B is for Books.
I am a reader. My mother has always said that I practically taught myself to read and write at the age of 2. Words captured me in a way nothing else really did. The bookshelf in Beauty and the Beast was my favorite part of the movie until I saw the Beasts' library and then I was really glued! Like a cross country athlete running to get that natural high, I read for the adrenaline rush. My very first chapter book ever was the original story of James and the Giant Peach which has lots of beautiful illustrations. I will lose myself in the young adult section of the library at school, a place all to myself. My favorite part of reading is when I find that one book, the one I can't put down, the one I just have to finish before I do anything else. One day I'm going to have a huge library in my house full of classic books and new books and books I've collected over the years. Books are a very good thing.
