Poems and Poets

Hey! I'm writing my last post about the big book summer challenge this year. I have read a total of  8 big books. They are: Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The Book Thief by Markus Zusak City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare City of Glass by Cassandra Clare City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare My longest big book this year was 733 pages. My shortest however, was 416 pages!! I think I did well, this being my first year. I think the only reason I read so many big books this summer is because I was enthralled by Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, of which each book is at least 400 pages. I only hope to read this many books next year. If you are interested, you can sign up for the big book challenge next year. I can assure you that I will !

The Green Envelope I am a word, And so are each one of my friends Together, we form a letter. The bus is the paper, The windows are the stamps, Along with the trees, They form an envelope. The trees and bushes, The plants and shrubs, Form a pretty green envelope for a piece of mail. Green envelopes are the best, Don't you think? They're the ones that preserve the best!
