Why did i choose my first book?

For my first book in Best Sellers I have chosen, The Hate List, by Jennifer Brown. Initially I chose this book because I saw my friend reading it. Also the cover is a little odd, which drew my attention to it even more. As I was researching this book I heard a variety of comments. Liddy from Goodreads said, “You know when you hear someone say, 'One day, you will find a book that will change the way you think about life.' Yeah? Well for me, that book was Hate List.” So this comment really make we want to read the book. If it could change my view of life, well, it must be pretty phenomenal. Also, the rating is very close to 5 stars. Jennifer Brown is obviously a really talented author, so I thought I would give this book a try. In addition, realistic fiction is my favorite genre, so this book seems like a great choice for me. The summary online is really interesting too. From what I understand, the main character’s boyfriend came in one day with a gun. He proceeded to shoot some classmates, his girlfriend and himself. The story continues with his girlfriend having to overcome all the accusations made by everyone around her.

Why I read

 

               I like to read because it allows me to experience new worlds and go on new adventures that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to experience. You can vividly imagine the setting and bond with the characters. Experiencing someone else’s life for a little bit is only something you can do if you read. Sometimes I read because I really want to know what happens next. Like for example a mystery book, I read those the fastest because of all the suspense. You just want to know what happens next. Also, reading about other people can make you feel grateful about what you have, or what you don’t have. I read because it’s great medicine for boredom. When I read books I don’t feel bored and I can learn something while I’m at it too. The great part about reading is that you can use your imagination. The way you might have imagined a character could be totally different than the next person. The people and settings really come to life in your mind.  Reading is great because you can take a break from your hectic life and sit down with a book. It’s a great way to spend your time.
