Welcome!!!!

Welcome to Lit's Blog, where all things literary are fair game! As a middle school Language Arts teacher, one of the many things I'll be using this forum for is to share my opinions on books, both Young Adult, and otherwise, that I've recently read, and hope that you'll jump into the fray with your thoughts, as well! Please visit often, as I'll be adding regularly. Just scan the titles of each blog for the book's name, and let me know what you think!

(Parents: At the end of each blog, you'll find a "book rating", based upon the MPAA ratings (see link entitled "MPAA Ratings Guide"). Since I generally try to read whatever the kids seem to be reading, and encourage my students to read a wide menu of texts, do not be surprised if you see an "R" rating on a title, or two. I will do my best to be as accurate as possible - HOWEVER, this rating is intended only as a guide. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether your child should read the titles listed, or not.)

Breaking Dawn (!!!!!!!!)



In a word (er... textspeak...OMG!!!! (translated "Oh My Gosh!")). Breaking Dawn was, by far, my favorite of the series - even surpassing that of Twilight, which was in itself, an obsession from the moment I turned the first page. Without giving away anything, I think it's safe to say thatStephanie Meyers has accomplished what every author hopes for - a final novel (in a series, that is) that, one way or another, neatly wraps everything up with countless twists along the way. I'd better stop there before I given anything more away. Final word? Read it!!!! PG-13

Oh, dear. I'm a Twilight geek, but I've made myself wait to read this one because I haven't had the opportunity to read it all in one sitting (which I KNOW I'll want to do). Your reaction is making it harder to wait!!! I think that some part of me has been putting off the reading, too, because 1) I don't want "it" to end, and 2) I was afraid this book wouldn't measure up and I'd be disappointed.

(btw-I love my job, but I miss the middle-schoolers and sharing YA lit with them.)
