This trimester after taking best sellers I learned a lot about myself. I learned things about what types of books I like, genres that I enjoy, and other things like how I manage my time. I found that I didn’t give a lot of books a chance after I looked at the cover. My sister suggested that I read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. I found that before I used to judge a lot of book by its cover and title. This book had a bit of tacky cover to it and also the title is really long and not like a lot of other books. From the cover I thought I wasn’t going to like it, but when I read it I loved it. One of the best books I have read. Another thing that I found out about myself is that I do manage my time pretty well. I found that I was able to get things done in time if I just focused. This really helped because this class I didn’t have a lot of homework unless I couldn’t finish a blog in class, so if I was able to finish and manage my time well it helped with my schedule having less homework. Another thing that I found is that hands down romance novels are my favorite genre. I found this out when I read both The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and The Lucky One. These were two books that I didn’t think that they were going to be as good as they were. I read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight as my first book this trimester and it was such a good romance novel probably in my top three romance novels. The Lucky One as my film adaptation book and I didn’t read a lot of Nicholas Sparks books, but this one was so good and I absolutely loved it. I also found that I am not in to adrenaline books. For my book three genre study I was put in the adrenaline category. I read The Hunger Games. I liked this book okay, it wasn’t my favorite. The Hunger Games was a very loved book by many readers so if this is one of the best adrenaline books that everyone loves and I just liked it then that shows that I don’t enjoy adrenaline books that much. Although it isn’t my least favorite genre like historical fiction and sci-fi, but it defiantly isn’t my favorite. Another thing I have noticed is that I am a slower reader. I noticed this because in the time you would give us in the lab to read I could only read around 30 pages. I don’t know if it is because I reread a lot of passages to fully comprehend the book, or if I zone out a lot and get distracted when I try and read for long lengths of time. I feel that it is probably a combination of the two and I reread things a lot, but I also get distracted. I really enjoyed this class because we had to do some of the basic English class or reading class requirements like analyzing your book in blog posts and the final projects, but we got to do it with books that we have chosen and that we like to read. I have seen that I like to read a lot more this trimester then last because this trimester I was free to choose any book to read with just a few requirements where as to last trimester they were chosen by the teacher. I have seen a lot of things in this trimester after taking bests sellers and I am really glad I took it.
