About Me
A little about me is that I don’t really have a process for reading. Another thing that is cool about me is that I like to read for fun or if I’m asked to by a teacher/parent.
My Goals
My goal(s) for reading are to read at least 50 minutes each week, continuously for a whole year.
My Favorites
Minecraft books, Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider Series, Adventure, and etc.
Blog Entry
I’m currently reading super, the second book of the powerless series. The last thing that I read was probably either powerless or a Minecraft book.

Quotes by your author and explanation
His three tips for writing fiction are: (1) Read more. (2) Write more. (3) Believe in yourself. Anthony recently joined the board of the Old Vic. He regularly contributes to a wide variety of national newspapers and magazines on subjects ranging from politics to education. He has been a patron to East Anglia Children’s Hospices and the anti-bullying charity, Kidscape, since 2008. This is something I'm asked quite often and my advice is fairly simple. 1) The more you read, the better you'll write. 2) The more you write, the better you'll write. 3) Believe in yourself. It's not easy getting started and there'll always be someone to tell you you're not going to succeed. They're wrong. The only difference between a successful writer and an unsuccessful writer is that the unsuccessful writer gives up. 4) Have fun. You need something to write about so make sure you have plenty of experience. Travel. Meet people. Do irresponsible things. If you sit in a dark room staring at a piece of paper, you'll only be able to write about someone who sits in a dark room staring at a piece of paper.
