Opening Statement

So, this is my first attempt at blogging, and I'm not really sure what to do. Although, I know what I want to talk about. Books. Since I was about 11 years old, books have been a way for me to escape. I have never had a good home life and reading gave me a way to forget reality and fall into a whole new world where I could basically create my own reality. This also cause some sort of a problem though, I tend to immerse myself into the book too much and when I read about someone battling drugs or cutting or something of that sort, I feel like I am that person, part of that world. I think how they do I want what they want and even if I have never done that thing before I crave it. I have to stop reading and come back to reality to stop myself.

I would like to use this blog to talk about my books. What I read, how I felt about it, and my ideas about if anything could have been different.

I would also like to use this blog to practice my writing skills, because one day I would like to write my own book.
