Who else read fantasy novels and started expecting far too much from real life? 

I started reading fantasy novels when I was a teenager. I'm thankful for the first time I walked into a bookstore, got captivated by a fantasy cover and decided to take it. The covers had this mysterious look, with hints of supernatural creatures and worlds very different from my own. I think that's what intrigued me most: the possibility of discovering a world where I had no idea what to expect. Those covers drew me in and then I fell in love with the stories. Soon, I was asking my mom for the next book in whatever series had taken over my life. She was encouraging a lovely hobby. And investing a lot of money too. Meanwhile, I was developing very unreal expectations about boys I might meet someday (and will never meet) 

For a while, I was completely obsessed with vampires. If a series had vampires, that was enough to catch my attention. I could spend afternoons reading about mysterious characters with secrets and forbidden romances. Why didn't boys at my school have fangs? I was so sad when it finally sank in that I would never meet a vampire. And I wasn't going to become one either. It felt deeply unfair. Somebody should have mentioned that before I got emotionally involved.

  • Falling in love with someone who doesn't exist is a canon event for a girl. Real girls fell in love with a fictional character at least once in their lives. My dream boyfriend at that moment had wings, a mysterious past and no way of finding out that I existed. Ahh, my ideal man.

    After my vampire phase, I moved on to fallen angels. I need to name names now: Patch, from Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush saga. Does it ring a bell? Well, he was obviously my boyfriend and I was obsessed with those books. Anyways, now that I'm a grown-up, I've accepted that Patch won't be asking me out. But I hope he knows I would have said yes.

  • Fantasy novels always have like seven more books for you to get entertained, so it was easy to get obsessed with them. I loved that feeling of having a whole series ahead of me. Before I got hooked on TV shows, books gave me characters I wanted to keep spending time with. I'd finish one and want the next. Besides, I needed to know what happened to the love of my life.

  • I'm fond of that version of myself. I could get comfortable with a novel and disappear into it for hours. Even though the characters were fictional, the emotions they provoked were real. I felt excitement, affection, sadness, thrill. Isn't it exciting that a story can make me care that much?

  • As for dragons, I can understand getting attached to them because they are like supernatural pets. I didn't get so attached to dragons, but if you did, I won't judge. You can try putting wings on your dog.
