Do you ever just have a sudden rush of love for books? Like, you love to read in general but you have a very intense moment, similar to an epiphany, where you are just so happy that books are a thing. That you can go from reading a book about a blonde sassy detective to reading about time travel, or go from reading historical fiction to reading about superheroes. It’s just amazing, I’m so glad I get to experience so many stories and lives. That I’m not just confined to my own existence, and that I can lose and yet find myself in books and words.

Books are great.  I love books.  I love people who read books (and also people who don’t but I just especially love people who read books because I can connect with them a bit more).  You are a person and you love books?  Congrats, I love you.  Let’s be friends.  Come to my house and I’ll feed you chocolate while we sit around in our pajamas and talk about how much we love books.  Be my Book Buddy.

Gave up ¾ of the way through my 2015 reading challange because honestly most of the other categories listed are unfilled because I detest those types of books. I’d rather spend time reading books I like/love instead of attempting to power through books I hate just to say I’ve finished my challange. Life’s too short to read books you can’t stand.
