Over the year, I have learned and improved as a reader. I have to admit, I have always loved reading. This year I read many amazing books and have found myself to be reading two different genres. I do like the chick-flik books, but what catches my eye the most is mystery. The kind of mystery that I like is where there is feelings of the character and a bunch of stories in one that all connect at the end. An example would be The Last Child, which I read over the summer.
Other than finding what genres I like, I have actually started to connect what we learn in class with my outside reading. In these mystery books I am figuring out the messages and clues faster because of our close reading in class. I have started to notice foreshadowing, symbolism, and double meanings, which makes the read so much more interesting. I have a lot of books I plan to read next. One of them is 13 Reasons Why, that I learned about in the lunch book chats. I can't wait to dig in!
Thanks for reading, Taylor
