Hobby

This year my friends and I have made a book club. The club is still new, only about a few weeks old, and right now we call it just our book club. The name is still in the brain waiting for a really good name to come along. The club is made up of only three people so far; me and two friends, Ana and Carol. When we get a name for our club we’ll make club cards so we can identify each other.

In our club we pass along books that we liked and think others will like. I have gotten my friends hooked on some series that I liked, including; “Vampire Kisses”, “Blue is f o r Nightmares” series, and “The Looking Glass Wars”. The books that we read are all young adult and revolve around things such as magic and mythical creatures. The next series that I’m going to introduce to them is the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyer, which was what got me into my other series mentioned above.

As the club progresses, the other members will also be passing along books that they have liked, not just me. One of the members has the second book of the “Blue is for Nightmares” series, which is “White is for Magic.” Soon, the club will be like a friendly library that doesn’t charge for overdue books. When the club becomes bigger, we will need a new meeting place, since not everyone will have the same first period as the three of us. Or, when we don’t have the same periods anymore, to be able to switch and trade books around like we used to. But we’ll worry about that when the club grows or if we let the club grow at all.

I learn about these books as we go to stores to get them. The store I go to most is Barnes and Noble. When I have free time I’ll go to their Website and look for new books that look good to me, and add them to my wish list. Like now there’s “Vampire Kisses” #4 and “Silver is for Secrets” that are currently on my list. I always find books that look good and I’m always looking for a new series that I can “sink my teeth into.”

The newest series that I’ve found is the “Sweep” series. That is basically about Wicca and Magick. The books that I like seem to always center on the supernatural. Which is my favorite kind of books, for who would like to be in the real world for ever? When I read books I find a way to go into them and live the story line. That is why I love to read, the books just take you up in their stories, so you can live them too. Books are my greatest hobby because they are a way that stories can be carried throughout time and space. This means books have no boundaries to which they must live, as long as they are kept in good condition.
