My Book Adventures

I discvovered books when I was really young. I had just started to learn English and I was having a lot of trouble. My mother presented me with a gift... a book. All in English even the Title was confusing ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone ). As soon as I started reading it had swept me into a whole new world at full force. THIS IS WHERE MY STORY BEGINS.

Books and Water Don't Mix

 

As many of you have noticed Its taken me a long time to read Where She Went by Gayle Forman, but don't worry I can explain.

 

I have this big habit of taking a book with me wherever i go and to me thats a very good habit except for this day. I rerecently took a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood and had a great time. That morning I had packed my backpack with all the things I felt I needed including my book. When we had arrived I was so excited and wanted to get in every ride. My all time favorites are The Mummy and Jurassic Park. We got on The Mummy first since the line was short and it was the first ride on the list. Now remember my backpack well since it was small the employees told me to place it between my legs.Then we got on Jurassic FRONT ROW ! I was also told to place my backpack between my legs and it was all fun and games until the big drop at the end. Since the beginning of the ride we felt as if the boat was going to fast, it was missing all it's cues but we didn't mind. So when the big drop arrived we were all hit by a HUGE WAVE OF WATER!!

 

 

I didn't realize my book was ruined until everybody was taking out their cell phones to make sure they were still functioning. I honestly wanted to cry but I didnt. My book was officially drenched and there was nothing I could do about it so for a couple of weeks I was on a mission to find another copy but kept reading when it finally dried. 

 

So I can definitely say I learned a good lesson that day. ALWAYS think before backing my book for an outing, because BOOKS AND WATER DON'T MIX!!

 

I'LL SEE YOU AT MY NEXT BOOK ADVENTURE TIL THEN KEEP READING!!!!
