409 Words2 Pages

I always hear about books that people absolutely love and wish the story would never end. Honestly, I have not felt that way through all the books I’ve read. That fact continues to drive me to read until I find that one book that succeeds in doing that. A book that can not only get me interested, but make me wish it didn’t end as well.

Some people hate reading, others love it immensely. I am right in the middle. When I read I am not stressed by things here, for I feel like I am somewhere else. Over years my search has slowed down

    Mckenna, I too wrote about the mindless monster and the negative effects it can have on someone. It's crazy to think about the lengths people will go to please someone and will overwork themselves to make sure others are happy.
