I read to fall in love with the world. To experience. To gain perspective. To live. To go on an adventure I’d otherwise never get a taste of in my dreary upstate bedroom. With books I can slay dragons, travel the world, live in London during the 1800s, study magic in a castle, meet a crazy man in a Mercury hat. With books, I’m not just a waitress — I’m a princess, a dragon slayer, a tree nymph. With books I get to live so many different lives, meet so many friends, lovers, enemies… enemies-to-lovers. With books I can switch my reality from snow to magic. Wealth is what helps the rich gain experiences. Books are what helps me.
