This Semester I've read a few books. Among them are Help for the Haunted, Under the Dome, Angel in the Country, and I'm currently reading The Universe versus Alex Woods. I tend to choose my books by whatever interests me at the time. When reading Angel in the Country I was interested in my family history. When I was reading Under the Dome I was interested to see how different it was from the book (and it turns out that the two are so different they might as well be two totally different stories.) and it sounded interesting and the 1000+ pages was a challenge I wanted to beat. When picking Help for the Haunted I was interested in ghosts at the time so the tital and story was very appealing for me.

Overall this semester I tried my best to get the blog posts in on time. I wasn't used to blogging at the beginning and wasn't quite sure what I should say. I was trying to make a good post but wasn't sure exactly what to put. Also, I am not the best with anything techy and actually had to have a friend come to my house and help me get things set up. As the semester continiued, I became more used to blogging and started to find my way around things a little bit. More importantly I became a bit more confident with my posts. I had a blast blogging all sorts of theories on who built the dome while reading Under the Dome and in the end the dome had nothing to do with anyone who I thought was behind it. Even further into the semester I became more confident with my posts and using my voice in them. I added pictures along with my links and started to enjoy blogging more.I also think some of my posts agree with the excellent blog example by "sometimes uses a variety of syntactical structures and effective diction".

In the next semester I plan to take bloging more seriously. I was just geting warmed up this semester and now that I've dipped my toe in the water I can jump in. I want to blog about more books and use more pictures and links. I also plan to update goodreads more and add widgets to my blog- I couldn't quite figure out that techy part as well. Now that I have become used to blogging I feel I can make better quality posts. I also really want to make them on time and keep up with my comments a lot better than what I did this semester. Overall I plan to make each post on time and with even better quality just like the example of a perfect blog post.
