Despite every one's usual notion of spending the term break going out with friends, clubbing and drinking, and whatnots, I've been spending the past 2 days happily reading books.

I know, it isn't the norm anymore to read books and I honestly feel quite sad about it.

I'm not asking people to read the classics like Wuthering Heights, even I don't even read books like that.

But what I do love is, reading. 

Reading fictional love stories, reading mysteries and occasionally, trillers.

The sillier and more romantic and frivolous, the better.

There's nothing better than spending the whole day closeted at home, or just about anywhere, with a good book for company. And that's what I did for the whole of yesterday.

My friend Esther has a paper today, so I opted to spend the day in the library with her where she gets to study while I get to read books. I'm so glad for it because I've honestly neglected my one true hobby because of my hectic school semester.

I cannot remember when was the last time I had the time to read during the day instead of late at night, right before I go to sleep because that's the only free time I ever had.

I woke up super early today, scumbag body didn't allow me to sleep in past 9am and the first thing I did was to wash up and then grab breakfast while reading yet another book.

The feeling of being transported away to a make-believe land where the story of the protagonist and all the trials he/she goes through is suddenly yours..... Or feels like yours anyway because you can relate to him/her......

It's magical.

I can never ever give up reading, not since my mum first brought me to the library when I was a kid.

I must have borrowed close to a thousand books already and I just can't stop reading.

Every time I go to the library, I'll always come out with as many books as I can borrow using my card.

And often, however many books whoever I'm with can spare me with their card.

YES, I'm horrible like that because I end up neglecting whoever I'm with (usually my boyfriend) because all I want to do is read.

I bring my books with me EVERYWHERE.

To work, to school, to dinner, even out on dates with my boyfriend.

My ex used to say I'm crazy because of the rate I read and how often I read. But I honestly can't help it. It's the one addiction I can never and will never kick. 

And now, as I'm done boring all of you (HEHE) I'm going back to my (STORY) books ^^

All the best to all the people who still have final papers to sit for, may God bless you.

Always know that the battle isn't yours to fight, it's God's. So let go, and let God :)
