Awesome Axolotls

     Hello! I'm Samuel, and today I'll be ranking the best 3 books I've read this school year, as it's soon coming to an end and we're all waiting for summer. The blog cycles were something that helped me get back into reading at least somewhat regularly. I built the habit of reading for the blogs, and would occasionally read for fun, depending on which book I was reading. So, what were these books that renewed and kept the habit of reading? Which ones did I enjoy most? Which ones had me sitting down to read the book? #3 The Hunger Games  by Suzanne Collins      I read the Hunger Games  last semester. I remember wanting to read it because I remembered watching the movie and hearing the book was better than the movie, so I decided to read the book. I thought they were both about the same, but I remember being really captivated and invested in the book when I read it.

  Thank you for clicking on this blog post. Before discussing the fantastic books during my and hopefully your childhood, I apologize for not centralizing my recent blog posts around literature.

On top of that, her amulet is a jerk and tries to make her evil, kill her, or traumatize her. (I think it's undeniable I don't remember a single thing about the series)' Next is Diary of A Wimpy Kid; I remember these books, and ...

  You better have Some Kind of Courage to read this story!             Has a book ever made you tear up? What about a children’s book? If you haven’t yet, this book will be your downfall. It was originally a gift for my little brother, but after reading the back cover, it was decided that we would all read it together. Every night, we would all head down and sit in our living room, the lights dimmed and blankets present. One of my parents would pick up the book and begin reading, and it was one of the best novels I have ever read. Some Kind of Courage tells an incredible story of a young boy whose horse was stolen. His horse, Sarah, was all he had left; he lost his mother and sister to sickness, watched his father die, and had his horse sold by his despicable guardian. This was the last straw and he set off on a journey through many harrowing scenarios to get her back.          ...
