2011 WoW
I can't believe we're already past groundhog day. I have read alot. The book club is reading Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie and are really into it. Do you know what a tom swiftie is? Read the book and laugh and try it, it's fun! As Jada reported, "I'm going to walk my dog, said the man doggedly." More later. I just started reading I Am Number 4 by Pittacus Lore and am fascinated. I think Wesley needs to start a book review page. How 'bout it Wesley? You are an avid reader. Tune in for more details to come.
