Growing up I was always a book worm š š
For me, trips to the local library were a weekly (if not twice weekly) adventure that I always looked forward toā¦ I would disappear into the stacks and read the first 10 pages of everything that was interesting to me, and come back out with a huge pile in my armsā¦ smiling and showing my Mom that I struck gold šš¼
The smell of paper and the feel of the well worn pagesā¦ the respectful and almost spiritual stillness that hung in the airā¦ weighing you down with the knowledge that, in this place, we are all in our own worldā¦ and each of us gets to choose which world to enterā¦ that heavy silence said, ārespect it, donāt break the spellā¦ take what you want, and leave in peaceā¦ā
I always loved the invisible, yet real connection between me and the person who dog-eared a page that they loved as a silent hint that something vital was about to be learned, or that a turn of phrase was going to hit you right in the chest as real as the thump of a fistā¦
My mother is a voracious reader and consumes a prodigious amount of material weeklyā¦ we were always peas in a pod š« hanging out and reading our books together every dayā¦
I grew up enjoying reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy booksā¦ I remember I was 13 when the first book of GOT came out, and I read the entire book in a couple of days, ignoring the teacher in school and getting lost in that world.
There is something absolutely fantastic about being transported into the imagination of another human being. To a place where you can see, smell, hear, touch, and taste the experiences of well-developed characters and ride alongside them while they suffer and triumph through the heroās journey.
Those authors gave me courage to face bullies, to leave my home town, to travel the world solo (80 countries and counting), to open my own company, to learn to wrestle and how to fight and shoot, learn to fly a planeā¦ along with so many other thingsā¦
I gained so many lessons from those charactersā¦ thank God for the written word, and for the brilliant and tenacious authors who slave over their craft, carefully twisting and turning phrases until they resonate and penetrate the heart and soul šš¼
I read all the big Sci-fi and Fantasy book years agoā¦ and for years was trying to find new authors to readā¦ I donāt like to support Amazon, being a minimalist who buys locally produced and made goodsā¦ but their Kindle Unlimited platform has attracted a huge amount of talented new authors, giving them a place to access the worldā¦ For me, itās been one of the best programs Iāve ever paid for at $12 monthlyā¦ being able to carry around a Kindle with over 1000 books on it is a luxury that I am so grateful forā¦
For those of you who love #sci-fi and #fantasy books, and are looking for new authors that might not be on the big lists of top all-time popular series in the 2 genresā¦ below is a curated list of authors you can try out who produced books I enjoyed and who you can access through the Kindle Unlimited membership.
It is my hope that this list helps some of you who love Sci-Fi and Fantasy to discover new worlds, ride alongside new heroās and heroines,be inspired to be braveā¦ to have courageā¦ to face your fearsā¦ to do what is right, despite the consequencesā¦ and to live your life as the hero of your own story š«”āš¼
