Welcome to Week 8 of the MFRW 52-week challenge. The topic is "Reading outside your comfort zone, what is it and why?"
I read for pleasure, to escape the realities of daily life, not to relive the worst aspects of it. As a result I don't read either fiction or non-fiction that deals with addiction, mental illness, dementia, cancer, loss, or people on their journey through their bucket list. It doesn't matter if it is a touching memoir or a gritty 'how I survived xxx,' I'm not interested in reading it. It also doesn't matter if the book is a best seller or recommended by some celebrity.
I like to fly with dragons and hang out with wizards. When I read for pleasure, it's to escape into a fantasy.
~till next time, Helen
