Books for Semester One

This semester, I read:
*In Defense of Food
*Literary Analysis
*Literacy Narrative
*Nation
*Lord of the Flies
*Hatchet
*City of Bones
*City of Ashes

This is an inadequate list. I wanted to read more, but I had too much homework. I feel like a more accomplished reader and writer. I'm excited I read the two books from the series Mortal Instruments because I have been wanting to read those for a while. Also, the Literary Analysis and Literacy narrative drafts weren't difficult, per say, but they were long and challenging. I'm glad I got those (almost) done and a good, acceptable grade on them. I feel like I did't really improve like I wanted to, but I read what I wanted to read. My semester has been filled with adventure books like Hatchet, Lord of the Flies, and Nation. In defense of Food was interesting. It's not that I didn't like the book, it's just that I kept falling asleep while reading the book.
Next semester, I hope to read one more Mortal Instrument book from the series. I also would like to read (and finish) Life of Pi. I've heard it's a great book and it's become a major movie picture as well. I want to be more open to new and different types of books next semester. I have a lot of friends who love to read & they recommend me books all the time, I just don't listen. Next semester, I will listen to them and read at least one book they recommend.
