The Alchemist

 

The Alchemist is such a good book, it has a lot of good quotes, and an amazing story. my favorite quote is  “It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” 

I actually have more then one favorite quote well reading the alchemist. here's the review:

 

   Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts

 

if you do read this book you will love it like I did. well I was reading this book I couldn't stop reading it I had to keep reading it. even if I was ahead of the class.

I hope you will enjoy this book if you do read it

The 5th Wave

the book is the best book I have ever read. theirs so much going on is was really hard for me to put it down. theirs kinda romance, violence a little, plot twist. theirs just a lot of things this book is. and the movie the movie is not bad its not better then the book nothing is ever better then the book.


After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender,between life and death. To give up or to get up.

I really think you all would love and enjoy this book. thanks

There were no surprises in Gatlin County. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong.
"Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations.
Mysterious, suspenseful, and romantic, "Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness," "Beautiful Chaos," and "Beautiful Redemption "introduce a secret world hidden in plain sight. A world where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen. Sometimes life-ending.
This stunning set makes the perfect gift for fans of this bestselling Southern gothic romance.

well all of his books are amazing. I'm on chapter 2 not for haha. its a good book is far. Here's the summary

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life–dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge–he follows.
After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues–and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.

Milk Weed

For English I read this book. it was a very good book. I cant really remember much cause I read this book when I was in grade 8, and I'm in grade 10. well here's the book summary

Call me thief. Call me stupid. Call me Gypsy. Call me Jew. Call me one-eared Jack. I don't care," declares Misha, the narrator of Jerry Spinelli's wonderful new book, Milkweed. An orphan in Nazi-occupied Warsaw in 1939, Misha was a boy of the streets, innocent and invisible, until he met Uri and started living in a cellar below a barbershop. It was Uri who named him, then created a family and a past for him. As Misha Pilsudski, he is a Gypsy. He has nothing, knows nothing and accepts the world as he finds it. Born nameless into a world gone crazy, Misha is free. He's happy to be a Gypsy; at least it's an identity. He can go anywhere and sleep anywhere, as long as he avoids the Nazis. "Everything is for me," he says, as he wanders his city. He marches alongside the Jews on the way to the ghetto, gives food to an orphanage, steals from the "fox fur" ladies and sneaks out at night to steal food to bring back to the ghetto.

Underlying this story of war and the Holocaust is a young boy's search for a name and something to believe in. In the ghetto, Misha and his friends sleep like kittens huddled together under a braided rug. "In the morning light, most of us would begin to believe in mothers and oranges again," he says, but they debated whether or not to believe in angels and heaven. Eventually, Misha comes to think of the rest of Warsaw, outside the ghetto, as heaven. He finds a two-brick hole in the wall and crawls through it to get there. "In the ghetto all was gray: the people were gray, the smells were gray. Here everything was colors to me," Misha says, "the red clang of the streetcars, blue music from phonographs."

umm i'll try to keep posting when the semester ends.
thanks for reading this post and my other ones I will  try to post no promise

Cobain Unseen

Nirvana is like one of the best bands EVER!!! I love all of their songs. I can play Smells Like Teen Sprit , Come As You Are, Heart-Shaped Box, and Polly on the guitar. I love this band so much their so amazing. The book is about Kurt ( of course ) where he grew up and mostly personal stuff about him. I liked the book, if you like music I think you will love this book. here's the book summary.

An unparalleled look inside the brilliant mind of one of America's most revered rock legends, Cobain Unseen collects previously unseen artifacts and photographs from the estate's archives to form a fascinating portrait of the creativity, madness, and genius of Kurt Cobain.
Personal items and photographs take readers deeper inside Cobain's life than they've ever been before, and interactive features, such as Kurt's handwritten sticker-sheet of Nirvana name tags, facsimiles of unseen journal pages, and gatefolds of his graffiti-embellished guitars make this an essential keepsake. An audio CD showcasing spoken-word material by Cobain, some of it never before released, will be included. Accompanying the previously unpublished images and memorabilia is a compelling biographical narrative by New York Times-bestselling author

I think this my last updated cause are 1st semester is almost over so
I hoped you enjoyed this blog
I might keep blogging or quit I don't know yet so thanks for following me and I hope you enjoy the I blogged about if you read them

The Call Of The Wild

 For English we read this book, it was a pretty good book. Its really not the kind of books I read but it was pretty good I was kind zoning throughout the book.

The Call of the Wild was written by Jack London and published in 1903. Most of the novel takes place in the Yukon Territory, which is between Alaska and present-day Canada. The story takes place during the Klondike Gold Rush, shortly after gold was discovered in the Klondike in 1896.
As a young man of 19, London was one of hundreds who rushed up north in hopes of making it rich. He based this story on his experience during that time, which set the scene for the novel. The plot follows the story of Buck, a dog who is kidnapped and taken up north to work as a sled dog, as he journeys through the Yukon Territory. The harsh natural conditions play a crucial role in how Buck changes throughout the story.
