This is my 1st reading challenge on goodreads. I made my goal this year to read 120 books.

Good luck on your first reading challenge!
How is your first-ever challenge going? Have you read any particularly good books?

But I've read some great books so far. Karma by Cathy Ostlere and Ophelia by Lisa Klein are my two official favorites. I've also discovered the Grisha Trilogy and the Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. So it's been great! Thanks for asking!
That's okay! 100 books is still really impressive when you're trying to balance other responsibilities. What do you study?

I'm majoring in English, but I'm still finishing up my general education classes and currently taking a Creative Writing class for my major. I want to be a high school English teacher. :3
Very cool! How are you liking the creative writing class?

I was wondering about that... I've heard that college-level creative writing classes are more about pushing you to write something in a particular format or style. The creative writing class I took in high school sounds like yours - pretty free-form and fun.

The creative writing class I took..." Yeah, I had to write a poem (at least 10 lines), a fiction story (no fantasy, sci-fi, etc... basically just a made up contemporary story), and then a sort of non-fiction story (a story about something that has happened in our life). So it was sort of free, but not really. The teacher is awesome though and the class is alright, but I would have loved to have more fun writing activities as a class. In high school, my whole class wrote a murder mystery together which was pretty amazing.
Sorry I didn't see this right away. The idea of writing a story together sounds fascinating! Hopefully you enjoy your other classes more. :)
