Reading:Try and read everyday for 30 minutes. On Friday, tell me how many pages/chapters you read this week and how you broke it up (example: I read 4 times this week for 45 minutes and read 12 chapters). If you needed to finish your current novel by May 8th, how many pages/chapters would you need to read each day? (I could finish my novel by May 5th by reading 30 minutes for the next 8 days).

Try to read up to 30 minutes each day this week(you can break it up into smaller times if it helps...like twice for 15 minutes). I have recieved one completed reading letter so far, yay! This week, even if you are not finished your novel, I would love to hear what you are reading in an email. (My email address is: christina.savoy@nbed.nb.ca) Tell me the title, who the author is, how many pages it has, what page you are on and what do you think about it so far. Just a few sentences like this:
I am currently reading Donut Go Breaking My Heart by Suzanne Nelson. The title is pun-y (pun: a play on words- they use the word donut because it is about a donut shop, instead of do not) which I love! It fits in with my second last novel (an ebook) that was about a mystery whose main character worked in a pastry bakery. Hmmm...I see a theme developing here! I only started last night so I am only on chapter 2. It has 270 pages, but the words and spaces are bigger so it is not overwhelming.
Happy reading!
