I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember.
Honestly, sometimes I think about different periods in my life based on the books I was reading at the time.
Reading is, without a doubt, one of the most marvelous things ever.
I’m always thankful for the authors and publishers who work so hard to bring these books to life.
Many famous authors have spoken about how wonderful reading is, and I’ve gathered some of my favorite quotes from them.
These quotes are about their love for reading and why they believe everyone should be a reader in one form or another.
Personally, I truly believe there’s no such thing as genre superiority.
So if your thing is a genre pepple generally side-eye, don’t ever feel like it’s not serious enough.
Read whatever your heart tells you to read, but by all means, always make sure you’re reading.

The day I can no longer read is going to be a sad one.
