2nd Quarter Post A!!!!!

I decided to letter my posts this time because it's different and therefore exciting. Okay, not really but bear with me here. I'm tired. I started reading A Northern Lights by Jennifer Donnelly this week. It looks like it's going to be good. There is a very strong female lead named who is about my age who has to take care of her family because her mother died. I think I'll be able to relate to her character a lot because there was a period of time in my life when I kind of had to take care of my family because my mom couldn't. But anyways...There's also the dad who seems to be somewhat feared by the rest of the family because he punishes them with his belt when they misbehave, but I guess that's just his way of disciplining them so it's not that bad. And then there's Mattie's sisters who seem like the typical siblings: annoying and constantly fighting, yet still lovable. These are the only characters I've met so far, but based on them, I think I'm really going to like this book.
