Me, Myself, and I

I have always loved to read, and I have always been proficient in reading. I like to read whenever I can. When I read I unlock a doorway into a different world. I can go anywhere, I can see anything, I can become anyone. I know that sounds kinda corny, but I just have always loved to read.
Reading has always been important in my life and when I was in elementary school I would go down to the library and check out as many books as I could. Of course I was at the school library and could only check out so many books and I could only read the books they have at the library.
I now buy my books at Barnes and Noble. I love that store because I can get any book that I need there and I can read as much as I want. I have my own mini library in my room, I already have more than 200 books. I have read everyone, and hope to continue.
I love to read books about real life situations that teens get thrown into, I also like sci-fi/ fantasy.
My favorite book right now is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. I really enjoy all four of the books. Once you read the first one you can't leave the others unread. There are no slow spots in that book and you can't get bored with that book. I would recommend that book to anyone, my 9 year old cousin read that book and loved it. Even if you don't like vampire books, this is an excellent book full of great writing.

Brieleigh-
I can completely relate to your post. I have always felt like reading a book is a way to live vicariously, and get away from things. I think part of it is because I have such an active imagination- I am able to really get into the characters. I am sure that your love of reading will serve you well in journalism-being well read is always an asset!
I am glad that you enjoyed the Twilight series; I have heard a lot of good things about those books, and hope to read one soon. The vampire thing is a little intimidating, though. :)
