Ello Everybody!
Firstly, how do we like the change in colour scheme? with the southern hemisphere well and truly into Autumn I decided things were getting a bit stale on this blog so time to spice it up with some Autumnal colours cuz Autumn
I mean getting all cozy with a book and a spiced latte? heck yea
Speaking of books. (As if I don’t talk enough about books already)
I’ve always wondered how one gets someone into books. You know those people who just can’t sit still for 30 seconds with their nose in a book? how do you get them to even remotely realize how amazing books are?
One of my best friends recently just finished reading what is quiet possibly her first series ever. Now. I’d like to believe that I played a certain role in that. I mean I was the one who recommended the series to her. Maybe it’s because me and her are like Siamese twins and seeing me read all the time motivated her. Or maybe it was just such an amazing series?
Another one of my other friends recently came up to me and said:
“Your compulsive reading has gotten me reading too..”
So tell me, is it the fact that recommending a good book (a nudge in the right direction) gets people into reading?
Or is it that seeing someone read all the time just triggers something in us, a curiosity as to what could be more compelling than the real world that has people pick up a book?
Do you think reading is contagious?
