If You Could See Me Now...

I forgot how much I like to read. I don't get much time to do it at school and I had forgotten how much I love to read. A good book is like...stew. A good, chunky stew, warm, perfectly seasoned stew on a cold day where you can curl up in a large comfy chair next to a fireplace and eat it with a glass of wine. And coffee afterwards of course. they're just...comforting. They let you escape into a world better than your own. A world that has a definite beginning and end that you can figure out in a few pages. A world where everything may be terrible and out of control but you know that it's gonna be ok eventually because everything is always ok eventually in books.

One thing that I will have in every house that I ever live in, is a library. Now I'm not one to hoard books, I believe one of the most beautiful things about them is that they can be passed on and enjoyed by many people before they make their way back to you, so borrowing would definitely be allowed. As for now, my library exists in multiple places, and is always changing as I trade books with friends. Here are a few of my favorites that will be in my library someday. You should check them out.
"P.S. I love you", and "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahearn. She's written several other really good books too.
"Inkheart", it's sequel "Inkspell", "The Thief Lord" and "Dragon Rider" All by Cornelia Funke
"A Dangerous Dress"
"Collected Poems" by E.A. Robinson
"Captivating" by John and Stacy Eldridge
"Do You Think I'm Beautiful?" by Angela Thomas
"The Five People You Meet in Heaven"
"Harry Potter" Years 1-7 by J.K. Rowling
"The Chronicles of Narnia"by C.S. Lewis

That's good for a start, I'm sure we'll come up with lots more over the years.

Love and Peace or Else!

P.S.
I love you...
