Reading Log 7

I was able to get some good reading done in my Nicholas Sparks "The Rescue" I'm at where they are talking. He asked her questions about her. And she asks questions about him. They are getting to know eachother very well. They held hands while they talked. He said in the book, "He wanted to tell her that she had something inside her, something impossibly rare, womething he'd looked for in the past but had never hoped to find. He wanted to ssay all these things but found that he couldn't." This part really stood out to me. This is such an amazing book!

This is a really great childrens book. I was also able to read a little bit more on the rescue book but not much. It is a very good book.

Reading Log 5

Well I started off the week by reading the sunday paper. I read all of the ads like I always do. I always think that the DEAR ABBY articles are interesting. In this the journalist answers questions from people. Everyday is something new. I dont remember what Sundays question was but they are always fun to read. During the week I glanced at the wichita eagle and she had an article about how a daughter thought her mom was to  tough on her. By not letting her stay out, tell who she's hanging out with, phone numbers to all the people she was going to be with, obeying her rules even if she lives with her past 18, etc, etc. Abby the journalist replys to be thankful she has such a wonderful mom. She them goes on to tell her that she will thank her in the future.

Today I again read my Praxis Series ETS book to study for my upcoming reading test. Which is this weekend. And my math test which is next weekend.

I got a few pages read in "The Rescue" but nothing new happened in the few pages I was able to read. A great book.

Reading Log 4

I started the week by reading some children's books. I read many of them for about 30 minutes. A few days after that I continued reading "The Rescue." I read about 3 chapters. Denise starts tells Taylor her feelings and what made her happy. She told him how she know her son Kyle is difficult but she wouldn't trade him for anything. After she's done explaining what makes her happy he holds her hand. This is when their relationship takes a turn. Taylor is starting to like Densise. Just like she is liking Taylor. I'm about half way through my book.

I again am studying for my Praxis 1 test. I told the practice test, and I'm ready to take the test now. This practice book is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone.

Reading Log 3

I started off reading on Sunday. I read a little bit of the sunday paper. I always like to read all the ads and see if any stores have any sales. The ads that I always look at are kohls, and jcpenneys. That night I was only able to read my book "The Rescue" for like 20 minutes so there wasnt anything big that happened. On Wednesday I read some childrens books. I read Amelia Bedila's first day of school, and junie b. jones and the stupid smelly bus. This junie b. jones book was always my favorite book as a kid. I would read it over and over again.

Today I was able to read my book I just bought "Praxis 1"  I bought this book on the ets.org website. I learned alot of information. Im taking my Praxis 1 test soon. This book is very organized, and in the book each section has an example of a question on the test. After it talks about all the tests reading, math, and writing it has practice tests for you to do. Im still in the process of reading the sections. But I will be taking the practice tests soon.

Reading Log 2

To start off this Sunday I started reading my bridal magazine "REAL SIMPLE weddings." In the magazine it talked about the timeline, the budget, location, guests, attendants, invitations, attire, flowers, vows, photos and video and food. The one thing that stood out to me was the timeline. There was a planning calendar that could be used up to fifteen months before your wedding. There was a box so you can check off when you have that part done. I really liked that. I purchased a bridal notebook to do at barnes and noble a few months ago, and as I am planning my wedding I just add things in there. It has everything from the proposal, to where proposed at, location of wedding, flowers, etc. There was also alot of real weddings in this magazines. For example they have many pictures of people having real weddings everything from their ceremony, flowers, decorations. I pretty much read the whole magazine.

Today I started reading more on my book "The Rescue" by Nicholas Sparks. For starters I didnt give a description of the characters last week.

Denise Holton: Mother who cares for her son Kyle. Once a teacher, now a full time mom trying to teach her son how to talk.

Kyle: Son who is not able to speak well.

Taylor McAden: Volunteer fireman who finds Denise Holton and her son Kyle in a car crase.

Judy McAden: Taylors mom who becomes close friends with Denise.

Mitch: Taylor's friend.

Whats happened so far since the last time I read: Judy came over to visit with Denise. Judy starts to tell her stories of when her mother and her were younger. (Judy and Denise's mom were friends when they were young, it never mentions her mothers name) her mother and father are dead. Then Judy mentions to her that there is a fair this weekend and they should come. Denise decides to go to the fair. She doesn't really go to meet new people, or for Judy. So goes to see Taylor. She is starting to like Taylor. Taylor is the only one who seems to want to be with Kyle. While at the fair Taylor takes the time to throw a baseball, and lets him steer his truck. This is a main point in the text where she realizes that how much what he has done for Kyle has touched her in her heart. She is starting to fall for Taylor. Kyle her son suffers a disease. He has CAPD which is a Auditory Processing Disorder. He cant process the things her hears because his ears and brain doesnt work together. More for the story after he takes them home from the fair he stays for tea, and asks if her and Kyle would like to go again on a date tomorrow to the fair to ride rides. And they do.

Heres some info that I got off the Nicholas Sparks website nicholassparks.com that I thought was interesting to share. This book was his first book to be #1 on the New York Times Best Seller. When he wrote this book he suffered writers block, and the main character was named the producer in the movies Message in a bottle, and a walk to remember.
