Thursday Thirteen

by JM

This is a book blog, so it isn’t exactly a giant leap that we are here because we love books. And if we love books, it’s also no great leap that we all love reading.

Today I thought I’d share some reasons I love reading. Please let me know your reasons you love reading as well.

Happy Thursday Thirteen!

Thirteen Reasons I Love Reading

1. Escaping into new worlds
2. I have been doing it since I was a child… Call it an addiction
3. Falling in love with characters
4. There’s nothing like curling up on the couch or enjoying a hot bath with a book
5. Viewing the world from a different perspective
6. I love words and reading the different ways people use them
7. I like learning new things
8. Experiencing, even in third person, things and sights I can never experience first hand
9. Comfort and relaxation
10. I like supporting fellow writers
11. Especially in science fiction, I like to see what views authors have for the future
12. Learning about living and dead people I would have never learned about otherwise
13. I love seeing the races and worlds people create purely from their imaginations and the world we know

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

    All good reasons.

    I think one reason I read so much is that I don’t know any other way to be. Ya know?
