    What keeps me reading is interesting characters I can relate to.
    Also, an interesting plot with many twists and turns and a cliff hanger at the end of a chapter.
    What keeps me reading is a great series where I already know the characters.

    What keeps me reading is when I want to find the answer to something, I look for it and then find more information that provokes more questions and this goes on....

    Jemima (Monday, 04 April 2016 01:35)

    Fiction
    What keeps me reading is books with humor in them and with interesting characters.
    Also, books with some pictures in them and I like books to do with diary's and that have really interesting chapter ends that you just can't stop reading.

    Non-Fiction
    What keeps me reading are books that aren't to hard to use and can actually be interesting not boring and that I can understand.

  • #3

    Maddie (Monday, 04 April 2016 01:44)

    What keeps me reading is twist and turns also connections and poetry because I love poetry so I look for more poetry. I connect to the characters by thinking about my family members and friends and see if they have anything in common.

    Nikolas (Monday, 04 April 2016 02:12)

    Fiction
    What keeps me reading is books with adventure because you don't know where the adventure could be or what tasks it involves. I also like a book with riddles because I like to make connections to the riddles. I also love a book with mystery because I can make a prediction to solve the mystery. I love a book with twists and turns because you never know what those twists and turns could be.

    Non-fiction
    What keeps me reading is that it is all real. And gives me information and one day I can use it. I love that some non-fiction books have very detailed pictures so I can see what is going on.

    Josiah (Monday, 04 April 2016 02:33)

    What keeps me reading is I start reading the book then I find out the problem and I want to find out what happens.
    When the plant ends I want to no if they do it or if they do not.

    Emerson (Monday, 04 April 2016 02:33)

    What keeps me reading is the fascinating facts in Guinness world records because they could be something that you would never think somebody would do. Pictures books keep me reading because there's no words so you have to look at the pictures to see what the story is saying.

  • #7

    Alex (Monday, 04 April 2016 02:45)

    Christa S (Monday, 04 April 2016 02:58)

    What keeps me reading is how in books there are educational, mysteries and series and it keep me wanting to read more to find out what happens next . Books keep me busy and allow me to learn from books, but the best thing about these books is that it keeps me interested in reading when I chose a book that I like. Books can gives you adventure,dramatic and how it can be funny and make you laugh. That's what keeps me reading and I love to read.

    Henry (Monday, 04 April 2016 03:48)

    What keeps me reading is when I am reading a chapter and I want to stop but the answers on the next chapter which makes me read more until there is not much on the next chapter.

    Wil Y (Monday, 04 April 2016 04:23)

    This is what keeps me reading, Cliff hangers at the end of a chapter that will force me to keep reading! If there's news about sport that I want to find out I could look in the newspaper. If a book is hilarious and full of humour, I'll read more and more! I love reading about sports the most.

    David (Monday, 04 April 2016 05:06)

    [Whenever I finish a chapter I should turn my bed-side light off but instead I just read a paragraph of the next chapter and end up reading the whole chapter because it is so interesting.
    I never give up a book because I get locked into the subject and just can't stop!
    Also I like learning and books are a great place to learn stuff that I'm interested in.]
