Finally

This semester I only read three books. The Kite Runner was my favorite, although I do like reading The Help as well. I would either read in study hall or at night before bed and usually big chunks at a time instead of spacing it out. I didn't manage my time well when it came to reading (or blogging for that matter). I've found that my favorite types of books are books about friendship and growing up, but I would still like to broaden the genres of which I read.While reading The Kite Runner I would get lost in it, but for the other two books I found myself checking my phone, texting, or even staring at the wall, for whatever odd reason. It's not that the books were bad, I'm just easily distracted. That's why I like reading in silence the best, music and the television would distract me beyond belief, which is why I should really stop doing my homework in the family room. I have stayed the same as a reader throughout this semester and will probably always stay the same. When it comes to reading it's patchy in a sense. Sometimes I go for long spurts without reading, and other times I'll be engross in books for weeks, it just depends. A lot of it depends on how busy I am, how motivated I am, or even my emotions. When I want to get something off my mind, I read because it is a decent distraction from what I am trying to avoid. Reading allows me to temporarily forget about my problems, which can make me feel better, even if it is short lived.
