Today, there are so many different genres and types and authors of thousands of millions of books worldwide. But books are so much more than ink on pages. To many people, books are a way to escape the real world, and enter the world of their dreams. My favorite kind of books are killer mystery, paranormal, post-apocalyptic, or dystopian/utopian societies. There are many reasons why I enjoy these genres of books, but it's mostly because of the suspense and I love the thrill.
When I was younger, though, I was not a big fan of reading. But once I found the perfect book that suited my interests, I instantly fell in love with reading. To me, books are a comforting thing. For example, if you just want to hear life from a different point of view or hear someone else's story, books are there. I think of books as little adventures that allow you to imagine what it like to experience life in someone else's shoes. I really enjoy reading novels about post-apocalyptic or dystopian/utopian societies because it really gets my brain thinking 'what if that actually happened to me' or 'what would I do if this suddenly happened'. For Christmas last year, I got 2 books that seemed very interesting to me because they made me wonder about the future. One book was called 'Hungry', which was about a dystopian society where food no longer exists and its citizens take pills to control their hunger. The second book was called 'Monument 14', which is the first of a trilogy. It is about 14 kids who survive a freak hail storm and a dangerous chemical leak that infected the air, all while hiding in a supermarket.
Another thing I enjoy is going to Barnes and Noble to check out the newest books, and to find new books that peak my interest. I recently found a handful of books that seemed very interesting. The first one I found was titled, 'Zodiac', which is about a the zodiac symbols and that a 13th symbol is striking back at the known 12, which are divided into planets by the people's symbols. It also stated that a young girl must travel the galaxy to warn the other Zodiac signs about the oncoming attack of the 13th symbol. Another book I found was a two-part series called, 'The Program' and 'The Treatment', which explain 2 teens trying to survive an international suicide epidemic. But as the depression begins to set in, they realize they must have to take the Program. Except they know that whoever takes the Program will come back as a blank slate. Meaning they will have no memory.
I hope that I will be able to read these and many more books in the future!
