Gathering Ideas for Good Reading!

As you read through last Friday's book response posts,  you'll find a vast array of book choices and critiques.  You just may find your next book title amongst the menu of choices.  Then again, you may read posts for books you might stay away from, depending on the genres you like.

Take Carissa's post, for example.  You'll see that Dust and Decay is about more than zombies.  Do you like romance novels?  Check out Bailey's post about Every Day .  Makenzie writes about one of last year's Gateway nominees, Amy and Roger's Epic Detour.

There are so many suggestions for reading on our blog, some good books, some not so good.  Jazlyn, for example.  She doesn't stick with a book unless it catches her attention early.  Delirium, however, was a book she couldn't put down.  By the way, it looks to me like Michelle is someone you might ask for book recommendations!

There are many other good responses.  Please read through all of the reading responses and make meaningful comments on those that speak to you - at least ten.  If you see a post with no comments, please respond to it so that no one is left out!

Looking ahead, don't forget that writer's notebooks (#2) are due Friday, September 19th  at the beginning of class.    Don't fall behind.  After the next Friday (the 26th), it is too late to earn credit on writer's notebook # 1. In other words, late work won't be accepted after the next Friday! 

Our next reading  response is due next Friday, September 26th.  If you have still not posted your first reading response, you must print out a copy of your post, attach it to your blank score sheet, and upload it to your post to the blog.  You have until the next Friday to earn late credit for your late post, but after then, it will be too late to redeem points for your work!

Happy writing, reading, and blogging!
