This whole week i have been doing nothing but reading. The series that i finished this week was the series called the Summer I Turned Pretty. The series was fantastic. The writing was really good, and how she wrote each of of the books was amazing it was cool the technique she used for the timeline was she would jump back and forth from present and past, and then at the end of the book she would give you a little detail of what the future would hold. After you read that little segment of the future you just could not turn away from the series.
Another thing that i have been reading are the poems. It is interesting because i would never really consider reading poems and enjoying them. But, to my surprise i do enjoy reading the poems, and finding the techniques that the author is using to try and get his/her point across. I have to admit my favorite poem so far has been "Player Piano". The reason why i enjoyed it so much was because she used so many assonances and consonances. It was fun reading it aloud also, it was sort of a tongue twister!

Wow, that's a lot of reading! Good work noticing the timeline. But be careful - the sentence where you describe it is a "fused" or run-on sentence.
