I tend to be lazy about things like that but you've inspired me to give it a try! I just finished reading Fire by Kristin Cashore last weekend and it was such a satisfying book! I enjoyed it even more than Graceling.Anna Staniszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316883819771607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439710678680377391.post-7515853904952023092009-10-23T15:49:58.937-04:002009-10-23T15:49:58.937-04:00Casey--I love the reading journal, and it is an in...Casey--I love the reading journal, and it is an indispensible tool. That said, many times I am flipping through my books in the library parking lot, mumbling to myself, trying to find my favorite quotes before I return the books. So, I haven't quite gotten into the habit. But I do love having the information at my fingertips.Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439710678680377391.post-39452890106693619142009-10-23T15:33:03.643-04:002009-10-23T15:33:03.643-04:00Beautiful!

She had kept one for years and was able to read us quotes that had impacted her life or spoken to her at key times in her life. I really should start one!Casey Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596079290053524103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439710678680377391.post-58805381186689532012009-10-23T14:05:52.028-04:002009-10-23T14:05:52.028-04:00Paul--I love that imagery--"I'm trying to...Paul--I love that imagery--"I'm trying to shine a light through each of them.

Thanks for bringing the idea back to the surface. I read so many books that I can't remember them all. I, too, bring stacks of books home from the library.<br /><br />I just finished reading Han Nolan's A summer of Kings, set in the sixties, a civil rights story rich with character and conflict, edgy and poetic.<br /><br />In my WIP I've got six eighth graders for characters. I'm trying to shine a light through each of them. The beams cross, come together, run parallel. <br /><br />"Looking for little truths and exposing weaknesses"--Thanks for that thought. It is mostly what I'm doing right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
