Second Glance

I would describe myself as a former reader because I always enjoyed reading for fun. In elementary school, it was my favorite thing to do. I always read multiple series in every moment of free time. I used to read practically every night in middle school, but because of my busy schedule, I currently don't have the time to sit down and read, just for the love of reading.
The book I’m reading entitled Second Glance is basically about multiple people’s stories of their encounters with ghosts. Some plots include a story about a young boy with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) which is a disease that gives you skin extremely sensitive to UV light. There is also a story about an old man attempting to build a strip mall on top of an Indian burial ground. The main plot is about a man named Ross who has attempted suicide multiple times and has even legally killed himself (for 7 minutes). He is a ghosthunter who has never seen a ghost, but he has been haunted by the loss of his fiancée Aimee, who died in a car accident. So far the book has been introducing all of these story plots as well as piecing together many of the characters’ background histories.

1. I chose this book because I like supernatural and fantasy novels. I most enjoy reading this genre because of each book’s uniqueness, with each story different from everyday life.
2. I always like to read every night right before I go to sleep, usually a small amount, like one or two chapters.
3. This book has reminded me of one of my favorite books Gone by Michael Grant, because they are both fantasy novels, but also because of the similar formatting. Both books have multiple subplots that switch on and off within each of the chapters. I am anticipating that all of these stories will eventually come together to circle one main plot.
