“There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you’ve read only once can’t.”
― Gail Carson Levine, Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly
Gail Carson Levine’s got it spot on with this one! It’s like she’s giving us permission to indulge in our favorite books like a warm hug – over and over again.
You see, there’s magic in re-reading. Each time you crack open that beloved book, it’s like revisiting an old friend. The words, the characters, the whole world – they become a part of you, weaving themselves into the fabric of your being.
And you know what? That’s a beautiful thing. It’s like building a cozy little nest of comfort and joy in your heart, made up of the stories that have touched you the most deeply.
So, next time you feel like diving back into that well-worn favorite, go for it! Embrace the familiar words like old friends, and let them wrap you up in their warmth once more. After all, there’s no such thing as too much love for a good book!
How about you? What do you think? Do you agree with this quote? I’m looking forward to knowing your thoughts.
