Journal 9

What did I learn from yesterdays MEL assignment? I learned that it's actually really easy to find books, let alone books that interest me. I don't think i've decided on a topic...? I forgot what the topic was for, and I forgot what kinds of topics.. I know that you have to use credible sources in order to make something more believeable, if you use sites that aren't you can't support anything you believe in.

Journal 8

Over break I was looking forward to having fun, and not doing my homework. Hanging out with my friends, like going up to see Britt. Going ice skating, going sledding. All the fun winter stuff I used to do when I was younger. I did go out and do alot of stuff but I also got sick.

MEL Assignment

List three books that intrest you for your choice reading book; including and a brief description of why you chose them.

I chose Something Like Summer by Jay Bell, it's about a young boy who struggles with the challenges of being a homosexual, who meets a guy that he loves but isn't what he expected, they hope to stay together through all the pressures of society and thier families. I chose this because love stories interest me and it caught my eye.

Home Sweet Home by Kim Watters is about a girl whoes grandparents left her their old bed and breakfast inn, realizing how stressful it can be she hires a man who had a buisness before and his buisness partner cheated alot of people out of money so alot of people don't like him. But he can help her reach her dream. I chose this because I thought the story would be different but it was something I didn't expect and ended up liking it.

Diamond Bay by Linda Howard is about a young widow who lives on a bay in Florida and a gunshot wounded man washes up on shore so she takes him in and heals his wounds and finds out he's a government agent who is now a target of the people he used to work with. I picked this one because I like stories that have some mystery to them, but also romance.

I feel very confident using this, makes it easy to find books that interest me.
