Now, what about you? Are you going to allow AR to bully you, own you?! Looking at some of your points last year, um . . . yeah, he did. Not this year, though! Let's get after him and show the 8th grade and all of Walkertown that Executives eat AR points for breakfast!
Right out of the gate: J. Barnes carrying 19 points already!! Are you kidding me?! Her back may be hurting soon from carrying all of those points! Z. Hill and L. Lynch coming in strong with 10.7 and 9.9 points, respectively. Don't leave out J. Holcomb's 6 points! C. Gray also tallied a point today! They all add up, one here, one there.
23 points by noon on October 8 gets you into the AR Hawaiian Beach Bash!
Set yourself up for success: be prepared to read at school every day and at home three nights a week. AR has arrived, baby! Be ready for various competitions. It's on!!!! Feel my passion, scholars?!Where's yours?
Yours truly,
MK

You'll have 127 pts. before fall break, K. Overstreet. Hurry up and finish GONE WITH THE WIND, so we can move on to more current novels! :-)
MK
PS: Wake vs. Carolina battle is in the works; expect its proposal Monday!

T. Young
Sweet! What are you reading now, T. Young? You WILL get tons of AR points this year. Remember, just keep chipping away at them; we want reading to be easy AND fun! :-)
MK
PS - You're doing a GREAT job so far!

D.Mann
Mr. K, I'm going to kill you in AR points. My goal this year 200 points. Im already reading a good book and it is about 350 pages, I should be done sometime next week.
"Hello, Mr. Kittner, I am going to crush you in a.r. points this year because I already got it in the bag. . . . You better watch out for my exquisite skills in reading."
D.Mann
Oh yeah, D. Mann? I tell you what, your reading skills may be "exquisite," but mine are tireless. Be ready for a challenge!
M. Kittner
You are going to get beat in AR points so bad this year that it won't be funny! How come you don't have any points yet? Oh, I know you are scared!

Whether novels are current or not...they're worth reading... Gone With the Wind brought over 176,000 readers a year after it was released in 1936 and the numbers continued to rise as the years went on. Later that year it recieved the Pulitzer Prize.
In 1939 the film was first shown and over 2,153,000 copies of the book had been sold and translated into sixteen different languages. Gone With the Wind is one of the most classic books written about that time era.
I've watched the movie over and over again and now I want to read the book...
I like to read old-fashioned things (My mom always tells me I was born about 60 years late)...and after Gone With the Wind, I'm reading the book from Rhett Butler's point of view.
K.Overstreet
P.S.
Have you ever read the book/seen the movie?
"I like to read old-fashioned things (My mom always tells me I was born about 60 years late)...and after Gone With the Wind, I'm reading the book from Rhett Butler's point of view."
K.Overstreet
Wow. That demonstrates incredible maturity on your part, K. Overstreet! Just as you do, so too do I enjoy vintage movies: CASABLANCA is my favorite, but I like anything with Humphry Bogart in it.
As for books, however, I kind of take an opposite approach: I enjoy authors that dip their feet into motifs of the furture: MICHAEL CRICHTON & LOIS LOWRY come to mind.
Given your penchant for old-fashioned things, I believe you will truly enjoy MONTMORENCY: THIEF, LIAR, GENTLEMAN, set in the backdrop of Victorian London. We'll read it in the 4th quarter.
Keep reading, K. Overstreet. Remember, I'm gunning for you in AR! :-)

M. Birnbaumer
Sweet! I thought you would enjoy Sarah Dessen's motifs and themes, M. Birnbaumer! In my personal library, I have many authors whose novels deal with the exact genre you mentioned in your post. We'll talk about them, and you can add the novels to your Someday Book list! :-)
I'm glad your enjoying SOMEONE LIKE YOU! Keep reading! :-) I'm proud of you!

S. Schuster
"I can't wait to read all of the Shopaholic books this year!!!Cofessions Of A Shopaholic (movie)

S. Schuster
As you know, S. Schuster, the movie will be absolutley horrible to those of us who have read the novels -- as is normally the case.
That said, I can't wait for you to read all of the SHOPAHOLIC books, too!
M. Kittner
