One Ring to Rule Them All

By Cameron M.

        Trouble in Middle Earth! Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit from the mystical green hills of the Shire embarks on a journey with 9 other companions (including himself) to complete a quest in The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. This wonderful novel was written by J.R.R Tolkien, and it is a sequel to the previous novel, The Hobbit. This story is the first to a three part series which I cannot wait to finish because of how entertaining this great novel is. The Fellowship of the Ring is a fantasy story revolving around a group of 9 people who are assigned to a very important mission.

Lame Title and Lots of Typos

 By Quinn M.

Lord of the clans is the 7th book of the Warcraft series. It has a main character that has to escape his slave master and he learns to communicate with others. I would recommend this piece of writing if you wanted to learn the story of the game before it was created. It shows and tells part of the story you can't experience through the game. Though it's counter part, the game "Warcraft" has hints of what happens, to experience the full story, the book is definally what i would recommend to someone who is looking to learn more about that side of the game.

Rick Riordan has come out with the final book in The Heros of Olympus, The Blood of Olympus. At 516 pager long it is quite a read. Some of his other series include the Kane Chronicles and the Percy Jackson series. This book represents the fiction genre.  It is about demigods who are on a quest started by a prophecy.

Longer Than I Expected

                                Nineteen Minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time, but you'd be surprised at what can happen in that short amount of time. Jodi Picoult's 'Nineteen Minutes' was definitely one of the better, if not the best, books I've had the pleasure to read.

‘Romance, Tears And Laughter’

By Kendra M.

Everyone loves a romantic novel, including myself. That's why I fell in love with John Green's 'The Fault In Our Stars'. 'The Fault In Our Stars' was an absolutely amazing book. I loved every minute spent reading the book and wouldn't change a single thing about this book. Yes, even the ending.

Hazel Grace Lancaster, the narrator, is a sixteen year old girl who has cancer,  specifically thyroid cancer. She talks about how her parents made her attend a cancer support group where she meets Augustus Waters, a seventeen year old who also has cancer. Augustus only has one leg because he has Osteosarcoma, which led to him having to get his leg amputated. Hazel ends up falling for Augustus and the book follows their love story through Hazel's point of view. John Green has written several other books including 'Looking For Alaska' and 'Paper Towns'. He typically writes young adult fiction and is most famously known for writing 'The Fault In Our Stars'.
