3rd Quarter Independent Reading Reflection

Over the course of the third quarter I have read many books varying in levels of difficulty. Here's a list of all of the books I have read this quarter:

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr 
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Edge by Jeffery Deaver
The Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau
The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau


I had made two goals for this quarter. My first goal was that I would read an entire series in order to see how character change over the course of a few novels. I have not yet read an entire series, but I am in the process of reading The Testing trilogy and I have just finished the second book and am hope to obtain the third novel by next week. My other goal was to read 8 books next quarter. (Which happens to be this quarter) I have read 9 books this quarter, including Fahreneheit
451 and I am glad that I have reached my goal. I think that I set a realistic goal for
 myself because I am currently on the softball team (YAY!!!) but I have practices 6 days a week. I normally don't get home until 6-7 and on top of my other homework I lose some of my reading time. However, I am excited that I have reached my goal for this quarter.
My new goals that I want to meet would be 1) I want to read a book from the perspective of a different place around the world  (probably, I Am Malala  by Malala Yousafzai) and 2) I would like to read 1 more book from the mystery/crime genre. I have read a crime novel, (Edge by Jeffery Deaver) and I enjoyed it because I liked the fast pace and quick action, and I think if I read at least 1 more book from this genre I will really enjoy the genre more.
