Reading Interest Survey

1.) How do I feel about reading?
To be honest, I am not a big reader at all. I cannot remember the last time I finished or really even started a book for pleasure. Being a student as well as having a job leaves me with little to no time for reading that is not related to my schooling. I also just do not find joy in reading and I blame the media because sitting and reading a book does not sound appealing, but I do want to attempt to try and enjoy it once I have time in the summer.

2.)What types of books have I read?
Thinking back to a couple years ago when I started my last book, it was a crime-related novel. That is mainly what I am interested in. I remember back in elementary when I was a big reader, I loved Diary of a Wimpy and books similar to that.

3.) Hobbies I like to do outside of school:
Outside of school, I enjoy lifting weights at the gym, going fishing, and relaxing at home.

4.) Favourite Author:
My favourite author would have to be Jeff Kinney

5.) The last book I read and enjoyed:
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid – The Meltdown was the last book I enjoyed. My mum read to me every night probably up to grade 6 or 7. When this came out in 2018 I was feeling nostalgic and begged my mum to read the first bit of it to me and it was great. I finished it on my own and enjoyed it.

6.) How have I been spending my time over winter break?
Over winter break I continued working as a gymnastics coach for half of it and then got a real break starting on December 22nd. I spent Christmas in Trail, BC with my boyfriend and his family where we fished in the Columbia River pretty much every day. I came back to Cranbrook to spend New Year’s with my friends and also went to my mum’s to do Christmas with her!

7.) What subjects and topics do I enjoy learning about?
I enjoy learning about fitness. I also love watching nature shows and take an interest in learning about different types of animals. And of course, I love learning about gymnastics.

8.)If I could read a book about one thing what would it be?
Crime, preferably true crime.
