I cannot believe SSR is over. All year I have dreaded SSR. SSR has not been something I have enjoyed in this class. In fact SSR isn't something I like no matter what class I am in. For some reason I found it really difficult (more than any other years) to find a book and actually enjoy it. In my last SSR blog I asked for help in finding a book. Thank you for those who gave me some ideas but I still haven't found anything. Reading isn't something that I enjoy and I don't know why I dislike it sooo much. In the past years I have been able to find at least 1 or 2 books that have caught my eye. I actually would read them cover to cover and I really enjoyed them. I am not too sure why I couldn't find a book this year. Every Monday going into Fletcher's class I would be soo bored. I would sit down, bring books, and try to read them but I would get bored. I tried to stay silent so I wouldn't distract others but sometimes that was a little difficult to me. (Sorry Ms. Fletcher for talking during SSR.)
Why don't I get anything out of reading like other students? When I look at some people during SSR it same like they were enjoying their books. Why couldn't I find a good book? I would also hear students talk to Ms. Fletcher about different books and how they liked it or didn't like it. It same like people in my class were just going through books like crazy. While people have read 6 or 7 books this year maybe even more, I haven't been able to complete one.
Although I haven't been able to get anything out of SSR, I have been able to get things out of other readings we have done. As everybody knows before each writing assignment Ms. Fletcher gives us several articles for us to read. Those are probably the only things I have read this year. If I hadn't read those articles I wouldn't have been able to write a paper each time. So even though I wasn't able to find any books during SSR I was able to enjoy some of the articles that we read during the year. They were very interesting, I learned from them, and I was able to write my papers by reading and taking notes on these articles.

I really like SSR :(
but not everyone is a reader. I personally have gone through at least 50 books, if not much much more in this year.
Don’t worry. I am in the same position as you. For some strange reason I seem to have blocked my mind when reading books, so I really didn’t enjoy them as I would have. I like reading, but it just seems this year wasn’t my SSR year.
i totally feel you lindsay. its hard for me to find books to read then actually take the time to sit down and read it. i dont get how people read so many books, or its maybe just cuz i'm a slow reader lol
