When I read, I sometimes get lost in the book. I like seeing through the character’s eyes, experiencing what is happening to them and feeling what emotions they are being faced with. When I set down a book a few minutes later, I thought: who was I just with? Like I was with an actual human, like I was with a friend. I read because it makes me see a whole new side to a story. It’s fun to be in the story with the characters and not just looking at a page. Most recently I read The Witch, the Sword and the Cursed Knights. When the character had an encounter with a monster I felt like it was happening to me. This book was so good it actually made me feel like I was in the scene.
If anyone asks me what is your favorite book? I will immediately reply without any hesitation: Keeper of the Lost Cities. When I first picked up this book I was not very excited to read it. I had gotten it as a book recommendation from my friend. She said it was her favorite book and wanted me to read it so we could talk about the book together. When I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities I could not stop. Soon I was on the 8th book and my friend was still on the 6th. This book made me realize that I’m more into fantasy than I thought.
When I finish reading a book I am sad, like my friend just moved away. Every time I spend about a week without a book to read. I usually ask my friends for recommendations. At first I am always hesitant about reading a new book recommended by my friend, but soon I can’t stop reading and get pulled into the story. When I am done reading it I recommend it to my friends hoping they will love the book as much as I did.
