Chelsea put this in her blog, and I realized I had read quite a few of the books on the list, and so I decided to do this fun little thing about me:
The rules:
- Look at the list and bold those you have read.
- Italicize those you intend to read.
- Star the books you LOVE.
- Underline books you claimed to have read, but really just listened to your class discussions/oral reports
- Books you started but didn't love and didn't finish = ^

Turns out I'm the opposite of Chelsea, when I start a book, I finish it. Even Charles Dickens!!! I can only think of two books that I've started but not finished, and they're not even on this list. Anyway, this was fun, I hope it wasn't too boring for readers.

Hey, did you watch that synchronized swimmer who plugs her nose with her upper lip so she doesn't have to wear a nose clip?
You should have been a synchronized swimmer!
yeah, go to NBC.com and go to the Olympics page, go to video, and start watching one of the videos.
Once it starts playing, you can enlarge the video player. Do that.
Then on the larger video player, there's a tab on the left that lets you choose any of the sports to watch. Click on Synchronized Swimming, and there are several interviews with Christina Jones (I think). That's her.
I love reading lists, Sarah! I am impressed with your choice of books. Let me know of your recommendations on future reads.
