To escape, to engage, to listen, to learn, to reflect, to refresh, to soothe, to surprise, to investigate, to invigorate, to delve, to dream.

it takes me to another world. its like im transferred there and i become apart of the book

I escaped my troubled childhood using books, I am a single mother and my boys know without a doubt we will read books together everyday.

It’s in my DNA. If I didn’t read, I’d surely perish. I love to live for words and share my love of words with all the little people I know.

That city commute…what a drag;
BUT…
With a book in my handbag…
Time doesn’t matter, I’m so engrossed
In doing what I love most!

I’ve loved reading since I was a child. I usually finish the day with some reading in bed before dropping off. Sweet dreams

I love to read because it relaxes my mind and enables me to escape into another world for hours and avoid my own life pressures

reading takes me away from my reality for a while.

I love reading to my beautiful baby daughter, helping her learn and growing our bond at the same time. It’s a magical time.

Reading for me and my son is a chance to put ourselves in a characters position and be someone new in every book!

I love to relax with a book, forget about my troubles and become totally immersed in the story and the characters

It’s such a great way to escape and learn about other worlds/countries/people. It’s also great bonding with people, sharing books and recommendations!

The Bronze Horseman looks like a real escapist novel that Mum’s need to have good doses of.

Love reading to my sons, love reading on my own, to relax and let my imagination run wild.

allows me to escape out of my stressful day whilst relaxing me

Books take you anywhere and everywhere! Without leaving home I and go on a pirate ship or into space.

Its an escapism and a good one at that, I can read a book and be in London shopping or relaxing in the Hamptons, wherever the story takes me!

How else can I learn to make finger puppets out of my cat’s hair??

It is like embarking into an unknown adventure
