Book Log and Wiki Checklist

Book Log and Wiki Checklist

Reading Log for 25 books (to paste into your blog in at the end of the term)

• Instructions: List the titles and authors you read under each Genre, and use checklist below for Wiki posts. Then, highlight this material and paste it into a final blog post. I have already included (in the 25) the ones we read for discussion. Feel free to read more in each genre as you make time. Failure to read and list at least 25 books will results in grade being lowered one letter.
