Where and when did you find yourself sitting down to read? Do you tend to read with music on, or in silence? By the computer? Did you find yourself checking your phone a lot, or do you ever lose yourself in the reading? Do you ever talk about the books you read with your family or friends or teachers?
I found myself reading usually while at my boyfriends house, he tends to loose himself in the computer and I would loose myself in my book. I usually read in silence just for the fact if I'm listening to music and a song I don't like comes on then I'll stop reading until I find a book I like, or I'll get lost in the music vs. the book. There would be sometimes I'd check my phone a lot but most the time I try to get lost in my book but that also depends on how much I actually enjoy the book I'm reading.I really hate trying to read books that you don't like because it is so hard to get into them. The book I just finished reading, I talked about a lot with my boyfriend, just for the matter of him getting me the book, plus it was an amazing book, so I couldn't help but gush about it. Sometimes I'd talk about books with my mom, but usually I'd just read and most of the time it went by unnoticed because after I finish a book, I start a new one. I hope that I'll start to read more like I used to, I used to read almost every chance I get but I'm constantly working so that can be just a little bit of an issue sometimes but hopefully once the winter comes and I get new books, I can finally sit down and read as much as I used to because to me books are an outlet. If you're feeling a certain emotion and you can find a book to feel the same way then it's great because then you feel as if you aren't the only one going through that problem. Also, they give you an insight on different things in the world especially if you know you'd never experience something like that in your life. My sister is a really big book worm and I'd try to talk with her about books but her and I like different books so it's hard to relate with her on books because she thinks the books I like are weird and I feel pretty much to same with the books she reads, yeah maybe i should give the books she reads a chance but i don't know because if I can't get into the book within the first 5 pages, I won't read it.

Dead End, week 4
I've been reading the book Dead End by Jason Myers and I don't wanna give too much detail because it's the book I choose to do for my project. This book was extremely interesting and heart breaking. It's about two high school sweethearts whom want nothing but to runaway with one another and live happily ever after, which is what we all want, right? Till the tables turn and decides to take a bad turn rather than a good one. Anyways, something really bad happens to Gina, the main character, and her boyfriend, Dru, goes crazy because of it. The two lovers decide the best thing to do to keep their love together would be to finally run away, well let's just say they get into a bit of a pickle. They end up at the random house after many days of running and something yet again happens to Gina, well she decides she's done with her life, and Dru whom had been asleep finds her in the bathtub, lifeless. Dru is so madly in love with Gina that he also decides he can't live any longer. This book reminded me of a modern day Romeo and Juliet. This book made me cry, just because (personal but oh well) my boyfriend and I aren't exactly together and the fact that these two are willing to kill each other just to be happy with one another in another life, it made me wish my relationship would work and be almost like theirs, just without the killing and the bad details in between. Also, my boyfriend happened to get me this book as a gift, so it was just a sad experience reading this romantic love story that any girl would wish to have while I'm having my own relationship problems lol.

Currently, week three
Currently reading: Dead End by Jason Myers
I've basically finished the book, so # of pages: 81
Weeks two and three combined: 181, I started the book "Leaving Dirty Jersey"
1. "You're an angel" he said to her,
"You're beautiful" she said back
2. "..-the forever-had been struck by a lighting bolt and a fire had started. There was smoke everywhere"
3. "Me and you. I want you to be my boyfriend. Is that okay?"
My favorite one has to be the 2nd one, just because it can relate to so many things and the fact that something I had thought to be my forever is "up in flames" I guess I can just relate myself to it.
