Reading and I don’t really have the best relationship; we never have. When I was younger I struggled with reading comprehension problems. I would read things three times just to understand the material I read. I believe this is what gave me the initial hard feelings for reading.

the last 10 years I can honestly only remember a handful of books that I’ve read, half being assigned readings through high school and another fourth being religion based. I didn’t want to resort to bringing them up but the twilight series is one of the very few I can remember. As an eighth grade girl I remember the pressures to read this ‘incredible’ series that everyone was talking about. I have never read through a book so well or fast in my life. Stephanie’s style and imagery made it so easy for me to become enveloped in the story. I didn’t struggle to comprehend but rather excelled and soaked up her descriptive writing.
