READ past your Betime!! Come On!!
Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs
This is an awesome book filled with adventure, mystery and excitement! As you can see, it deals with mermaids, but unlike you have ever imagined before.
Take the time to check out this great book, it's worth 14 AR points (Go College Bowl!) AND its fun to read!
Mrs. Pitotti read it, and LOVED it! Check it out, literally!
The Host
by Stephenie Meyer
Did you enjoy the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer? One of the things she is known for is her amazing ability to capture your interest and imagination as a writer. In this book, The Host, she does just that!
Imagine yourself in a situation you can't change, and you could be the main character of this Sci Fi thriller! The storyline is so unexpected, you just can't put it down once you get started!
So Get Started!
The Host is worth 29 AR points, and so worth reading!

Are you reading past your bedtime?
Do you love reading so much that you read past your bedtime? I do, and I want to know what you're reading, then Blog all about the book!
(don't be a book spoiler though!) Do you recommend it to other teens? Come on, dish!
I started the new Rick Riordan book that came out today. I love the Percy Jackson series, it's full of action, adventure and even a bit of romance!
Rick Riordan rocks writing books! He uses amazing imagery, and writes so descriptively that I can't help but read WAY past my bedtime! I think all of you should read his novels, you won't regret it!
