Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

This blog will be used by students to write reviews. The above title is an example of how books will be listed that are being reviewed. The main posting should include a brief summary without giving away the ending. You are welcome to express your opinions about the book as well. All submissions will be read by the librarian before they are posted for all to view. Please include your first name along with your review. Submit your reviews by clicking on "comments" under the book title you wish to review. If you wish to review a book that is not listed, you may submit that review under any other book in the "comments" section and please include the title and author. We will then create a new posting once your review has been reviewed by library staff.

Example:
"The Five People you Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom
I liked this book. I found it very thought provoking and it made me question who my 5 people would be. Good discussion book.
