Reading during the school year. It really is difficult. With finals, homework, state tests, SATs, and whatever else takes away from your favorite activity (whether it be reading, writing or whatever else you enjoy). I've realized that my reading speed decreases as I go through the year and then when Summer or Winter/Spring Break comes, BAM, I'm back to finishing a book-a-day. The struggle of student life. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go study for my Science State Test. *Sigh*
CAN'T I JUST GO READ!?

The worst thing that a reader gets: Hangovers. Book hangovers. The moment when you're too stubborn to start a new book because you're still stuck in the last one. I had this feeling most when I finished The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa. It has such a big cliffhanger, you wouldn't even understand. Or even Allegiant, that had everything wrapped up and tied with a little bow ( not that we particularly like the bow) , yet it still made us want to cry that it was over and that the last page and every page in-between were read and pushed aside. And sadly, book hangovers cannot be slept off. They are always a dark cloud hovering over your head following you around.
