Hey everyone! So by the title you’ll see I am new to the book Community. I am not new to reading but I am new to this amazing community! I don’t remember a time that I wasn’t reading. Some of my earliest memories is of reading and escaping from the mundane aspects of life.

So as I say that I don’t remember when I started or what I started with, but I do remember when I began to read with a ferocious appetite that never seemed to become stated. That book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerers  Stone! It was the Christmas of 1998 my family did a HUGE extended family secret Santa exchange and my dad’s aunt got my older brother that year. I remember his disappointment when he received a book so a few days later he appeared in my doorway and tossed me a book not knowing that it would change my life. This book (and the rest of the series to follow) became my savior from a childhood of problems and issues. It also brought me to one of my best and oldest friends! Since then it has also brought me other wonderful and amazing friends!

I have now lived and died thousands of deaths and yet the moment of starting a new life and a new adventure is still a moment I cherish. I am now excited to bring you all with me on these adventures and share these worlds and my thoughts with you!

Until next time!
