Still Reading. . .

 

So while I was in Houston, I got four books for free. I've read half of them: Clarity by Kim Harrington and Prom & Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg.

Clarity is a paranormal murder mystery. The main character is Clarity and she, along with her family, are psychics; no they cannot see the future.  Clarity has been asked to help solve the murder of a tourist. Yes there are twists and turns trying to hide the real murderer but I really had a hard time figuring out who did it. No, it was not the butler. And yes there are romantic love interests and conflicts. Overall, I enjoyed this book. 

Prom & Prejudice on the other hand, I felt embarrassed about reading it so I took to cover off it and people assumed I was reading Pride & Prejudice. As the name suggests, it has a running theme about prom, and prejudice people. It was a good book, but written at a lower reading level and too smooth of a plot. It needed more twists than just her prejudice being wrong and a potential rape. If you are in a slump for reading, yeah you should pick it up (or borrow from me.)

Finally . . . .

So I've been gone this past week with no internet access. Apparently AT&T doesn't like Indiana computers using Wi-Fi in Texas. Therefore have not been able to post about the end of Specials and the book Clarity by Kim Harrington.
I would read in the car or on the couch when I wanted to avoid homework or simply had nothing else to do. It was pretty easy to find things that interested me because I will read a wide variety of books. I just need people to point out the good books that they enjoyed reading. I rarely had troubled meeting the weekly page quota; I usually went over the weekly quota. I tend to read with music or the TV on. If people around me were talking, then I’d have trouble focusing on the book. I do read by the computer, but that’s because my computer sits at the end of the couch, between the couch and the TV. (Convenient spot, right? =P) I usually didn’t care about checking my phone because it is a page quote, not a time quota. I talked about the books quite often, mainly with family members unless a peer asked about the book.  
 I feel like I have changed a little bit because I have a bigger desire to finish books, but this trend will most likely not last long because I will find something else to occupy my time. I am still reading the same teen/young adult, futuristic, paranormal books. I recently finished a series that took place in the future and the people were high-tech. A book after that was similar to a murder mystery, but it was also a romance with psychics, aka paranormal.  I always read independently in the summer but I think that I will read less because I plan to find a summer job.
