" I don't want to because boys dont write poetry, girls do." First sentence of this poem collection book. This is about a boy writing , listening and understanding poetry, while he is writing his poems he doesn't want his poems to give away who he is because he is a boy, and boys don't write poetry. As the poems and book goes on he says his opinions about  the poems that he hears and his thoughts on them. Soon when he needs to write a poem about a pet he rants on how he doesn't have one but he did but he doesn't want to write about it, but then he gets a yellow, silent black eyed dog.

I loved this book, I listened to it by audio and i was hooked, and it was truly interesting to me. Its written in a diary format  with dates included. And i bet its better in the hard copy. I liked how it was a boys vision changed so they knew that everything's not separate.

This book has collections of short stories. It has 10 good stories but my best story would be victory lap. Its about a young girl who gets kidnapped on her birthday, and a boy name Kyle who sees the incident happening and decides whether he should help her or not to stay safe.

I liked this book because there was different stories to choose from and they were interesting to read.
I give this book a rating out of 8/10

Alex Rider, Snakehead
Author: Anthony Horowitz

Alex is yet again put into the dangerous world the government tries so hard to hide form the media by the Australian Secret Service to play the roll of a child (as he is one) that is to be exported over to Australia illegally by the criminal organisation: Snakehead. They don't know that while they are "transferring" him he is infiltrating there organisation and figuring out a way to prevent this from happening due to the overflow of immigrants in Australia.  how ever during this operation he stumbles across the information that a bomb has been stolen by them and they are planning on using it! He is on his own yet again to prevent them from blowing up somewhere with the nuclear bomb they have attained but how will he do this?

This book was smartly written and quite possibly planned out very carefully done with a lot of research (it was very smart as stated above). I also like the way the author describes things (situations, objects etc.) I recommend it and the series is great.

Genre: fiction, spy, action, damn good
Rating:8/10

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
Author: J.K Rowling

Harry is back at Hogwarts for his fourth year but he has no idea what this years got in store for him. The triwizard tournament has come to Hogwarts after it being banned for over 100 year due to the many deaths that took place because of it! The tournament consists of 3 champions each from different schools that are old enough to compete but what will harry do when his name is spat out of the goblet of fire and is forced to take place in the historic event?

I believe this book is beyond great and is very gripping just as much as indulging leaving you wanting more. It was hard to put down which I believe is a good sign and also includes an interesting story, plot etc. I highly recommend it and hope others will pick it up as it is worth your time.

Genre: fiction, fantasy, magic, damn good
 rating:9/10(at times it dragged on/not to put you off)

This book is a graphic novel. It has five horror stories that get you wanting to read more and more. Also each story ends of with a mysterious ending, that gets you thinking what might happen next. There is also really good quality of pictures in the book as well. The book has a story that always has a setting in the woods.

I really enjoyed this book because the book has a wonderful twist at the end. I give this book a rating out of 9/10.
