I have read a lot of books in my time....most of them for fun.
Most kids reactions these days would be something along the lines of:
Whhaaatttt?
Why would you do that? Can't you just watch the movie?
And I admit, with so many other distractions around, it's hard to tell exactly why I love it.
What kid wants to sit in a room with no noise save for the one in their head?
But I guess it's because I, and I alone, control what the words mean to me.
I get to imagine what the lead character looks like.
I get to determine what color the mountains are in the background.
I get to decide his or her patterns of movement and expression.
I don’t know what it is, but a bookstore is like my monetary weakness.
My husband knows that if I go into one, I WILL come out with something in my hand when all is said and done.
And I like Fantasy/Sci-Fi.
You know, as my friends call it, “the weird stuff”
In that I take after my dad.
I don’t care if it’s “weird”. I love it all.
Give me all the magic, monsters, mystery, and murder you can fit into one book.
Some may say I tend to lean towards the “young adult” section………
(Which means teenagers to publishers.)
But I disagree.
25 is still a “young adult”. And I like what I like. So there.
