I am fifteen and I don't want to die

 I was 15 when I got this book...so of course I got it because I wanted to know why a 15 year old was going to die...When I was 15 I had only really learned about WWII when I was in the 6th grade under my Advanced Reading class ever since then I didn't know much about it...just the facts we all know about...you know Hitler...the 250 or so million Jews he killed, Pearl Harbor...and Anne Frank (funny though we only watched a movie about her but didn't read her diary). So when I read this book. I didn't know that Hitler had actually taken over countries...forgive me for being naïve. I was under the impression he just gathered all the Jews to Germany and killed them there...not that he overtook countries. So I was shocked when I read this book...and learned the reason why she thought she was going to die...I don't remember much about this book anymore I only ever this book about 3 times. So I don't remember if she lived or not...forgive me those of you who have read this book. Does anyone know if she's even still alive? This is a relatively sad book...one of many I'll read down the road...and not the only book (counting the other book Summer with My German Solider) about WWII that I'll eventually read.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

 I got this book when I was 13 so approximately a year after the movie came out. I didn't see the movie...nor had I read the first book either. I didn't read this series in order I didn't even know this was a series...I didn't know about the movie...I honestly didn't know anything about J.K. Rowling. Nor did I know about Harry Potter. I just liked the title of the book. Chamber of Secrets sounded mysterious to me so I got it (no I'm not a person who judges a book by it's cover but I am a person who judges the book by it's title, forgive me if I said this already). Little did I know this would be the book I would read more above all the books I had and eventually read so much that I cracked the paperback spine in the middle making the page of the of the chapter The Writing on the Wall always fall out...and for a while I lost because I read the book so much everywhere I went. My mother found the page in between the seats of the couch about a week after I lost it lol. Ever since then I always tried to keep the book from opening that far to make the page fall out and lose it all over again. I read Harry Potter when I can't think of anything else to read...having now the complete set of books lol. Obviously I'm not the only one who became hooked on Harry making me learn to love to read books...back then I only read books...because they were mandatory or I got them for free...but this is the start of me actually liking to read...and eventually become an addicted reader.

American Diaries: Rosa Moreno Hollywood California 1928

So this is a simple book. I got this book along with the one I wrote about before. Now I was under the impression this was one of those American Girl books...that come with a doll that looks like the one on the book. Wondering...later on of course when I would get the doll that comes with it. But then I realized this is not one of those books. The first time I read this book I was under the impression she would eventually become a star and how her life would change and this being one of those books about old Hollywood child stars how they were and how their life went sort of thing. I was under the impression that this was actually a real book (you know non-fiction), it wasn't until the end of the book I realized that it wasn't a non-fiction book after all. I was disappointed with the ending of this book. I didn't read this book as much as the other ones because of that. I'd only read it if I were done with the other books I had...which of course were only 3 lol.

In my father's house

    My 3rd book is called In My Father's House By Ann Rinaldi. Now again I got this book when I was about 12-13 years old from that free book program I told you all about. This for me back then was a pretty thick book...obviously now that I'm older I can't believe I thought it was thick let alone long lol. If I were to read this book again I think if I wasn't interrupted like I always am I would finish this book in a day. I wonder though if they really talked the way it does in the book? I pretty much liked this book and again would read it all the time. I haven't read it in a long time...and am sad to say I don't know where it is. Though I know I didn't read it enough to make it fall apart like the other two lol. I haven't seen or heard other books by this author though, and I'm wondering if this is her only book...or I'm just not paying attention to her. If anyone knows any other books by her someone leave me a comment I like the way she writes and would gladly read another of her books.
