To some, it might just be words on a page. But to others, the ones who let their minds be free it is more than paper and ink. It's their own personal escape route, to be who they want or just take a break from reality. So if you ask me what a book is it's not just paper and ink, it's our freedom to be what we want. Whether it's a shadow hunter or a teen learning lessons about the world that teach us. Books set us free and help us cope with the real world.
