I am a reader. I started liking reading over the past summer. Earlier, I couldn’t find the right book so I wasn’t very interested in reading. But, in my opinion, reading is relaxing now. It makes me happy to read a book that I really like. Reading is also something nice to do when I’m bored. It’s a nice way to calm down and, for some reason, reading makes me less tired and have more energy. I love reading so much now and I have really gotten into it.

I love reading realistic fiction and fantasy books. I like realistic fiction because I can somewhat relate to it and it is very comfortable to read realistic fiction for me because they are usually pretty easy to read. The other genre I like is the opposite of realistic fiction: fantasy. I love fantasy books because I can imagine so much. I love reading about these fake worlds that just seem so real. I just have so much room to imagine so many things for fantasy books. As much as I love realistic fiction, I can’t really imagine that much because there are limits. Realistic fiction sounds like the world we live in, so I can’t really imagine that much.

A realistic fiction series I am reading right now is The Summer I Turned Pretty series. I am currently reading the second book which is called It’s Not Summer Without You. I started reading this series because I watched the show and all my friends had read it, so I decided to start reading it about a month ago. I love this series because it seems so real. I can really understand everything because I live in the same state as the characters in this book. I don’t really relate to what’s going on in the book though. The series is about a girl named Isabel (or Belly) Conklin. She is 16 years old. She goes to her family friend’s house on a beach called Cousins Beach every summer for the whole summer. She has a brother named Steven who hangs out with the family friend’s kids, Conrad and Jeremiah. I don’t want to give too many spoilers but I can say that I love the series.

I love the author of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Jenny Han. I also love her book To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before which is also a realistic fiction book. Another author I like is Carl Hiaasen. I read his book Flush and I loved it! It was about a boy in Florida saving the ocean from a cruise ship. Do you have a favorite author?

I love reading. Some books don’t catch my interest as much as others, but I still love reading. I am always looking for new books or series to read. If you have any favorite books or authors, I’d love to know.
