An Old Post

Weekly Whatever is a new thing I'm going to try. Basically I post about something going on in my life or bookish things that I love or even about the way Doctor Who rocks my socks. It can be bookish or it can be a rant about the way people chew their food. Anything is game. It's just random collection of whatever. Hence the name. 

This week I'm taking a step down memory lane. I was looking through Katie's blog (Call Me Crazy Ya Reviews) and I noticed a guest post I had written up for her. It was on why I loved books, and what they are to me. I vaguely remember writing it but even as I read it, the one who wrote it, it reminded me why I love books and sometimes you just need that reminder. I thought I'd post it on my blog. Enjoy! 

To me books are:

A time machine

(The Book Thief, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and Night)

A magic show

(Harry Potter, My Fair Godmother , and City of Bones)

A portal to another world

(The Chronicles of Narnia, The Iron King, and Now You See it)

A key to the past

(Revolution, Nobody’s Princess, and A Great and Terrible Beauty)

A window to the soul

(The Mocking Birds, I am the Messenger , and By the time you read this I’ll be Dead )

A vision of what could be

(The Hunger Games, Inside Out, and The Forest of Hands and Teeth)

A non-stop Laugh

(Hex Hall, Demonglass, and Just one Wish,)

A story between a boy and a girl

(The Oracle of Dating, Love Undercover, and At first Sight)

A view through a boy’s eyes

(Infinity, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Giver)

What are books to you? What do books give you? Which is your favorite category? Any suggestions to add?
