Second Book __**Final Blog**__ All this stuff happening restores the heroine's marriage and she is finally able to shake off the burden of Rebecca's ghost. However, justice tightens around Maxim: first, it is found that holes have been drilled in the bottom of Rebecca's boat, but he found out that it was suicide instead of murder. Rebecca's cousin Favell, certain that Rebecca did not kill herself, accuses Maxim of the crime. The local magistrate, Colonel Julyan, investigates, and finds that on the day of her death, Rebecca went up to London to see a Doctor Baker. The heroine is certain that Baker will reveal that Rebecca was pregnant, thus revealing Maxim's vengeful motive for murder. But instead, it turns out that Rebecca was dying of cancer, and that she was infertile; she had lied to Maxim about her pregnancy. Her terminal illness now supplies a motive for Rebecca's supposed suicide, and Maxim is saved. Maxim and the heroine are on there way back to Manderley and when he calls home he finds out that Mrs. Danvers has disappeared. As they ridge near the mansion, they look down and find it in flames. I thought that the independent reading was ok. I'm not a big reader so it was hard for me to remember that i needed to read. I did think the whole wiki thing was cool and it was interesting to see what books other people were reading and what they had to say about them.

**__Third Blog__** first, it is found that holes have been drilled in the bottom of Rebecca's boat The heroine struggles in her new life at Manderley. She feels that she can never compare favorably to Rebecca, who was beautiful, talented, and brilliant or so everyone says (housekeeper, the sinister Mrs. Danvers and Maxim sister) and soon she feels that Maxim is still in love with his dead wife.....Manderley traditionally hosts a costume ball each year, and it is soon time for it to take place. The heroine's spirits begin to revive but the ball ends in a disaster: Mrs. Danvers's suggestion she wears a costume that, which turns out, is the same dress that Rebecca wore at the last ball. When Maxim sees the heroine he is horrified and the heroine becomes convinced that he will never love her, and that he is still devoted to Rebecca. The following day, Mrs. Danvers almost convinces her to kill herself, and she only breaks away from the woman's spell when rockets go off over the cove, signaling that a ship has run aground. When divers swim near the grounded ship, they find the wreckage of Rebecca's sailboat, with Rebecca's dead body in the hold. This discovery makes Maxim tell the heroine the truth: Rebecca was a malevolent, wicked woman, who lived a secret life and carried on multiple affairs, including one with her cousin, Jack Favell. On the night of her death, Maxim had demanded a divorce, and she had refused, and told him that she was pregnant with Favell's child. Maxim was mad, took a gun and shot her, and then sailed out to the harbor in Rebecca's boat and sank it, with the body stowed safely inside.

__**Second Blog**__ //Rebecca// begins with the sentence, "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." The heroine, dreaming, sees herself as a ghost, flitting through the charred ruins of the once-beautiful mansion Manderley, where she once lived. The heroine, who remains nameless, lives in Europe with her husband, Maxim de Winter, traveling from hotel to hotel, remembering memories of a beautiful home called Manderley, which has been destroyed by fire. The story begins with her memories of how she and Maxim first met, in Monte Carlo, years before.In her flashback, the heroine is working as the young traveling companion to a wealthy American named Mrs. Van Hopper. Maxim is staying at the same hotel as the heroine and her employer, and after knowing the heroine for only a few weeks, he proposes marriage. She accepts, and he marries her and takes her back to an estate of Manderley. But Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, drowned in a cove near Manderley the previous year, and her ghost haunts the newlyweds home.

I'm reading Rebecca by Daphine Du Maurier. I chose this book because I couldn't find any other book to read. I found this book at the Erickson Public Library
 * __First Blog__**

First Book __**First Blog**__ HEY! I'm reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I chose this book because it sounded interesting and I've never read a mystery book before. My mom recommended this book to me, she said that it was good. I found this book at the Erickson Public Library. __**Second Blog**__ I am reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Cristie. So far in the book, ten people are invited to Indian Island under false pretenses. At dinner they find ten soldiers and later they are informed that all ten are guilty of murder but were never punished for it. Then, Marston dies from taking a drink thats been poisoned just as the poem says. I can't wait to keep on reading because its staring to get interesting. __**Third Blog**__ This weekend I finished my book. Where i left off is the boat was suppose to bring supplies but it was late coming and then the people realized that no one was coming to take them off the island. They also noticed that everytime someone dies one of the ten ceramic figures disappear. Everyone starts to suspect one another, so the three men decide to search the Island but no one else was there but the eight people. Then everyone understands that no one can be trusted and they go to bed scared and slowly become mad. More people keep dying so now only five remain. Everyone decides to just sit around, with only one person being able to leave so that they would be safe, people start to die one by one and no one knows who...The police later find the Island and can't figure out who killed everyone. A few weeks later a bottle is caught by a fisherman. Inside it was a confession written by Wargrave. It explains why he killed everyone, and also that he got the nine people to the Island. Wargrave faked his death, so he could kill the others and then in the end he killed himself the same way he faked his death.
