March Reading Log
I have decided to write my reading reflections, just like I ask you to do. You are welcome to comment about my reading, or to write about yours.
I’ve read two books already in March. The first one was called “Stop that Girl”. It was a bunch of short stories put together into a novel. The stories were all about a girl named Ann, from the time that she was a young girl until she grew up and had her own child. Some of the stories were both moving and funny, so I liked them. My big complaint about the book was that it was sort of jumpy. The author left out lots of important events. For example, Ann brings her mother and grandmother together after they have fought for many, many years. But, we never get to see it happen. That disappointed me.
The other book I read was “Small Steps” by Louis Sachar. Thanks to Ashley for lending it to me! It’s the brand new sequel to “Holes”, which many people have read. I really liked it a lot. It’s about two of the minor characters from “Holes”, X-Ray and Armpit. I thought the characters were very credible, even when the situations were pretty unbelievable. It was very exciting and it had a nice message about trying to improve your life and what’s really important.
Now, I need to correct a lot of papers before the progress reports, so I will try to get my work done before I reward myself with a new book.
