Another Library Visit!

Last Monday (November 1st), we went to the library in Reading/ Language Arts and I got The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson. The latter is a ginormous book! It has 700-something pages, and they're all poems! :D I am ecited to read it, but I'm not sure I will be starting it any time soon. I am reading The Hobbit for a bookmark -- yes, a bookmark. Engraved on this place marker are 50 books that are so marvelous that you must read them at some point before you die. I've already read a few of them, but I am going to reread those just because I loved them.

Visited the Library :)

We went to the libarary today in R/LA (Reading/ Language Arts). I got I, Juan de Pareja by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino and The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary Blackwood. They both look like very interesting books, and I can't wait to read them! I've actually read Borton's novel before, so I know that it's really good. Definitely a recommendation :).

I got The Last Song by Nicholas sparks this weekend, and, even though I'm only on chapter 6 - page 63, I am loving the book so far!! I can see why so many people went to see the movie and love the book. Ronnie's character is def rebellious, but I like her; she can be really kind in times of need. Right now, Marcus's character is giving me a terrible first impression with his dirty mind, but Will is amazing. He seems to have known about some Incident, but we don't know what it is yet.. Will have to go read.

Happy Butterfly Walking!,
