Why I Can't Live Without Books.
I can remember a time when I never read. Sad I know, but it’s also one of my biggest regrets. When I look back on my childhood, I had a great time but I can’t help ask myself ‘what would it have been like if I’d read?’ If I’m honest I feel like I’ve missed out on something.
Fast forward 10 years and it brings me to my early 20’s and I did start to read slowly but I never really found the right genre until Twilight and Twilight of course made me discover a whole new world of young adult books and I was hooked from the start.
Reading for me now is a part of my everyday life. I cannot NOT read. There is never a time where I’m not halfway through a book or even when I’m not thinking of reading. Reading has become a passion. It’s something not only to fall in love with but it’s an escape into someone else’s world and a journey of discovery. A discovery into all the magical what if’s of the world. What if this really happened? Whether it is contemporary or dystopia, or sci-fi or fantasy I love it. I love seeing the ideas that other people have and, read them from the pages and get lost in the world that is created. It’s the best feeling when you’ve finished a book that you absolutely loved and you can’t stop thinking about it. It’s even better when you have people around you that you can share your thoughts with too.
So, it’s plain and simple for me, I love reading and it’s a love that won’t be ever going away.
World Book Day have kindly donated a YA book bundle for one lucky winner. This giveaway is only open to UK & IRE and is open until 11th March 2015.

Because I love to read. I love the feelings that come with a good book and looking forward to the next time I can pick it up and carry on the story.
I can't live without books because there is nothing I love more than relaxing and escaping into a new world. I will never be finished with my continuously growing to-read list :)
