To quote one of my favorite childhood shows, Arthur, " Have fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card." Books are a gateway to hundreds of different worlds where people can escape from their presents world and explore a whole new one.
One of my all time favorite book serious is Harry Potter. I am proud to be a part of the Harry Potter generations! I was one of those fans who would waiting in line for the midnight release of the next book and the movies then not sleeping or doing anything else for the next few days. For weeks my friends and I would talk endlessly about the new Harry Potter book. We would discuss our favorite parts, characters and what we felt might happen next. To me Harry Potter was more then just a book but a way to escape from the stresses of life. This may sound cheesy but the characters of Harry Potter play a huge part of my adolescent years.
I love to read and I agree that it truly is fun to have a library card where thousands of books are waiting for you to explore and join in on their adventures. During the school year I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the library but this week I am going to work on remembering the joys of the library.
I remember doing the same thing for the book releases and movies! It was always so fun to be involved in something like that with your family and friends. I noticed it really gave us something to bond over and a common thing that we all love.
ReplyDeleteI love reading books and I love libraries and book stores. Books are my escape and whenever I feel stressed or sad or frustrated I love to sit down with a really good book and just relax. I get to take a break from my frustrations and escape into a new world. I love that!
ReplyDeleteI loved the school library in middle school! I would always carry half a dozen books around with me. My love/hate relationship was with the limit on how many I could check out at a time.
