Good evening everyone!  My name is Christina and this is my first blog.  I honestly love to read.  I have a library full of books ranging from mysteries to love stories to horror stories.  I have been reading as much as I can whenever I can for a long while now.  A lot of times I relax by reading for the entire night.  I usually will read a book twice if it is one I really liked.  I find myself skipping over parts as I’m trying to get to the end of the book as fast as I can.
The very last book I read was Lockdown written by Alexander Gordon Smith.  I am writing a book review for my brother-in-law's magazine and this is the first book I was assigned.  It is a very interesting book about a place called Furnace.  Boys who misbehave are sent to Furnace, an underground prison for young boys.  There are a lot of intricacies within the story that keeps the reader’s attention throughout the entire book.  I really enjoyed reading this book and I am actually hoping I am given the other books in the series to review somewhere down the line.
      I would say that English is my favorite subject.  I never really had the patience for Math or Science.  I look forward to the reading assignments in the class.  I sometimes don't stray away from what I am accustomed to when choosing reading materials so being forced to stray outside of my comfort zone is a good thing for me.  I remember in high school that I did not like poetry so hopefully the poetry I encounter in this class will help me understand and enjoy what I’m reading. 
    Other then that, I’m just me.  I work full time, go to school full time, and have a family at home.  My boys are 2 and 4 and keep me super busy when I am not working or doing homework.  My life is filled to the brim and never leaves me sitting around bored.
