Why love reading?

Why does everyone seem to love reading? Why do you like to read so much? How can you not find reading to be boring?

These are just some of the questions that I hear when people find out that I love reading. To me, Reading has always been there thru everything in my life. From being bullied in school, fake friends, leaving school, having kids,getting married, all the way up to this very moment.....books have just been the one constant in my life that can always be counted on to be there. My bookshelf was given to me by a very special person in my life who is no longer with me. So I feel like my books being on that particular shelf holds that much more specialness.
Reading can also take you places without you even actually going anywhere. I am currently reading a book that is currently set in Japan. Books can take you places and be the very best friends that you can have. All while being just there. My books have survived at least four home moves and some of the books have been with me since I was a little girl. Some of them are books that I can remember my mom reading to me.
Another thing about books is that everyone has a different story about how they fell in love with reading. Some have always loved it as I have and some learned to love it later on. It's hard for me to talk about books unless I'm blogging about it because most of the people in my family do not like to read or if they read then the genres do not match up.  Its partly why I started this blog 🙂

But let me know what books you like and feel free to tell me what got you into reading and what your fave genres are...I would love to hear from you! ❤

Audiobooks

I have nothing against people that want to listen to audiobooks. I have just now gotten fond of them myself. Before,though, I always thought it was cheating in a way because someone else is basically reading the book to you. I now have an app on my galaxy s9 called castbox which is a free app for both podcasts and audiobooks. I also just now started listening to podcasts as well. Both are helpful when you are very busy or are a mother of children. I am a mother and sometimes reading doesn't happen for me. So I found that audiobooks are helpful in that respect. So far, I only download free books because I am broke as hell right now. But maybe that will change someday....hopefully soon.
If you do like audiobooks and have some on your device,whatever that may be, let me know in the comments what they are and what you think of them.
