WHAT GOLDEN EAGLE STUDENT-ATHLETES, COACHES and STAFF ARE READING
Austin Tallant / Football F
The Bible
FThe Bible has many authors and only one editor, and that’s God. I started reading the Bible because I heard it could save your soul. It was a very special gift from my Papaw, too. This book is full of nothing but knowledge. It assures me that I have to do nothing but believe in Jesus and live out his word. I want to recommend it to people who have lost hope and people who are lost, not just my friends.
Taylor Blazei / Soccer F The
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
F I read The Hunger Games because everyone told me it was a great book. Plus, I was reading it for a class in high school. I finished off the series of books, and they allowed me to use my imagination more. I loved the suspense and the plot line of the book. The ‘games’ were such a cool concept to base a book off of.
Whitney Robertson / Women’s Golf F
The Shack by William Paul Young
F I bought this book with a gift card I received. It was the first book by that author that I had read, and I found the story so uplifting. It is a Christian fiction genre book and it is about a man and the journey to healing after his daughter’s mysterious death. I love how it is a book that combines both mystery and tragedy into one. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.
Amanda Koch / Soccer F
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
F I bought this on my tablet after hearing what a popular series it was. I immediately fell right into the book. I had read the two previous books in the series, and really enjoyed the action and the depth of the book. It is a book about a strong girl who is trying to overcome many things going wrong in her life. It is also about the corruption of the human race and how, no matter what, humans will always be somewhat evil. I have recommended it to all my friends.
Tarah Piccirilli / Soccer F
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
F I went with a friend to the bookstore one day and sat and read the backs of books. I must have read over a hundred reviews until I found one book that sounded really amazing. All of the reviews made the book seem awesome, so I decided to give it a try. I like the book because it is told from a perspective I’ve never seen before and it’s very interesting. This is the first book I’ve read from this author, but I think everyone should read it.
