I finally got around to posting my reading list! Sorry for the delay, but it's finally here, and I hope you'll find some good reads on it.
Your homework for this week is to check it out and I'd also like you to do the following:
1) Read the reviews to at least three of the books/comics listed below, if you click on the title it'll send you straight to their goodreads page. At the bottom of each of these pages you'll find the reader's reviews. (Be careful with SPOILERS!) You can also find more customer reviews on Amazon.
2) Once you have chosen a book, print the review that helped you decide (if you don't have a printer just bring it on your mobile phone) You'll have to tell the class why you chose that particular book and not the other two.
3) Underline or highlight some vocabulary in the reviews that would be useful for your writing task
