Are you familiar with the
saying “you are what you eat?” Well, in the writing world it's been said “you
write what you read.” *Raises hand* I
confess...that's totally me. Not in the negative way that we've seen plastered
all over the news feeds recently *cough - plagiarism* but in the way of being so consumed by a specific genre that I
couldn't have possibly written any other type
of book, even if I tried. Does this sound narrow-minded and limit my reading
choices? Maybe. But I know myself well enough as a person to know what I like
and to stick to it with no apologies.
The reason for my
particular fondness of this genre is simple: I've always had a VERY strong
connection to anything paranormal or otherworldly. (Some would even say this connection is akin to a sixth sense or
psychic gift.) Since I was a little girl my gift has always helped me to live
my life with an open mind and heart, and eyes that can see the magic that
permeates the world when I take the time to look hard enough. It's that
awareness which led me to read and immensely
enjoy books which transported me to worlds where magic was an everyday
occurrence and not something metaphysical,
but something that coalesces into a very physical presence in the characters’ everyday
lives.
Below you'll find my top
ten favorite magical books, which by
the way was extremely difficult to choose since I have hundreds of favorites. But
I had my own stories to tell and these books evoked enough passion within me that
I was able to turn the flurry of thoughts in my head into words on a page that
I hope will transport you as well.
