This term I read 2 books. School of Fear, by Gitty Daneshvari, a fiction novel, and Counting by 7’s, by Holly Goldberg Sloan, a realistic fiction novel. School of Fear was a just right book for me.

In Shakespeare 's sonnet "Sonnet CXXX," the blazon is constructed in a very peculiar way. Mary Wroth, in sonnet 42 "Pamphilia to Amphilanthus," interprets the blazon within herself rather than her love. Both uses of the blazon depict a time in which love is of the essence.
