Post the title of your book, author, and page # that you're on.
We've been learning about flash fiction and the twists, often ironic, that come at the end.
Tell us about a twist in your book that really surprised you. Be detailed and thoughtful so we can understand the twist. Even if you're reading a non-fiction book, there are likely surprises and unexpected occurrences.

Blog #13, DUE: January 13th, 2012
It's been a while -- welcome back to the world of blogging!
Post your book's title, author, and the page # you're on. Feel free to tell us a sentence or two of what your book is about.
What would you say is the overall TONE of your book (or you can choose the tone of a particular chapter)? Make sure the tone you choose is more sophisticated than "sad," "angry," "happy." Give specific details for why you choose that tone.

Blog #12, DUE: Dec. 9, 2011
Post the title/author/page # of your book.
Find a word that you do not know in your novel (if you can't find a word that you do not know, it probably indicates that your book is at a reading level that is much too low for you!).
Post the word (and the sentence that it's in if you can).
Take a guess at what the word means from seeing it in context.
Then look up the definition and post the actual definition (if it's long and confusing, you can put the actual definition into your own words).
