Theme 4

1. I read one to two books a week. The genre I usually read is fantasy, but I'm not overall picky. The story has to catch my interest and drag me away. If a book doesn't interest me then I discard it and try again.

2. I have a love of reading that usually averages one to two book a week to keep it in hand. A usual book choice for me is in the fantasy genre like Wheel of Time or Pendragon. I have been known to dip into other genres though. If a romance, mystery, horror, etc. has a good story, I'll read it. I'm not to hard to please.

3. I sit curled up in my brown living room chair with a book propped open on my knees. The sun shines on the pages of my second book this week. I'm rereading Breaking Dawn from the Twilight Saga again; my latest addiction.

The previous book I had devoured with my eyes was When the Stars Collid, a murder suspense novel. It was a fair read, kept my attention, but not well enough to keep me away from Twilight. A book has to have a good story to keep me away from the fantasy genre. But once I find I like the book a lot I tend to reread them often.

I turn the page, and slowly read. The light from outside casts shapes of clouds across the pages. I read the last phrase this book contains. A sense of accomplishment and dread fills me as I shut the book with gentle hands. My thirst for a good story flares, and I am off to the library to find another book.

But is this week 4--are you building in fictional enhancement of the truth? That is not clear at all--version three sounds like a factual extension of version 1. So, is this a case for a rewrite? I'm not sure--need your feedback.

This was an attempt to do this weeks theme. I was trying to stick to the facts about my love for reading. Guess I didn't understand the theme.

You do fine, building and adding, but I want something slightly different and more difficult. Give it another shot, and email if you run into doubts or troubles.
