What Are You Reading Good? (5/26/08)

Every Monday, I will be posting a new "What Are You Reading Good?" for the week. This is your chance to share what you are reading good for the week.  As a student, you should be reading about one book a week, depending on how long the book is. A Harry-Potter-sized book might count as three books because it is so long and so it may take you three weeks to finish.  Try and set a goal for yourself and see if you can meet it! 

I have just started reading The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler.  This story is about a girl who has never been swimming or totally underwater, even in a bathtub, in her whole life!  Finally, she begs her mom to let her take swimming lessons and when she gets in the pool her legs feel really weird and she can't control them...because she has changed into a mermaid!  Right now, she is pretty freaked out and not sure what to do about.  She is scared to tell her mom so she is trying to keep it a secret from her.  It doesn't seem like she really has friends so I wish she would tell her mom.  I hate keeping secrets unless they are fun secrets.  I can't wait to see what happens!  

Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors.  She wrote the Princess Diaries series (made into Disney movies) and other fun books.  I have to admit, these are totally girly books, but they are fun!  This is the second book in the All-American Girl series.  In the first book, All-American Girl, the main character accidentally saves the president from being shot and becomes famous because of it.  She also ends up falling in love with and dating the president's son.  How cool is that?  In this book, so far, she is trying to decide if she is going to go to Camp David, the private hangout for the president (for real), with her boyfriend and the President for Thanksgiving.  Who wouldn't want to go to Camp David?  I hope she choses to go!  

What are you reading good?  Please share with me and other blog-readers.  I love to share what I am reading, to hear what others are reading, and to get ideas for books I want to read.  Let me know if you have questions about the books I am reading or about anything in this post. Don't forget, keep reading good!

Great comments everyone! Let's remember that this is all about reading and sharing ideas about books so let's be positive and respectful of everyone! If you want to know more about "The Tail of Emily Windsnap" or "Ready or Not" you can read what I posted above.

You all wrote about some really cool books! I love "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". I have read both books and I think there is another one coming.

I like how Maria, Andrea, Rocio, and Jose wrote a lot about the book they are reading. It helps me understand what the book is really about.

I have never read the Stink books, Goosebumps, Animorphs, or Junie B. Jones.

I have read the Babysitter's club books...they were my absolute favorite series when I was growing up. My friends and I even started our own babysitter's club!

Thanks for commenting on my blog!!!
