Book Club!

        

        Wow so this is gonna take forever to upload so i might as well give you guys a good description ... So this week i went ice fishing and i was thinking i don't really have a favorite author anymore or a favorite book so i came up with an idea for a blog like a book club ... We could read books with awards so that way we know they will be good ( well at least other people think they are) And we would spend two weeks reading them, i post every week so we would have an in between where we can discuss the first half of the book, but those who read ahead please don't reveal spoilers ... also i will look out for awesome words that are rarely used so some people may bot know what they mean and i will give the real definition and somehow you guys could send me a fake definition ( like baulderdash) i will add the entrys along with mine and make a poll on them ... who ever gets the most votes in 24 hours gets to pick the next book we read and looks for the next definition. I was also thinking we could watch movies for the books that have them ... i know "the lightening thief" by rick riordan i think that how you spell it is going to theaters, and i wouldn't mind reading that book again, i first read the first three of his series in 8th grade they tie in well with greek mythology if you guys are studying that sort of thing, they helped me remember the greek gods and what they stood for, for English( ugh ... Mrs. Johnson, but thats another story) also in march there is" alice in woderland", "robin hood" in may,  "Eclipse" in June :( but if you guys want to ... ok, In December the new narnia movie comes out, we could also watch movies already out on dvds just leave them in the suggestions. For the first book im asking you guys for suggestions and ill put them in a poll and we can vote. My suggestion is "Speak," i haven't read it yet just the first few pages, but it seemed okay and it looked short. It also has one the Printz award which is awarded for excellence in young literature i think.  IDK who its buy write now but ill put it up l8er on the poll. Also im going to make a page counter for the group so we can see how many pages we have read this year both individually and collectivley ... if i cant find a widget ill just post the two figures below
% Annoyed With School: 19% ( i have that project thing)
# Of Times Called Nile: 208
Song of The Week (SOW): Together We'll Ring In The New Years (it's not about New Years it about a break up but i really like a line in the song that says " I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning")
Till Next Time ....
