What is the THEME of your book?
Who are the MAIN CHARACTERS?
Which character has GRABBED YOUR INTEREST THE MOST? Why - what has the author done to create the character so that this is the one you notice the most?

What Are You Reading During The Holidays?
Hi everyone!
I hope you're all having a fantastic holiday and taking time to read the wonderful books you chose in the last week of term.
Tell us about what you are currently reading - don't forget to include your name, the title of the book, the author(s) and tell us your opinion of the book.
Would you recommend this book to others? Why? Who would the book suit - who would be interested in reading it?
I'm really looking forward to reading your thoughts and commenting back to you.
At the moment I'm doing a lot of reading for my university work, but I've also found time to read a lot of interesting articles online and a couple of non-fiction books too. Making time for reading is always important and it's fantastic to see how important all of you are making it in your lives!!
Remember, the more you read, the more fantastic a reader you will be. I am so proud of the effort you are putting into your learning and, in particular, your reading!! Not only is this great for you academically, reading is just one of the best hobbies / interests you can have.
Afterall, what other hobby allows you to escape to other worlds and create your own movie in your head??!! Fantastic!!!!!
Read anything and everything you can!

New Literature Circle Books
Hi everyone
Today you'll spend a bit of time reading your new Literature Circle books. Think about the following questions and then add your thoughts as a group.
Remember to add your names to your comments and include the title of the book your group is reading. Don't forget to think about what your audience needs to know - what you need to include in your comments - so that they understand what you mean. Please also keep an eye on those surface features - all part of reader courtesy.
