End of Quarter Blog

The third quarter is almost over. Wow, time flies by in your sophmore year of high school! So, my genre plan for the fourth quarter is to read a play, poem or a historical fiction book. Just for the simple reason that I have not completed that genre requirement yet. I have absolutely no idea what book I will be reading but I'm sure my classmates or good old Ms. Bandman has a good idea for me. I have actually branched out a lot more this year than last year in independent reading. Last year, I wouldn't even take a second look at Jane Eyre and this year I ended up loving it. Also, I'm tending to read less and less of the easy breezy reads--though I am guilty every now and then. I do prefer a good realistic fiction every now and then. Looking for Alaska was a great read as well as Nicholas Spark's The Last Song and The Wedding. I do enjoy reading Picoults books as well (Handle with Care) but sometimes I don't want to start reading a book that I know will make me cry eventually so I'm trying, as of recent, to stay away from her books. Hmm...what else does her blog sheet say....what was my favority book this quarter? I'd have to say The Time Traveler's Wife. I absolutely LOVED that book it was interesting, well developed, and riveting. I found myself reading a book instead of watching tv which sometimes is a very surprising thing for me. I think that I didn't just choose this book as my favorite because it was better comparing to what else I have read this quarter, I think I would have chosen it either one of the other two quarters if the same question had been asked. Well, I think that this is all for now....
