For this summer reading, I read Murder at the Vicarage, The Eyre Affair, and The Metamorphasis. All of these books were decent. My favorite was Murder at the Vicarage. I liked how it was a mystery, but I did not like how all of the characters speculated for 200 pages. It was the same thing over and over. They would specualte, then someone would fin something interesting, and they would specualte with that new interesting item involved in the speculation. I also think it is weird how an old lady can solve the murder mystery but the detectives who do that for a living can't, that seems strange to me. Other than that, it was a decent book.
I also think that I had a good strategy for reading. I read all of my books in the last three days before school. I thought that we would be tested for detail. I was able to do a good job on all of those maps because I read the books almost the day before I was tested on them. I did not even need notes.

It's funny, I'm a beast at procrastinating and I usually read all my books the last few days before school starts, but this year I decided to read them early because i wanted to be a responsible student :) (actually my mom just started yelling at me earlier this year about it lol) I remembered the gist of the stories, but forgot most the details. I didn't annotate either which was dumb of me. When we got those story maps in class asking about all those details, I had to skim through all my books really quickly and pull out bits and pieces. If Ms. Duke hadn't of given us extra time, I'm pretty sure I would have failed.
So what have we learned, procrastination is the key to success (as long as you get the work done of coarse) :p
BTW because you are using a diffrent blog site it wouldn't let me use my blog account so i had to sign in with my old gmail which i never check so don't email me there
