Last week, I read two books: The Sun is Also a Star<\/i> and The Amityville Horror<\/i>. <\/p>\n
The Sun is Also a Star<\/i> was written in 2016 by Nicola Yoon. It is the story of Natasha and Daniel, two seventeen-year-olds living in New York who meet and fall in love. <\/p>\n
The Amityville Horror<\/i> was written in 1977 by Jay Anton. It is the (probably not) true story of George and Kathy Lutz, two thirty-somethings living in New York who move into the world’s most haunted house.<\/p>\n
I mention them because these are the eighth and ninth books I’ve read so far this year<\/a>. For some of you, that might not sound like a lot. For me, that’s a lot. According to my records, in 2016 I read nine books, total. Of those nine, seven were biographies. Of the nine I’ve read so far this year, only one has been a biography. Seven have been fiction. <\/p>\n The more I read the more I kick myself for not reading more, and not having read more. The list of books (especially classics) I want to read is growing. Most of what I’m reading right now is for school, but when May comes, I’ll have a fat queue waiting for me.<\/p>\n Thinking about all the time I spent not reading fills me with sadness. I hope I have enough time to catch up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week, I read two books: The Sun is Also a Star and The Amityville Horror.
