I am currently reading The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider. I am only on the 4th chapter but I am enjoying the book so far. I just finished Fire by Kristin Cashore which was a reread.

. I'm having trouble getting into it though. :("I had the same problem which legend too. Along with classes and all the hw that i get it took me about a week maybe longer for me to finish it. I hope you like it though.
I realize that it has been a while since i last posted. I keep forgetting to do these updates with all the hw that i have to do. due to not having any classes today and since i couldn't go to sleep after i woke up at 6 i read
for 4 hours and it kinda sucked. the chapters were sooooo long. I am now readin happier books though ( at least books that i am remotely interested in, I only read this one for a challenge that requested for a book that was set in South America and i got his one). I am now reading
,
,
, and
. I am also waiting on 3 other books from other libraries. I am reading
on my computer and
on my iPod.
I finally finished
after reading it for over a week and now i plan on reading
and
hopefully by the end of the weekend.
I just started reading
and am also reading
in the library in school when I'm in there for my Enrichment periods. :)
Sadly i am working on my first essay for my English 100 class. All we have done so far are paragraphs so this is a little harder for me. I have already finished the introduction and now i am on my 3rd paragraph. the only thing i am worried about is having enough words and my conclusion, so somehow i have to make this last paragraph and the conclusion long enough to make over 900 words which so far doesn't look good right now because the process that i am using for this paper is kind of short. I wish i had chosen a long recipe. I hope to finish this paper tonight so i can read all afternoon and hopefully finish
tomorrow since i only have about 13 chapters left to go. Then hopefully i will tackle
next week. Getting kind of tired of looking at the same books over and over again

Keep in mind that they are focused on getting to the next paper. Any grammar problems causes them to stop reading and correct. It is a bonus to have an interesting paper, but a really crappy content paper with good grammar and sentence structure still gets an A. Why? They did not have to stop reading! The faster they move on to the next, the better the grade. So forget about looking for great content, and focus on the mechanics. Content is the vehicle, but the goal is the destination. A crappy car and a good car both get you there, but the trick is doing it without tickets. With that said, there are subjects that require research, or there are no words to write. It is simply where the time is best spent to get the best review. I hope this helps...the advice is general for English teachers, not so much for this particular paper. Ken

I finally gave up on my paper for a little to finish
and it was okay but not that great. I have also found FanFiction and am reading a great deal about Seto Kaiba from yu-Gi-Oh. I am also reading
. While i am at school i am reading

I finished it a few days ago actually :) I really liked it - my only complaint is that the ending left a lot to be desired and seemed sort of rushed. I might reread the end though because I was pretty exhausted when I read it the first time so none of it really made sense to me at the time.

I picked up the last one because I liked the cover but so far it kinda sucks, I might not finish it.

tis week i have finished
and
and both were pretty good. I decided to check and see if
was on my Overdrive library account and it is so i may or may not finish the book and if i don't finish it by Friday i won't feel bad about it because i can get it online and finish it. I am soooo excited. It has been over 5 weeks since i been to the library and i feel that i will go crazy if i wait another week to go.
since my last post i have read a few books and gotten some more to read. I have finished
,
and
. All three books were very good. I am now trying to finish
but i haven't gotten very far. books i am reading now:
,
, and
books i am going to read during December:
,
,
,
,
,
and
i have been in a reading slump this week. I thin it has to do with exams. Luckily i don't have any tomorrow and i have my last exam on Friday so i hope i get out of this slump because i have too many books planned for this month. I have just finished
after being stuck on it for almost 3 weeks i think. I am now going to finish
hopefully by the end of the weekend so i can start
next week. I will also be reading
.
