First off I just want to say thank you to everyone who reads, votes and comments on my poems. It means a lot to me. I'm glad that people like my work. I put a lot of work and thought into every single one. OK, now onto the poem.
When I mention books, most people sigh or lose interest. A lot of people don't understand why some of us love reading so much, or why we take it personally when one of our favorite characters are being antagonized.
Personally for me the world of books is the second best place on earth, the first one is the World of music. I can honestly sit or lay down for hours on end listening to audiobooks or reading books in braille. The world of books is just a magical place, and that doesn't just go as far as fantasy novels like Harry Potter. For me personally, books take me to another world, there a way to escape from reality at times. It's so easy for me to get wrapped up in a story that i'm reading and Connect so well with the storyline and the characters. The characters in books, especially my favorite ones are the ones that I can connect with really easily. It's as if I'm following them on their journey through whatever it maybe. I get so caught up in it that my emotions spiral out of control sometimes. Emotions that the characters feel I also feel them. If something happens that I don't like I take it very personally. It may sound strange to some of you, but that's just the way I am. And I know some people who can relate.
Let's focus on Harry Potter in particular since I have a lot to say about all the different books.
I'm not going to relay the whole story to you, but I'm just going to say how it affects me. So anyway, when I first started Reading it, I could sympathize with Harry and try to understand how hard it must've been for him to live in a house with people who absolutely hated him. When his aunt or uncle would say something unkind I would get annoyed. And when he finally put his foot down and left the house I was so happy and impressed.
And when he did other things I would be happy and proud. As I said I would get so wrapped up in it that the characters would start to resemble people in my life. When I read all of the other six books in braille, it was as if I had literally been transported into another world. I was always eager to know what was going to happen next going to happen next. I'm sure there are still a lot of us that are waiting patiently for our acceptance letter to Hogwarts.
Don't lie, you and I both know it's true.
Oh and when some of the died, I actually cried. Yes, those books mean A lot more to me than those of you who don't read will ever understand.
Reading fanfiction based around the characters still brings me great pleasure. And I'll be honest, I have read every single one of those books at least six times. There's just always something that I missed the last time.
OK no onto Romance novels. No do not stop reading! You're not allowed to go to sleep. Guys especially, read on.
When it comes to Romance novels, my emotions are just all over the place at times. When the girls or guys are upset I feel their pain as well. When somebody does something stupid, it's so hard not to shout it when I'm in a public place. Like I said I really do get wrapped up in the stories romance novels also make me really emotional. My favorite book, but also the one that made me cry the most is the fault in our stars by John Green.
That book is just amazing. It's romantic but at the same time very realistic considering the end. The movie makes me cry just as much as the book. But anyway moving on.
That's one of the books that I can really get into. Because number one there's a disabled character in it, and for once he's not a sideline A sideline character. Number two, Hazel is so much of the typical teenager. She doesn't care about how she has cancer, she just wants to live her life and has no interest in going to the support group. But the story gets even more interesting when her mom persuade her to go, because that's when we meet a Gustus and Isaac.
Apart from the fact that Hazel and a Gustus make a really cute couple, their friendship is just so normal. That's what makes John greens writing so great.
OK let's talk about another novel that I read very recently.
This book is a mix of romance and something else that I can't quite pinpoint.
It's called everything everything.
At first I'm really confused as to why Maddie is being locked up in her house for so long. I actually bought it when her mother said that she had SID.
And then when I found out that it was all a lie I was beyond mad. Horrified me that she could ever do something like that to her daughter. I mean yeah you can consider the circumstances, but it's still a really horrible thing to do. She missed out on a lot of things in those 18 years of her life.
However, she meets a guy called Ali when he moves into the house next-door to hers. In the movie they text each other constantly, but in the book version they emailed each other. Personally I prefer the movie version, but the book was still fantastic.
So anyway Maddie and Ali for a really good friendship, and Maddie persuades her nurse to let Ali come and visit her without her mom knowing. The first meeting is just so adorable. And it's even better when she decides to run away and go to Hawaii with him. It was awful that she became sick, but at the same time that was how she learned the truth.
But anyway, I'm digressing.
I could really feel Maddie's emotions, and it really upset me that she couldn't go outside for all those years. I would definitely recommend this book for those of you who love romance novels.
However I realize that I've written way too much, so I'm going to end it here.
But the ultimate message is, it's OK to be A bookworm. I'm one and I am proud. Books are amazing things, and I'm so glad that I got into them more when I was in my early teens. And for those of you who don't like reading, I would suggest trying to pick up something similar to either Harry Potter or just something that you think you might enjoy and give it a go. Hopefully you'll come to realize that reading is a lot of fun.
OK people, I hope you've enjoyed this really long poem. It just shows how much I love reading. Anyway bye-bye till next time 🙂💜
