Blogger of the Week: Book Glog

I enjoyed reading all of your Glogs and seeing the wide-variety of books you read. I would encourage you to look through your classmate's blogs to see the books they read. Perhaps you will be inspired to read a book that one of your classmates read. I would also encourage you to go back and comment on your classmate's blogs.

There were many outstanding Glogs this week to choose from. Here are the Bloggers (or Glogsters?) of the week:

4th Hour
Cody read Knots in My Yo-Yo String
Bailey read To Live Again

5th Hour
Katie read Precious
Justin read The Dragon Heir

7th Hour
Natalie read The Red Pyramid
Tyler W read Trials of Death (I am going to sleep with the light on after seeing this Glog!)
