December 6, 2010 Hello, This is Jill. I started reading the book, Sticky Fingers. I don't know how the title relates to the book yet?.. So far it's good, the main character, Jenna is a senior in high school with a perfect 4.0. She got a letter in the mail accepting her into Harvard. She was thrilled, her boyfriend of 3 years did better on his ACT's then her so she thought he would get in for sure! But when her got his letter, he got denied. She was confused and upset, she even thought about not going to Harvard because he wasn't. My opinion is she should base her future on what she wants and not to be with a guy. I think it would smart to go to Harvard because not many people get accepted there, and she may not be with him forever. I wonder what she will choose to do.

November 18, 2010 Hi, this is Jill. I decided to start reading the book, Twilight. I felt like I was the only one of all my friends not to read the series. I am only on page 20 though, I haven't had a lot of time to read because I've been helping my mom move. From what I have read, I can tell it is a great book. The authors words describing everything that is going on make you want to keep reading, Since I'm not very far in the book, I wanted to mention how helpful the proper sentence structures have been to me. I am glad we went over all of that because my writings were not good! Since things have calmed down more, I'll have more time to read for the next blog!

November 4, 2010. Blog 1: Hey this is Jill. I am still working on the book, __Dear John__, by Nicholas Sparks. I haven't had a lot of time to read independently lately, which is sad :( but I am trying to finish it up! It's a great book. I decided to start reading it in the first place because my older sister recomended it to me. I am pretty close to being done with it. It really shocked me when Isabella told John she got married! I could feel his sadness through the words Nicholas wrote. At the point it was hard to put the book down, wondering if she was actually serious!.. She was. I felt bad for John because she is all he could ever think about. I am going to try and finish this book tonight!

Hello, This is Jill Hansen and I am reading the book, __Dear John__, by Nicholas Sparks. I really like this book. Nicholas Sparks is a very good author. In this story, I really like how he describes the characters and the scenes. Isabella sends John a letter often letting him know how things are going with her at school, then he will write back. They were deep in love with each other. This is a book that is very hard to put down once you start. The detail is amazing and I can relate to how she feels missing him while he is at war when my older brother went to Iraq but in a different sort of way.
