Hush, hush. The very first mysterious and thrilling book I've been reading. I enjoy the mysteries behind the characters personalities.
Does it mean that the boy and Patch is only one? Because he also have the V shaped scars like Patch's.
Patch is a little bit weird and scary. He knows some of Nora's profile.
I think the coach and Patch has connections and they planned about the new seating arrangement.
Do you guys love to read some kind of a mysterious story?

Before I Fall (42) I've even wanting to read this for a while. I enjoy the typical high school setting with a bit of suspense. #intro
?- Will Marion (1 of the cupids) become more important to te story? I think yes, because of the amount of description about her. #question
When Lindsay says: "Sorry, sweetie! I didn't see you there."... Hugest pet peeve: girls calling each other sweetie. #comment
!- Sam will fall for Kent and forget about Rob. Sam and Kent were BFF's when they were little, and she seems bored with Rob. #prediction
How many people have read Before I Fall? Does anyone else love typical high school settings as much as I do? I may be obsessed... #discuss
Divergent, knock off of the Hunger Games. Currently on page 222 and it's pretty interesting, confusing but for sure interesting #intro
Beatrice, three of the factions? Which one will she choose? I'm assuming she's gonna leave her faction #scandalous #question
Judging by the fact the book is called "divergent" I'm gonna say that qualifying for 3 factions is called "divergent" #comment
!- Beatrice's mother was Dauntless, I know it, how else would she know about the fight training? #didntseethatcoming #prediction
if I got to pick a faction I think I'd choose dauntless. what about you guys? dauntless? abnegation? candor? erudite? amity? #discuss
The Fault In Our Stars (pg.219) Very emotional book. I am starting to realize why so many people suggested it #intro

I predict that Haven will discover her real identity due to the book she found. #prediction
Has anyone else read the 'Vampire Diaries ' series? This kind of reminds me of it. #discussions
Scar Tissue (187) is the first autobiography that has captured my attention. Anthony Kiedis chose a life path full of excitement #intro
Would Anthony have been such a successful musician if he never met Flea and Hillel? Would he still have pursued a career in music? #question
I can't believe Anthony lost his virginity at the age of 11 to one of his dad's girlfriends! #shocking #comment
My prediction was that Anthony's addiction would spiral out of control early on in his music career. No big revelations, I was right. #prediction
Kiedis' novel details his life of partying and mischief. In what way is his story timeless? How will future generations relate? #discuss
The Spectacular Now (27) another sappy teenage love story, hope it ends well. #intro
?- Why does he drink so much? My guess= something bad happened in his past. #question
Favourite quote so far "Embrace the weird, dude." (Pg 7) #comment

My first impression of #theRosieProject was that it looked kinda girly. But it's actually more like Big Bang Theory (21) #intro

!-I think this book will end in the main char. getting into a relationship #prediction

There hasn't been one relateable or morally upstanding character in this book yet. #49pagesin #mykindofbook #Comment
The Kid's need for violence will only grow stronger and keep him from staying in one location for long #forever_unfulfilled #Prediction

For me, it depends upon the situation. Because drinking alone cause no trouble.
Snitch (21) 1st book I'm reading in 2014. A slow start, but not too horrible. Slightly confused as to what's happening. #Intro

"You may be a poet, but you're not a poet just like me" (pg 180) from the story "The Big Dope Reading" just awesome! #comment

Anybody else like poetry or short stories books? The mixture of both is amazing, it's fiction with real feelings! #discuss
Normally I don't really care to read about a 13 year old boy but by page 40, Swipe has definitely wiped away that stigma. #intro
?- Logan claims that someone is watching him. Who is it? Probably the boogeyman since he's afraid of the dark. #question
Even though Logan and I come from different backgrounds we can relate on one thing, we're both paranoid of the government. #comment
!- Logan's sister was marked on her 13th birthday but never came back afterwords. He assumes she's dead but I think she's alive. #prediction

I think gangs and cliques are similar because they're both groups of people with similar interesting and are like family.
Alysha -
I think so. Wouldn't think many join gangs b/c they like what they do. It's more abt belonging somewhere, just like cliques are. #discuss
I've read one novella and that was pretty good. It was The Shadow over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft. I'm usually not into creepy novels, but this one was good.
@Bruna Barcelos Poetry is amazing! I love it when writers are so descriptive with their poetry. Short stories are really cool too, they give you tons of chances to hear tons of different stories! I also really like spoken word poetry, you should check it out! #discuss
@kirastroud I love this movie! Haven't read the book though, I bet it's even better.
I think it's very popular because most young teens love a love story. Hazel's and Augustus' is just a little different which makes it more interesting.
I haven't read this particular book but I do know that the concept of losing someone you love and heartbreak are two very real ideas to many teenagers. My best guess is that youth enjoy the thrill of reading a novel that incorporates love, heartache, and the inevitable death. It's all about the tragedy and the fairy tale love.
Saving Max(29) takes a look at the hardships some people must face, it definitely opens your eyes to how lucky we are in life. #intro
?- What is Danielle going to do to help Max? As her final hope to save him, will it work? #question
I have sympathy for Danielles character, shes sweet&selfless but is having a hard time as she struggles to rescue her son.#rufflife #comment
! - I can see Danielle&Marianne becoming close friends, connecting over their life struggles, as their sons receive treatment. #prediction
This book has made me think of how easy I have it. Has anyone else ever read a novel that makes you think about how lucky we are? #discuss
@meganpelissier Before I Fall is one of my favorites, a good high school setting is great! They're a lot easier to relate to!
A House in the Sky (24), I wasn't expecting @amandalindhout to be so relatable in her memoir, great start to a bitter story #intro
How does @amandalindhout transition from her destructive childhood to her amazing life as a world traveler? #bigchange #notsure #question
"When I was a girl, I trusted what I knew about the world. It wasn't ugly or dangerous." #favouritequote #page5 comment
I think @amandalindhout will be an impactful woman of our modern world. #worldchanger #inspiration #prediction
Has anyone read any inspirational memoirs lately? I am really enjoying reading about modern day world change #discuss
@maslenjohnston I don't think Anthony would have pursued a career in music if he had never met Flea and Hillel, I think was in this time that he discovered that music was what liked and wanted to do #question
@tarynlucas : I think it's so popular because it causes so many problems in society and is interesting to see from our point of view without that form of government.
The Fault in our Stars (21) Not normally one to read much -but i'm pretty interested #intro
?-Are one of the main characters going to die? My guess, yes. #question

@alyshacho I think cliques are basically the same thing as gangs but the difference is that gangs are associated more with drugs and things like that. when I think cliques I think of high school and how we all seem to know each other but not like the people that we talk to on a regular basis.
-Divergent a Veronica Roth book so far it is extremely descriptive and mysterious making for a suspenseful intro to this book # intro
?- There are factions which divide society in the book what classifies these factions and how do you think they would assign them # question
My favorite quote so far"the train hurtles past the school, squealing on Iron rails". # comment
