October 12,2009 Drear Mr. McFadden, Currently I am reading //Catching fire by Suzanne Collins//… still, but it’s a good book and I don’t feel like its worth blowing through. I left of last on page 227 and its as usual… AMAZING! It has about the same pattern as //The Hunger Games,// like when it starts out kind of average then POW it is so much more entertaining. I believe that the conflict of this book is that Katniss has this big collision with the capital. Hope you get a chance to read //Catching Fire// and get as much enjoyment out of it as I have.

Ashley read __The Glass Castle__ during the summer of 2009.
Ashley is currently reading __Eclipse__ by Stephanie Meyer. She is starting the book today, 9/1/09. Ashley's goal is to read 3 books during quarter 1.

Wish list:
The Hunger Games #2 The book I chose to read, the //Glass// //Castle//, By Jeannette Walls is a great book almost anyone could enjoy. I finished it and thought that the end was a tad subtle, as if it ended in the middle of a paragraph. Most of her stories were very exciting; it’s hard to believe some of her memories because in a town like Sheridan you just don’t see a family like the Walls family and the things they attempted to do. The novel is a memoir, which is somewhat like a journal full of memories in story form. Jeanette Walls describes her life from her early childhood starting at about three to when she was thirty. Jeannette Walls lived a very rough life with an alcoholic for a dad and a hippie for a mom. Her brother Brian was definitely her best friend before she got her first job. She also lived in a lot of different grungy places. Believe it or not but she lived in the desert for a portion of her life. I believe that a huge lesson in this book is mainly alcoholism and how it can destroy your family.

Next book I'm reading://The Hunger Games By, Suzanne Collins//

I FINNISHED THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!! it was an amazing book, everyone should read it! i'm really looking forward to reading the sequal of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But i have to wait to read Catching Fire, I have to read the rest of Eclipse by Stephenie Meyers. I HAVE TO READ CATCHING FIRE BEFORE TAYLOR!!!!!
