The Bookworm Confessions

By Chloe & Lianna

Chloe...

I always look forward to the moment when I can come home from my hectic day and relax. This is usually around 10:30. p.m. I've spent the last few hours after school at dance.

My house is full of lights from the porch, the windows and the automatic light sensors from the neighbors' home. I like to look up at the sky to see if there are any stars out.

Once into the house, I put on my pajamas and begin working on my homework. When I finish, I pick up a book and read until I begin to see double. Then I close my eyes and go to sleep.

Sometimes I stay up until very early in the morning absorbed in a book. When you read a book, you get a break from the normal everyday routine. I enjoy escaping my mind, and going into the mind of someone else. When I read a book that has problems that are far from normal, I get to use my imagination.

When I'm ready for a new book, I take a trip to Barnes & Noble. There I cruise down to the young adult section. I look for a book that would be appealing to me. I look for mystery books usually.

My top-10 favorite books to read are:

Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Ana's Story by Jenna Bush

Buchanan-Renard-Mackenna series by Julie Garwood

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison

Evermore by Alyson Noel

Wake by Lisa McMann

Need by Carrie Jones

The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause

I like to read because reading allows you to escape from your own life and get involed in someone else's life whose life is probably much more interesting than your own.

When I look for books to read, I look at the cover and author's style of writing. If a cover is ugly and uninteresting, I probably will not give that book another look. If I see an interesting cover, I pick up the book and read the summary. I also look at the author's writing style because I cannot stand poorly written books. There are so many authors out there that are horrible in my opinion.
