Nonfiction Chapter 9

Nonfictioon books are usually journals, diaries, life-cycle books, how to books, reference books, and biographies. Not to be rude or mean Font sizebut I am not really a nonfiction book person. Not saying I dispise them I just don;t really enjoy them as much as other books. I need to be able to read something fun and interesting. Probaly the only nonfiction books that I have opened to read are text books and reference book to use for a research paper or project. Other types of nonfiction books that I have opened to look at and read are recipe books. I love to bake so that is the only reason why I have nonfiction books. Nonfiction books to me I think they are mostly to take in information. Very educational.

Fiction Family Chapter 8

Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Fantasy and Science Fiction are all my favorite!!!!!! I absolutly enjoy reading romance novels. I love the Twilight series and as a child a love the Chronicals of Narnia and Sarah Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan. They later made them into movies which makes it even better. Even though the books are way way better I still like them. I enjoy the fact the in Sarah Plain in tall is realistic and historical, because yes there were mail order brides and that's what sarah was. Jacob had posted an ad in the paper and Sarah answered it. Alot of the romance novels that I read deal with mail order brides too. Or they take place after the civil war or what ever wars they were in at that time. I guess that is why I also enjoy history. These books are realistic fiction. The Twilight series those are in a way realistic, fantasy and science fiction. Realistic beacuse there are realistic people in the books, fantasy because alot of things are to good to be true. Edward is too too too too too too perfect. But I fell totally in love with him, FANTASY!!!! He is just real in the book. Science fiction beacuse there are wolves and vampires in the books. But all these things are what makes us intrested in reading and falling in love with the books. I like that when I pick it up to read it is very hard and impossible for me to put it down. Fiction Family type of books are the one that I start to read and I stay up till five in the morning reading. I can read the entire book without putting it down. That is how much I love to read Fiction books.

Picture Books Chapter 7

Oh wow picture books!!! I have never really been the type to love or like picture books. Unless it is a book that really explains itself through the pictures. I am the type of person who actually needs words on my pages of my book. I guess because I LOVE to READ. Books of course not text books. lol Sorry Professor. ;-) But hey I'm not the only one. But I would rather look at a picture book than read a text. My brother loves picture books. I remember when he was little he would always like to look at the big paintings in the books. He would say that he love the pretty bright colors. I never really took the time to look at them with him. And today i took the time to look at some and I may say that they are very nice pictures. I guess I can say that I was wrong. I really liked them. But still does not mean that they are my favorite. I notice that Picture Books are not a type of Genre. They fall into many different categories. They are poetry, fantasy, science fiction, realistic fiction, and historical fiction. I would have thought that they were their own Genre if I did not read that ji ji ji. I bought some books for my library last week and my brother chose two picture books. I love the fact that i have a younger brother because he helps me choose books .
