when I read

I love twists. I like when I'm reading a fictional action novel and there's a romance amidst the blood and horror and endless list of supernatural creatures that amaze me. A FEW books I've been able to reread over and over again. stargirl by jerry spinelli, demon in my view by amelia atwater-rhodes, the alchemist by paulo coelho, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the things they carried by tim o'brien, Kushiel's legacy, American Gods and Good Omens by Neil Gaiman, Hold Still by Nina LaCour, Confessions of a Teenage Vampire by Terry M. West and Steve Ellis . I like when I read a book and can tell that the author did research to back up his fictional claims. I love reading something that moves me by the way it is written as well as by what it is saying as I read it. I love pulling out quotes that move me while I read a novel, be the quote funny or serious. I love reading about characters that seem real, not in a physical sense but in personality. I like reading and believing that the conversations or how the conversations are carried out could actually happen and that a person or creature would actually act like that. I was just talking to a friend of mine about films I enjoy the most being the ones where the characters are most believable. I love reading a book and dreaming about it later, wishing my life could just be placed into the center of the story so that I can get a better view of what's going on and be a part of the plot. So ... I'm going to stop rambling and leave it at that. If I remember something more I'm sure I'll blog again ;)
