I hope you've got a smile on your face, because I certainly have!
I've been inspired to a create a little series on my blog. I'm going to be doing monthly book reviews! Isn't that exciting?! (well, if you're an avid reader like me, I hope it is)
I've been an avid reader since I learnt to read. I started with Horrible Henry books when I was around 7, and always had books since then. Now, I have two bookcases in my room, because the one I was bought for Christmas, not even a year old yet, is packed full of paperbacks. I've always loved literature. I love words and being able to string them together. Now, I don't think it's much of a surprise I've been writing continuously for the past three years, whether it be writing about my life or a story based on characters that wander round my brain on a 24 hour basis.
I like it. It challenges me, but also fills me with confidence.
For the past three years, I've been told that my talent lies in writing. I like to think that my circumstances (being in a wheelchair, basically) is great material for my writing endeavours. Let's just say that before I started writing on a regular basis, I couldn't muster the courage to outright state that my circumstances didn't bother me. And at the time, being in a wheelchair really did get to me, but now, I believe that through words, I can hopefully inspire people that may or may not be in the same situation as me. I've been through so much in my life and being in a wheelchair has taught me so much. It taught me that mentally, I could gain strength and get over whatever was "blocking" me.
Books have always given me an insight into life. Made me realise things I probably wouldn't have realised for a long time if I hadn't read some of those books. This is why I love books so much. Some say that books are an escape route, I would agree to some extent, but it can also make you reflect on your own life. That's why I love books.
I'm excited to say that sometime in November will be the first official monthly book review! Eeek! I'll be reviewing The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern.
I hope you all have a lovely week!
Love and hugs,
Maisie xox
Maisie-that's so awesome that you'll be doing a monthly book review! I'm excited! I like to read...kinda slow and wish I read more...I'm working on it haha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm so glad you using your gift of writing! Also, I'm even happier that you are comfortable being in your own skin, even if you are in a wheelchair. My brother is paralyzed from the waist down and has been in a wheelchair for about 16 years. I think he's still adjusting. You should check out Team Everest 2003...he was on a team of disabled people that climbed Mt. Everest. I think you might enjoy it! It's very inspiring!
Sorry for rambling- but I'm excited to be your newest follower :) Thanks again for stopping by my blog!
Haha, thank you! I'm so excited to write about books on a regular basis!
ReplyDeleteThat is so inspiring! I'd love to be a part of something like that!
Aw, thank you!
