Only three more quarters to go! This first quarter, I don't believe I read anymore than I did the year prior to this year. Fairly equal, I'd say. In the time (8 weeks? About 8 weeks.) I read books that didn't stray too far from my sidewalk. And were moderately similar to me and my life style – no one eyed aliens floating around, y'know? I personally enjoyed Where'd you go Bernadette?
by Maria Semple, because not only does the writing format already amaze me, the plot is absolutely
outstanding. Something in the book happens, that is my first time seeing happen to the main character
and in any book at all. 10/10!

As mentioned above, I personally don't see myself heading over to the library in order to grab the latest best selling
fantasy book or anything of that genre. A goal of mine is to expand my picks, and grab at least 2 books in the next quarter
that either are placed in a different time period or a fantasy book. Another goal of mine is to read a higher level reading book
to enhance my vocabulary and get more familiarized with some new writing formats!
Spiritual reading for me is reading that strengthens a meaning of life, and takes people to different places and times to discover
new perspectives in life that they have yet to have experienced. As I touched upon above as my "favorite book of the quarter"
In Where'd you go Bernadette? by Maria Semple, Bernardette is a mother of a child prodigy and a wife of a man named Elgin.
She experiences a a heartbreaking scar in her life and decides to take matters into her own hands differently. And that is.... Going
to Antarctica. I put myself into the shoes of someone who lives a moment that could easily break the relationship between four people.
And I see a different way of "solving" the incident rather than what I would've done. I got to connect with the mindset of a middle age woman
and her mentality to relax herself in another continent! This novel made me fill up with many emotions of anger and filth and betrayal, but
can I tell you that.. IT WAS SO GOOD. Please read it if you have the time, because it definitely won't be a waste!

I have no idea why my post looks so distorted and all over the place but I just didn't know how to fix it either....Yikes!
