Hello!

I'm Bianca Rodriguez, club sponsor of the River Readers Book Club. Don't worry - you haven't been thrown into a club just because you're using this blog! I decided to experiment with The Sun Also Rises because I notice students sometimes struggle completing the novel (that is, without the aid of Cliffs Notes!).

I will set up posts for each chapter of the novel. Feel free to comment on anything related to the novel or to ask each other questions. Sharing video and images is great too! And, just a pesky reminder that all posts are moderated and any posts that violate college conduct rules will be blocked.

About me: I am a Librarian at the Main Campus of IRCC. I've been with the college since 2004 and have worked with the English Department every semester! I enjoy helping students work through the research process, whether it's an English paper, a Health Science project, or a Psychology assignment.

I hope you gain something valuable out of reading a novel with a group!
