Reasons I LOVE Being a Reader and a Blogger

1) Reading is a way for me to escape reality because lets face it--sometimes reality sucks. I can escape to another world, be another person or take a vacation without leaving the comfort of my own couch on any given day.

2) Being an avid reader led me to spending a lot of time in a library as a young person and started working in libraries in high school.

3) Blogging allows me to connect with other readers, including internationally! That is such an amazing experience to be able to connect and chat with readers all over the world. 

4) Reading challenges me to consider viewpoints I may not otherwise do so.

5) On a similar note, I am able to explore topics, places and discover new interests by being introduced to them in books. 

6) Blogging has helped challenge me to read out of my comfort zone by reading all the great reviews, participating in challenges and blog tours.
