I liked how you added a whole movie about the book you are reading. That will keep viewers interested in your blog. Also, I like how you added lots of pictures. It makes the blog creative.
ReplyDeleteI have not read the book "The Right Stuff." Your posts are very well - written and convincing so the next book I am going to read is "The Right Stuff." Your blogs are very detailed and explains plot, summary, and characters really well which makes me want to read your book.
I suggest you to read "Whale Talk" because it is about a high school swim team and you like swimming so it would be the perfect book for you.
