Independent Reading Reflection

The first nine weeks I didn't read as regularly as I should have, and read three of the books (The Hunger Game Trilogy) in one week, and read Gone with the Wind over 2 weeks during the last part of the summer. I plan on improving on reading regularly by reading each night, for about 30 minutes, before I go to sleep each night. I read often, during short periods of time. I try to read into the text, and ussually make connections to modern day political issues. Although, I didn't use my Reading Journal helped me to organize my thoughts, and connections, but didn't help me to think more deeply. Next nine weeks I plan on reading Seabiscuit, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, and if I can find a book on Secretariat, I plan on reading that too. I would also like to read Jesus Freak, if I can get my hands on it. If I have time I would like to reread The Mark of the Lion Trilogy by Francine Rivers.
