Reading is powerful isn't it? I think its one of the most powerful things in the world. To have the ability to change someone's emotions, to make them cry, laugh, fall in love with these fictional characters, simply through the power of words, that to me is everything. Reading is an escape, it gives you the ability to see things from a different perspective, to see through the eyes of someone else, to live a thousand lives, and that is something I will always cherish. I can only hope you love what I write as much as I loved writing it. 
All the love, J.
