Today is the last day of 2010 and for my New Year’s Resolution I have created this blog…not. In reality, I have created this blog for an Honors English independent reading project. We were instructed to read a book of our choosing. Once that book was read, one of our choices for a project was to post at least five comments about our book on a blog. Since it is somewhat awkward to write on a random person’s blog, a few of my friends and I decided to create our own blog. It started out as a Jane Austen blog, since we were all reading different Jane Austen novels. When talking about it to some of my other friends, an interest was shown and it has thus evolved into an overall Honors 11 blog. Though I can hardly expect everyone to have the same love of Jane Austen novels as I do, I did sneak in a few Jane Austen touches. If you were not familiar with Jane Austen, they probably will go unnoticed. The title of the blog was derived from a quote from the book Persuasion, which just happens to be the book I have read for this assignment. So, I welcome you to my blog, which is available to anyone who wants to use it. You can comment about your own book or even someone else’s book. There may be a way to have possible authors, but I have not quite figured it out. I guess we will just have to see how this works out.
