What got me into reading was finding the right author. I always hated reading but once I gave it an actual try and found an author I liked, I couldn’t stop reading.
I don’t know, I’ve just been reading my whole life. My mom used to read to me as a kid but I wanted to do it on my own so I learnt how and then began reading more.
I’ve always loved stories, no matter if they are told through words, screens, or paper. I think the best about reading, is that you experience situations in a perspective you wouldn’t see otherwise. The reason I like reading more than series, is that it leaves the characters and the world up to your imagination. Even if the description is exact, you will have your very own version that no one else sees. Reading and writing are the only things that let you be so creative and in contact with your fantasy
My stories kind of funny 😂. Everyone knows the 'After' movies. I best friend recommended the movies and before I watch any movie I Google it and see everything about the plot, cast, release date and everything. So after Googling it I found out that the movie is based on a book. So I thought I’ll watch the movie after reading the book. And there was 4 books so I read all of them. And ever since I’ve loved reading and write now I’m reading another book that has a movie coming out 😂
Reading is something that I’ve always loved. It relieves stress and is really good for my mental health. I love getting lost in a story, relating to the characters, and seeing different perspectives. There was a time period where I stopped reading because I couldn’t find books where I felt myself being represented. It wasn’t until the Hate U Give that I saw myself in Starr Carter. It was beautiful to read a book on the black experience and it really put things into perspective.
I loved it since I was very young and my parents encouraged it and bought me more and more books until I had a whole shelf!
Short stories. Loved reading them and finished collections of short stories in a matter of days! I lived them when I was younger but I lost the habit of reading, especially during covid. I picked it back up though with harry Potter! Needless to say, I am a Potter head now. Prisoner of azkaban was my first book because I wasn’t aware of the order of the books so I just picked the one with the best cover! Side note, the twist at the end was amazing!
Reading is a kind of meditation for me.I love sitting alone with a coffee and reading a book.some of the books really reflects us
Reading specifically for entertainment. Growing up, I loved to read, but as I got older it felt more and more like I was slogging through books. I realized it was because when I was younger, I read what I loved, fantastical worlds, comedies and science fiction. As I got older I spent more time reading what I felt I needed to, educational tomes and dense nonfiction. No wonder it got boring. I’ve been taking more time to read fun stories of science fiction and adventure, and it has made it much easier to engross myself in stories. In turn, enjoying reading has made me appreciate the dense nonfiction much more. Overall it has led me to read much more of both fiction and nonfiction. A quote stuck out to me when I was shown this method, "Read what you love, and you will eventually love to read."
I love to read you can learn and grow from transporting yourself off into the authors world. At school I was made to take English literature hated it no sooner had I left school the book I was forced to read, I read it again at my own pace loved it Pride and Prejudice which is really strange because I’m currently reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall 😊
