I would sleep with books under my pillow when I was a toddler. In elementary, middle school, and even the first year or so of high school, you could never catch me without a book in my hand. That&#8217;s always been my luxury get away and I felt incomplete without knowing that a book was under my desk or in my book bag. I still feel incomplete without my books. I typically stuff my book bag with work and like three different books that I don&#8217;t even have time to read. I&#8217;m aware that I don&#8217;t have time to read but, as I said before, the knowledge of them being near me is so comforting. Some of my top favorites are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Book Thief<\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I Am The Messenger<\/span> by Markus Zusak, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Will Grayson, Will Grayson<\/span> by John Green, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The House of the Scorpion<\/span> by Nancy Farmer. I&#8217;ve been into so many different genres of books like thrill, horror, comedy, and drama. I was always the top reader in elementary school. Lately, though, I haven&#8217;t been reading. I mean, I finished and started a book over the Christmas break but I want to catch up on so much more. I miss reading with all of my heart and I don&#8217;t have as much time to go to a bookstore and read all the summaries and skim through the pages. So, it kind of hinders me from being able to find books that I could be interested in. Which brings me to why I&#8217;ve written this post. If anyone has any books that they&#8217;d think I&#8217;d be remotely interested in, please please please give me a list or something!! I really miss reading with all my heart and I&#8217;m gonna be packing my summer with reading and catching up on what I&#8217;ve been missing. So yeah!
