Reading Reflection

Over the last two weeks I finished The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling, my book club book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis and started Flush by Carl Hiaasen and my new book club book, Midnight Magic by Avi. All of these books are fantasy except for Flush, being a realistic fiction book. The time period in which I started and finished these books was from February 3rd to February 17th. I read a total of 21 times over the last two weeks. I read for 547 minutes or 9 hours and 7 minutes and I read 512 pages. This is an average speed of 0.94 pages a minute or around 9/10 a page a minute. This is just right level. The book that I started and finished in the last two weeks is The Sorcerer's Stone and this fits into it's genre of fantasy because it has inhuman creatures and the characters have powers. The book is about Harry Potter, who just finds out that he is a wizard and at his wizard school notices a professor acting strange. Harry gathers enough information with his friends Ron and Hermoine and knows the professor is going to steal a stone that has an elixir that makes you immortal. Harry must stop the professor from doing so. I like this genre because they always have a lot going on and tons of interesting plot twists and turns. One compliment I can give myself is that in the past two weeks I have been reading just right books and my evidence is my average pages per minute reading speed. One thing I'd like to focus on for the next few weeks is reading books from genres other than fantasy by reading books in the genre challenge.
