About Me!
My name is Keely, and I go to PSMS. I like reading all different types of books. The only genre I don't like is cartoons or sci-fi. When I read I feel like to book is taking me to a whole new place. I feel like I am part of the story. I learned to read when I was in kindergarten. when I finally read for the first time I was so excited. When I was in elementary school they had a reading log called "Wolf Reading" every year you had to read at least about 30 books, and I finished every year.

What I'm reading right now!
Right now I am reading "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen. It is about the new boy at the school. On his first day of school he was looking out the window of the school bus when he sees a boy running with no shoes and no backpack. Right at that moment the "school bully" tightens his throat and he punches him in his face, jumps off the bus, and chases the boy. The new boy will not stop being nosy until he finds out who this boy really is.

~Hoot
"The Fault in Our Stars"
"The Fault in our Stars" is about two cancer patients who meet at a cancer support group, she does not like it at all until she meets Augustus. This book shows that you can do anything as long as you really try, and I recommend reading it!
"Wonder"
"Wonder" is a book that made me laugh, smile, and cry. It is about a boy who was born with a face that scares people. He is finally stopping home schooling and is going into the fifth grade. He meets three people, which two are nice. He ignores everyone who makes fun of him and has fun with school. It teaches kids to be themselves and not judge someone by how they look.
"Out of My Mind"
"Out of my Mind" is a book about a very smart girl in a wheelchair that has something called cerebral palsy. Melody Brooke is very close with her neighbor, who teaches her to use a machine to help her talk. Melody goes to school and joins the math team and travels to competitions with them to help them win. This is a book that I could never put down!
LIKE TRY WHY
Rick Astley Never gonna give you up lyrics!!!
Song Now Playing!
"Never Gonna Give you up" by Rick Astley reminds me of when you don't want to return a book. It also reminds me of when you are at a very interesting part in the book and you don't want to "give it up" and just keep reading. This happens to me a lot when I am reading and I just can't wait to see what will happen next in the book.
RECCOMENDED PLACES TO FIND BOOKS
I recommend GoodReads because it helps you keep track of the books you have read and find books for you to read based on what you have previously read. You can also find your friends and see what they are reading! You can search and find your favorite books!
When a book ends in a cliffhanger I immediately have to find the next book and start reading because otherwise I will be thinking about it all day.
When I read a book I imagine it in my head and I feel like I am part of the book.
I always read books that make me think and have different solutions.
