One of my passions in life is to help young adults learn to love to read independently. I know not everyone loves to read, as a matter of fact, many young people actually would prefer to do something other than read a book... like say, take a bike ride, play a video game, drive slivers underneath their fingernails… you get the picture. Reading does not have to be torture. As a matter of fact, finding a good book that you connect to can be one of the most enjoyable experiences imaginable. Yes, it’s true… reading *can* be fun!
Your first blog assignment is to reply to this post. Tell me what the top three books you’ve read in the past year are. Why are these books your favorite? List the titles and authors of the three books you’ve loved and please avoid using books from the same series. **Hint: I'm looking for a four paragraph response- Two sentence opening: How do you feel about reading? List three books you have enjoyed and the author’s names in a complete sentence. Write one brief paragraph per book- describe what the book was about in one sentence. In another sentence, explain what you liked about the book. Write an at least one-sentence closing. **IN ORDER TO COMMENT, LOOK BELOW THIS POST AND CLICK ON “0 Comments” TO GET A COMMENT BOX.

I don’t really like reading. I will do it if i have to. I do like books like, Series of unfortunate events. I like books where you have to look for clues and solve puzzles. The main characters are Violet, Karlose and Sunny. Violet, Karlose and Sunny lost their parents in a fire and have to live with their uncle, Count Olaf. He is trying to steal the Baudelaire's money that their parents left them. Baudelaire is Violet’s, Karlose, and Sunny’s last name. I like all the books,i’m sorry that is only my favorite series right now. Have a nice day!

I do not read as much as I should. It tends to take up a lot of time and I really don’t get transported to new places like everyone says you do. For some reason it just never really happens for me. I have read three books that have really knocked my socks off. The first book is Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. The second book is the Wild Robot, by Peter Brown and the third book is Holes, by Louis Sachar. The Percy Jackson book is about adventure and mythical creatures. Percy is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. Poseidon is a water god who looks out for Percy when he goes on dangerous journeys. He also stays at camp Half Blood that is were all of the young demigods go because they are not safe in the real world.

I am not that good at reading I just read slow but I was good at doing the AR thing because I remember well. I am pretty confident in remembering but in actually reading I don’t feel that confident. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander, Not So Normal Norbert by James Patterson and Trapped In A Video Game by Dustin Brady.

Someone I would pick to be president is my dad Dustin. I picked my dad because he is smart, wise, and he is a lawyer. I think he would make a pretty good president because when it comes to work, my dad is serious. The virtues my dad has are trustworthiness- count on you to do your best, keep your word and to follow through. The next virtue is respect- speaking and acting with courtesy. The last virtue is prayerfulness- a relationship of faith gratitude and power.
