Post #1: Why I read?

I read for many reasons but the biggest component to reading for myself is to gain life changing knowledge. I'm not like the stereotypical girl who just reads romance books, I love training and athletic books. My favorite author is Eric Thomas because he really is the read why I read. His books just provide me with so much to gain from my life. The contradicting factor to me not wanting to read or just not reading at all is because I live my life for value and everything that I can give back because God has blessed me with so much. Sometimes I just feel that I wouldn't get anything in return for reading a book such as romance novel, aren't they all the same? Jillian Michaels is also a huge factor to me actually reading, her books are absolutely authentic to her and life in general that I feel so much from just her entry statements. A lot of the books that I read and enjoy are written by my idols such as Hope Solo, Derek Jeter, Jillian Michaels and Eric Thomas. One book that I just wish I could read is anything written by Luke Bryan, I just feel like he would have so much to say and I love that man so much. Normal people read just for pleasure, I read to change peoples lives.

Book 1 Project: Gone Girl Mystery Kit

       Have you ever lost something that you’ve never been able to find? Imagine if you had everything you’d need in one kit. What we’re selling is the once in a lifetime mystery kit so that you can find whatever you need before it is lost. The Gone Girl mystery kit includes a Team Amy t-shirt, DNA testing, binoculars, finger print tracing evidence and everything any good detective would need!

            Nick was the husband that every mother wishes that their daughter could have. The love that Nick and Amy shared was unlike anything else, but as they say, “If it’s too good to be true then it probably is”. Nick was genuinely worried about his wife but through all of this the cops thought that he had done something to Amy, or at least had a part in this action. It seems like in every case the husband is always the first suspect, but in this case they made that clear. While working in this case Nick wants to be as corporative as possible so he tells the police, “Of course. Like I said, whatever you need”. This is the moment in the book where I even started to question Nick. Through the diary entries of his parts in the book he vividly describes how he doesn’t want to seem likes has been too involved or say the wrong thing. In cases like this I understand the fright that he may possess but I don’t see how you can be too worried when the truth always has a sense of power to it. Also at the same time he says, “Wait, wait, wait. Have you found something that makes you think my wife was..”. This had interested me as well because at this time the police were checking Nick’s finger prints to check his hands for any type of gun residue. When the police ask Nick if he is okay and says, “Fine by me”, raises question by police. Everyone in the town believes that Nick has done something to Amy. The only person that believes Nick is himself, and sometimes that’s all you need but in this case with no evidence and information, it’s just not.

            The Gone Girl Mystery Kit is one of the most exhilarating products on the market. Everyone has those what if moments and now you have the ability to set up your own crime scene and collect your own evidence. Whatever you desire the verdict is yours. One of the most enjoyable moments is when you can do your own investigation exactly how you want, over and over again. That’s the priceless aspect of this product.

Post 2: What is a book?

       A book is a game. Books require work, dedication and a lot of self motivation. You have to continue to read to get better and become a more fluent reader. Dedication and motivation come into play when you are finishing reading a book. Most people read half the book and then just skip to the end. Motivation and dedication will be what brings to the end and succeed. A book is like a game, without struggle there is no success. I don't think it's useful at all to determine what's important about a book. That takes away the unique and creativity away from the writer and then creates a lack of respect for the book. A book is a book no matter how you read it. If you have an actual copy, e book, or even have an audio version it's all the same, nothing changes. Whatever you prefer, reading is preference and to keep a reader engaged it comes down to what they like. Most bookstores are closing down anyways and Barnes and Nobel barely have books in stock. Books are just a different kind of interest to people, it's either you love it or you hate it. Magical can mean hate to someone as easily as one can love. I really can't deal with not sport/fitness related books and anything less than that is just a mess.
   
       Books have there own characteristics just like people do. I think that a book can have personality traits in ways that define the book and how you read them. Authors give books the attire of definition and they all are very unique. Nicholas Sparks books are very similar to the rest of the books that he writes but they carry the love and warm personality. Action books are cool because they aren't as predictable as the love books. Action provides the human traits of criminal intent that include lying, cheating, murder, and the long list that some people possess too much of.  I enjoy sport related books most of the time, but books that have a sense of uniqueness and stand out are the ones I really enjoy reading.
