My favorite Genre -By Siddesh Shankar

By Siddesh Shankar

    My favorite genre of books is fantasy.  I like the series “Beast Quest.”  Beast Quest is about two kids who fight monsters who are cursed by an evil dude.  When the kids kill the monsters, they get special abilities such as resistance to fire, ice, etc.  I like the series because it looks like they are always on an adventure.  In one of books, they defeat a centaur (half-man half-horse) and get a horseshoe, which helps them to summon the centaur and getaway at lightning speed. Also, I enjoy reading comics.  My favorites are Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, and Little Lulu to name a few.  They are very funny and can cheer you up.  When I’m bored of reading serious books, I read comics for a change.  Now, I also read comics in the Sunday paper. What is your favorite book/series? Do you like comics or not? Why or why not?

My favorite book genre is fantasy. My favorite series is the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series. I like it because it is about a kid called Percy Jackson who has problems like dyslexia and later finds out he has them because he is a demigod(a child of a god and mortal). The dyslexia is for reading Greek, for example. He goes on all these quests and at the end, they have a giant battle with the titan of time, Kronos. I also like comics too. For example, I like Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, and Peanuts. I like them because they help me relax.

My favorite genre is fantasy and realistic fiction. I like those genres because in fantasy you can pretend. Although in fantasy you know that the thing that happens in the book will not happen in real life but at least you can think about it. In realistic fiction you know that it could happen and maybe it will. I love the things you can do and predict when reading realistic fiction. My favorite book is actually a picture book called "Mean Jean the Recess Queen." I like it because it reminds me that if you bully people around everyday and one if something goes wrong then you may not like it so just don't bully people. I also love the way that book is illustrated. It is a very amusing and enjoyable book. Before I liked Mean Jean I really liked to read the Cam Jansen Series. I like to read books by Andrew Clements.

My favorite genre is fantasy and mystery. I like fantasy because I can imagine myself being with imaginary creatures or people in the book. My favorite series for the fantasy genre is Harry Potter. I like it because he always uses magic to attack. I like mystery because I want to find what happens next in every book. My favorite series for the mystery genre is A to Z Mysteries. All the books in A to Z Mysteries always have a good story plot and they always find the bad guy. I like comics because some of them might cheer me up. I like Calvin and Hobbes. The series are really funny because he thinks that his stuffed animal, Hobbes, is a real tiger.

Nice post Siddesh!

my favorite book series is warriors I like the series warriors because it is about cats and it has a lot of adventures like in Firestar's Quest Firestar is supposed to restore skyclan a lost clan that was chased out of the forest.The book works like you have to read the first book and then you will get the book because if you start in the new prophecy you wont get it.There are also clans that have special abilities to catch there prey like thunderclan can hunt in the undergrowth and brambles, riverclan can fish,windclan can run fast and catch rabbits and shadowclan can see very well in the dark.and that is my favorite series.I also like comics I like them because when I'm lonely and I have nothing to do I like to read the funny comics.

I like comics too. I like the Baby Blues and the For Better or for the Worst. Those are the ones I like to read. I'm don't really read the other comics. My favorite genres are fantasy and realistic fiction. I like fantasy because I feel like I'm being carried to another world. I also like realistic fiction because I like to imagine what the character would feel if he or she was in the real world.

Shrirang Bagdi says: My favorite book genre is mystery!I like mysytery because whenever the characters in the book find a clue I get all exited and try solving out what it is just like other books in fantasy there is so many like made up things.For example:the Red Pyramid has a good not great like wow,oh,great,awsome title bu its good so I gt intersted in it because of the title.I also like Percy Jackson and the Olympian series as you can tell I read the series two times.So in my old class I saw when I was transitioning from my classroom to math in Mr.Hodges class I saw that the kids were reading the Percy Jackson series.Since the movie came out they started reading the book.By the way that helps the series get famous YAY for Rick Riordan.So when they started reaing the book I thought since it's so famous and everyone is buying the books I SHOULD give it a try so when I did I basically started loving it and read it all the time.In reading you should not judge a book by it's title!!!

I like fantasy. My favorite book is The Red Pyramid because it's hilarious and it still makes me laugh when I read it. It's about a boy named Carter and a girl named Sadie and they go on a quest to fight an evil god named Set. They learn how to use magic to help them in many ways. The book uses a lot of funny words, so it is my favorite book.

My favorite book series is Magic Tree House. I like the series because it tells a lot of information about the place where the characters depart from the treehouse. The characters visit many exiting places like the tropical forests and moon. The main characters are Jack, Annie, and Morgan. My favorite non-series books are Rats of Nimh and Charlotte’s Web. In Charlotte’s Web, I admire the author’s imagination. The book is about a spider called Charlotte, which saves the life of her friend Wilbur, the pig. In the book Rats of Nimh, a group of intelligent rats build their own civilization. They make electricity, build elevators, plan to grow crop for themselves, etc. Besides that I love to read comics from books and Sunday newspapers.

My favorite book genre is mystery or science fiction because I like Star Wars which is science fiction and I like other book with cases and mysteries. Star Wars is really cool because there are like make believe things that are made out of science and there could be these things in the future and all because of science.

My favorite series is Warriors by Erin Hunter. I just didn't read the super addition, Skyclan's Destiny. So far I like The darkest hour because there was an interesting battle against Lionclan(Thunderclan, Shawowclan, Riverclan, and Windclan)and Bloodclan. I suggest you should read it.

I love comic books because they are funny book. I also like chapter books because that they tell you information or some are mysterious or some are violent or some are scary. My favorite genre is mysteries, history fiction just to name a few.

Jamie said...

My favorite series is "Warriors" because it is always full of adventures. It's about cats who lives in clans and have troubles sometimes. I don't really like comics but sometimes I read them. There are a few comics along with the series "Warriors" but that is about all the comics that I read. I really don't read them because it is pretty confusing what to read first and what to read next.

My favorite book genres are fantasy and non-fiction. I like fantasy because there are usually a lot of things that are not true, really cool, and very creative. My favorite fantasy series is the Underland Chronicles. It's about this boy who falls through a laundry to a magical place where everybody fights the giant rats. There are five books in the series. I also like non-fiction because you can learn about something new that you never learned about before. My favorite non-fiction topics are space, animals, and different biographies. The biographies I like the best are usually the ones that talk about the warriors and leaders in ancient times.

Justin said...

My favorite genre is realistic fiction because I like to read a story that is real. My favorite series is the warrior series. This series is about cats in clans. Even through this series isn't realistic fiction, I still like it since it is about cats fighting cats. It is written from the cat's point of view.

I liked it a lot because ijt said things like using bombs to blast HUGE craters on Mars. I also like comic books too. For instance, every sunday I read the Sunday Comics. I also like the books too. I hav a set of Calvin And Hobbes at home in my room.

My favorite book genre is realistic fiction and fantasy. My favorite book in realistic fiction is Please Write in this book. I like the book Please Write in this book because it is all about a teacher giving the class a fun assignment for writing a journal in Writers Corner during free time. Whoever found the book in Writers Corner, they get to write in it for that day. One day, the whole class got into a fight in the journal because everyone was writing mean things to each other. There was this girl that made up all the rules for the journal and everyone got mad at her for making up the rules. Then the boys got mad at the girls and then the girls hid the journal in the girls bathroom. The boys found it and then they hid it in the boys bathroom. At the end, they all became friends and lived happily ever after. They also made funny drawings. Their teacher was so happy that they gave them another journal to write in. I like the genre fantasy because it is really fun to read because the author gives imaginary ideas and those ideas are fun to read!
