why did i choose Witch and Wizard

I chose this book because first of all the cover looked quite interesting to, it is the letter W covered in flames with a black background and at the ends of the flames there are two faces those two faces are the main characters which i thought was cool. When ever i choose a book i normally read the brief summary on the back which i did do with this book. Just reading the first line had intrigued me to keep reading, and when i got to the end it said " And then you were told that everything you loved-- your books, your music, your pictures-- were banned forever". Don't you want to see why everything would be taken from you i know i did.

Another reason why i chose this book is because some of my friends had read it and said it was a great read and that i should take a look at it. Sometimes when others tell me to try a book i don't really like the book that much because it is not my first choice in genre of books. But this book was the exact genre that i love to read, plus once i started reading one the third page there was action happening which doesn't really happen in a book and that was what really made me read this book.

Blog Reflection

Click here to view my best blog post. I think that my post of reading skills follows the rubrics requirements quite well. The rubric say to have in my post a text- to self, world, and text connection; and in my post I had all of them. Here is the text-to-text connection A text-to-text connection is the amount of action and mystery in the first chapter of this book acts like the action and mystery in my summer reading book Just After Sunset. Already in the beginning of each book there was a problem.. Since I had just started the book I had many questions about what might happen in the book.

Next trimester I want to read the next two books of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and see what happens to all the characters. I also want to start to write, free write not long stories, just five minutes a day to practice my writing skills. Another goal I have for reading next trimester is to read more then three days a week, maybe to read five to six days a week. I want to improve my reading skills like how complex the writing/storyline is like.
