I love nothing better than a good book. To snuggle up and get lost within its pages is one of the greatest pleasures. It doesn't matter what the weather is like, it could be raining, snowing or a heatwave but it is of no importance. Once a comfortable spot has been found then I swiftly leave this world and I'm transported into a different one. I could be a detective, a lawyer, a child crime genius, a vampire, an alien or a privileged lady from times gone by.
A book holds endless possibilities within its cover, each chapter has the ability to pull you deeper and deeper into the story and who knows where that could lead. Authors have an amazing gift of making a unique jumble of words into a fresh and exciting story. I also believe they are very brave. Any writer can put pen to paper, write a story and place their inner most thoughts on the page. I have done the same myself on occasion. However it takes someone very brave to even attempt to publish that story. Having spent many hours writing in order to send the fruits of your labour off to be reviewed and criticised must be hard. Especially when considering how many authors go on to be published compared to those who are told their work simply isn't good enough. I doubt I myself could cope with the rejection knowing how much love and time would go into writing any given story.
Therefore I thank all the wonderful authors for their bravery. An act which ensures I can continue to snuggle in a comfy spot similar to the one above and enjoy journeying into worlds of the authors making. I couldn't imagine my life without a book and so in turn couldn't imagine a world without authors.
