3rd Quarter Independent Reading Reflection

• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (323 pages)

• This Present Darkness by Frank E. Pieretti (376 pages)

• Portrait of a Killer by Patricia Cornwrll (361 pages)

• Extreme Measures  by Michael Palmer (343 pages)

• Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (158 pages)

This quarter I really did not meet my goals in reading. I had planned on reading at least one romance novel and completing 6 books. This quarter I did not read any romance novels and I also only finished 5 books. I was more focused on really challenging myself last quarter and reading more rigorous books then I might usually read on a regular basis. I feel like this is why I was not able to get through 6 books for the 3rd quarter. As for the romance novel, I was focusing on reading classics this quarter and got sidetracked from accomplishing this goal. I do feel like I accomplished a lot more reading this quarter and really took a step up by completing several challenging books. As for 4th quarter, I would like to read two more books than I did this quarter because I think 7 books will be a good way for me to continue with my reading schedule and staying on top of it. I would also like to read a historical fiction book because this is a genre I rarely ever read so I think it would be good to experiment with it.
