I hope you enjoyed reading the books you've committed to for Independent Reading so far. Here's your first SSR check-in:
Step 1: Create a new POST in which you review one of the two books that you read for the first semester. If you read more than two books this semester, you can choose any of them to review. In your review, be sure to clearly state the title, author, genre, and total page number of the book. Then, summarize a bit of the plot (but don't give away the major spoilers!) to give us some context. Next, discuss what you liked or didn't like about this book.
- Feel free to use these questions to help guide you, but don't feel tied to simply answering them: How was the main character? Did you feel connected? Were the major plot points predictable? How was the writing? Poetic? Simplistic? Were the characters dynamic or static? Did that hurt or help the story? If you were to change anything about the book, what would it be?
Step 2: Once other classmates have posted their reviews, COMMENT on two other reviews. (Be sure to read the comments on your review as well and engage in conversations as necessary.)
As always, your post should be around 250 words and your comments should be at least a few meaningful sentences.

ReplyDeleteAlright guys so in the book Cruel Sacrifice the Main character goes by the name Melinda Love. The book is written by Aphrodite Jones and it is 333 pages long. The book is a true crime book so it is probably the most interesting book I’ve read all year. In the book she has a terrible relationship with her father growing up watching beat her mother. This had all taken place in the 80 ́s in Pennsylvania. Growing up since she had seen her dad be super controlling over her mother that is how she becomes in her relationships. Melinda was always the popular girl in school that everybody wanted to date and be with, but eventually she had become lesbian and fell in love with a girl named Amanda. She had become very obsessive over her and basically didn't let her out of her sight. A new girl named Shanda Sharer had came to the school and everybody now wanted her even her girlfriend Amanda. In the book Melinda had done something that she would regret for the rest of her life. She had secretly went through Amanda´s stuff and found love letters from Shanda to Amanda. Then she had found Amanda´s letters to Shanda. After finding this out she would do another thing that seemed like the right idea for a crazy person like her, but it was far from it. After she had done the deed her life and everybody's life around her had changed forever. The world would change for the worse with her as she got herself caught up in something that wasn’t planned to happen yet it did. She also had dragged three other girls into it with her that didn’t want to be there either. It’s a very intense read, but very interesting I suggest it to anybody into crime books.
