There were more, I just can't remember them at the moment…
Uhh here’s the ones i remember
6th grade
Esperanza Rising - Good But I don’t really remember it
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - It was good but it was also really sad
7th grade
The Night Gardener - Amazing, exciting, engrossing, my favorite book that we read in school
A Christmas Carol - it was hard to read and his writing style was hard to understand. Like there were parts I had to read over and over and still didn’t understand
The 5 People You Meet in Heaven - Eh. The characters were kinda boring and the girls (w/ the exception of Tala who was like 5) didn’t have their own personalities and were dependent on their husbands

The Muppet Christmas Carol is the best Christmas Carol and y'all can't change my mind.
The Giver (@starfast we'll just have to agree to disagree)
Fair enough. I feel like I read this book at the wrong time. Like, if I read for the first time now as opposed to 13 years ago I may have had a different opinion. But since I've already read it 3 times, I'm not exactly rushing to go pick up another copy.

I didn't even know this was a thing lol.

Macbeth was the only Shakespeare play that I read for school and actually kind of liked. I remember after we read it we watched this movie adaptation and there was this one part where Lady Macbeth screamed really weirdly and we made our teacher rewind it so we could watch it again because we all thought it was funny for some reason. My friend said she sounded like a tea kettle lmao.
The other two Shakespeare plays that I had to read were Julius Caesar and Titus Andronicus. I remember just being so confused with Julius Caesar because it was my first time reading old English and I honestly had no idea what was going on like half the time? There was one point where we had to write a paragraph about something or other and use quotes from the play to back up our points and I asked my teacher to proof read and at one point he was just like "Um… that's not what he was saying." Honestly, it was like reading a foreign language.
Titus Andronicus was alright. I don't remember loving it, but I didn't necessarily hate it either.

Yeah, the Giver graphic novel is neat because color only gets added as Jonas seems the memories with color in the,!
I want to read Titus Andronicus, it sounds….interesting.
Also it has the original yo mama joke!

Both I and Red agree with you.

I just finished reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
It was kind of weird and might be really slow for some people, but I enjoyed it enough
It was my choice book for my Honors English class's Summer reading
I read the Hobbit for school, then LOTR for fun. I'm homeschooled, so my mom makes me read a lot of books, most of which I end up enjoying.

For my English. For the honors summer assignment people had to watch a science fiction movie. One of the options was matrix
You…were supposed to…watch a…movie…for honors….English?
I had to stop doing honors and AP English because of the summer work. I never did it because I'm lazy, a procrastinator, and BAND
