Reading and Researching

OK so this week my research hasn't really had too much time spent on it... but I:

worked on my paper outline Monday and Tuesday for about an hour total out of class time.
worked on revising some of the annotations after the notes we took in class and after our groups went over the outline I worked on that a little for about 40 minutes total.

My reading this week:

Deadly Little Secret- Laurie Faria Stolarz, 272 pages, 215 minutes
Deadly Little Lies- Laurie Faria Stolarz, 70 pages, 1 hour

    The first book, Deadly Little Secret, is about this girl, Camelia, who almost gets hit by a car but this mystery guy saves her.  She feels bad later because she never got to thank him and then stuff happens that you'll have to find out if you read this book.
     I really liked this book because of the word choice of Stolarz and how she writes so that you're flipping the pages to see what will happen and you feel like you're there.  Parts of it were scary and it is similar to Twilight but instead of the being scared of the evil vampires, its more of a real-life fear-- being scared that someone is in your house from the noises you heard or getting taken-- but the book is SO good! It's an adventure to read and I am excited to hopefully finish the series, even if I get a little scared:)

  1. Deadly Little Secret sounds like an interesting book. I can't decide if I would like to read that or not. Good job on your paper and outline though!
