bookLOVE

Let's be honest. I'm a real introvert. I force myself to be more outgoing. Friends at work act as if I'm lying when I tell them I'm truly an introvert. But it's true.

You see, my favorite "me time" is a hot bubble bath and a good book. Sometimes cuddling with my kitty. Like I said. INTROVERT.

Lately I'm reading a series that I'm embarrassed to admit to. I'll just call it brain candy. Because even though I understand there is no real substance that makes me rethink life or philosophy, it still sweeps me away into a story.

But even though these stories sweep me away, a little piece of them will always be apart of me. The characters that I relate to teach me how I want to treat people, what hobbies I may want to adopt, the type of person I want to be. 

I remember my first favorite book that I re-read over and over again when I was in 1st grade. It was "Matilda" by Roald Dahl. He became my favorite author and I went on to collect his books. The imagination put into his books taught me from a very young age that nothing is impossible. 

I truly, madly, DEEPLY LOVE books :).

If you ever feel like the world is too much to take on.... open a book and escape for awhile.
