This being a writer's RPG, I'm assuming most of you are into reading. Well, I have a confession to make. I am obsessed.
There is no way to describe how much I love reading, even stupid things like brochures. It is calming to me. When I'm nervous before getting on stage or going to a party (because that causes me serious anxiety), I can just read and it completely and entirely relaxes me. I will read at night and it helps me sleep, or when I'm excited or frustrated to calm myself down. Even when I'm disappointed, it makes me feel better to enjoy the success of my favorite character. There is no end to the uses of books.
This is all fine and dandy until I run out of things to read. I cannot count the number of times I've run into the living room, practically hyperventilating. "Ijustfinishedthisbook-myfavoritecharacterdied-IneedanewoneNOW!" My family doesn't even think it's weird anymore. They do think it's weird however, when I cry over books. Not throwing a fit like a toddler when I can't get them, just mourning my beloved characters' deaths. Sometimes, you just can't help it! *Cough* The Fault In Our Stars *cough*
During Summer, it seems there is no shortage of friends shoving books into my face. "Here, read this! It was my favorite. Oh, and this one...and this one..." But when school starts up, it's like I hit a book drought when, seconds earlier, I had been swimming in the oasis (wow, that was a freaky comparison). The lack of good reads in the school library is just one more reason to fear starting High School.
For those of you who may or may not be in a book drought of their own, I have gathered a list of books that will keep you busy for at least a week. *dramatic announcer voice* Here I have compiled-
Tahlia's list of can't-put-it-down books:
*City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
*Legend by Marie Lu
*Divergent by Veronica Roth...
