The Books That I have Read So Far

The Course "Brilliant Books."

In this new Elements System I have chosen the course called "Brilliant Books." Brilliant books is basically a Book Club that offers students with the opportunity to read a certain amount of books in a matter of time. While I'm in this course our aim is to read 8 books until the end of December. The books that we have to read involve the books that have been chosen by young readers around the world which have rated them the best! I am really excited about this course because it will give me the opportunity to read more and to improve my reading speed. Brilliant Books also provides us with the chance to have presentations using the new world-wide method called "Pecha Kucha."

Books, Books Books!

I have read a few of the books in which we need to read by the end of the course. So far I have completed reading "Wonder", "The Weight of Water" and I am now reading "Midwinter Blood." All of these books were great and a really quick read! I really enjoyed them and I am really proud of myself from finding the time to read these books because they were truly worthwhile. The best of the books that I have read so far was definitely"WONDER" because I changed the way that I think towards people of special needs and deformities. This book is also one of the many books that have changed my world because looking at the way people in the book treated August Pullman, now if I see someone bullying another person, I won't be a bystander an stand up for the person being bullied. It is an amazing story as it ranges from different character's points of view of August Pullman involving his friends and family. This is very interesting as the storyline isn't just told from one person, but many. Therefore, this makes the story more fun and not as boring as some other books!
