“I just love the escapism that books give me. I can go to any world I like, and I can just put myself in a different person’s mind. One of my favorite series, The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, is an amazing sci-fi series. I also enjoy The Priory of the Orange Tree, which is fantasy, but there are just so many books to choose from. I read every day, whenever I have a few minutes to spare, like in class. It’s not as big a part of my life as I’d like it to be and definitely not as much as it was when I was younger, because I’m just too busy. In the future and over the summer, I’m going to try to make it a bigger part of my life, but right now, I’m kind of between books,” Gould said.
