Neassa's Christmas List

Neassa's Christmas List


I know that it’s really early to be thinking about Christmas, but I can’t help it. It’s my favourite day of the year and I always start looking forward to it really, really early. And once I start thinking about it, I can’t stop.


 Every year, I ask for books for Christmas. Lots and lots of books. My friends all think I’m crazy when they walk around with their new phones and Gucci skirts, but, to be honest, I would prefer to be reading a good book then talking on a new phone.


This year, I have a really interesting list of books that I like the look of, and I thought, why not write a post about it? If you enjoy this post, then tell me about it in the comments and tell me if you have any books on your Christmas list and what they are!


Amazon.com: The Kill Order (Maze Runner, Book Four; Origin): Book Four; Origin (The Maze Runner Series) (9780385742894): Dashner, James: Books

  1. The Kill Order


I really want the Kill Order by JamesDashner for Christmas. It is the fourth book in the Maze Runner book, a series that I really enjoy because it is really unique, unlike any other series I have read.


They are about a group of children who are trapped in a maze and they have to try and escape. They go through many more challenges to try and earn a normal life for each of them.




Future Friend - Bookstation

  1. Future Friend

Future Friend by David Baddel is a book that I am really looking forward to reading because David Baddel is one of my favourite authors. He writes books that are light and funny.


My favourite of his books is The Taylor Turbochaser which is about a  girl in a wheelchair who is chasing her dreams even though having wheelchair makes it difficult and I hope that “Future Friend” is like this book



Dancing the Charleston

  1. Dancing the Charleston

Dancing the Charleston is a book by Jacquline wilson, another one of 

My favourite authors. She writes books about people who are going through hard timeless at that point


My favourite Jacqueline Wilson book is Queenie and I have been told that these two are similar and I can’t wait to read it!


Middle School: From Hero to Zero

  1. Middle school: Zero to Hero

This is the tenth book in the Middle School series, a series that I really enjoy because they are funny, light and really, really easy to read. They are by another one of my favourite authors, James Patterson.


The Middle School books are about a boy called Rafe hohas difficulties in school and often lands himself in trouble because of it. He is a great artist and draws lots of pictures of his troubles, of his teachers and of the people he likes.




So this is my Christmas list for books this year. If you liked it and would like Saoirse to do her Christmas list as well, then tell us in the comments


Happy reading

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
