Top Ten Tuesday: Why I Love Reading
This should be a pretty easy list to create! I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember.
- Escape
Books allow youto escape your everyday world and explore new places. - Balance
I can actually tell when I’m not reading enough! I get super cranky and impatient. Even if I can read for 10-15 minutes a day, I feel more balanced overall. - Relax
My favorite way to unwind is to read, especially at night as part of my bedtime routine. Even if it’s just a page or two, readng usually helps me fall asleep. - Learn
You don’t necessarily need to read nonfiction titles to learn form books! Fiction titles have been shown to teach kids empathy. And I always learn something when I read. - Connect
The book community is so fun to be a part of! I’ve met people from all over the world by reading books – characters, creators, and other readers! - Beauty
Books are gorgeous ways to decorate your home. I have books in almost every room of my house and I love how pretty they are to look at! - Comfort
When you feel like you don’t have any control, re-reading books can provide a level of comfort you are having trouble finding. It’s like visiting with old friends. - Travel
I might not ever be able to travel everywhere I want to, but books allow me a sneak peek into locations around the world. - Availablility
I love being able to read almost anywhere! Whether you’re read a traditional book, use an ereader, or listen to audiobooks, reading can be done everywhere! - Enjoyment
I just love to read! I could never understand when someone would say to me, “I don’t have time to read!” I’ve learned that I have to make time, because as I mentioned, reading helps to keep me balanced!

Reading is so relaxing, that it definitely helps with sleep. Well except if I’m reading a really intense thriller. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/top-ten-reasons-to-love-reading/

Right? Sometimes it’s hard to put a book down!

Oh, I love #2! It’s extremely rare for a day to go by without me reading for at least a half hour. When I don’t get that chance, I definitely feel out of balance. Glad I’m not the only one š
Happy TTT!

I agree with the balance bit. When I started a new job a few years ago my reading cut back drastically because I had an hour commute (each way). Then I discovered audiobooks and that helped a lot.
