Of the 45 books I've read this school year, some clear patterns emerge. My fascination for YA literature is best represented by the under-appreciated
, a book that is funny but also full of heart. My reading of The Boxer and the Spy reflects my willingness to try new authors, and
is by far the best recent book I've read, one that includes serious ideas about the meaning of life in the face of despair.
With only five weeks before finals, I need to read something more substantial (longer? more complex? deeper?) and
or
might fit that goal.

I also realy like action/adventure books with deeper meanings. To represent that I chose the books


These are all very good books.



Another book is living dead girl it gave me a mirrior of what she had to live and last the book ghosts of war was my favorite book all year. it really name me look at things differently and enhoy the small thing in life that I have.

The genre of books that interest me the most are the YA novels.









The goal I would love to accomplish is to read many more books before the school year is over.

My favorite out of these three books is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I've been meaning to read the sequel but I just don't have the time for that yet.
Right now, I'm currently reading a history book, mainly about the Native Americans. The book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown, a really challenging book; true sad story and I think everyone should read this. You will know more about the natives and what REALLY happened. I'm half way, so far so good. And also lately I've been having interest in history books. I might pick up some American History books once I'm done with this.
