Divine Academy
It was my first time visiting a library, but I was extremely bored, and in the past, reading had cured my boredom.
When I was younger, around the age of fifteen, I was housed with a couple who loved reading. They had a room in their home that was solely dedicated to their books. Three out of the four walls were lined corner-to-corner with built-in bookshelves, and one of the walls was solely for my foster mother. On her shelves was where I found my favorite genre, historical romance. The fourth wall was a reading nook, and I found myself sitting on the nook, my legs tucked underneath me, encaptured by novels written by Johanna Lindsey, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, and Julia Garwood, just to name a few. Mari and Jonathan, my fosters at the time, didn't care what I was reading; they were just happy that I wasn't running off and getting into trouble. Mari would occasionally remind me that these books were a work of fiction and that love never came so easy, but looking at what I have now, I feel like Mari may not have been as happy with Jonathan as they let on.
