Hi! This is something that just came up, so I decided that I would tell you. Recently, I found this awesome site called Fanfiction.Net. It features stories written by people who have read books and want to write their own, based on the characters, plot, etc. of the book that they like. Kind of confusing the way I put it, but just go on the site sometime if you want to know. Anyway, I got an account, and I have written three rather short stories so far. I am so happy! This is the beginning of my writing career, I guess! If possible, could any of you guys out there go to my profile page, scroll down, and read one of my stories? And maybe review? That would be great!!!! Thank you! (Here is the link below)

By the way, my username is MentalBookworm1213. Thank you so much for reading this, and have a great summer!

Hello faithful readers! How are you guys? I'm sorry that I haven't updated for a while. What with summer vacation I forgot... Anyway, there is a new book series that I would like to recommend to you all. It is called The Legend Trilogy (Legend, no. 1; Prodigy, no. 2; Champion, no. 3 which still hasn't come out). I learned about it from the middle school Battle of the Books list (the first book is the one on the list). The first novel is called Legend, as I already told you, and it was one of the best books I have ever read. Period. The whole book was thrilling, action-packed, and to be blunt, just plain awesome. The story is about a young criminal named Day. Day is so mysterious, only he knows the true story of his past. His family thinks he's dead. But he gives them the medicine for a plague that they don't have the money for. That all changes when he supposedly kills a soldier during a robbery for the medicine. The problem is, knows that he didn't kill the man. He just threw a knife at the man's shoulder to get away. So now the government is after him for something he didn't do (but they were after him anyway). And who is the mystery girl named June, whom he had met in a Skiz fight? Find out by reading one of the most incredible books ever- Legend. And trust me when I say that this novel is epic.

Hi!!! I'm back again! I'd like to tell you about a series that I'm reading. They are called The Books of Ember. I read the first book last year and decided to continue reading it. It's about a group of people were sent to live underground in the "City of Ember" hundreds of years ago. They had lights to see. As time passed, everyone underground began to forget the outside world. And because light can't shine forever, the lights began going out. No one wants to realize that it's time to leave so it's up to Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet to find away out and save the people they love most. This story is very intense and keeps you on the edge of your seat because you never know what is going to happen next. So, take my advice and read it! I am on the second book now and have loved it so far. If your looking for something good and entertaining, then this is your series!

I definitely agree with Mr. King. He is exactly right! Tell everyone about your reading experience, recommend a book, or show us a picture! My dream is to get everyone to read, so help make that come true!

(You may be thinking This is just like school. They just want us to read, read, read for no reason. I am not. Reading is AWESOME!!!!! I want you to go pick a book not to do research, but to have the time of your life. Reading a book is like nothing you have ever done before. It is purely amazing. So, go pick up a book and it will change your life.
