Post #6

Hello everyone! I hope you've had a good week. As you know, I've been debating on whether or not to continue my reading of the Shack or stop and switch to another book. After reading about 2 more chapters and talking to my English teacher, I've decided to switch books. I'm torn between two books right now, Dolly by Dolly Parton (autobiography) or A Room Made of Windows (novel). If you have read either of these books please comment below and let me know what your opinion is on them. I'm leaning more towards the Dolly Parton autobiography because I absolutely adore Dolly Parton and I have from a very young age. I hope you have a great week and please comment! :) 

Post #5

Hello everyone! This is my fifth blog post so far and I think this whole thing is going good so far. As you know, I am reading The Shack. I have been quite busy this week, so I haven't been able to read as much as I would have liked to. As you may recall in my last post, I mentioned the plot starting off somewhat slow. So far, in the bit I have read this week, the plot is still just dragging along. I'm not sure if it is just me, or the book, or what, but things are still just moving very slow. I am the type of reader that has to be introduced to an exciting thing very early in the book, but that is just me. Some things in The Shack may be very interesting and exciting to others, but not me. I am having a very hard time staying interested in the book, I thought that I would really enjoy it from what I had heard from others, but I am not loving it. I am seriously considering just stopping my reading of the book and switching to something else. I feel that books are like clothes, you have to try them on to see if they will fit, and this book isn't fitting very well. I will keep you posted on my decision about switching books and what I am feeling towards The Shack within the next week. Thanks so much for reading! Have a good week everyone! :)

Post #4: The Shack So Far

Hello! Time for another post. I have been reading The Shack for about 4 or 5 days now and it is going a bit slow. It just seems as if not much has happened yet, but I must keep in mind that I am only a bit into the book so far. The main conflict hasn't yet been introduced from what I can tell and the overall book itself just isn't turning out to be how I thought. Again, I am only so far into the book so more is going to happen with the plot, but for now, I am not digging on this book as I thought I would. My English teacher said that it was a great book, and so did my dad, but I just can't see it yet. I asked my dad about it and he said that it seemed to start out slow to him as well, so I am glad I'm not the only one. I will keep the blog updated with my progress in the book and if things are picking up plot wise. If you have read The Shack please comment and let me know if it seemed to start off slow to you as well, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for reading and I will post soon! Toodles! :)

Post #3: Predictions about The Shack by William Paul Young & Why I Am Going to Read It

  The next book that I plan on reading is called The Shack by William Paul Young. From what I have heard, the book has to do with some murder and mystery which is right up my alley. I love all things creepy and weird. I'm not really sure what to expect but I am predicting that there will be some sort of major conflict that helps the main plot of the story to develop. I also think that there are going to be some flashbacks to before the murder.
  I have also heard that there is a strong father-daughter relationship present to this book and that is important to me on a personal level because I am very close to my dad. Overall. I am excited to get into this book and see what happens. I am going to read this book because it seems like something I would really enjoy and because this book has been recommended to me multiple times by many different people.  I will update my progress once a week with a brief summary of the chapters I have read and what not.
