My first crush would have to be books. From the moment I learned the alphabet, I found myself reading. The library was my best friend and worst enemy. My best friend because I took many books out at a time, and my worst enemy because they were often overdue.
I loved the feel of books in my hands. My eyes ate up the words on the page. Nothing could ever compare to the written word. With books I could go anywhere in the world and live through main characters who became my best friends.
My love of reading never ended. Today, my shelves are filled with many best friends. I also found myself creating adventures of my own which eventually got written down and added to my bookshelves as I published a new book.
My first crush: books. Always and forever.
