Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
Book Club
I have currently finished reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. It is the third book in the series and is 629 pages long. It is about an 18 year old girl named Bella Swan who is in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. As Bella’s high school graduation is approaching she hears about a string of mysterious killings in Seattle. Edwards family, The Cullen’s soon realize that these murders were not committed by humans but by newborn vampires. Bella has to worry about Victoria the hateful vampire who is desperate to avenge her boyfriend’s death, and she soon starts to wonder if Victoria is involved with the murders in Seattle. She once again finds herself in the middle of danger. On top of everything else that she is dealing with, she has to decide if she truly wants to become a vampire and leave her human life behind forever. She also knows that her decision could destroy the peace between the vampires and werewolves.
My favorite scene is on pg.460 when Bella finally agrees to marry Edward. Even though she is worried about what her mother and father will think about her getting married at such a young age, she agrees to it because she knows that it will make Edward happy. Another reason why is because if she agrees to marry Edward than he will turn her into a vampire himself. This scene is important because without it Bella and Edward would never get what they both want. I like this scene because even though Edward knows that he will be with Bella forever once she is an immortal, he still wants to do everything right the human way by getting married to her first. It also proves how much they love each other.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Dear Book Club
I have currently just read “Uglies” written by Scott Westerfeld It was 425 pages long and is a teen fiction novel. This book is about a 15 year old girl named Tally Youngblood. She is just about to turn 16 and can’t wait to join her best friend Paris in pretty vile. You see Tally lives in the future and in the future once you turn 16 you get a surgery which makes you” pretty” once you get to this point in your life all you have to worry about is having fun. Just when she thought her dreams were going to come true she finds that her new friend Shay has run away and now the people that run the city are threatening to postpone or cancel her surgery for good. If she does not help them find her. Now she has to make a choice between her friend and being pretty. Is becoming “pretty” really that important?
My favorite section in this book is when Tally finds out what being a “pretty” really means. On page 263. Her whole world crashes everything she has been brought up to believe has been a lie! And then to top it off after she has only believed that she was an ugly and every one she has ever known has seen her as an ugly someone tells her she is pretty. She has no idea how to react she thinks that they are joking. But then she realizes it is the out side that makes you pretty it your personality your emotions your experiences and choices that makes you pretty or ugly not the way you look on the outside.
Overall I loved this book very much and it is now one of my favorite books. I liked this section a lot because she finally figures out the lie she has been living under her whole life and she is finally able to look at people different. I didn’t dislike anything about this section. I would recommend this book to all who love science fiction and things out of the ordinary.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Dear Book Club,
I am reading a book called "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This book is about three litlle kids named Jean, who is the main character, Jem and Dill. The book is mostly about rascism and a black man named Boo Radley. Jem, Jean and Dill are always trying to make Boo come out from his house, but it never works. Jean and Jem start to think that Boo Radley is not real so they ask Atticus, their dad, if he is real and Atticus says he is real.
My favorite part in the book is when they find a dog that is old and dying and it is walking down their street so Atticus tries to shoot it with their neighbor's gun. He misses and the dog continues down the street and out of sight.
I don't really have a least favorite part in this book, I enjoyed reading it and recommend it.
