Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post.

I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun. 

And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped!

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I like to read, but there aren't vey many books there already.

For example, where can I find some good detective books for people my age (12)? Other than Skulduggery Pleasant, I can't seem to find any😒! So, I want to try and write one, which is easier said than done!

I love loaning people books and really want to join a book club. I enjoy this because I love to talk about books with people, and this way I will have a easy way to do this! As for the book club, well, the point of a book club is to talk about books!

Some of my favourite authors are: Eoin Colfer, Derek Landy, Suzanne Collins, James Patterson, Chris Grabenstein, Jacqueline Wilson,  David Baddiel and Veronica Roth.

I know that's really quite a long list, but they all write wonderful books that I really enjoy! For example Eoin Colfer wrote the Supernatralist and the Artemis Fowl series, which I really like. Derek Landy writes the Skulduggery Pleasant series I mentioned before and so on.

I am currently reading Robbo: Now You’re Gonna Believe Us. I am really enjoying this book, which I wasn’t sure I would as it is quite different from other books I have been reading lately. This book follows Liverpool, my favourite football team, on their journey to become Premier League winners from the perspective of one of their players, Andy Robertson or “Robbo”

Well, there it is! A post without a subject! I’m not sure if it was a good idea, so please let me know if you guys liked it and would like for us to do more posts like this! Can’t wait to hear what you think!!

Happy Reading

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus
