This week is Reasons Why I Love reading.
1) I love it when books make me think of relationships. And this one is about second chances and marine conservation also.
2) I love books that take me to another world, and preferably a futuristic world where there are so many possibilities.
3) Books that make me laugh like this one did.
4) Books that take me back to another time.
5) Books that take me other places and are twisty
6) Books that grab me with the cover
7) Books that remind me of being a kid
8) Books that put a fun new twist on a story
9) Books that introduce me to a beloved author and/ or teach me something
nice ideas!
ReplyDeleteBasically I just love reading for books that entertain. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree with all your reasons, hands-down! Favorites are the ones that are twisty and the ones that make you laugh. They really are the cure for so many problems. :)
ReplyDeleteHow many lovely ways to like books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT earlier that took me around the world.
Books can introduce you to so many new worlds and ways of thinking! Great list.

OOh nice reasons and examples!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Great list! I love that books can take us to a different place and time without us having to go anywhere! (or when we can't, like this past year!)
ReplyDeleteI love your list! Books can take us to so many places. I love ones that literally make me laugh out loud. Books that remind me of being a kid are great too. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love books that grab me with their cover, and then won't let go years after I've read it.

I love books that make me laugh too. I have an odd sense of humor so it's hard to find those kind of books😁
ReplyDeleteMost of us seem to share the same reasons why we love reading. I like that!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one - new twist on the story. I have encountered some fantastic retellings over the years, and I really appreciate the way the author showed how timeless the topic is while showing the story to us through a new lens.
ReplyDeleteYes to all of these! Seeing Choose Your Own Adventure covers as an adult instantly takes me back to my childhood. I adored that series. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I've been grabbed my many a cover, yes yes yes!! Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/top-ten-reasons-to-love-reading/
ReplyDeleteThis was such a clever idea for a topic. Here is my post-https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-ten-tuesday-eight-reasons-i-enjoy.html.
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love choose your own adventure stories! I love how you have chosen a book to represent your reasons. Kat

#2 - yep. Still haven't read any of Becky Chambers' books but maybe someday.
ReplyDelete#3 - I rarely come across books that made me laugh so I'm always looking for them.
#6 - Book covers are wonderful even when they are weird.
#9 - I like to know more authors beloved or not but I wish authors would stop using social media, I really hate seeing my favorite authors doing stupid things.
It's always fun to learn something new even if you forget it a week later.
Have a lovely day.
Love your list! I mainly like to read because I get to travel the world AND through time. Plus I also like knowing things that other people don't, lol
ReplyDeleteI love books that remind me of being a kid, too. What a great list you have created here. My TTT is off-topic this week. Please visit anyway?!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these! Books that take me to other worlds, places or times are indeed the best!
ReplyDelete#6 I like when the cover grabs me, AND the story is good. Win-win!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list!
Hi there Greg! Love your TTT! 4, 5, 7 and 9 will be my favorites.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been a bit absent lately, busy with stuff at home, but we are enjoying it immensely!
Take care!

Books that take me to other places, times and even other worlds is one reason I love reading, too. Great list! :D
ReplyDeleteBooks that make me laugh are my favorite. These are all good reasons to love to read.
ReplyDeleteSome great reasons here, and I agree with all of them!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/06/top-ten-tuesday-323/
I love a book cover that just grabs me.
ReplyDeleteI read for a lot of these reasons too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow the cover for Vitro is stunning! Thanks for sharing, it was a lot of fun to read :)
ReplyDeleteJust a note greg, when you leave a comment (or maybe its just my blog), when I click on your name to get to your blog, it takes me to a broken and empty page. You might want to check that out. HTH
ReplyDeleteOh I love this list! Great choices :) Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Greg! So agree with books that introduce me to a new author... who then becomes a favorite.
ReplyDeleteBooks that make me laugh is one of the best reasons Greg!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, and I love how you included examples for each one.
ReplyDeleteI like toe scape when I read. I have been reading heavier books (on audio which seems more like tv or a podcast so it works for me) but my favorite is to read something light & preferably funny.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
I'd like to try Obsidian and stars
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to read a Burroughs book again -- I read a couple AGES ago, but you amake me want to go back to them!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things is being taken to other worlds also, there's just something special about how books are able to transport us!
ReplyDeleteI miss those Choose Your Own Adventure books...
ReplyDelete"I love books that take me to another world, and preferably a futuristic world where there are so many possibilities."
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I love the most, but my first bookish love will always be dead characters who still get to have adventures LOL.
I love books that can make me laugh too. Those Choose Your Own Adventure books were faves of mine when I was a kid. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteBecky Chambers! ❤❤❤
