Finally

When I first began this class my level on independent reading varied. I would not by any means call myself a persistant reader. I would read books that my friends had recommended and said were good but I would not read on a dailey basis. I read alot more during the summer than I do during the school year because I have so many other things going on. With having this class it made me become more of an independent reader at first. At first I was really excited about all the reading and blogging but after so much of it I was a bit burnt out with all of it. I never really had much trouble meeting the amount of page numbers required, but I did find myself struggling to blog 600 words EVERY week. THis class gave me more of a respect for reading and realizing that if you dont like a book once you're about 50 pages into it then it is in fact ok to not finish it. Just pick up another book in its place. I find myself liking any type of book that can relate to reality situations. I also like there to be some kind of romance going on throughout the plot of a book. I do not like books with action as much because I would rather see that type of thing on a movie instead of trying to picture it in my head. I also like book with factual information to a certain extent. I am in AP U.S history and we have to read our books for homework most nights and that is too much information to have to try and take in all at once. I like to pace myself when learning facts from my own reading. It also helps if the facts are interesting and keep my attention or could some how help my future.
