Before I Fall

Title: Before I Fall
Author: Lauren Oliver
Genre:Fantasy, School stories

Aside from Beautiful Darkness, i am also reading Before i fall by Lauren Oliver.  I have only read the prologue and so far it seems like a really cool book!  I think this book will be about high school drama and what Samantha (the main character) has to do to gt her last day to live right.  This book seems like one of the books that will make you cry, be happy, and laugh.  I am excited to continue reading this book.

The Earthling

The Earthling by Brian Patten was about how life on earth was started.  At the start of this poem it talked about how life on earth began with inventions.  In the middle section it talked about how mistakes were made kind of like today (2000's).  In the ending it talked about how the earth is getting destroyed and how everyone is spreading apart (relationships and what not).  There is also a fire that spreads across the earth in the end of the poem our group figured that, that was the sun that caused the fire.

  I thought this poem was hard to figure out, but if you read each line carefully you can get the real meaning out of it.

Beautiful Darkness


  Title: Beautiful Darkness
  Authors: Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
  Genre: Gothic Romance


    At the moment i am reading Beautiful Darkness.  So far this book has been much like the first one, "Beautiful Creatures".  Nothing much is happening in this book yet, Lena and Ethan are still together and everyone is still sad and depressed about what happened in the first book with Uncle Macon.
