Confessions if a Murder Suspect

The name of my book is Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson. I have read 22% of the book (on a kindle). In the mystery I've found out that someone in the house had to have killed Maud and Malcolm because there was no sign of breaking and entering. I also found out that no valuables were stolen. I found an Italian word in the book (noli perturbare) and it translated to fright disrupt. The sentence it came from was "out. out. noli purturbare. do not disturb".

Mystery book (first post)

Title: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Author: Douglas Adams
Number of pages read out of total: 57/290
Picture:

From story 2. The Electric Monk's pink valley.

Comment:
The book so far is really confusing because there are five stories going on at once.

1. A story of a tower with a light in it. (Best description I ca give of the information. Sorry)
2. A story about an Electric Monk that finds a door in a stone in the middle of a pink (at least the Monk thinks so) valley.
3. A story about Susan who in waiting for a phone call that never comes and she ends up going out somewhere.
4. A story about Richard who goes to a college dinner, it was 10 years after he graduated from that collage.
5. A story about a man named Gordon Way, brother to Susan (lady from story 3.), employer of Richard (person from story 4) and owner and founder of WayForward Technologies.

And that is just so far. In story 4 they also bring up Dirk Gentley. It say that he changed his name a couple of time ad these are the names I know so far. Svlad Cjelli. Dirk Cjelli. He is notorious, sought after and endlessly speculated about.

                                                                                         The Late Bus
                                                           
                                                                I chose to read this book because it is a scary book. I thought this would be interesting because on the front cover there was shadows and a bus  that looked haunted. The book is about Lamar, he is one of the main characters. After the first bus diver past away.  Now Lamar has a new bus diver his name is Mr. Rumble he mask for his face because his face is messed up. All the girls that were coming onto the bus looked at him and covered there faces and said "Oh my gosh". I recommend this to anyone that likes scary books because it has lots of scary things. 

A Walk to Remember

Title of book: A Walk to Remember
Author: Nicholas Sparks

 This week I read the book called "A Walk to Remember". So far I read 60 pages and cannot wait to continue because the book is really good. The main characters in this novel are Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter. They both go to high school in Beaufort, North Carolina. Jamie is a very joyful girl who doesn't have many friends but she is always there to help everyone. Weekly she goes to church and to the orphanage. Her father is the minister in the church. Landon Carter is probably the richest child in high school. He has good grades and he has many friends. Landon Carter is the student body president at their school. In the book somewhere at the beginning when they are suppose to have a dance, Carter doesn't anyone to come with. While he goes through the yearbook he sees Jamie. Because she is the only available girl he chooses to go to the dance with her. While they are at the dance they have a great time and for the first time Jamie dressed differently. I think that later in the book Jamie and Landon will be together. While I was reading I found many unknown words but I chose one that was very interesting to me. "He'd written his own sermons his whole life, and some of them, we had to admit, were actually interesting, especially when he talked about the wrath of God coming down on the fornicators and all that good stuff". The unknown words are sermons and fornicators. Sermons means a talk on a religious or moral subject. I cannot wait to read more and see what will happen!
