Books I Read

     My reading  this summer has been great.  I read three books this summer  and my favorite book was " Brown Girl Dreaming " by Jacqueline Woodson. This book was about a girl who was growing up in the time where segregation was still I'm going she talks about the struggles in her life after her parents recently at her parents got divorced this book was about a girl who was growing up in the time where segregation was still going on she talks about the struggles in her life growing up as a black in that time period. This book was  well written and it gave me a good view of what it was like for black people back in that time.  Some of my favorite genres are historical fiction and non-realistic fiction.  The reason I like historical fiction is because I learn about all the things that one's on back then some of my favorite historical fiction topics are the Civil War I find it a very interesting topic.  I find myself in the zone when I read these type of books and can put the books down.  There are sometimes when I can't stand reading usually one I am reading a book that I have no interest in order to genre that I'm not really into.  This year I hope to improve my reading by reading more books and reading them in less than two weeks.




        Some ways that I can improve my reading are by highlighting words that I do not understand and defining them.  I can also improve my reading by putting in Post-it's or Jott's when I find something interesting in the book. Barnes & Noble's would be a good place for me to be getting my books because they have lots of genres and I can easily find books that I like and f Barnes & Noble's would be a good place for me to be good in my books because they have lots of genres and I can easily find books that I like and find  interesting to read.  I also like to write stories and I usually get my ideas from the books that I read such as I would write about historical fiction and based the ideas from books I read .  I also like writing about nonfiction because I can based off of my own personal life and put them into stories that's why I like reading nonfiction because it slyke I'm in a different world just inside different peoples minds. This year I hope to  grow as a reader because I feel like I'm being distracted from reading and not reading as much as I should be in this year I just hope to accomplish reading more .
