I love reading, its one of my favorite past times and sometimes when i'm struggling or just bored its one of the first things I try to do.I try as hard as I can to read as much as I can but sometimes it just doesn't happen, either I have to much homework or extra-curriculars or plenty of other things that just prevent it form happening. I can really only enjoy a book if  I'm the one who chose to read it. Sure Fahrenheit 451 was a decent book but other than that I really didn't enjoy any other books we read this year which I feel wouldn't be true if I had chosen to read them. For the future I really want to just make more time in my everyday life to find time to read so I don't fall behind on anything.

Honestly therte is nothing good about blogging, its just awful and there is truly no point it would be much better if we read books and then talked about them with the rest of the class every other monday. The worst part by far is just actually doing it, like everything about it is just awful. I don't really know what is good about having my reading life online because its not like many people actually read it. Whats the point of doing the blogs if no one is actually going to read them. My suggestion for blogging next year is just don't have them, I don't want the people in the grade below me to have to go through the struggle as well.

I honestly feel like the one way that I have grown the most this year is that not everyone is going to like you, no matter how hard you try. You might want to believe that if your just the nicest person ever and you treat people with nothing but respect that everyone will like you, they won't. I'm not saying thats what I have done, I mean I haven't always been super nice but there are people out there that will judge you without even knowing you and theres nothing you can do about it because its their mistake not yours.

After reading The Lightning Theif I have decided to read the classic, amazzing book The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Although I'm only about half way through the book I have to be honest. Its pretty amazing.For those of you who haven't read this book yet you should definitely try to pick it up. The story follows three women in the 1960's struggling to survive in their messed up town in Mississippi in different ways. It shows the struggle for black Americans in this time and also for women. I wish I could say more on the book but I truly am not far into it so I don't want to try to explain something I don't know much about. I feel that this book is a major step up from my last endeavor which was basically a middle school book and not a challenge at all but I still loved it. If you want to hear about that read my last blog post but its just something I like to do sometimes. I feel like this blog post is like not as much as my usual but I really can't tell you much about what happens until I actually finish the book which might be a week or two. Until then...

I just finished my old favorite book The Lightning Theif by Rick Riordan. Honestly it is as good as I remeber. So much better than his new series that he has been writing. I kind of forgot about how he actually writes. I'm so used to his newer books and how he plays off the characters there that I forgot how attached I used to be to his characters. Its true that they aren't the most well writen books ever and they definitely aren't advanced enough for a 9th grader but for me that really doesn't matter. Sure I like to challenge myself with what I read but sometimes you need a break from the big words and confusing storylines. Sometimes you just need to find your Lightning Thief. If you haven't read the Percy Jackson books then shame on you and your a disgrace to your whole family. I'm kidding of course but these books have been out since I was in 5th grade maybe even earlier I can't really remember. You could probably afford to pick it up and go through it in a week tops. Its truly not a hard book to read, its very fun, warm and all around energetic. The characters are all well defined and relatable and theres no dumb needless dialogue. I guess you could say this is like my "guilty pleasure" series but I am not ashamed of it. Rather I'm actually pretty proud of my situation with this series.

After reading wonder one of the best books I've read in a while I decided to read an old favorite, The Lightning Thief. It was at one point one of my favorite books that I had read. I have since read many books that are truly amazing do if you were to ask me now what my favorite book is I wouldn't be able to tell you. Anyway I haven't truly started the book but I do know what happens and you think that this would ruin it for me. Not really. To be honest there are some surprises in the book that I already knew about which ruins the anticipation for me but I'm still excited to see how the character reacts. It's like I'm not reading the book for me but so that the character can find out what's happening. For me the story has already been told but for the character I s just beginning,
