It's Week Eight of our Summer Reading Blog Challenge.  How is your reading going?

This week, we have a question for you to answer.  Which type of book do you enjoy reading more: fiction or nonfiction? Please vote for your favorite on the right-hand side bar.

If you are looking for book suggestions, check out what these bloggers have to say...
I am reading a book called Annie the Apple Pie Fairy.  It is about a fairy who loves cooking apple pies. She is a cook on a cooking show. Then another fairy showed up, and Annie the Apple Fairy thought she was trying to take her place. Do you think in the end the fairy will be able to take Annie's place?

I read Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot. In this book, a little boy named Ricky saw an evil scientist destroying a robot. When he saw that, he was at school. At recess he kicked a ball as hard as he could at the evil scientist's head. Then the boy and the robot became friends. The evil scientist made a mutant lizard. The robot fought the lizard and beat it. Then they put the evil scientist in jail. 
Lucas W. Grade 3 
I am reading the BFG by Roald Dahl.  It is a funny book about a giant that is funny and nice and helps a little girl.

In Lone Wolf, Foalan is in the Outermost, where there are few trees, lots of caves without bears, and wolves he doesn't know. He was hunting and wandered there and now he is lost. Foalan has found the Cave Before Time and finds cave drawings of stories about wolves, caribou, and owls. I am enjoying this book.

    My book is called The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear. A little mouse went out one day and saw a strawberry he wanted to pick. He heard about the big hungry bear. He got scared of the bear and he hugged the strawberry. Then he picked it and he tried to bury it. Then he went inside and tried to lock it up. Then he disguised it and hid it under a tablecloth. Then the mouse sliced it in half and ate half of it and shared half of it with me. The mouse took a nap in a hammock with a strawberry stem on his head.

    I read the Magic Tree House books #17-20, Tonight on the Titanic, Buffalo before Breakfast, tigers at Twilight, and Dingoes at Dinnertime. There was a boy named Teddy who was messing with Morgan's magic and was turned into a dog. Annie and Jack had to solve a riddle in each adventure to free Teddy from the spell. Read the books to see if they could do it! My favorite book of the four was Tigers at Twilight.

    This week I read Magic Treehouse #23 Twister on Tuesday. Jack and Annie went back in time and found a very small school. They were looking for a writing and they found it thru the teacher's lesson. They were getting ready to go back home when they saw a twister heading for the school. Jack and Annie ran back to the school to help save the friends they made.
