Why do I read?

Why do I read?

Surprisingly, I’m asked this a lot and it’s not that exciting at all.

But, I’ll tell you anyways.

Reading is an escape for me. It allows me to become the characters in the books I read and I can visualize everything that is happening. And I’m a hopeless romantic, but I also like the conflict some books bring.

Think about it? These characters live lives that some of us may never get to experience. So being able to live through the characters is one of my favorite things.
