Growing up, one of my favorite things to do was read. Every two weeks I looked forward to the Scholastic reader, because I knew my dad would end up buying me 5-6 books every time. I feel like reading allows you to escape real life and live someone else's life with the characters. To me, there is nothing better than reading a book and instantly feeling a connection. There are books that I pick up to read, and once I start I literally cannot put them down until I finish. Think of where we would be if we didn't have books to read. Some people underestimate the power of reading, yet they are the ones that will never experience a life outside of their life. From my love of reading, I get to experience places and feelings I never would have before.

Here are few of my favorite authors:

Jennifer Laurens
Gayle Forman
Richelle Mead
Anna Banks
Charlaine Harris
Alyson Noel
Becca Fitzpatrick

Keep in mind, I only said a few. I have a lot of authors I love, but I would never be able to list them all.
