she just wants to go to Disneyland and he says no so she tries to have the best fun that she can. I like this book and I would recommend it to a friend because this book isn't too long and it doesn't have that much text and mostly pictures. This book is like a long comic. My goal for this weekend is to read at least 50 pages everyday. This will happen when I am not busy and I have nothing to do.

The book and the series is about a girl, named Rowan, who is considered an illegal second child in a virtual "paradise" called Eden. Second children are illegal because in Rowan's generation, Earth is dead and in Eden the population "needs to be controlled". Soon, her curiosity gets the best of her and she decides, one day, to escape her "prison" (her home because she  isn't allowed to leave the premises of her house) and goes out to explore Eden. This one action takes her on a journey to discover a new world and decipher reality from illusions. This book is very intriguing and I love it a lot. I totally recommend this book to anyone because this series is truly a story that must be read! I am up to the part where Rowan and her group of friends go to a party at Oaks (the most elite school in Eden) to execute their plan to get to the Chambers in the Temple. ]]> 2018-11-28 13:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/308760211 https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/308760241 This book is about a girl named Hayley and she is suffering in High school.

The main character is Starr Carter who lives a double life. Nothing serious, she just lives in a poor neighborhood and attends a fancy prep school. She then witnesses the shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil. While Starr has the power to tell the truth of what happened, she also has the power to destroy her community and endanger her life. How much I read depends on my motivation to read and the amount of time I have. I almost never read anything less than 10 pages and at times even read 30 pages! I don't have a specific date in which I plan to finish the book. There are 473 pages in total and i'm only on page 83! The most pages i've ever read I think are 300, this is almost 500! I want to finish the book however so while I will get there eventually, I don't know when "there" is.

He had to hide indoors for most of his childhood from the government since he should be born.

Though he is very successful today, he had to get there the hard way. I am trying to start reading this book everyday and start making progress on it. I will try to read 10-20 pages a day.

Its about a girl named Hayley. She is in high school (a senior I believe) and she very much hates it. The way she sees people are freaks and zombies. If she saw you as a zombie, you were infected, but if she saw you as a freak then you were pure to the "infection" (This doesn't play a huge role in the book, but its good to know). Her father was in the military, so he often gets PTSD flashbacks. The only way that he knows to cope with it is by doing drugs and drinking alcohol, and Hayley absolutely hates it.

I am up to the part where Starr and her mother arrive at the police station so Starr can be interviewed on what happened from her point of view. One goal that I intend to accomplish is to finish reading the book. I don't think I have ever read an almost 500 paged book, but I am up for a challenge. I believe by reading all the pages, it will advance my reading level so soon i'll be able to read to 600 pages and so on.

Now I am on page 221 and a lot has happened. Basically, Agatha went to the boys castle and tried to eliminate Sophie from the school by kissing Tedros, her prince, but Sophie was there the whole time.

Ok, so I just read for about 7 pages and a half and I was able to learn about someone new who was named Ellen Swallows Richards. Something very coincidental was that a couple weeks ago we had to write about a women in class comments, and Ellen is that same woman that I did for that. 
UPDATE: Ok so I have read up to page 61
FINAL UPDATE: I ended up returning my book to the library because I didn't find it necessary to keep on reading the book if I wasn't really enjoying it in the first place.

I just read pages 64-72 and it was about Roan and two other students named Ronald and Bill. Ronald and Bill were both running for Student Council President and Bill who is Roan's friend asks Roan if he can make him campaign posters to help his case to win. Then after Ronald sees these posters and wants Roan to make him posters too. Roan makes both of them posters when he should have only made Bill his posters because Bill is one of his friends. After, Ronald ends up winning the election and Bill is now mad at Roan. 

In the Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Roan has to learn how to use the Force because it's a basic skill for a Jedi to be able to use the Force whenever he wants to. ]]> 2019-04-01 12:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/347128177 chumala23 https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/347128257 I have finished and I know I also lost the Rachel Carson book but I am going to read," Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte.

So far in the story, Ada, Jamie and Miss Smith went to watch a movie. On the screen, it described the war and that seemed to have scared Ada because she ended up having nightmares. Also, Lady Thorton had come over for tea and had encouraged Miss Smith to join the Women's Volunteer Service (WVS). Miss Smith refused a couple of times but decided to participate after all when Ada claimed she didn't have a proper job and that she doesn't care about things. After Miss Smith put on her WVS uniform and left, the chapter ended off with Ada breaking her sewing machine. As for my thoughts on this chapter, I do wish that Ada would be more careful with her words because when she said Miss Smith didn't have a proper job and that she didn't care, the author describes Miss Smith's reaction as if she had been slapped in the face. It was pretty obvious her words hurt. I don't entirely blame Ada however because she didn't have a good upbringing by her mother who neglected and abused her. Still, I just wish that she would choose her words carefully. Also, I hope that like Ada, Miss Smith is able to make some new friends at WVS so that way, she'll be less lonely.

Miss Smith however, someone who didn't want them at first, is now fighting for them and refusing to send them back. I read up to the part where the first air raid began and they were now running to the Anderson Shelter and Ada was having trouble moving fast with her crutches while Miss Smith waited for her. As for what I thought of this chapter, I believe this is Miss Smith's character development. She went from being opposed to taking care of the children to fighting for them to stay. This change in Miss Smith's character gives me hope that one day, she, Ada and Jamie will be a family.

This book was very helpful about learning about her life and how she contributed to her community. She was a very important woman and she helped bring soldiers from the war back to health. She did all she could to make everyone have a good life. The way that she did things was very inspiring because she always found a solution and she always wanted to help other people out like people that didn't have any materials at home to take care of themselves, she would make organizations like the Red Cross to help them benefit from them by giving back to the homeless and the people that were injured and were in need of materials and items for themselves and their kids. ]]> 2019-04-10 12:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/350321118 seandynLMS17 https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/350321738 I am now reqading a new book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

So far, Ada was been able to catch a German spy and was praised about it for a while. I then ended up reading up to the part where Ada comes back to the house and there waiting for her, is her mother. I was really shocked to see her mom back since she had not bothered to reply back to their letters. I hope she isn't here to take them back home and if she is, I hope Miss Smith fights for Ada and Jamie.]]> 2019-04-10 12:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/350322793 anewsome23 https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/bge8qaqqk37y/wish/350327709 Today I read about a little boy that live in a castle and he never leave the castle because his parents wouldnt him because they thought it was evil outside of the castle.
