Some of my favorite books


One of my most favorite books from elementary school to middle school was the book Holes by Louis Sachar. I first read the book in elementary school and it is one of the only novels that I’ve read twice. As I’ve gotten older, I haven’t read as many books for fun as I did as a kid. I have started a few books for fun, but never end up finishing them. I have been into more psychology, self-improvement type books of late and I was reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People over the summer. That’s probably one of my favorite books right now, but I haven’t finished it yet. The last book that I read for fun that I really enjoyed and read all the way through twice was the seventh Harry Potter book. I read this book originally in high school after reading the previous six books. I re-read my favorite one, the last one, right before the movie (part one) came out. I love all the Harry Potter books, but the seventh one is my favorite because it brings all the past stories together and somehow they all connect perfectly. I like this book too because it is the final battle between good and evil, and good prevails! I like the message of friendship, integrity, and bravery that this final book ends the whole series with.

  1. Holes was my favorite book as a child! Actually it's still my favorite book. And I too have read it twice unlike any other book, apart from the Giver and the Scriptures. Definitely one of my favorites.
