Could this really be happening? I have been asking myself this question a lot lately. One thing that to me "can't really be happening" right now is my reading. Now, for some of you that know me really well, one thing you probably know is that I don't like reading. I could spend hours reading current events, or sports talk. Which I guess technically is reading, but I don't think of it as reading. So let's just say. I don't like reading books.
Book after book I drag on reading. I realize that I need to read. It's been part of my grades since 1st grade (if 3rd grade grades really count :) and book after book, year after year, I have never been able to find a book that I am "crazy over."
At the beginning of the year I was looking on Shelfari of books that might be interested in. And sure enough I found one. "The Secret Journal of Bret Colton" by an Utah native. This is a true story. A girl living her life through high school, the trails, and life I would think that almost every high school student has. Let me tell ya, I am hooked on this book! I have read almost 150 pages in the last 2 days. And to some of you that might be nothing but for me, that's something! The last few nights while I have been doing my homework I say "Oh man, I have so much stuff to do. I just want to read my book." It's like I have a virus or something. My sister was like "Did you just say you want to read your book?" My little brother said "Ashley are you sure you're alright?"
Every night, I want to read my book. I want to be done doing my math homework, or doing my web works, learning new countries. I just want to read my book. It seems crazy to me and my family that I actually want to read. But I guess it's good, for me. And my grade.
