My thoughts on Books...

Books are one of the most amazing things in the world. They can take you away from your life, put you into a world you had no idea existed, free you from the stress and troubles of everyday life. They bring you comfort when your mind is busy and give you a new point of view for life. 

I can see how one would think that books are boring and dull; if you cannot find a book that captures your attention, it is very difficult to find reading enjoyable. The trick is to finding the things that interest you and then look for a book that matches with you. Reading is a lot like dating; some books click, some don't. But just because the person, (or book) isn't the right match, does that mean you should give up all together and die a lonely sad cat lady (or man)?

Finding that perfect book isn't easy, but eventually you will stumble across one that changes your life and you will come to love it and read it over and over again. Books are amazing; from their stories, to their smell, to wrapping yourself in a blanket in the winter with a cup of tea and reading until late into the evening. If you haven't ever done this, I highly suggest it. 

Books are the perfect way to go on a vacation without ever leaving your home. You can learn about different places and relax while the author tells you their story. You will never regret picking up a book and relaxing as you read it from beginning to end.

That I can promise you.
