This is what i think.....

HI EVERYBODY!IM SOOO HAPPY 2 DO THIS AND IM ALREADY HAVING SO MUCH FUN! I HOPE I HAVE AN AWESOME TIME WITH THIS BLOG AND I'LL ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I CAN!!!!!!!IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE AN OUTIDE LIFE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. PSHT. UR HILARIOUS! IM ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WHEN I GET HOME.


ya.....NO!
I'm being forced to do this against my will. But i still have 2 do it....... so sha. so my name is "that girl who lives in a box on the side of highway 9", of course that's not my real name but if i put my real name on here some creepy stalker will read it and track me down. it's always good to be safe :)

So apperently, i have to write what type of reading i like to do. well, that's so thoughtful of you to ask me! i just happened to be thinking of my favorite readings.....

I am actually an avid reader. I used to be obsessed( i mean OBSESSED) with books in the fourth and fifth grade.. and third.....and second.. so pretty much almost all of elementary school. i don't know what happened in the summer between 5th and sixth grade, but now im dramatically less obsessed with books now. But i am still obsessed.


i like fantasy and adventure books alot. I'm not sure why i like them so much, i just do. I like the Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and the Twilight series. Realistic fiction is okay, but my favorite realistic fiction book is Every soul a Star.
     



I also like poems because some are really inspiring.  A couple of years ago, if someone asked me what poetry was, i would say lines that rhyme with each other. But now i know that not all poetry has to rhyme, so that makes defining poetry harder. According to the Google dictionary:
po·et·ry
noun /ˈpōətrē/  /ˈpōitrē/ 
poetries, plural
  1. Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature
    • - he is chiefly famous for his love poetry
  2. A quality of beauty and intensity of emotion regarded as characteristic of poems
    • - poetry and fire are nicely balanced in the music
  3. Something regarded as comparable to poetry in its beauty
    • - the music department is housed in a building that is pure poetry
So, I did not understand many of the words in that definition, so i will just say poetry is writing expressed in special ways, like rhyming, pictures, and syllables.


But, nonfiction books or texts with really big words are annoying. Some hard words are okay, so show that the author is not at a first grade level, but too many make the text hard to read and it kind of gets pointless. I like nonfiction books with authors that have some creativity instead of just listing out facts.

Some authors i like are J.K Rowling, Erin Hunter, Stephanie Meyer, Wendy Mass, and Rick Riordan.
