My favorite books that I read this year


Here are a few of the best books I've read throughout this year.

(No particular order)


1. Harry Potter and the philospher's stone.

Dad read this to us recently and I loooooved it.


2. Inkspell.


I had read the first book in this series two years ago and my parents gave me this after I lost a tooth. I really liked it.I finished it in 2 weeks(it's a 650 page book!!!)



3.Behind the curtain


This is the second story from a series of 3.It's a great story with a lot of suspence and mystery.




4.Soldier X


At school this year my teacher really got me interested in world war 2 and I read this.It's a story of a German kid who gets sent to war and trades clothes with a dead russian soldier after getting wounded in a battle.





5.Fablehaven


This is a book |I found in a used section in a book store and thoughT it looked interesting and I'm glad I bought it because it turned out to be awesome.
