Beautiful Creatures Movie

The book, Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, will soon be a movie.  I am about two thirds of the way finished, and I am loving it.  I love the Southern setting, the paranormal characters, the flashbacks to the Civil War, and the mystery.  Have you read the book? What did you think?  If you haven't read it, do you plan to read it before the movie comes out on Feb. 14? Come by the library, and I will help you check it out!

Student Review - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


Book Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Book Author: J.K. Rowling

Reviewer: Camryn Cartwright

Why would you recommend this book? This book was super interesting, and I loved every second of it. The ending was kinda sad, but it was happy at the same time. I would recommend this book because it was action-packed, adventurous, and everything you could wish for in a book.

What did you like about the book? I liked the fast-paced scenery and the way the book flowed together.

What did you dislike about the book? I disliked the sad scenes like when someone (I'm not telling who) died. That person was one of my favorite characters.

Final thoughts about the book? READ THIS BOOK, and the entire series with it because after you're done you will want to read it over again!

Mrs. Chetty's Year in Review: 2012

 As many of you know, my goal for 2012 was 50 books.  I came very close with 48.  I blame baby Eliza for not letting me get to the last 2.  Many of you have asked, so here are the books that I read.  My favorite book of the year was either Divergent, by Veronica Roth, or Wonder, by R.J. Palacio.   You will notice most of them are in the GMS library, but not all.  If you have any questions about books I read, just ask!  I would love to know what books you read in 2012 and what your favorite was.  Do you have a goal for 2013?  I am going to try for 50 again.  I will let you know how I do.  Just leave a comment below with your list of books, favorites, or goals and I might just deliver a scratch-and-sniff bookmark to you.
