    The Book Nook

    Vol. 2, Iss. 2                            June 10, 2020

    Holy Trinity Catholic
    High School


    Summer Reading Program

    For every book you read, you are asked to fill out the following Google form: 

    https://forms.gle/vQqhYQUimWQRwzHP8

    If you have a Holy Trinity e-mail address, please use that address when logging into the form.  This form will help us keep track of how our school community reads.  It will also give you an opportunity to earn some rewards!

    Your goal is to read at least two books each month.

     

    Tech Note

    The Book Nook is sent out using RenWeb.  Your mail filter may mark this newsletter as Spam or with some other “Danger Danger” note. Mr. Atteberry, our tech guru, said you can help make sure future Book Nooks get to you: “The user [YOU] has to mark it as not spam. A spam filter is a component of the user’s email client.”

    Who’s Ahead?

    Through June 9, here are the numbers of books read and recorded by our community.  (Please note that the incoming FRESHMEN are killing it!)

    Seniors: 1

    Juniors: 0   (Um, hello!  Juniors!  Read something!)

    Sophomores: 1

    Freshmen: 13

    Holy Trinity Alum/Graduates: 2

    Faculty and Staff: 6

    Parents: 1

     

    Suggestions

    Support local bookstores!  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, local bookstores have been hurting!   Consider going to McWha Bookstore on the square in Belton or The Book Cellar in downtown Temple to find your next great book.  If shopping online, use AbeBooks.com.  Though it is a service of Amazon, AbeBooks.com is a network of local bookstores, and the prices are GREAT, free shipping on most items!

     

    Sometimes keeping up with the reading during the school year is challenging.  Consider picking up a book this summer to get a head start.

    Here are some suggestions:

    Freshmen: The Count of Monte Cristo

    Sophomores: A Separate Peace

    Juniors: The Scarlet Letter or The Grapes of Wrath (long, but an easy read)

    Seniors: Macbeth or Pride and Prejudice

     

    TAPPS Literary Criticism Contest

    Attention Book Nerds!  The Academic Team is always looking for people willing to take on Literary Criticism!   In 2019, senior Madison Leurs won first at the state meet.  This year’s reading selections can be found here.  In addition to researching terms, etc., you will need to read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller (part of our AP English IV curriculum).

     

    What You’re Reading…

    Alum and valedictorian of her class, Emily Linz recently read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a dystopian novel in which “firemen” burn books.  That book is assigned to Freshmen this year!

    Incoming freshman Waverly Stewart read Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han.  She describes the book as a love story about two high school students who plan to go to college together, but their plans change when Lara Jean doesn’t get into the school of their choice.

    Incoming freshman Valerie Schwartz had already logged several books!  One of them is called I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.  Set in the 1930s, the book relates three fictional journals about a girl who lives in a castle.

    Incoming freshman Isabelle Kuriger read Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer, part of the Twilight series.

     

    What the Teachers are Reading…just in case you’re curious

    Mrs. Kelley recently ready Blood Covenant by E. W. Kenyon, a book about the passion and death of Jesus.

    Mrs. Oman read The Restorer’s Son and The Restorer’s Journey by Sharon Hinck, part of a series of spiritual fantasy books involving an alternative universe.

     

    What Mr. Mosmeyer is reading…

    I recently read two short novellas by Ralph McInerny, both of which were Father Dowling mysteries.  McInerny was a professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame until his death a few years ago.  He was also an accomplished mystery writer of several popular series.

    I am still plugging away on War and Peace. I’ve made it past page 700, just about 400 pages to go!
