This quote right here basically sums up the way that I feel about books. I'm sure that A LOT of other people can relate to it as well. Which is why I am so excited to be starting this blog, because I just want to talk about books! Books take us out of this world and dump us in an alternate reality where we can escape life and pretend to be living in the middle of an adventure, or comedy, or mystery, or (my favorite) a romance. I can't tell you how many times a book has taken me out of real life and given me a small sanctuary, where I can forget about everything going on and pretend to be Elizabeth Bennet, or Katniss Everdeen, or a number of my other favorite characters.Books quite literally give us wings and fly us away to a better place. However, not all books "fly us away" or catch our interest enough for us to make it past the first chapter, which is sad and frustrating at the same time. Especially if other people have told you it's SO good. So here I am, starting this blog of book reviews to hopefully help my fellow readers find books that they know they will enjoy before they turn the first page. I'll start with a few of my favorites and then work my way from there! If you have any suggestions for books that you like, or books that you would like to read but aren't sure if they are worth the time, I would love to hear them! Hopefully I will be able to read them and write a post for each one.
Well, that's it for tonight I guess. I'll get my first real post on here tomorrow and that's where the fun will begin!
