What are books for?

What do you think books are for?
I think books are for learning many great things, and for the sheer pleasure of being drawn into another person's imagination, into the wonderful world of fantasies, for being amazed by the nonfictional (books about real things, in this case) wonders, brought to you by an author's words that describe the world to you, in wonderful sentences. Now that is a book.
A wonderful world of imagination, the wonders of the world, the author's words... Ahhhhh. To sit in the grass, the sun pouring over your book, to smell the pages of a book while on a hammock, to feel the awesomeness of a book in your hand, being able to travel to a world where life is interesting, intense, and full of action, feeling the trampoline or the warm, comfortable couch underneath you... To feel as if you are a character, to feel the story happening to you, feeling it come to life...
Libraries, full of books, helpful, kind librarians, the smell of books all around you, a quiet place, to be drawn into an amazing world, that would have never happened if you hadn't picked up that book, or if the author had not decided to write that book.
And that is why you should write (or at least try to) a book. So that many others can be able to have that amazing experience of learning what your imagination contains, what great stories have been forming in your mind, ever since you learned what a book was even worth, much less what it was about. Even if you can't publish a book now, doesn't mean that you can't when you're older! If you just keep writing, pretty soon, you'll be so good at it, maybe then, you can write a book!

Books are amazing portals that bring you into different worlds. They make fictional worlds, become real.
Glorious Books!!!!

p.s. Sorry if you think some of the books that I will recommend aren't very good.

You and Books

  Have you ever wondered how many books are in the world?
Just think, there are millions of libraries right? So, all the books in your library, multiplied by who knows how much, equals...?
Just imagine if one of those books (or series of books) was yours?
Wouldn't that be awesome?
If only it could actually happen, right? It can! If you have what you think is an amazing story idea, knock yourself out!
I've found that writing the story in Word, is quite easy. I think that saving it in Dropbox is nice, too.
  If your story is really good, you might just make some money on publishing it. Nice!
Think about J.K. Rowling's books, the Harry Potter series. They were turned into movies, they were so good. It's a possibility that you could also have your book turned into a movie too!  
 Or, you could start a blog. A blog about anything! The best part about all this is not making money, it's having fun. You can have all sorts of fun!
And the only limit is your imagination!

Reading Rocks!

I love books.
You love books.
The WORLD  loves books... Don't they?
This blog is all about books, in case you haven't noticed.
I assure you, that all these books are great... If you're a tween.
I hope you will like this blog.

There's tons of books that I'm reading, and I thought that if I think they're good, you might too.
All these books, I assure you, are worthwhile. Some of them, I will just read over again, to make sure that they still have that wonderful charm.
Although, if you are a kid that absolutely HATES  summer reading, this possibly would be a bore to you. If you are a kid that thinks anybody that reads books in the summer, is a stupid bookworm, then this will not be of interest to you. If you are a boy, don't throw up. I apologize, but there will  be a couple of girly books. Also, I encourage you to read some of these books. Most of them are at the library, so I hope that will be easier for you.
Reading Rocks!!!!!

P.S. Boys, don't give up hope, there will also be boyish books. Enjoy!
