My Reading Bucket List


A Time to Kill by John Grisham

I've seen the movie "A Time to Kill" with Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sandra Bullock. I thought that it was a spectacular movie with the mystery of whether or not ‘Carl Lee Hailey’ will be put in the gas chamber for killing the two men who beat and raped his daughter.



Going Bovine by Libba Bray
Sometimes I wish that I could do the bare minimum and get through life like Cameron wants to. The fact that Cameron is sick and is going to die makes me want to read it even more. Sorry if it is a little weird, but that is more or less what I like to read. I want to know if the girl that told him there is a cure is right and see if Cameron is able to live.
 
 
The Broker by John Grisham
John Grisham has written many good books and I have and plan on continuing to read them. The mystery in this is not how he escaped, but who will kill him. The CIA is going to warn the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Saudis. I want to know what happens to the federal prisoner and why he needs to be killed.
 
The Battle of Jericho by Sharon M. Draper
I’ve never been asked to pledge for an organization or anything of the sort, so I’m guessing it is a really big honor to be able to. Then I here of all the things the kids have to do these idiotic things to make fools out of themselves and Jericho sounds like he is about to be one of them. I want to know why he would put up with it and why he doesn’t get out.
 
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My friend’s cousin has cancer and this really spoke to me. It reminds me more or less of the movie my sister’s keeper, when the girl with cancer meets the boy in the cancer center.  I get really intrigued by stories like this because they show me what I don’t want to see.



How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr

I feel like I understand Jill. When I lost my Grandpa I really kept to myself and stayed in my bed room most the day. If my mom was like mandy's mom I could understand where she is coming from, but I don't. I don't understand when parents don't care what their children do and when they don't get disiplined.


The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

When Katniss Everdeen's sister's, Prim, name is drawn out of the Girl's bowl for girl tributes she is devestated. She quickly volunteers for Prim's spot. From district twelve, Katniss and a boy named Peeta, are sent to the capital of Panem to fight to the death against 22 other teens. And only one comes out...alive.



Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Harry, Hermione, and Ron have been on many adventures together and succeded on many of them, but they are about to find out that Voldemort has been able to live a long life because of Horcruxes. Now they have to find all six of them and destroy them before he discovers what they are after.



The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Jason doesn't remember anything prior to the bus ride he is on where one girl is claiming to be his girlfriend and another boy is claiming to be his bestfriend. He has a gift where he can call on the sky God Zeus for lightning but is it really Zeus that he is calling on or a diferent set of Gods?



Battle of the Labryinth by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson is the son of the sea God, Posidon, but the evil time Titan Kronos has found a way to get into Camp Half-Blood. Through the Labryinth that Dadelus built, but can Percy, Annabeth, and Grover find a way to stop him?
