The world needs more readers. Not the "I'm forced to read this book for a paper" type of readers but true readers. Readers that can escape into whatever world the author has created. Those are my type of people!

1. You have a list of “To be Read” that just keeps getting longer.

If you’re anything like me you can’t watch two shows at once on Netflix. Which means you definitely can't read two books. So you keep adding books to your pile of to be read and before you know it most of your book shelf is books that you haven't read yet.

2. You can’t go to sleep without finishing the chapter.

It only makes sense to finish the chapter before you go to be but then a chapter turns into three and before you know it it’s 3:00 a.m. and you’re crying over the death of your favorite character.

3. Reading is your escape.

Most people stay in bed and watch netflix when theyre feeling depressed or stressed. For you its reading. Reading is your way of escaping everything that is going on in your life.

4. You feel like you live in the book.

See 3. Once you escape into this world its becomes your world. You literally can picture this world all in your head.You feel so many different emotions when reading.

5. You have a bigger vocabulary.

Reading makes you smarter.

6. You learn a lot about the world just through reading.

People are mean, the world is a terrible place. But reading helps you survive it.

7. It’s not Just a Character.

See 3 & 4, because crying over the end of a series or the death of Augustus Waters is totally a rational thing to do.
