Books by type

The book that I read was called Not My Type by Melanie Jacobson, it has 225 pages. It took me a little under a month to finish this book.

When Pepper (main character) gets her wedding called off by her fiance (Landon)her parents paid off the debt from the wedding. Pepper quickly forgave him really fast then they got engaged again for the second time. Then Landon broke it off again but this time her parents didn't want to help pay off the debt. Another lesson that I learned is to chase your dreams no matter what. She has been working at Handy's sandwich shop.

I pose this question, because some of my text books, mainly the text books on technological systems and programs were published 4 to 5 years ago, the world of technology moves so fast that by the time a book on technology is published it is already out of date. Is it at all possible for text-book to be able to keep up with the constantly changing technology that is being…

The next time my class went to the library I found myself a chapter book that looked interesting and then I got in line to check it out.

result I could never give a proper summary. However, my attitude on reading first started to change in middle school and once I got to high school I learned how to deeply analyze a book. Learning how to pick apart a novel gave me a whole new insight on the importance of novels and what type of knowledge those novels could give me.

fascinating to see how your interests change throughout the years. By thinking back through the years about the types of books you have read, you can see what got you where you are today. When I was really young, my parents would always read to me; even when I couldn’t understand what was going on. They continued to read to me up to the ages of picture books and pop-up books. After a while, I eventually learned to read by myself, with much help from my parents. Once I learned, I…
