Magic of Books

“For as long as I can remember I’ve loved reading. My teachers all say they remember me walking the school halls with big books under my arm. I remember hiding under the bed to read instead of partaking in family parties and events. I’d read all night in the bath, while using my toes to add more warm water. In many ways it was reading that lead me to writing. The book which stands out most for me is ‘The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner.’ it is a fantasy adventure to rival them all. It will suck you in and hold you captive until the last page.”

Word of the Day Challenge — Sometimes

Magic of Books

When I was a boy
I never needed a toy
Literary adventure was my game
I’d read and alive it came

The words leapt from the pages
As I read for ages and ages
The characters were as real
Their world, I could smell and feel

We’d go to exotic places
Stop bad guys and win races
Climb to mountain peaks
And fight the ancient Greeks

Sometimes it’s not about the novel
But escaping life’s horror-filled hovel
Sometimes you need a mind quencher
The freedom of an adventure

I’ll go find a golden treasure
Reading’s my great pleasure
I’ve written many tales my friend
Because it’s so sad to reach the end

So, lets never stop reading
Authors write and keep breeding,
Stories full of magical text
Readers, where will you go next?
