English 10A and 10B Students,
I enjoyed watching you and talking to you as you made your independent book choices. Some of you have already changed your minds and made a switch. Now that you’ve settled on a book and have read a number of pages, I’m wondering how the reading is going—your reactions, insights, questions, opinions. What are you thinking?
Before the end of the trimester, you’re required to post twice here—once during the first half of your book and once near or at the end. Guidelines for posting? Identify the book’s title, your hour, and your first name with last initial only. Fill the comment box and always, always proofread before sending.

My name is Ashleigh S. My books title is Confessions of a Serial Kisser. I’m in Mrs. Kennedy’s second hour. It’s a really good book so far. I’m about half way through it right now. At first I didn’t think that the book was going to be very good. I mean, the main character is sixteen years old and she had never been kissed (seriously) by a guy before! I seriously thought it was going to be one of those books that ends up being about a girl who gets her fist kiss under the stars and it was so romantic and yada yada yada, blah blah blah.(gag) lol
But it’s not even close to that! All of a sudden she reads this book and is infatuated with getting her first “Crimson Kiss” and how she needs to “live her fantasy”. So she just randomly goes up to guys she doesn’t even know, like random guys in Starbucks, and kisses them. I mean, who really does that?! Come on! It’s a really good though, seriously. I really like the main character, I’m always on the edge of my seat, always wondering what crazy thing she’s going to do next! Can’t wait to finish! See you tomorrow, Bye!

My name is Shana K. I’m in Mrs. Kennedy’s 4th hour. I am reading New Moon. It is the 2nd book in the twilight series. I thought the first book was good and saw the movie and it was good. So I decided to keep reading them. It is good so far. Once I start reading I don’t want to stop. That’s why I am so glad that Mrs. Kennedy doesn’t make us do stupid reading logs because then you have to stop and do that and it’s so annoying. I just like to get a good book and enjoy it, not write about it. Wouldn’t you? Even though not all of you read, I know that, or at least like to read if you have to. So Edward leaves Bella and I think that is sad and stupid. She doesn’t know what to do with herself now. She tries not to think of him, but it’s hard not to. I’m just waiting for Edward to come back because I know he has to, or what else would happen. Because there is not much of a story without the handsome Edward Cullen around. And his family left too. So what’s up with that? Because it’s supposed to be about vampires, but they left, so no vampires. Then what’s it about? Lol(laugh out loud), sorry, I’m rambling on about stuff you probably don’t even care about. Wow, this is long, I didn’t know I could type this much. I’m gonna go now I guess. Hope you liked my comment, bye.

My name is Sarha G. Im in Mrs. Kennedy’s 6th hour. I am reading The choice. I am half way through my book right now. It is a really good book and hard to put down. My book is like the girl next door kinda thing.Travis likes her and is single and Gabby lives next door to him. Gabby has a long time boyfriend who she says she loves. At first even though Travis attempts to be neighborly Gabby seems to have a grudge against him. But they start being friends now. Travis and Gabby started spending time together and they got along really well. Even though Gabby has a boyfriend she loves she keeps liking Travis and thinks he is hot. This book has really become exciting because Travis kissed Gabby and Travis knew she had a longtime boyfriend. I am really liking this book and cant wait to finish it. See you soon, Bye!
