I'm a book drunkard.

^^^My life^^^

I sometimes wonder if I should even be ALLOWED to read books....?? Like seriously though. 

I have such a vivid imagination that books become my life. I jump into the pages of a book. (have you ever read Inkheart? Man. If that were real.....*swoon*) I mistake happenings in the books I read for real life happenings. I'm like....did I?....Nah...I am such a confused person. Moving on. 

I'm also a really picky reader. REALLY picky reader. Or maybe I just have book hangovers? Probably that. It takes me a couple months to find a new book and then get sucked into the pages. 

Hey you. Look at this quote, "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be digested thoroughly." (Mo from Inkheart) AMEN. Yeah. I love that. 

Okay but anyways. I really love books. Like a lot. 

When I was younger I had piles of books that I was "going-to-read" but really I just liked saying I was going to read them. Instead I would pull out the science books and get lost in the wonder of our world. My desk is currently covered in books that I want to read. Man. My list of books never ends does it? If I didn't have to work or go to school and I could survive on books or get payed to read book, than WHOA, I would. :) 

But man, books are so good for you! Ya know when you sit around watching tv all day (not that I or anyone else has ever done that). It's like "Hey. I just cut my life in half by watching this show, and then that guy died....and why did I watch this?? and my brain just fried, I think I'm going to go eat some potato chips."

But when you read a book!! Your brain is getting bigger and stronger and you're prolonging your life! You feel alive! Like you have actually been doing something, rather than staring at a screen watching images flash by. You are absorbing the words, and devouring the book. Like food for your brain. ^_^ 

There is this quote, by some person named L.M. Montgomery, 

"I am simply a book drunkard. Books have the same irresistible temptation that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them." 

I'm a book drunkard.  

And just because we all could add some more books to our to-read-list, here are my favorite books! (I'm pretty sure you've read them, or heard of them, because they are rather popular books) 

• Inkheart - Cornelia Funke  (the whole series is so captivating. My favorite is the third.)
• Harry Potter - J.K. Rowing. (I'm a utter Potterhead. Goodness. Those books.)
• The Hunger Games! - Suzanne Collins  (Such. Good. Books.) 
• The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini (This is such an amazing book. I was in tears) 
• A Million Miles in a Thousand Years - Donald Miller (SUCH a life changing book)
• Percy Jackon - Rick Riordan (and any other Rick Riordan books. So good!) 
• Fablehaven - Brandon Mull 
• The City of Ember - Jeanne DuPRAU  (the whole series is super good)
• The Maze Runner - James Dashner

Anyways. I really like those books. But I don't only read fantasy. Trust me. I have such a long list of books I want to read, maybe when I'm old and sippin' prune juice I'll read them. 

What are your favorite books? I'm always looking for good books to read. I'd love to hear! :)
