I missed reading fantasy.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed reading Jane Austen more than I can say. I adored the snide remarks and hidden humor and the endless subtle sarcasm that permeates her language and her characters. I adored the descriptions of situations and the way she mocked them so thoroughly without ever once denouncing them obviously. I love reading books about the real world, with characters that were believable and made sense and in whose shoes I could put myself.
But the rapture, the utter ecstasy of losing oneself in a world so extremely foreign from one’s own – that is something I will never be able to give up. Letting my mind run rampant in forests, encircle itself with magic, leap up on horses and grapple with an enemy – all those things I let myself get immersed in as I delve into the latest installment of whichever fantasy novel I’m reading; those things bring magic into my life.
I really, truly, missed reading fantasy.
So if you “missed” it, does that mean your now reading one? What?? Me, myself, I’m not into that kind of reading. I just never got into it. Do you know with all the reading I do, I have never read even one Harry Potter book?? I feel like a freak!!!!
naww iām glad to hear someone is happily in love : )

which book are you reading(?)
@Joy – Aw, it’s alright, I forgive you for not reading the Harry Potter books :P. Though they actually ARE good, so if you’re feeling adventurous, I suggest you read them.
@Joy and Chloe – the book I’m currently reading is called “Witch” and is the sequel to “Warrior”. Both books are by Marie Brennen and they’re excellent.
