Why Do You Love To Read?

Why do you love to read?

Depending on the day, I might have several different answers. If I'm reading a series, I probably can't wait to find out what's going to happen to my favorite characters. Sometimes I want to read a book that reminds me of something going on in my life...and sometimes I read because I want to escape for a while. (Just being honest.) 

There's one more reason why I'm always disappearing into the pages of a book: 

I read because I want to connect.

After I finish a really good book, I close the back cover and feel a little surprised that Iโ€™m actually sitting in my living room. The world I was just visiting and the characters I just met still feel so real. The next thing I want to do (besides flip the book over and start reading again) is to go find someone and ask, โ€œDid you read this? What did you think aboutโ€ฆ?โ€

The best thing about my first year as an indie author has been connecting with other book lovers. Itโ€™s really true that if you love your job, it will never feel like work โ€“ and I definitely love my job!

On this blog, I want to connect with you over the books Iโ€™m reading and writing. Plus, I hope to introduce you to some of the other book lovers Iโ€™ve met along the way. Most of all, Iโ€™d like to hear back from you!
