Hi! My name is Grace, I am 19, I live in New York, and I want to get back into reading!
See when I was a kid I used to read all the time, and I mean allll the time. It didn't matter if I was on a bus, in the bath, walking the dog, eating dinner, or just had a few minutes to spare, I always had a book in my hand. In fact, my mom actually had to take away my books as punishment until I did whatever chore it was I had to do. I was naturally a quiet person growing up, and I was an only child, so I had to entertain myself, and books were my best friends growing up.
Well as I grew up I became friends with a girl on my bus who was my complete opposite, and slowly I became more social instead of closed up reading all the time. Throughout middle school, I saw my relationship with books decline, although we were still close enough that I hit someone when they tore a cover of a brand new book I had just gotten. Anyway, once high school started, social networking became popular and I made my transition into the internet, and never really read unless it was required by some class. Now I'm in college I waste my time on the internet or playing video games.
Slowly the realization is coming to me that I miss my books, my old friends, and I want to start reading again. I try and read but I get distracted half way through the novel or series and just never pick it up again. I just don't have the motivation for reading of my old books, so I want to start with something new. Does anyone have any suggestions for a great book? I read every genre except the fluffy romance/sex novels and fan fiction.
Thanks for reading my story! Please don't hesitate to say hello! I'm looking for new friends too!
If you really want to know something about me don't be afraid to ask!
