Myself as a reader I don't know where my love for reading came from.  My parents haven't read a book since high school or collage.  Nobody in my family likes to read they don't find it as fun as I do.  I don't remember my parents ever reading me a story. In intermediate school I was obsessed with the Junie B. Jones books I was always sitting down and reading multiple books at a time.  I was always re-reading the too. When I got to middle school The Hunger Games was really popular.  I read, and love, those books and I would re-read them if I owned them.  As a reader I find it really hard to read a series of books.  For me it's hard to sit down and commit myself to the same characters doing the same things.  For example, in sixth grade I tried to read the Harry Potter series.  I got halfway through book three and stopped because the same story and characters with the same problem stretched out like that gets boring to me.  Or more recently, this year I tried to read Divergent.  I finished the first book and loved it.  As soon as I started the second book I wasn't motivated to finish it like I feel I need to be to read a book.  I have yet to still read the second and third book.  When I read books I like to read books that draw you in from the very beginning. Books that have action (usually).  I also love Nicholas Sparks. I could read his books all day if my mom would let me.  I miss in Intermediate school when we had those beach days where we wore comfy clothes and brought pillow and blankets and all we did was read all day.










I am not like the main character in my story because I do not feel the need to put my life at stake for a rush.  A roller coaster ride is good enough for me. He feels the need to do dangerous stunts and put his life and others lives at steak just for a rush. I am more of a person who takes extra caution for the safety of others.

I didn't like to read much as a kid but now I I'm starting to get into middle sized books. But whenever I see a big book I just walk away from it because I get overwhelmed by how many pages and it's just big. I still don't like to read much unless it's my choice. My most favorite book ever is Deep, Dark, and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn. I like this because it catches my attention and I like the way she describes everything. I like almost every book she's written. Because of my liking to her books I didn't want to read anything else so I just reread them. Now because of my liking to her books, I like books written by Peg Kehret and other similar authors. I really like to read ghost books because of the eerie feeling of that book. I also like the way the book could just leave you hanging by just building up suspense and then dropping it like it didn't happen when they start a new chapter. The books that Peg Kehret writes that I like is her books about abductions it's like sort of the same as the ghost books when they could just leave you hanging again and go on to what other people are doing or saying or even thinking. I think the best part in a book is when you have the suspense in the book and you don't want to put it down so you just block out everyone or even everything that's around you. Sometimes I find myself listening to music as I read just for background noise but eventually I don't even know that I am listening to it. It's basically pointless having it there, but I keep it there because if I don't want to read I have music. I like to do things that I don't want to do with something that I like so it's not that bad in the end.
