When I finished reading Between Shades of Grey, I was sad because I didn't want the book to end. This happens every time I finish a book. I want to read more, I want to know more, I don't want it to be over. It's a bitter sweet feeling. For me, reading is like traveling to a whole other world and finishing a book is like having to come back to reality. When I was reading Between Shades of Grey I was a part of the book. I was in the book. I was going through everything that the characters were going through. I cried with them, and I laughed with them. And the last page of the book was like a slap in the face from real life.
My favorite genre to read is historical fiction, hence being sad over Between Shades of Grey ending. I am very interested in learning about the holocaust, and World War 2, and any historical even honestly. History is just one of my favorite subjects to learn about, I could honestly even just read a history text book... But so also really appreciate the beauty of writing, so obviously historical fiction is the best option because it combines real events with a person's imagination.
I don't think reading more would make a person a better writer. I go to art museum pretty often, but it definitely has not made me a better artists. I even watch diy videos, but they still don't really make me a better artist. To be a good writer, I feel like you have to have a loud mind. You don't have to have a loud voice, and you don't even have to be some great speaker. To write well, you have to know how to tie words together and make it seem amazing. You could describe a color, but if you use the right words, that could be the most beautiful piece ever. Just like with art, just because I enjoy looking at beautiful paintings, doesn't mean i know how to correctly blend the colors and swirl the brush to replicate the beautiful painting.
I think I could write a book someday. I would want it to be a historical fiction about the holocaust. I have a great image in my head of a book about the holocaust. See, there are plenty historical fiction novels written from the perspective of the prey, but I want to make one from the perspective of the predator. I have yet to encounter a book from the eyes of a Nazi, and I want to write one. These people were conditioned to think Jews are bad. The same way we are conditioned to believe something or not believe something. It's very interesting to me, the whole concept of killing someone because of how low you think of them. And the craziest part is that they were conditioned to believe this by the government, by their friends, their loved ones... and anyone who disagreed was punished. The only thing i'd want written under the "About the Author" is "They told me being able to write wouldn't get me anywhere."

I loved Between Shades of Gray, too! You read that in my class freshman year, didn't you? We have such similar taste in books!
