Ever since I was a little kid, about five yeard old, I've loved reading. It all started when my parents used to read to me before I went to bed each night. I'd absorb the books like I was a sponge! My favorite book genres to read are mysteries, thrillers, and crime. I hate reading non-fiction. I just can't stay focused and read so much boring data or facts. I can't remember the very first book I ever read, but the first book I do remember reading was The Swiss Family Robinson in second grade. My favorite place to read is somewhere outdoors, where it's peaceful, with incredible views of the scenery. When reading outdoors, I sometimes feel like I could actually be where the story is taking place and like I'm more connected to the story in a way. Another reason reading outside is my favorite is because I absolutely LOVE being, seeing my suroundings (especially if there is a sunset!), and breathing in crisp, fresh, air. When it comes to my favorite book, it's not just one book, but a series. The Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz is my absolute favorite series without a shadow of a doubt. Anthony Horowitz, also the author of Sherlock Holmes, is one of my favorite authors and I highly suggest reading some of his books.
