Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Reasons That I Love Being a Reader/Book Blogger

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!

This week’s Top Ten is “Top Ten Reasons That I Love Being a Reader/Book Blogger”.

The fact that twenty six letters can form words and sentences that take me to different worlds is fascinating and a blessing.

Being a reader isn’t necessarily about reading books, but that’s what people usually assume.  I, do love books, so it works out for me.  And I love books a lot.

I’m a pretty introverted person, but there are times when friends have abandoned me and I’m lonely.  In those situations, I could always find companion ship in a book.

I have learned so many things from reading.  Not just vocabulary, but also things about places that I’ve never been, about people that I’ve never met.  I’ve also learned different social skills and honestly, how to be a better writer myself.

I would say that the most meaningful stories are the ones where you can connect to the characters.  When you know how they are feeling, because you’ve felt it too.  Suddenly these made up people are just as real and valid as you are, and that is extraordinary.

And my family gets sick of it!  So now I talk about books on my blog, and to my family! 🙂

Discovering new books, reading well written content, and having discussions is just the beginning to what the blogsphere brings.

3. Creating Content is Satisfying

  Personally, I put a lot of effort into all of my posts, not just the reviews.  Creating graphics and additional posts is handwork, but totally worth it.

There definitely is a thrill to getting a book before it is released.  I would almost describe it as being part of an “in” crowd, and you kind of are.

5. Readership/Comments

Knowing that someone is reading and enjoying what you spent time on is really nice.  I write because I want to, but to think that someone likes reading my ramblings is a run feeling.
