There are many types of genres to read: realistic fiction, fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, mystery, romance, horror, historical fiction, biographies, autobiographies, and classics. This year each month you have been asked to read one book from a certain genre. I would like to know what is your favorite genre? Why is that your favorite genre? What book from that genre is your favorite and why? Be as specific as you can. I’m excited to read about the books and genres you each select! Happy blogging!

Conflict-verb-to contend, struggle, fight, clash, antagonize or upset. We have talked about internal and external conflict with the characters in books we have read. I would like you to share a conflict the character is having in your book. Tell us if it is an internal (inward, within themselves) or external (outside of themselves) with another character. Be specific with what you share. Make a prediction on how you think your character will resolve the conflict.
