Join in the Top Ten Tuesday fun! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
1. I can escape reality for a few hours.
2. After a long day of crunching numbers, it is a great way to relax.
3. I travel the world, one book at a time.
4. I learn about things I've knew little or nothing about, especially when I read a historical fiction novel.
5. I meet interesting people, and sometimes even make some new fictional friends.
6. Sometimes, in periods where I feel alone or just a bit down, spending some time in a fictional world, just helps improving my mood.
7. I've met some swoon-worthy heroes.
8. Through the characters, I've learned lessons and even times where the characters learned something about God, they imparted this lessons to me as a reader as well.
9. I just love that feeling you get after finishing a great book.
10. A lot of the books I've read, drew me closer in my own relationship with God.
Reading improves my mood, too!

Especially of you are down and need few lol moments.
DeleteI really enjoy reading as an escape and a way to boost my mood as well! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteEspecially last year, the escape was well needed.
DeleteI love me a good historical fiction books, that's for sure. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/top-ten-reasons-to-love-reading/
ReplyDeleteYes, learn so much through my historical fiction books - it makes boring facts fun.
DeleteI'm a religious person, but I don't read just Christian/inspirational fiction. It's interesting, though, how much better I feel - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - when I read books that are uplifting and faith-promoting. It definitely makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Definitely - I made a choice a few years ago to rather read books which gives me that uplifting feel.
DeleteReading is such a great way to relax after a long day.

One of my favourite reasons : books are a GREAT way to relax.
ReplyDeleteHere's my list!
Yes! Especially at the beach or under a warm blanket on a cold, rainy day.
DeleteSome great reasons here :)

Thanks!
DeleteI love traveling the world through books! and the escapism- totally agree. I like learning things through books too. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I added a few travel locations due to books. And even now when we can't travel physically...
DeleteLove your list! I love learning through Historical Fiction and do feel that a lot of the books I read also bring me closer to God.
ReplyDeleteYes, love how Christian fiction still speaks to me while giving me an entertaining story.
DeleteThe feeling you get after reading a good book - that's a good reason! Although that feelings are mixed for me. If the book was too good I can actually feel more sad when I finish the book. If it was just a good book then yes I feel great. My TTT: https://readingwithkat.wordpress.com/2021/07/06/top-ten-reasons-why-i-love-to-read/
