Paws to Read
Grace T.
One of the best uses of time travel would be to read some books again for the first time.
I chose this quote because reading takes me on an adventure. When I read a book for the first time, it's like I am starting a new adventure that I haven't taken before. When rereading a book, I still get the experience, but it's not quite the same as the first time I took the adventure.
About Me
I love to read because it takes me away from the real world and introduces me to a fantasy world with different characters living in each one. When I read, I can visualize what the characters look like and what my surroundings look like. I don't have to think about homework, or friend "drama", or any other problems that are happening in my life. Reading just takes away my problems, which is why I love to read. When I'm not reading, I'm playing piano, hanging out with my friends, singing, dancing, or just doing things outside.
10 things about me as a reader
- My favorite genres of books are fantasy and realistic fiction.
- I am OBSESSED with the Harry Potter series.
- Some of my favorite books are Harry Potter (obviously), Hunger Games, the Maze Runner, and Percy Jackson.
- I am an extremely fast reader, and it seems like I am reading a new book every day.
- I read A LOT, maybe even too much.
- I can't stand it when my bookshelf is unorganized, so I have organized my books in alphabetical order by the author's last name.
- I always read the book before the movie.
- According to me, the book is almost ALWAYS better than the movie.
- I've read the Harry Potter series 12 or 13 times, I kind of lost count.
- I hate when books end in a cliff-hanger, and I have to wait a really long time for the author to write the next one!
My Interests and Favorites

My Latest Blog Entry
I recently reread Counting by 7's for the fifth time (I reread A LOT of books), and I am currently rereading the Harry Potter series and Out of My Mind. I am also reading The Book Thief for the first time. Personally, I don't really like that book. I wouldn't recommend it, because I don't think that it is very interesting or exciting. It can also sometimes be confusing, but not a lot.

I chose this song because I think it's hilarious! I always have it stuck in my head and my friends and I like to sing it together because we have all memorized it. I wouldn't listen to the song if you haven't read the series, because it gives away some spoilers. This song is basically the summary of Harry Potter, to the tune of the different soundtrack songs.
