IRR Reading Book #4 due Monday

Please bring in a copy of the book you plan to read for IRR #4, which will be due at the end of February. Make sure you have a PHYSICAL COPY of the book or can show me the title you have purchased via an app (KINDLE, iBOOKS, etc.). Emails that you ordered a book or narratives about how you left your book at home and you promise 100 times to bring it in tomorrow won't work. This will go in as a homework grade.
You may not use:

1. A book that is below grade level.
2. A book that contains inappropriate content. (see me if you are unsure if your book fits this criteria or not, prior to Monday's due date)
3. A book you have read in school or anywhere before. The more new titles you read, the better you will read and the better you will write.
