  1. I am reading "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. This is a fanciful book that tells the story of a magical circus--a circus that only appears after midnight. Two ancient magicians are the creators of this circus, and they have made it as an arena to play out an age-old contest.

    The characters are fascinating, the setting is magical and the description is amazing! I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys a good, well-written story!

  8. The book I'm reading is the Third Reich Day by Day. Its a non-fiction so it dosen't really have a plot but it is a day by day and month by month history of the Third Reich since 1925. It includes facts from nazi politics, Armed forces, and World wide diplomacy. it is very good, but it is for people that only likes this stuff (which is like only 5 or 4 people). End of story move on to the next post.

  24. I am reading WW1 an outline history. Its a good WW1 book but as the title says covers every thing but doesn't go into detail about everything. List more political,economical,ideology, etc. So it could be considered a heavy reader. I recommend this book as a general knowledge book but not on individual battles. Still a good book though that mabye 3 people in the entire 7th grade would read. :)
