How often do you read books?

[quisslequassle]

I personally spend a lot of my freetime reading, although I usually spend a lot of time finishing one piece, instead of reading a lot of novels. Kind of strange when you consider that I mostly read short stories, and only very rarely complete novels. 

Maybe it would also be interesting to see what type of books are popular in the community, so if anybody would like to mention what type of books they like, I would love to hear it.

I like reading mostly anything in the Science Fiction genre. I Am Number Four, Maze Runner, Divergent,...

I read books often.
Fantasy is one of my favorite genres. I am currently reading the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series.

I read often too! I like to read a lot on Wattpad. I love reading fantasy books where the main character has some sort of power. I also like Science Fiction & Romance genres. Werewolf is okay once in a while too! Besides the online books, I've read the Cinder series, the Eragon series, the Warrior Cats series (multiple times for each one). I read too much it's unhealthy.

I love books. There's nothing I like better than curling up with a good book. And I never can turn down a book either - I'll read practically anything. Fiction, nonfiction, philosophy, biography, art, science, poetry, children's books, mystery, fantasy, history - I love it all. About the only thing I don't actively read is paranormal romance and dystopian. But if a friend recommended a book of those genres to me, I'd probably give them a try. I don't typically like romance, but I've been trying to read more of it, since I do love character-driven stories, and a lot of romance is given historical settings that I enjoy reading about. I've only found about... two or three romance I legitimately enjoyed so far though. The rest have been... a trial to get through. On the plus side, I have learned a lot about how not to write a story from reading them. XD

But my favorite types of books are historical fiction, fantasy, and historical fantasy. Lately I've also been on a huge biology kick, reading everything I can get my hands on about animal intelligence and behavior. At the moment I'm rereading all of Tamora Pierce's Tortall series' in preparation for the new book coming out. I grew up with these books, so it's a great deal of fun rereading them. I'm also reading, "Science of Creature Design", an art book about... well designing creatures. ^^ Specifically by learning and applying real-life anatomy.

Alright - I realize I just went off on a huge tangent. I just love books. ^^ I choose "I've always got a book by my side", because it's very true. In fact I usually have at least two or three. I always keep a book by my bed for nighttime reading, and a book in my art bag for on the go reading, and at least one book on my desk or coffee table for regular everyday reading.

I read constantly because it is relaxing and a stress reliever. Though the only books i'm reading right now is the warrior series, Omen Of The Stars.

About three years ago, I found the Warriors series and couldn't put them down. That school year, I read every single Warriors book that had come out. That was over 50 books. Since then, I've challenged myself to read 40-50 books every school year. I now keep track of every book I read.

My teacher asks us (as an assignment) to write 'letters' to her in our notebooks, then turn them into her. These letters should be, basically, about your readings. However, they aren't summaries. Instead, you're supposed to write characters, predictions, connections, and different quotes. These easily encourage me to look more in depth into a book and its characters. I'm so thankful that I have this assignment for every two weeks, it's probably the only homework I love!

But, back to the books, I really love reading! I always have a book with me. I am currently reading the Fablehaven and The Mysterious Benedict Society series. I love fantasy and some science fiction books. I have a stack of books that I have bought by my bed waiting to be read!

I am OBSESSED with reading! All my friends know that I'll never go anywhere without a book (or two or three) and often joke about it. I don't mind -- it's actually funny. Even my teachers joke about it. I love all kinds of books, mostly fantasy, but I am extremely picky about what I think is good and what isn't. Reading is my life -- recently, one of my friends got into it, and I couldn't be happier! That makes three of us who carry around books all day!

I read fairly often, but I've run out of books to read!
