My Reading experiences

How I choose a novel.
The main way I would normally choose a novel is by based on what other other people have told me what is a good book or popular authors. I do this predominantly because I am not much of a big reader and i dont know what is good. I also choose based on the blurb. The blurbs gives me information about what the novel is about, without giving away the story or the ending.


My favorite authors are: Morris Gleitzman, John Marseden, Andy Griffiths and newly added Rick Riordan. I like these authors because of the types of books and novels they write. I like the intense moments of action thriller books, and the funny moments of the comedy books.


I Personally like to read in my room with a glass of water and some snacks. although I only like this spot during the day, because of the sunlight that comes through my window that is strong enough to light up my room. During the night, i read in the dining room where there is a strong light that illuminates my book, without me having to strain my eyes.


The two authors i have read this term are Morris Gleitzman and of course Rick Riordan. I like their genre of book as they are both similar. they both involve a main character with a goal they want to achieve, but they have to fight different people to get to their destination. I believe another similarity is that their books involve a lot of emotion that I can relate to.


Morris Gleitzman doesn't write from personal experiences, as he believes that he should write about things that he could never do in real life. Rick Riordan in the past was a english and history teacher. this suggests why Rick Might right books on Greek Mythology. Rick also writes about what he cannot do in real life.
