Emily's Picks

Reading:

1. Books are the ultimate guide to the universe.  They can transport us instantly to another world, and we can choose to be totally consumed..or not.

2. Meeting characters that make me fall in love, to love the world I live in, Too find hope in something beyond myself.

3. The gift of words is given to everyone, but only a few have the power to translate that into something magical, and they share it with us. And when you find that gem of a book, you never want to let it go. That is why I love reading.

Blogging:

4. Blogging, I can express my self without stumbling over my own words. I am not very elegant at expressing them in person.

5. I can meet people in this world of ours by just skipping on over to sights like The Broke and the Bookish, and suddenly meet a kindred spirit, who reads just as much as me, and who maybe has a few books i have not read, or has suggestions that I wouldn't have tried.
