Why light novels?

The main reason I started this blog was to promote light novels to as many people as I can. Why? I think they're fun to read. If you can pick one up and enjoy it, I've done my job.

What do I like most about light novels? The characters. Longer novels can elaborate on some grandiose plot and overarching themes. I don't think light novels get that sort of luxury. There's a reason it's light, right?

So what do you get in a light novel? Dialogue. Communication. Characters interacting with one another. The characters make friends, sever ties, grow apart in their relationships from one chapter to the next. Some die, some fall in love. It's life, right? Then the book ends. It's up to the reader to decide if they want to know what happens next~

Yes, this is me procrastinating and not working on that Bungaku Shoujo/Book Girl post. I'll finish it (soon-ish). Also, thinking of giving away some light novels in the future. What kind of contest would you want to do?
