Introductions

[Jared]

Maybe I will check it out sometime....

[Tiffany]

Hi! I'm Tiffany.
I like lots of different kinds of books, and I especially like classics, mysteries, historical fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, and pretty much anything else really good :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi, Tiffer! :)
I am Vennela, nice to meet you!

[Tiffany]

Hi Vennela! Nice to meet you too :D What kinds of books do you like?

[Josiah]

Greetings, all. I am Josiah, and the best book I've ever read is Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.

[Ana Sofía]

really? Most people don't consider that their favorite. But it is a cherished childhood book, after all. :D

[Josiah]

Oh, yes. I've never read a book that affected me more strongly than Charlotte's Web. Incidentally, my second-favorite book, The Trumpet of the Swan, was also written by E.B. White.

[Adriana]

So we know your favorite author (;

[Ana Sofía]

we do indeed. :D

[Josiah]

It was only after reading Charlotte's Web that I figured out, by logical extension of the fact that the two best books I had ever read were both written by E.B. White, that he must be my favorite author. Had I been asked the question prior to reading Charlotte's Web, I probably would have answered that Jerry Spinelli or Barbara Park was my favorite. Possibly even Cynthia Voigt or Irene Hunt.

[Adriana]

Maniac Magee and Wringer are fantastic books by Spinelli. I don't think I have a favorite author. Favorite authors yes.

[Ana Sofía]

is it really? I haven't read it.

[Meg]

It is really good. I've read both the book and seen the movie, which is more kid-oriented than the book is, I think.

[Meg]

To you, too!!

[Meg]

What does that mean?

[Meg]

Thanks for that.

Why thank you for that incredibly deep statement.
Now everyone should make some new year's resolutions.

[Meg]

Okay, I'm going to learn a lot more really long words. And I'm going to learn how to read faster. What about you guys??
Oh, and why are you, Mr. Grammatically-Correct-Man, writing in all caps all of a sudden??

[Meg]

I know you do. So do I, it's just hard to find the appropriate time for them in a normal conversation such as this. Do you have a new year's resolution??

[Adriana]

I have many including reading 95 books this year. How many do you want to read next year?

[Adriana]

How many books did you read this year?

[Meg]

No idea. No where close to as many as you, that's all I know! :D

[Meg]

Hey, wanna wish y'all a very happy new year!!
