I believe in magic.
I really do.
Not fairies or witches or superheroes (though occasionally, I sort of hope), but the kind of magic that can only be found in the human mind.
I absolutely believe in magic. Because I've read hundreds of books in my life. Some were good. Some were bad. Some were so captivating and inspiring, I'll probably never get over them.
Books can fix you. They will get you through the good times and the bad. They can be your best friends and your worst enemy. A great book will take hold of our minds and cling to it long after we've finished.
Books transform you. In an instant you can be anyone you want to be, living any life you like. They let you live in beautiful realms, fight monsters, or just fall in love. Books can do anything.
Books will change you. They'll make you happy, they'll make you sad, they'll make you so unbelievably angry. Books will absolutely hurt you. But as a reader, you're a masochist, so you'll kind of like it.
And despite popular belief, books are absolutely for everyone. Old, young, smart, and stupid. If you haven't given books a try, you haven't really be living your life to the fullest.
C.S. Lewis once said, "You can make anything by writing." That's because writers are real life wizards. They let us do impossible, wonderful, horrible, beautiful things.
Books are everything. They are the best thing that will ever happen to you. You just have to give them a chance.
I believe in magic. And that magic is in books.
