The Novel Turtle

Through traveling, exploring both the world around me and my own inner world, and hearing the stories of others, I am constantly inspired. Reading is a way to do all of the above, which is why I generally have at least 2 or 3 books going at any given time. All of the books I read, non-fiction and fiction alike, seem to come with a message at the perfect time. 

My favorite books tend to be biographies, light-hearted romance novels, young adult books, fantasy, and science fiction. Really the only genres of books that I don't like are horror and extreme psychological thrillers...because these authors are VERY good at giving my overactive imagination too much to work with. 

No matter what though, I'm always appreciative that the author chose to share their creation with all of us. Each writer has different life experiences, styles, and ways of interpreting the world. Because of this, I get to see the world from all different perspectives. It's through their stories that I've learned to better navigate through my own personal story.
