I love to read. When you first meet me this is one thing you were learn about me right away. I’ve read just about every genre out there. My favorite genres are mysteries, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, and of course the classics. Books take me on adventures I would otherwise never have. As Bilbo Baggins announces in The Hobbit; “I’m going on an adventure “!
This is the wonder of books, but without the authors creating these worlds and sharing them with us books wouldn’t exist. Writers delve into the imagination of their minds: discovering the words which bring the characters, their cohorts, the lands or planets on which they live , and the obstacles which must be overcome to life. I’ve often wondered who the first storyteller was. That individual began a path to discovery which we covet and devour once we find it’s joy.
Today I’m at a book signing with one of my favorite authors, Timothy Zahn. Timothy writes his own worlds and is one of the main authors for Star Wars. He’s great. I love his work and he is a wonderful person who loves to talk and share ideas with his fans. The Books At Park Place is filled today with people who love Star Wars and Timothy. The 501st is represented as well and to see the smile s on all these individuals is beautiful for they are joined together in their love of reading, Timothy, and Star Wars. This is what it’s all about, sharing together the adventure they have had in reading .
I guess you can say “I’m having an adventure “ for I am surrounded by books, an author, all sorts of personalities, and the obstacles we’ve overcome to get to this wondrous bookstore in St Petersburg, Fl!
Enjoy, and go have an adventure! It’s easy to do!
