Reflection 1/22/13



                Over the years my reading taste has grown with me I used to be into adventure stories, basic fantasy adventures. But now I’m reading very advanced novels in many different genres like thrillers and crime. Since 7th grade I can’t remember picking up a fantasy book that I actually got really absorbed into. Maybe some of the supernatural could be considered fantasy but it could be argued both ways.
                I think one thing that’s really influenced my reading taste is my mother. I read whatever she reads; she’s introduced me to so many of my favorite authors, for example: Stephen King and Dean Kootz. She’s told me to try them just to see if I did like them saying “there’s nothing wrong with trying something new every once in a while.” and ever since my reading pallet has grown and expanded.
                Sometimes I look back and wonder if those fantasy stories would still capture me as they did when I was younger?  I remember a series I was in love with was The Unicorn Chronicles (corny I know) I read them constantly wishing I was the girl who got stuck in that magical land of endless beauty and mystery. I know I might never pick up another unicorn book but I know for sure I’ll recommend it to other kids I know because it’s a under the radar series but it’s worth the search.
