Mark’s Comments (group member since Feb 28, 2012)

Mark’s comments from the Can't Stop Reading Group group.

By previewing the book one can clearly see that we will be following a girl through many memories of her childhood into early adulthood. I thought it would be a fun activity if we could upload some images of ourselves onto our photos section depicting memories of our childhood. I will be uploading an example over the weekend.

Here is a good video depicting changes in apparance overtime.

You can post the pictures in our photo section.

Good afternoon, I hope everyone’s week has gone well. With summer fast approaching I thought that we should create a reading schedule on how to read the book.
The book is 256 Pages long. As an alternative to visually reading the book I can upload a 5 hour audio book onto our message board which means if you listen to one hour of the book each night we can be done reading the book in one school week! Let me know if you would be interested in the audio book option or have any other schedule alternatives.

Have a good weekend,
Mark

You can post any general comments about the book in this thread.

For example:

Here we can post some fun facts about any topic it could be related to anything including reading. Once we pick out a book we will be posting fun facts about that in a separate thread. Please keep it clean or I'll close the topic.
