 Hello, My name is Liam Barker I am in 7th grade and I am blogging about my favorite books. I am going to let you know now that most of these books are going to be fantasy because that is my favorite genre. An author that inspires me is Rick Riordan because he tells such fantastic stories and it is incredible  how involved his books make you feel.   A personal goal for me with this blog is to share my love of reading to others and maybe even make them want to read some of my favorites. I also want to keep myself pro active and doing things other than just playing video games.
