ESCAPE.....I can avoid the mundane, frustrations of everyday life. I can be a different person. Live in a different state. Travel. Experience a different career. Fall in love all over again.
FRIEND....I have a problem getting attached to characters. Which is why I love series. I have a terrible time letting go of characters I like. I wanna know what happens next and next and next. I'd like to call them up and find out what's happening now. Does that mean I blur the line of reality and fiction when I escape? Probably.....
COMFORT....like a warm blankie. Reading a story I love can relax me like nothing else. I feel like I can't go to sleep at night unless I read a few pages. Even when I am so tired I can't make it more than a couple of sentences. If I am going somewhere I have to take a book with me. Even if I know I won't have time to read it. It's definitely like a security blanket.
WINDOW ON THE WORLD....I learn so much. New vocabulary, geography, careers, hobbies,
CONNECTION TO MY KIDS.....I love that they both adore books. It's such a prize at the end of the day to cuddle and read to/with them. Now Luke is starting to read unfamiliar books. It's fascinating and exciting to watch.
HOBBY....there's nothing I enjoy more when I have down time. Who am I kidding? I MAKE time to read.....if I waited till I had time I'd never do it. I pretty much avoid things I don't want to do so I can read.
ROLLER COASTER.....I get so involved I feel the ups and downs of the story. A really good book can move me to tears....or laughter.
So that's how I feel about reading....The other info about me.....Blessed with wonderful husband, amazing kids. I work as speech therapist but would rather just be a mom and working when I want to. Hobbies - Reading (how'd you guess), Nascar, Tiger Baseball.
