- David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
Actually, I was born on a Saturday at who-knows-what time, but I couldn't resist quoting one of the most famous opening lines in classic literature. Don't worry. Like Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye, I won't be going into all that crap.
What I'm more interested in are the lives that I haven't lived. At least, not in reality.
As I'm sure you've guessed, I like to read. A lot. Like the planet monster thing in the Doctor Who episode called The Rings of Akhaten, I devour every story I can get my hands on and I'm still not satisfied. (Did I mention that I'm a nerd?)
When I'm not binge-watching shows on Netflix (like the extremely awesome Daredevil show. You must go watch it! Seriously, why are you still reading? Watch it and be amazed!), I'm reading about far-off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, or a prince in disguise.
My own life dulls in comparison. But you clicked on this page for a reason, so I guess I'd best oblige you. Here's the basics:
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit your butt down
I'll tell you how I became the biggest bookworm in my hometown.
Somewhere in Florida, born and raised
In the library's where I spent most of my days.
Buried deep, underneath piles of books
And all my classmates givin' me weird kind o' looks
When a college degree and a graduation later
I said peace out to all the wannabe haters
Now I'm sittin' in a cubicle makin' some dough
And then blowing it all at my local book sto'.
By day a copywriter and by night a book nerd
Reading mysteries, fantasies, and the Holy Word
If anything you could say my tastes are diverse
Don't go anywhere without a hidden book in my purse.
One day my friend said, "You should start a book blog"
And I yelled back to her, "Readin' Holmes, tell me later!"
After continuous nagging
Now I'm finally here
To recommend books to those far and near.
This was inspiring! Can't wait to read more :)
