I was hoping that by the end of the year, I’d have read at least 10 books but sadly, your girl somehow only managed to read 3.
3 – what the actual fuck?!
Started reading frequently when I was in grade 7 and I was constantly checking books out of the school library (I think I even lost a few).
Back then I was into Sweet Valley High and I could just never get enough. The action, mystery and romance; I loved getting sucked right into the story to the point where I couldn’t put the book down until finished it because I found it so intriguing.
That was when my love for the written art began. My nose was constantly in a book!
I got older and as they say “life got in the way” and I read less and less as time went on.
Sometimes I miss the old me, the one who always made time to read. I’ve tried to read more serious books like the self-help type but those are just not MY thing, in fact, I have a book that was bought for me years ago and I have yet to finish it but I guess you’re meant to take your time with those because they give you “homework” to do but I’m pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to take years (hahahah).
Most of the books I’ve read in the past are part of a series and have had great movie adaptations, some examples are The Hunger Games and The Fault in our Stars. I must admit I do get a little annoyed when what I read in the book doesn’t quite translate on-screen, but that’s just me.
Of course, when we read stories we paint our own pictures in our heads so it’s understandable when sometimes those pictures aren’t quite the same.
