Poems from fellow Bookworms

Books I like to read
when Im all alone
I like to read
all the pages
maybe and hour
maybe more
even if it takes
100 years
I will still
LOVE BOOKS!

I really think,
that you should sink,
to the bottom of the sea!
I cant believe,
you didnt recieve,
in your head,
that some kids who go to bed,
read Jaquline Wilson!
Instead of the writers you put in your selection!
Please put her on i wanna find out her address!

Though many people died, and only a few lucky people lived,
For you to live, my life i would have gived....(gave)

The terroists killed children, husbands, and wives,
Just for their country, they have taken our country's lives.

The 2 Twin Brothers now lie in the streets,
On that day, people fled out of their seats.

To believe this has happened in our country is true,
Why couldn't those firefighters have saved you?

More than 100 people died, I know for a fact,
If you were there at the time, quickly you would pack.

To even think about all this evil people could do,
It is very bad, and it killed you!

I really wish you were here today,
But instead just last month you were put to lay.

To lay in your grave where i would never see you again,
To just think about this, brings me pain.

I loved you with all my heart and soul,
Now in my heart, there is a huge hole.

Who could do all this damage and debris
Although I am glad it didnt happen to me.

It happened to you, though, How could they do that,
Never again would you and I be able to chat.

As I end this poem with so much heart,
I think that maybe you should do you part....

The LAST BATTLE summary. This summary is not accurate. While Shift starts out trying to take over Narnia he ends up the puppet of the Calormenes used to deceive the Narnian animals as the Calormenes take over. Also some reference should be made to the fact that the story is an allegory of the end times - the summary provided is very trite and does not do C.S. Lewis's work its due credit.

*****

I think the best book is "The winter of red snow." Its the best book ever!

*****

I think you should have a A.R. sectoin with all 5th-9th grade books so when we click on the book that we want.

*****

Im still reading this book, The Hobbit, but its really interesting so far. I recommend it to people that can read a book that has a hard-to-read beginning but a interesting middle (where im at right now).  im sure the ending will be great.

*****

I think everyone should read books by a New Zealand author, David Hill, especially one called Fat, Four Eyed, and Useless. I also think everyone should read a book, also by a NZ author, called Alex, and Anne of Green Gables, and Little Woman.

I like your jokes because they are funny. I think you can write a joke book because they are cool and funny.

From Booker T Worm: Well thank you for the compliment, but I cannot take credit for the jokes included in the newsletter. They come from fellow readers, just like you, so I decided to post your comment in the newsletter for them to read.

Hello. I just got done reading the book "Holes" by: Louis Sachar, for a book report. I loved the whole plot of the story. I found it very interesting. I would of been terrified to be standing in the nest of one of those really poisonous lizard's. Now I know why Louis Sachar won a New Berry Award for that book.
P.S. I loved the book, its on my Christmas List!! :)

I found a mistake in your Harry Potter poll. You spelled Hermione wrong. You spelled it like this: Hermoine  You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

From Booker T Worm: We are duly ashamed and have fixed the typo. Thanks!

I Don't mean 2 be rude but i hate Harry Potter. I like the little sister babysitter club books. I read alot of them. I like the olderbaby-sitter club books when they talk about Krisy and the others. I Love the Goosebumps books even though they can be scary.

*****

Hi Booker-T. My favorite book is "The Windcatcher" written by Avi. I really recommend his books. He has written many of my favorite books such as "Who Stole The Wizard of Oz", "The Fighting Ground", "Something Upstairs" and "S.O.R Losers". His books are outstanding! I hope many viewers start to read his books!

*****

my fabulous book is Be the Best Friend You Can Be!

Our school library is in crisis! People won't send us a lot of books anymore and all books I like are always on your site. Oh, and Ann M.Martin is just like one of the best authors! I can't believe how good her Californian Diary books are. Every Monday and Friday- Our Libraray Days- I will just DIE if I can't find those Californian Diary books. I hope that you will be able to make more Best Reads Lists because I LOVE printing them out and the i show it to our Library teacher and then he might be able to order/get it.

I just wrote to say what I think about books. Books just take you away into another world. If you've read over 50 books than you've been to more than 50 planets. I LOVE books that have magic and fairies and those kind of creatures. Also books that are about animals, that's why I want to start reading Brian Jaques's Redwall.
