Conroy's newest novel, South of Broad, just made it to paperback and I bought it and read the 600 page novel in a few, short days. It was fascinating. The setting is Charleston and he describes the sunsets, the marsh, the beautiful houses "south of Broad" with such great detail that the reader feels completely present. Conroy is one of the greatest story tellers to ever live and this novel deals with the immense and decade-spanning friendship of a group of misfits in Charleston in 1969. I laughed and cried as I went on a journey with Mr. Leo King. Conroy elicits true emotion... as only the best authors can.
Do any of you have favorite authors? If so, share some of their works with us.

I just wanted to start off by saying congratulations for getting an autographed copy of the book. That is so awesome. I wanted to tell you that the book South of Broad sounds very interesting. I do like Stephenie Meyer. She wrote all of the Twilight series. I just love the series so much.
Dear Mrs. Yearta,
That book looks wonder full and it seems so interesting. Will you let me borrow it?
Sincerely,
Mesha
Im glad you got your book signed Mrs.Yearta. I are so many books that I have read I dont really know the author's name! It sounds intresting during summer I will look for it and maybe check it out.
That is amazing that you got an autographed book! I'm sure that's something you'll hold on to forever. I like many authors. I'll list some of them: Lois Lowry, Gordon Korman, Jerry Spinelli, Stephenie Meyer, and many more!
mrs yaerta you are lucky you got aoutgraphed in a book lucky you
I think I would have to say my favorite author is Erin Hunter. What is interesting about Erin Hunter is that it is a pen name for three people that collaborate to write Warriors and Seekers. I have read both series and I have fallen in love with them. I have at least 20 books that have been signed by their authors. It is an amazing feeling to watch the authors sign their books and watch them write your name in it with a little message.
Hey Mrs.Yeatra dont forget to blog this week! You know all your students love hearing what have to post.
