This Is My Story.

A Thousand Lives.

'Someone who reads lives thousands of lives while someone who doesn't lives only one'

I Love that quote, it is probably the most realist quote out there and that's probably why I love reading so much, you get so lost and involved in a book and become a person who is looking on the characters lives it's almost as if you are in the book yourself, you vision yourself as part of the characters and I love that, and when the book ends you feel lost for awhile and you're not quite sure what to do with yourself, until you find a new book that sparks your interest and the whole thing starts all over again.

My dad said to my sister in law the other day that he doesn't know where I get my reading from, it must be from his mother, because neither of my parents can sit and read a book like I can, I literally spent a whole day in bed reading a 671 page book, because I was so engrossed and in love with the story that it's hard to put it down, it was actually after by Anna Todd, the girl who wrote it on wattpad and go so many reads that they published her, I read it on here first, but I had to buy an actual copy of the books, because there is no greater feeling than having a book in your hands and feeling the paper as you turn the page, I love a book, even though it is easier to read on your phone and you don't have to worry about finding a place for it when you're finished, having a book is so much more.

It means so much more.

I don't think I got my reading from anywhere, because why would someone love to read because of another family member? It's not exactly something you pass down through your genes so that seemed a little ridiculous to me.

I believe I love to read because you get lost, and you get to live in someone else's world instead of your own, I mean I love my world most of the time, but it's good to be able to step into another world and watch someone else's world unfold before you, even if it is fiction.

I guess it's the same for people who love movies, now don't get me wrong I love movies too because who doesn't? But the movies I love have books to them first, so I always read the book first, and then I find myself comparing it to the movie and feel disappointed when they take a really good or important part out of the movie.

Books are always better in my opinion, because a book can be as long as you want it to be, and you can add as much detail as you feel like adding, because that's what draws people in, that's what makes it become a different world I guess, because you're describing the scenes and the scents and the characters and you envision these people in your brain and how you think they would look, and then they make the movie and you instantly think "no just no that is not how I pictured them to look, I'm not going to like the movie now" but you still to see it, because you fell in love with the story and with the characters not with the actors, but it's still a disappointment in a way.

So sometimes you shouldn't watch the movie incase it ruins the book, because it ruins the perfect image you had in your head.

But you have to see the movie don't you? Because it's a book you fell in love with you have to see if the movie lived up to it.

I don't think I've been disappointed yet by a movie from the book.

I mean I was slightly with 50 shades a grey, they cut out some really relevant parts, and it wasn't exactly how it was written in the book or how I had envisioned it, the movie was still good and left me wanting more, but it could have been better.

When you read a book you're in your own little world, it's like your own little secret, but when you're watching a movie you're sharing it with other people, and you just don't get the same satisfaction.

I'm such a book worm it's ridiculous, but nothing wrong with being a nerd from time to time.
