I have completed 5 full works of fiction for English so far as part of my independent reading. I did not particularly enjoy any of these 5 books, but if I had to choose a favorite, I would choose Ender’s Game due to how solidly-built its setting is. However, while Ender’s Game has an immersive universe, it does not have a lot of creative language which makes it a boring book to read.

While reading, I gave up on two books, both of which was borrowed when I had no idea what other book I wanted to read. I tend to dislike realistic fiction unless they are written well, and these two books were both realistic fiction that was very poorly written. This tells me that I should consider more when picking my books, and that I don’t have to pick a book immediately if I have no books to read.
