We've arrived at week 10, aaahhh---Romance in the Library. Romance is a topic inherently interesting to teens, what with all those hormones blasting at full force. Teenagers are navigating friendships and relationships and they enjoy reading about these situations in books. From sweet romances to sexual encounters, there is a wide range of romantic material to be had.My favorite book website, Goodreads has a fan poll for the Best YA Romance novel. It is no surprise that Twilight heads the list. Although the characters in the book are Vampires and Werewolves, the Twilight series is really a classic tale of a love triangle rather than a horror story. Donna Freitas in her article "Be Still my Heart" for SLJ voted it "Best Extended Foreplay". We watch the passion build between Bella and Edward and are drawn into this love story. Love is a basic human need, and the thrill of a good love story can really put a glow in our hearts.
Nice post! I really appreciate how you are making this blog your own. You do a nice job of ruminating on the topics as well as writing the annotations. Week 9 grade 3
