Book Reviews

                   Book Reviews


Here at The Book Corner, we love to read books and have for a very long time. We know that writing book reviews feels like a school assignment, but it’s really not. A lot of people don’t know what book reviews are  useful for.


Well for starters, say you have just finished a really good book and you want to remember what happened for as long as you possibly can. How do you do this? 


Simple, you take a few minutes out of your busy life to write a book review, so that if you ever forget what happened you can just read the book review and remember what happened in the book.


Also, if you go on to websites like goodreads, you can share your book reviews and read other peoples reviews as well. How is this helpful?


Well, it means that if you are thinking about reading a book but your not really sure if you’ll like it or not, you can read what other people think of it and that could help you to make your decision.


Book reports can also be a good way to come to terms with the book that you have just finished reading, and,by comparing your book review with someone else's, you could get a better understanding of the book you have just read.


This is useful because it means that you get more out of the book that you have finished reading. Another thing that is useful about comparing your book reviews with other people’s is that by reading their opinion on a book it may alter your opinion on it,changing your reading experience completely


It is also a good way to test your knowledge on that particular book. If you can fill out a decent book report about the book then you have a grasp on what happened, if you can’t write a book review on it, you have a slightly weaker grasp on the concept of the book.


This is what book reviews are used for in school. They help the teacher figure out how strong of an understanding you have on the book you were doing the book review on. This is very useful for teachers.


Since we at the Book Corner, feel like that teachers should not assign certain books for their class, so it can also be a way to figure out what kind of books their students enjoy reading.It also makes writing the book review more fun.


We are not suggesting that you write a book review for every book you read, just the ones that you want to remember, ones that you want to test yourself on and ones that you are a bit confused on.


We at The Book Corner, we would really like if you would send us some of your book reviews so that we can put them upon the blog alongside all of our weekly blog posts. 


Email them to us at thebookcorner2020@gmail.com


Happy Reading,

The Book Corner

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik
