Because we love talking about books we're reading!
"A book is a gift you can open again and again." ~Garrison Keillor
Welcome!!!!
This is a place for all of my book-loving students to talk to each other about the books they're reading.
We'll see how it goes, but for now I'll start a blog post about the main books you're reading. If you want to chat about them - just post a comment.
If you have another discussion you'd like to start - just let me know the topic.
Remember, when you comment - first names only!
Now that so many of you have suggested titles you want to discuss, the first page has turned into two pages. No worries! You can still find the books you want to discuss by looking at the Blog archive below the stack of books (which is just below this). Just click on the title you want to discuss.
To get to the other discussions, just click on the arrow next to January and it will list all 14 books.

Hi Alex!
ReplyDeleteI miss you too. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Day. I have a copy of "The Lost Hero" that you can read. Come see me Monday and I'll give it to you!
Alyssa asks -
ReplyDeleteHi I am having trouble enjoying The Lost Hero. Maybe it is because I am not reading it regularly. Do you think that there is something I could do to enjoy and finish it or I just don't like the book and there is nothing I could do about it? I hope you can help me.
Alyssa
Hi Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of ideas and we can discuss them more tomorrow if you like.
I have a question first - did you feel this way about any of the books in the original Percy Jackson series?
The reason I ask that is that I had a similar feeling when reading the last few books of Percy because I had read too many of them right in a row. Because it was over a year between when I read Last Olympian and when I read The Lost Hero, I was really excited again to read Lost Hero. If that's a possibility, you could try putting it aside for awhile and then trying it again in a while.
Another possibility is that you're so closely connected to the characters in Percy that you're feeling his absence in this book. Sometimes we get so attached to the characters in a series that we can't enjoy new books as much if they don't have all of our beloved characters.
Of course it's also very possible that stopping and starting is making it hard for you to get absorbed in the book. Maybe it would be a good idea to put it aside until Christmas break and then read it all at once when you have more time.
If none of these seem like good solutions, we can talk more about it in class.
Thanks for writing and sharing your thoughts about books.
Mrs. Curry
