I have so many things I could talk about being my favorite thing but one thing that I love to do is to read. I read many books. I have multiple shelves full of books, and I love that my parents don’t stop me from doing what I love sadly these past couple years I have been so many things for college that I haven’t really properly picked up a book to read.
So books I have read
Some of my favorite genres are dark romance, mystery, and horror. One book I was able to read this year is ” The no-end house.” By Jeremy Bates. I loved it so much that I couldn’t put it down whenever I had free time I was reading it. When I was reading it, I felt like I was on drugs the further I got into, but I couldn’t put it down like I said before. It even talked about another favorite thing of mine which is dinosaurs. It had one chasing down the two main characters inside this house basement that kept going down.
Another one of my favorite book I read was called “Stalking Jack the Ripper.” By Kerri Maniscalco. I bought all the other books in this series; I started with the second book “Hunting Prince Dracula.” Which was in accident mainly because my high school was having a book fair and I found the second book and bought it because it never said that it was the second book in the series. I just couldn’t put it down and once I finished one, I needed the next one. It hooked me from the first word, the book series fallows a young woman in the 18th century who wants to become a mortician, and her uncle is the only one who believes in her. She finds herself hunting down killers and trying to save more lifes.
Why book clubs are the best
In high school I joined a book club, and I loved it and the books they gave us to read. Some of my favorite mystery books came out of this club, alongside my love for horror stories. One of the being “The Weight of Blood.” By Tiffany D. Jackson. If you have ever watched the movie “Carrie.” which came out in 1976, you could find so many similarities to this movie in the book. Its basically “Carrie.” Just the start of the bullying starts from the main character’s hair coming undone from the hot comb that her own father did to her because she was mixed. The book puts a lot of unconfutable topics in your face about how there is still racist roots in some towns in the south, but it brings in magical aspects into the story.
Another book the club put me on is “Dark and Shallow Lies.” By Ginny Myers Sain. I loved the mix of magic and mystery mix with a bit of horror; its about these kids who are born on the same day in this small bayou town and some of them goes missing then we find out by the end they were killed by one of boys that is madly in love with the main character.
One thing I dislike about some books is when they get turned into movies and they differ so much from the book. One movie that doesn’t do this too much is “Jurassic Park.” They only change some of the deaths in the movie mainly because of how gruesome some of them are. I first watched the movie and fell in love with it, which led me to beg my parents to get me the book so I could read it. They finally gave it to me when I was in high school; they got me it for Christmas alongside other books I wanted.
They have all ways supported me in my reading indevers to the point now I have an online list full of books I want to read. They are the reason I love reading when I was in Elementary school, they had a rule in place, that when I got home, I had to read for 20 minutes before I could do anything. They made this into my favorite thing.
