This quarter I finished four books. This is one more book than I finished last quarter. I read the Color of Water by James McBride, A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, as well as Decision Points by George W. Bush. My books were quite challenging for me especially because they were all long. It made me read a lot. I chose this level of rigor becasue I felt that in my last quarter of reading I did not challenge myself enough. I wanted to do better this quarter and to really learn from my reading. The best book that I read this quarter was Decision Points by George W. Bush. This was a great book because it was an autobiography that went deeper into various topics about our former president that I never knew before. It had some great stories and details about past events and other things that I never knew before reading it. I have discovered that I tend to enjoy nonfiction more than fiction. I like reading autobiographies and biographies and learning from other people's experiences.
I definitely achieved my reading goals from last quarter. I read more challenging books and I read not only fantasy books, but nonfiction which I have found that I enjoy more. For the third quarter, I would like to read five books with at least three different genres. This will help me continue to try out new genres and read more books. My second goal is to read over two thousand pages. Not only do I want to read more books, but I also would like to challenge myself to read longer books. I want to do this so that it will force me to read more often to reach that goal.
