Public Libraries
I have found the public library is a remarkable institution. It is run by the biggest book lovers in the world. It doesn't matter if you have read all your life or picked it up when your kids started school. They give you advise on the books they think you would like and they inspire you to visit these worlds you never knew existed.
When I was little, I always went to the library. They had a story hour that I loved. The older I got, I seemed to stray from the stories that made me feel like a hero or take me to a country I would never get a chance to visit.
When my kids were older and they didn't need me as much, I stopped by the library. I wasn't for sure what I was looking for but I wanted something that made me feel like I had a purpose again. After talking to one of the ladies, I told her I like paranormal. She introduced me to a few series that I would read over and over again.
One, Jennifer Rardin's Jazz Parks novels propelled me into a world of action, mystery and love. I wanted more when I read hers and it saddened me dearly when she passed away.
Two, Rachel Vincent's Shifters Series. The moment I picked up book 1, I didn't stop reading until I was finished with the series. For four days I read about a woman who wanted to be someone else but she accepted her roll as a shapeshifting panther and took control of her Pride. I love these books!
Three, J.R. Ward's, Black Dagger Brotherhood. The only thing I can say about them is WOW. This woman knows how to tell a story.
Four, Sherrylin Kenyon's, Dark-Hunter novels. What drew me to them was the idea vampires came from the gods and you had good and evil ones. She gave a new spin to an old classic that I still read.
I could go on and on about the stories I read. The vampires, fledglings, werewolves, demons, faeries, succubus and angels. I can't stop picking up a book and reading it. It takes me to a place of magic and joy, I'd forgotten about. So I have to think the ladies at the library for opening my eyes to the beautiful worlds they hold inside. If it wasn't for them, I couldn't go to these new worlds and experience the lives living in each of them.
So to them, I say thank you.
