Books

We have been back in Canada for a couple of days now but I don't really have anything Canadian to post about so I thought I would share a little bit of myself instead.  One of my goals for the New Year is to read 50 books and I am looking for suggestions if people have any good ones for me. 

For this post, I thought I would share why I love books so much. When I read a book, especially the kind of books that I like, I am transported into a new world.  I get to go on adventures and imagine a different world.  My heart can break for certain characters and yet I find myself encouraging and willing others on.  Depending on the writing, as I read I can experience an emotional rollercoaster.

The best part of books is that when I am reading them I am never alone.  No matter where I am or how lonely I may feel as soon as I open a book I instantly have friends.  Books are comforting to me and when read them I feel I am home.
