Hello faithful readers! I'm back! School has started and I am completely wiped out! Middle School is very, very different from Elementary School, that much is true. I wish summer didn't have to end....at least it's a Friday! :)
Anyway, are any of you readers out there planning on joining Battle of the Books? I sure am! For those of you who don't know what it is, Battle of the Books (BOB) is a tournament between schools in a county that compete to see which school knows the books on the list better. Basically, you read books and answer clever questions in a tournament. For example a judge might ask your team "In which book did a character sneeze, creating a chain reaction around the store?" You would answer and they would either give you points or move on to the next team.
It may sound easy at first, but it is somewhat difficult. In elementary school you need to read about 18 books and in middle school, you need to read about 28 books. (I say ''about'' because sometimes they take off 1 or 2 books) Because I read so much, I'm addicted to this program. It really is cool!
Remember my earlier update, about Legend? Well, guess what? Legend is on the BOB list! Now I have an excuse to read it over and over again! (Not that I need one anyway.......) BOB really can show you about some awesome books!
That's it for today guys! Hope you have a great weekend and survive school next week!
And remember, READ, READ, READ!
