first post of gr 10

1. I enjoy reading fiction novels generally unless the topic of a non-fiction novel really interests me. My favourite genre of books is mysteries, specifically murder mysteries because I feel they keep you on the edge of your seat more than romantic or historic novels do. I feel with mystery novels you can explore the plot further and give a surprise ending. My favourite author is Norah McClintock because she writes a lot of mysteries with out going to gruesome and making her readers scared to look in their own backyard. I don't really read any books or pages online except for Facebook or social update websites.

2. The last book I read was Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Its about a outcast girl in high school who was raped at an end of summer party. She then called the cops who came and busted the students for some under aged drinking and other things. No one knows that she was raped and everyone hates her because she called the police. I really liked this book, it showed her struggles of trying to fit in and it was very interesting as she trys to deal with seeing the boy who raped her. The second last book I read was Password: Murder by Norah McClintock. After a car accident that killed his father, Harley sees this fathers ghost and he believes that his father was murdered. He goes around searching and discovers the truth about his fathers death. I loved this book. It was shocking, suspenseful and impossible to put down.

3. My favourite book to date is probably Hit and Run by Norah McClintock. I loved this book because the ending is so awesome and surprising. Plus the main character reminds me of a friend I used to have. It is the first in a series and after I read Hit and Run, I had to read the rest of the series. I couldn't put the book done it was literally the fastest time I've read a book.
