Ashes because I had previously read the first book in the series and enjoyed that one. This book was enjoyable because it was more dark and it really showed the depths of the pasts of the key characters in this book. It also had a lot of plot twists which just made the book that much more interesting.]]> 2016-09-01 20:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121215358 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121215829 I chose to read this book because earlier in the year I had read the first book in the series and fell in love with it. This book was more dark and gloomy but it still had an abstract appeal to it. It showed how much love can blind you from seeing who people really are.]]> 2016-09-01 20:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/121215829 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603341 The Alchemyst was an amazing book that was quite different from the themes of the books I had read. It seemed to be a mix between the Harry Potter Series and The Spiderwick Chronicles. It kept me on the edge of my seat as I guessed what would happen next as I read. I absolutely loved this book and the clear effort put into the plot of it. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603341 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603392 I chose to read Tricks because I have read other books by the same author and all of them were amazing. This book particularly was favourable do to the aspect of relatability presented in the book. It was about five different teens discovering who they were and who they wanted to be which I think is a common struggle for most teens. It was also filled with depth and the writing structure and style was incredible]]> 2016-11-15 02:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603392 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603441 I decided to read this book for my Social Studies book project because I had heard a lot of good things about it from my peers. It was an amazing book and it showed how the American Revolutionary war really affected families, not just the lives of the soldiers. Overall it was a great read and was highly informational while still telling a great story. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603441 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603561 The seeing stone is the second book in The Spiderwick Chronicles. I chose to read it because the first book was so interesting and these books have really helped me practice my visualisation skills.]]> 2016-11-15 02:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603561 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603599 Lucinda's Secret was the third book in the series which seemed to hold many answers to the question's asked in the previous books. ALthough this book was not as action packed, it was still well thought out and it helped the flow of the series as I read through it. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603599 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603633 The Ironwood Tree seemed to be more of a rising conflict themed book in the series. It seemed to end on more of a cliffhanger and there wasn't much resolution. Regardless I still enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait to read the next one. ]]> 2016-11-15 02:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603633 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603738 I chose to read this book because I have always loved the movies made off of the series but i thought that it would be better if I also read the books. This book was full of adventure and really showed that things aren't always as they seem. It takes the reader on an adventure with the siblings as they discover parts of their past but also what is unknown to most in their present. It is quite an adventure and I would absolutely recommend it to a peer.]]> 2016-11-15 03:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137603738 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137604036 I chose to read this book because I had never really read any graphic novels before and it seemed to be interesting. It was an odd twist on an almost dystopian society. It was sort of like the Red Queen in the aspect of someone being taken from their home and then being put into a higher power status. Although, this book was odd it proved to be a great story full of depth.]]> 2016-11-15 03:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137604036 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137604974 I chose to read this book for the simple fact that it was different. It was a peculiar take on the usual vampire book storyline. It was more relatable as well and showed that being a vampire wasn't always as good as people thought, especially for Doug, the main character. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137604974 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605028 I chose to read this book because when I was younger I really loved the movie. So when I found out that it was actually based off of a book i chose to read it. This book was a great read including many laughs but also relatable aspects regarding being a teenager and being a girl. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605028 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605581 This book shows the cliché college life for girls in a sorority while also showing how outside relationships can change when people actually go to college. It also showed how jealousy and trust really matter in a relationship and how both emotions can be easily altered by others. This book was definitely an interesting read but I would still recommend it to a peer. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605581 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605595 I chose to read this book because I thought the title was funny. I then went on to see the core of the book and how it showed how relationships between the genders and people in general can really differ. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605595 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605778 I chose to read this book because I was trying to find a book to help pass the time while waiting for another book. Although I did not choose to read it out of initial interest it was still a great read for me. It showed the surreal aspects of life that no one really understands unless experienced personally and it also showed how to overcome those things. It then went on to show how connections with people and relationships can change quickly. Overall this book was amazing and I'm glad I found it. ]]> 2016-11-15 03:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/137605778 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157487830 2017-03-02 21:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157487830 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157487963 2017-03-02 21:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157487963 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157488567 2017-03-02 21:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157488567 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489115 2017-03-02 21:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489115 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489396 2017-03-02 21:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489396 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489521 2017-03-02 21:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489521 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489575 2017-03-02 21:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489575 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489668 2017-03-02 21:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489668 nicolec2021 https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489934 2017-03-02 21:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolec2021/saucy/wish/157489934
