Legend of sleepy hollow:

I wasn't able to get my blog to work but thankfully its now a lot easier to post things. I wasn't able to post what my opinions were on the book or vocab that I didn't understand. Im excited to be reading this. At first I wasn't really interested in it but now I am liking it more and more. It is confusing at times and some of the vocab words are confusing but well worth it !
