This year I found out a lot about what I like to read. Coming into the year I had a closed mind about only reading "chick flick" books. The first book I read for outside reading was the second book in the Shiver series, then I read the last book in that series. Then we had a break from reading because we were starting the literary analysis. During the second semester I wanted to open my options for a new type of book. So I started, A Stolen Life, by Jaycee Duggard. It was completely different from what I was reading. This was an autobiography about a girl getting kidnapped.
After reading that book I realized that I do enjoy other books besides books about a girl falling in love with a guy. I still enjoy those books, and they are probably my favorite genre to read, but this year I learned that I like some books that are not in the genre. I also thought that writing two paragraphs about what you read every week was a good idea. It helped me to think about the book besides the story line. It showed me what kind of writing I like, and what I like about the authors. Overall, I think this was a good year for outside reading.
