That feeling when you’re reading a book and maybe it’s a love scene, or maybe it’s a character learning something about him or herself, or maybe it’s something that you’ve always thought but never knew anyone else thought or felt that way too, and your whole body grows warm and tingly and there are tears in your eyes… that. That’s why I read. To feel. To connect. To understand. To have my whole body warmed while I forget to breathe.

from your friendly neighborhood librarian:
all books are good books. you are not a “lesser reader” if you only read manga or comic books or a “better reader” for reading academic heavy texts.
reading is reading no matter what it is, be it a graphic novel, a romance, a classic, an audiobook, a picture book, a cookbook, fanfiction, fucking whatever, read what makes you happy
reading is supposed to be fun and don’t let elitism sap any joy out of it
My reading habits are either:
- Read 1 book every two months
- Read a book a day
There is no in between.
The only books you need to be careful with are library books and other people’s books. You know why? Because they aren’t yours.
If you own the book, you own the book and can do whatever you want with it. If you are super careful when reading your books, that’s great! If you break the spine on every book you own, that’s awesome! They are your books!
Respect other people that read differently than you. Y’all need to chill.

Reading a good book after a bad day is like a warm hug from a dear friend
- Me: *finishes reading a book*
- Me: omg I have to talk about this
- Friend: wait I havent read it yet
- Me: okay no spoilers but... *slowly starts spoiling the whole book*
Me when I finish reading a good book

- Me: WHY!!!!!!
- Me: I don't know what to do with my life anymore
- Me: *is an emotional wreck*
- Me to a friend: Here read this book

I love reading a book that you can read 100 pages of and not even realize how much time has passed
