 I think that over the course of the 1st semester I have kind of found out a little more about myself in interests such as reading.  My strengths in reading would definitely be in books that I choose or that people think I will like.  They usually tend to be right:)  Most of my summer reading is near the top of the list, mostly being that I wouldn't choose the book for myself and even if that was the case, I didn't end up liking them much at all.  That's just me though.  My definite interests in reading have been mostly in I guess the genre is teen fiction but not like Twilight- although I read those books and 2 out of the 4 I liked- but not like graphic novels or too much action or scary or creepy or way too sporty books.  I don't know a genre for that... Books about sports aren't bad, The Rhyming Season was about a basketball team, but I don't read them often- that was the only one.  Strengths in my reading are probably that I can understand most books I read and remember them, but sometimes, if I there's a time that I am just breezing through books, I get a little tired of reading and slow down but don't retain much of anything.  A weakness I think is that I read better at basketball games.  I don't know if its because of the noise or that I'm used to going, but I do.  I read better and understand more.  I still cheer on my brother though, even if I'm at a good point in my book...

I think a good goal for me for 2nd semester would be to read all the books on my reading list, which would include  Casual Vacancy, The Enchantress, Me Talk pretty some day, the new book in Infernal Devices series when it comes out in March- Clockwork Princess, maybe some of the other series by Cassandra Clare, and hopefully I can fit in a book from the library- they have gotten lots of good ones this year!

Ha ha in case you couldn't tell I like to read...<3
