Outside Reading Response: Fade

     I have informed you that I am reading the Trilogy of Fade by Lisa McMann. Well, I am finished with it.
I am pleased to report that it was just as fantastic as the first, and I am looking forward to reading the last book in the series: Gone. I have noticed a pattern in the trilogy, however: all the books' titles are four letters each. While McMann, may or may not have done this on purpose, I think she did. It could be that she just wanted to, or maybe it is supposed to someone connect to the context (but I haven't seen the relation).

     I won't spoil anything just in case someone is interested in reading the book, but I will share a little more of what has happened in the plot. Janie and Cabel have a relationship like any other teens: drama. They have hit a few ups and downs recently and both went into a depressed state. After looking through Miss Stubin's (another catcher) files, Janie has found out the positive and negative aspects of being a catcher, and there are more bad than good. I guess I'll have to wait until I read Gone to find out if Janie will see it through.

  1. Good post overall, Noah. I have been noticing the title patterns with this series, too. I think you are safe in assuming that the titles are purposeful - as you read _Gone_, keep thinking about why the author may have chosen these titles for the trilogy. Your post is a little confusing in the beginning because you say you have finished the trilogy, then that you are ready to begin the third book.

    Don't forget to post your reading times.
