Blog #9, DUE: Saturday, Nov. 10th
Post the title and author of the book you're currently reading.
Choose a character from your novel and briefly explain who this character is. What is a book that you think this character would enjoy reading? Explain why. Don't give the first, easiest, most obvious answer that pops into your head. Try to dig a little deeper as to what book this character would enjoy.
