Post #1: Why I Read

I read when a book interests me or when it is required for school. When I read a good book I like how I feel connected to the characters. I like to read the books that make it hard to put them down. I like books that have happy endings. I read on long car trips because it helps to make the time pass quicker. I read on the beach because I think the sound of the waves mixed with reading is relaxing. I read because it helps me fall asleep. I like to read books that are also movies/TV shows or ones that are going to be turned into a movie/TV show. I read those because I like to compare them and see if I like the movie or the book more. I read because sometimes people in books are more interesting than the people in my life. I also read because English class requires me too. Although I don’t really like any of the books the school makes me read. I think most of them are boring. I like to read books that I pick out because I think they are more interesting than the books we read in English class.
