Top 5 Tuesday!
Trying to figure out why I read is almost like asking me why I love my husband. I list out the obvious reasons, but I think my love of reading just is. It’s not really definable.
I still gave it my best shot! I have a feeling it’s similar to what other people are saying!
Top 5 Tuesday was started by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm!
To Live in Other Worlds
I love how reading gives you the ability to live in other worlds. Without books I would never have gone to school at Hogwarts, knew that there were Four London’s, or traveled through Shadows. Without books, my only home is on Earth. With Books, I’ve lived everywhere.
My Best Friends
Some of my favorite people are those who live inside the pages of a book. I love my friends in the real world too, but I feel like I’ve learned just as much from my fictional friends too.
Escape from Reality
We all need it. Be it music, or television, or books; we all need to step away from our struggles and read things that make us feel good. Reading has always been my relief, in particular, I love romance relief.
To Live Other Lives
When I read a book, I become someone different. I have new talents and experiences. It creates an ability to easily have empathy for those who are different from me.
Knowledge
Yeah, I know I mostly read fiction, but even in a fictional story you can find knowledge. It’s one of my favorite aspects of reading. If you have a good author, a lot of research goes into a story. If there’s research, there’s something to learn.

Love your Top 5 list. It still amazes me when I find an author who writes so well that I feel like studied at Hogwarts or traveled back in time with Claire Frazier.

Or traveled to Hogwarts and studied with Claire Fraser! I feel like I learned so much about Scottish history and herbs for medicinal purposes. Diana Gabaldon did so much research for that series.

Absolutely. My husband thinks I’m crazy that I’m dying to go to Scotland based solely on the fact that I fell in love with it through Outlander.

Not crazy! I know a lot of men who would love to visit the Millennium Falcon, based solely on Star Wars!

I love this so much! And this line is so relatable: I list out the obvious reasons, but I think my love of reading just is. It’s not really definable.
