I once went to a sewing camp (don’t laugh) and it was amazing! We sewed hats, and bags and stuff.. but, that was like, 2 years ago, and I haven’t sewed since then. I want to be able to get fabric, and sew my own clothes, and have people be like.. “where did you get that?” and then, they be surprised when I say “I made it myself.”

I’m only 16, and I love reading. I enjoy the simplicity of reading, and the joy it can bring. I have a few tips for you!:
1) Get a library card. That way, you don’t have to buy the books, so it’s one less excuse you have

2) Join a book club. That way, you can hear what others like reading while meeting people out of your social circle.

3) Ask you friends/teachers/family what they like reading. Now, keep in mind, your best friends tastes may be different then your own, but you can still find a wide variety of genres from a few people.

4) Go to the library and read the back’s of a wide variety of books. If one particular catches you, pick up a few books by that other, or in that genre or series.

5) Start small. Start reading the more intellecutal parts of the newspaper or a magazine. It may not seem that important, but just that little bit of reading can do wonder’s.

6) Watch movies. When you see a movie.. let’s say The DaVinci Code.. do you sometimes wonder about parts they didn’t explain.. try reading the book the movie was based on (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, DaVinci Code, Series of Unfortunate Events etc)

7) If you have a subject you love, or want to learn more about.. let’s say (my favorite) The Greek Culture.. pick up some books about it. It’s so interesting to learn about other culture and other places.

I wish you all luck and hope you get back into the books.
