I like science fiction, horror, romance, and dystopian books. I don't tend to stray from these four genres.When I do I read popular realistic fiction books, such as Wonder or Star Girl. I like these genres so much because they are an escape from the real world. That is mainly why I like to read, so I can immerse myself in another reality, live another life.There is a quote I like:
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
―George R.R, Martin; A dance with dragons
I think this is very accurate. Seeing this quote is what really made me realize why I live reading so much. When life is to hard and I just want a break, reading is my escape. Not that I don't read because I love it! If the books good and I want to what happens next I'll read. As I already said that is not the main reason though.Go on, escape!
Why do you read?

I kind of do the same thing with fantasy books. I can escape the real world and transfer into a world where probably anything could happen! I also love the way you set up your blog, and I like it so far! Keep up the good work and have fun!
