Books. They're probably my favorite thing on this Earth. Other than my baby boys😂

People judge me on how open and expressive I am with books. I literally freak out about anything. They make me so happy. I'm also a very loud person so...yeah lets just say I get loud about books.

A few years ago you could almost always see me with a book in my hand. Then I kind of fell away from reading. I didn't really have time and I just didn't really think it was that important anymore. I slowly started reading small fanfictions.

I then found a new series called Dorothy Must Die. It was the first actual published hard cover kind of book. I absolutely love it. Its sparked my interest in long series and books again. It makes my heart so happy. Unfortunetly I had rush reading the first 3 books because I accidently got the third book from the library before I read the first and second book. Thankfully theres a forth book and I'll be able to take my time on that.

People sometimes as I me why I read so much. Well because its an escape. I slip into their world. I see what they're doing through my own eyes. I feel like I'm with them. Or more like. I am the main character. I fill in all the missing parts of their image with mine. Like if their eye color was never mentioned I would just give me my honey colored ones.

In Dorothy Must Die the main character is named, Amy. Her hair length wasn't mentioned until the third book. So, as usual, I imagined her bright dyed pink hair at my shoulder length. Even now that I know her hair is long I still imagine her hair in my length.

I can feel the characters heartbreak, joy, confusion, every emotion. I feel their strength. I feel their power flowing through my own veins. I feel so powerful reading. I love slipping into their situations. I escape my problems and slip into their distant ones.

Tv shows are different. You see all the characters in the flesh. The picture already painted. But books. You create the scene. You design the characters. It makes it so much more personal. At least for me.
