__ What makes a GREAT book? Lots of detail? Amazing illustrations? __

In fiction, the writer’s job is to entertain, to draw an emotional response from the reader. The reader is often looking for suspense, action, and to go on a journey they have not been on before, one they will not easily forget. Readers want to get drawn into and experience the story for themselves. They want characters they can relate to and form a personal connection with. But most importantly, they want a good book. One that leaves them anxiously awaiting each turn of the page.

Each of the books I have chosen takes me on an adventure, makes me smile, and/or cry and reminds me why I love to read. I encourage each one of you to find books you love, and to share them with others.

Please let me know your favourite books and why they inspire you, or make you passionate about reading! I will gladly add them as recommendations to other students!!
