In English we have to read a book. There was a choice of one of the following- Z for Zachariah, Tommorow When the War Began, Lord of the Flies, Destroying Avalon and On the jellicoe road. I have read Tommorow When the War Began outside of English and I enjoyed it heaps. I started with the second book because I was on camp and one of my friends had it and it was a very long bus ride so I decided to steal it and read it. The book didn’t make very much sense but I was told mostly about what happened in the first one and was still able to read it. I then read the first book and then continued the series. I read Z for Zachariah first and finished that quickly because it was a small book. I read Destroying Avalon next which took me a little bit longer because the book was longer but I enjoyed it so I read it faster. It was about the effects of cyber bullying but told in a story point of view. It was an intresting read.

We are required to read until the end of the term so I got out another book, On the jellicoe road. I don’t really like the book that much and it doesn’t make much sense at the moment but I haven’t read very much yet because I’m not enjoying it. It is about a year 12 girl, Taylor Markham, and other than that I don’t really know. I think she is trying to find her mum who abandoned her so now she lives at a boarding school. She is the school leader and has to negotiate with other people on where they are allowed to go on the grounds. *insert confusion here* She has really bad dreams/nightmares where a boy is trying to tell her something. I don’t understand the book at all it is very scattered and I’m already 100 pages in. I think I might stop reading it because I’m not enjoying it and no one else has read it so I can’t ask anyone.
