https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o Based upon the book review you conducted on Tuesday, post a picture of the three (3) of the books you would like to read and a brief explanation why. As we progress through the class, this padlet will serve as a Class Book Review. en-us 2022-01-06 05:02:25 UTC 2025-10-20 17:49:48 UTC hello@padlet.com 12286611 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978620782 The first book I chose is called people we meet on vacation. It’s about two friends who used to go on vacation one week every summer. What interested me about this book is the small mystery of what happened between the two main characters. The summary mentioned that “they ruined everything” and hadn’t spoken for over 2 years. I also am not familiar with the author.]]> 2022-01-06 13:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978620782 12286611 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978629154 The second book I chose was you can go your own way. This story is about 2 teens who get trapped in an arcade during a snowstorm. What I liked about this summary is how the main character is adamant on not changing something his late father left behind. I also liked that both the main characters have gone through hard times which we might see them bonding over.I am not familiar with this author.]]> 2022-01-06 13:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978629154 12286611 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978637956 The last book I chose is called if I stay. It is about a girl who got into an accident. What I like about this is that is shows how she deals with this car accident that involved her family. It also talks about her love of music in the book. This book has been turned into a movie as well . I am not familiar with the author.]]> 2022-01-06 13:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1978637956 1221380 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979253660 This was my first pick, I choose this because I heard great things about it. I see it advertised everywhere even merchandise in stores. I have been wanting to read it just haven’t gotten around to it. I love how they art style looks. It’s very eye catching and interesting. It’s one of the reason why i wan to Read it. I like Greek mythology and got into it because of my sister. I am not much of a reader so graphic novels are a lot better for me personally. I am not familiar with the author. I am not sure if she had any other web comics available.

It's about two best friends as they get older trying to find a meaning in life and in the world. I chose this book because not only did it have great reviews but I thought that it would really interest me. It is a great concept of getting older and finding a meaning and purpose in life which is something that I think is a common issue. I thought that this topic throughout the book might have an impact on me.]]> 2022-01-06 18:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979258277 1221380 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979262499 This was my second choice, I never really realized until recently that I really like sci-fi. Though if I must be honest I only really watch sci-fi movies so I have yet to read a book in that genre. The story sounds thrilling and exciting. Not to mention the exciting level even that is mentioned in synopsis of the book. That sounds very interesting. I am somewhat familiar with the author having known his other book the Martian that was turned into a movie. Though I did not watch the movie.  ]]> 2022-01-06 18:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979262499 1227755 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979266907 The second book I chose is people we meet on vacation. It's about two lifelong best friends who decide to reunite and mend their relationship on another vacation. I thought that this would interest me because I really enjoy books with some romance in them. I find that books with plots related to this really hold my attention. Although I have never heard of this book I thought it would be good to try something completely new.]]> 2022-01-06 18:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979266907 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979267314 This book looks super interesting, it gives a story from a point of view that is very different from most books. I also really enjoy learning about history. This book is all about Afghanistan war, and it is part of history that I haven’t learned about in school. In the description of the book it also says it tells the story from a captains point of view. I think that that point of view is very interesting.]]> 2022-01-06 18:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979267314 12231352 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979268362 Broken (in the best possible way) is one of the first books I chose. It seemed interesting to me because it combined both mental health and comedy, and I haven’t read very many books that do something similar. I feel like reading someone else’s experiences would help me get a different perspective on my mental health. Comedy in general isn’t a genere I’ve tried much so I’m interested to see if I’d like it. Also I usually don’t go outside fantasy so it would be a nice slice of nonfiction that I hopefully wouldn’t find boring.]]> 2022-01-06 18:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979268362 1224950 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979272135 This was my first pick, I have already heard a lot about this book. The title of this book already caught my eye because of its simplicity. Most of my friends who read this book have really enjoyed it and recommend it to read. I also see lots of advertisements about this book. I usually read mystery books but this books genre is romance. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979272135 1221380 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979272472 This was my third option, I tend to lean towards the fantasy type books. I feel I am more able to visualize characters and scenes very well with these books. This also includes romance which seems to be a given for any fantastic book. This book specifically seemed interesting is because it’s in a war torn setting which I have yet to read a fantasy book within that setting. I am not familiar with the author although I did read that a Hulu series is in the works for this book. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979272472 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979276126 The cover of the book is what attracted me to it first, something about the cover reminded me of a tv-show called the Hand Maid's Tales, so I felt inclined to view it. I also really enjoy historical fiction books, so when I saw this book under that category I wanted to read it even more. Once I found out about the context of the book, which focuses on a Puritan woman trying to escape from her abusive husband, I was really intrigued as it seems as though it would be very powerful and emotional, everything I look for in a book.]]> 2022-01-06 18:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979276126 1227755 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979279755 My third choice was malibu rising. It's about four siblings who have their life changed because of one party. I picked this book because I really enjoy any historical fiction books and movies. I have also seen this advertised a lot of places and I always see it whenever I go into any book stores. I find that reading books and watching movies from a different time period can be a great change in pace for me. To me it seems like one of those books that I wouldn't want to put down because of the plot.]]> 2022-01-06 18:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979279755 12231352 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979282315 Lore Olympus is another book I chose, as I’m sort of familiar with it. I started reading it on Webtoon where it was originally launched a while ago but it’s been a while since I read it. I really like the art style because it’s very unique, as well as the overall color palette. I’m not surprised it was rated highly and I’ve heard good things about it. I’ve always been a fan of Greek mythology and different interpretations of it, having loved Percy Jackson as a kid. I’m interested to see how the formatting of the graphic novel differs from the online version.]]> 2022-01-06 18:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979282315 1224950 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979283621 This is my second pick because lots of my friends who have read this book have really enjoyed it. The title of this book also caught my eye because it says seven husband. Having Seven husbands in total seems like a lot. The genre is romance and historical fiction. I’ve also seems this book advertised too which also got my attention. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979283621 1226300 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979286141 I looked at this book and it seemed very interesting because of how large Amazon plays a part in our economy and world. I think that learning about Amazon could be very interesting. Also it would be cool to learn about how Jeff Bezos started the company. It would also be cool to learn about the processes that Amazon has. Also I like reading non fiction so that is another reason I chose this book. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979286141 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979286795 When it comes to books, I have a very low attention span, so normally I read Mystery & Thriller books as they tend to capture my attention right away and keep it. So seeing as though this book was under that genre it made me interested in reading it. Also, after reading the little context given, it talked about a dad going missing with his last words being to "protect her," only to leave me on a cliffhanger by bringing up the US Marshals being involved too. Leaving me on a clifhanger made me want to read even more as I wanted to know what happened next.]]> 2022-01-06 18:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979286795 1224545 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979288401 This book is a compilation of 4 of Stephen king’s shorter books. The book I chose the book called stand by me. This book is about 4 teenage boys who go on an adventure to see a real dead body. Along the way they encounter obstacles they have to overcome. It’s all about them having a good summer adventure with the boys.]]> 2022-01-06 18:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979288401 1224950 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979288763 This is my third book I chose because of the interesting title. This book has the same author as my first choose which is Colleen Hoover. I’ve read her books before and really enjoy them so I hope to also like this one. The genra of this book is romance. This book is also a New York Times best seller. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979288763 1224545 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292109 I’m choosing this book because this is a book all about the evolution of the game of football. It starts from when the game was first played and how it’s changed over time with new formations and rules to the game. This book I’ve had for a while but I never actually read it. This book is also interesting because it has interviews from coaches and players. Plus the cover has my favorite team the New England patriots.]]> 2022-01-06 18:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292109 1224545 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292316 I chose this book because it’s all about the greatest of all time Tom Brady. This has all the stats and what awards he won each season he’s been in the league. It also compares him to other quarterbacks from the past and also current qbs. It has some interviews from people he’s played with too. It also has his journey from high school to his college playing days and then into the nfl where he replaced the quarterback who was supposed to be the franchise player.]]> 2022-01-06 18:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292316 1222835 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292813 I chose this book because it was recommended on hood reads when I put other books I had read and the futuristic plot sounds very interesting and falls into the genre of books that i personally enjoy the most. The overall story sounds to be a thriller.]]> 2022-01-06 18:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979292813 1224095 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979293736 I chose this book because I finished the first book in the Dune series last semester. After I watched the movie I became very interested in the series and the book was available on Sora. I loved it and wanted to read more by Frank Herbert. This is the second book in the series and continues the story of the first book. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979293736 1222835 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979297340 Good omens is about the coming of the end of the world this along drew me in I’ve read books by Neil gaiman and his books are very good both the plot of the book and knowing the author both lead me to be very interested in reading this one.]]> 2022-01-06 18:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979297340 1224095 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979297441 I chose this book because I finished the first book in the Dune series last semester.

I like the idea of electric cars and also going to space. Also Elon Musk is a very interesting person and I think that learning about him would be cool. Also it is a biography which I find easier to read. Finally it would also let me see how Elon Musk runs his businesses.]]> 2022-01-06 18:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979297501 1228265 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979298128 The first book I chose is called the end of men. It really caught my eye because of the title. This book is about a mysterious virus that broke out in 2025 in which only seems to affect men. It breaks into a global pandemic and ends up shifting into a women’s world. This book really interests me because I want to know what would happen in a world full of only women, when men is something that some women think they need. I want to learn how do they overcome this and what exactly changed. I am also not familiar with the author.]]> 2022-01-06 18:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979298128 1224095 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979299136 I chose this book because I finished the first book in the Dune series last semester.

This book seemed to have a only a small amount of similarities compared to most fantasies. Fantasy/romances are my favorite genere and that’s why I was drawn so quickly to this one. There’s a twist where main characters are both female villains with a slow burn romance, so I’m really interested to see how that would turn out. It also includes monsters and wars, which just adds onto the combination of things that this book has that I already know I like reading about.]]> 2022-01-06 18:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979306592 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979310484 I was first attracted to this book because the cover was pretty, the girl looked really pretty and it looked like a nice book. However, the unexpected plot made me even more interested due to its exploration of slavery from the perspective of a woman.

The first thing that caught my eye was the title. Who told you what? What did he tell you? This book is about a lady who has a husband with a daughter that absolutely cannot stand her because of the fact she lost her mother tragically at a young age. One day the FBI shows up to their house unannounced and she quickly realized that her husband isn’t exactly who she thought he was. ]]> 2022-01-06 18:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979338686 1227605 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1979683140 This is the first book I chose because it seems interesting.

I realised the book that I'm currently reading that mentioned this book is by the same author aswell as a book I read in the past called Eleanor and Park which I very much enjoyed.]]> 2022-01-07 15:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1980757917 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1980965237 This is the second book I chose is its about 3 cousins who's parents were excluded from their wealthy grandmothers will, the cousins recived invitations to work over the summer at their grandmothers resort and each try to uncover the truth behind the disinheriting. I picked this book because I don't read mystery books but I have been intrigued by the genre. So I decided that this would be a good way to ease myself into mystery novels. This book also intrested me because one of the characters shares the same name of someone I know. I am not familiar with the author.]]> 2022-01-07 18:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1980965237 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1980983798 The third book I chose is A Spindle Splintered.

The book is about a mother and daughter trying to find out a secret. This books seems suspenseful, especially because it saids someone goes missing. And when that one person went missing, they left a note. I have a feeling if I read this book I wouldn’t wanna put it down because I’d wanna know what happens next after every read.]]> 2022-01-07 18:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1981004131 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1981007918 I chose this as my second book because I want to try something new. I’ve never been into romance books, so maybe I will end up liking it. It states that it’s about a girl who struggles between friendship and true love. It occurs when her and her bestfriend go on vacation. Maybe reading this book will encourage me to find true love while on vacation. ]]> 2022-01-07 18:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1981007918 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1981012446 I chose this as my third book because I’ve also never read a humor book.

I also own these books. I was told that it is a very good book and it would beneficial to actually finish it. The Mysterious Affair at Styles is my second choice because I already read it and I love Agatha Christie books. The last book is the Screwtape Letters. It is a very satirical and deep. Plus CS Lewis is SUCH a good author!!!]]> 2022-01-07 21:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1981210587 1220675 https://padlet.com/glenbardhighschooldistrict87/2hwctb9j80n6589o/wish/1985117674 The first book I chose is crying with H Mart.
