“I have no clue whats going on!” The story of my life when it comes to reading. I will be sitting in my room, nose in my book. I look at the clock, and then at my book. Its been two and a half hours and I have read 20 pages, and worst of all, I do not know what the heck is going on in the story. I find myself thinking. Thinking about everything but my book.

I got started on the car ride there and I read non-stop until the services were over. I still wasnt finished with the book so I read all night too.
