We will also be signing up for our December book talks on the 30th, so come prepared with your agenda and an idea of when you'd like to present!

Book talk ideas:
*The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
*Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
*Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick
*The Lottery Rose by Irene Hunt
*Peak by Roland Smith

We will also begin our novel study of The Pearl by John Steinbeck once we return from Thanksgiving break. This is a quick novella that (to quote the back of the book) "explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love." I can't WAIT to hear what you all have to say about this story!

Have a great Thanksgiving and I'll see you all on Monday!
