There just isn't quite anything like cuddling up next to a fire and getting into a book that whisks you away to another time and place.
I love to read. Love. It. And I've read a lot of books. But I love knowing that no matter how many books I have read, there are always so, so many more just waiting for it's pages to be turned.
In the age of electronics taking over the world, there's one advance I just can't get behind. I hate the thought of downloading books. I understand the convenience. I even understand how good it could be.
But there is something about holding a book in your hands, physically turning the pages and closing the book once you've finished the story. Nothing compares to that in my mind.
I love the smell of books. I love the feel of books. I love the look of books.
There are books that have seriously changed my life. Something in the story that gives me a different perspective. Something that helps me realize that I could be better. Something that I learn that I didn't know before. Sometimes, I just get inspired by a character and decide I want to be just like them.
I am thankful we have such an amazing form of both entertainment and learning, and that there are countless books for us to enjoy and benefit.
