Reading and Movies

There are two things that I’m really passionate about. When I have time to myself and I don’t have homework I like to read or watch a good movie. I love all kinds of movies and books. There are a few that are my all time favorite. I love books that I can’t put down just to go to bed and I love movies that really get you thinking. Last year I got the Amazon Kindle and I’ve read so many more books since then. I still enjoy a good book from the library though. There’s nothing like the smell of a good book.


I really love funny books. The ones that make you literally “laugh out loud”. One of my all time favorite books is Are you there vodka? It’s Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler. She has a late night show and she is hilarious. I read this book within two days. There wasn’t a chapter I was reading that I wasn’t laughing out loud. It was one of those books that you just have to tell other people about. I had all my friends and family reading it by the next weeks. I love feel good funny books.



One of my favorite books is the Twilight series. There was times when I wouldn’t even shower, because I wanted to finish the next book. I couldn’t wait to get to the next book. When I finished it I was really sad. I wanted the books to go on forever. I felt like I was a character in the book. A lot of girls are really obsessed with the Twilight Saga and I’m pretty much the same way. I loved reading those books so much I would dedicate any extra time I had to reading them. It made me want to live in Forks, Washington even though I knew it was just a story.


My all time favorite book was A Child Called It by David Pelzer. This book was so sad and it made me realize that I was very lucky to have parents like mine. I couldn’t believe that someone would actually do that to their kid. When I read this book it made me mad. I hated that mom so much I wanted to go and find her. It made me realize that not everything is picture perfect. That book changed my outlook on life. It made me see the other side.
I have a few favorite movies that I will love forever. Titanic was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I would come home after school everyday and watch it until my mom came and picked me up from the neighbors. I still love it till this day. The way it was told. It was so sad and I couldn’t believe something like that happened. I would watch it so much I could tell you all the parts and what they were going to say. It’s a really long movie so that shows you how much I watched it.



One of my really favorite movies that most people didn’t get to see was The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This movie was so good. I even read the book. It was so sad and gave me an idea of what the Holocaust was like. I remember that little boy was so sweet and he just wanted to be friends with the boy behind the fence. It was very sad and I like movies that make me sad. I don’t know why I just like hearing other people’s stories.


My whole life I’ve loved reading and watching movies. I’m very passionate about them. I love getting recommendations from other people and I love hearing other stories. I wish I was creative so I could write a book or write a movie. I know that’s never going to happen so I try and watch and read as many books and movies as I can. I love that feeling of being in another place when you’re really not. Some people don’t like reading and I don’t understand why. I think it’s because our teachers in high school gave us really hard and boring books to read. If they would give us good books so many more people in the world would love to read.
