About My Reading


I have to say Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author.  His books are always heartfelt and in the end the main characters problems are solved. My favorite book of his has to be Safe Haven. I read the book in one day. The characters seemed so real and the drama in the book just sucked you in. I loved how I was scared when Katie (the main character) was scared or when she was sad I felt the emotion as if it was my own.

My favorite genre is historical fiction because you enter a world that is so different but it actual existed at one point in history.

I just finished Out of my Mind by Sharon Draper. In this book, Melody, an eleven year old with cerebral palsy, has a photo-graphic memory but no one knows since she cannot walk nor talk. At school the children ignore her besides the children in Homeroom 5, who also have special needs. When her school has an inclusion program which lets her go to normal fifth grade classes, she cannot wait.  She soon notice she can't praticapte because she can not say anything or control her body movements. She wants to talk so badly that she gets her aids attention and manages to tell her that she needs a speak devise. When her parents agree to the plan she is so excited and her first words to them is "i love you." She soon can voice opionion and makes on to math team and helps them win states and when her team goes to national, they leave her behind on purpose not wanting her to slow them down. I would recomned this book to anyone who loves heart felt novels.
