my first book


I chose to read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher for my first best sellers. I chose this book because I heard from my friend that it was really good and she usually likes the same kind of books I like. I also choose this because it was on the list that was handed out of recommended books to read and I remembered my friend talking about it. The author sounds good to me because he has written another teen book and has a major publication for young adult books. He also is a song writer, orchestrator, conductor, and pianist which is pretty cool. Also the reviews for the book on good reads were mostly good like four or five stars and they were raving about it. It also was a New York Times bestseller so a lot of people must have liked it. It also sounds very interesting. It is about a girl who committed suicide and recorded 13 tapes of her explaining to the thirteen people who are the reasons she commuted suicide why they helped make her do it. But I turns out that one of the people whose fault it was that she killed herself actually liked her.

why i read


I read for many different reasons. You are required to do it for school so that’s how I’ve read most of the books I’ve read. Some of them I didn’t want to read but ended up liking, but other id didn’t like. I read because you can feel like your experiencing things you haven’t or will never experience. Like I read a book about a girl who has cancer and I’ve never had cancer and probably won’t. I like to read because you can imagine a little story in your head like a movie but it lasts longer. I like to read because it can help me fall to sleep sometimes. I also like to read books about something that I can relate to or slightly relate to. Like in the fault in our stars I could relate to having someone in my family having cancer. I like to read because you can take a break from reality. I like to read when I am bored and there are no good shows on or nothing to do. I like to read when a book is very interesting and wants me to keep reading. I like to read when the author has an interesting story or idea that he wrote a book on.
