Hello to you all!
My friend asked me this question:
what inspired you to read?๐Ÿ˜ƒ
and i decided to ask all of you book worms out there, what first inspired you guys to read books?
was it a book it's self? or was it a friend or relative that encouraged you to do so?
there must have been a reason we all like to read books, what's yours? does it take your mind off of something bad that happened, or is it a source of entertainment for you?
these are just some questions i would like you guys to think about.๐Ÿ˜› i will be back to answer them my-self๐Ÿ˜†

^^^^really.....cool! mine is different.....see my teacher always made us like read books and write essays on them, and because of that....i got a chance to explore books of my interest....and once that happened....i developed a strong interest in reading!๐Ÿ˜‰ Now, i am a complete bookworm! and my best friend is also a bookworm.....a bigger one than me.....and we have each other's company on books! it's funny, when we go shopping with each other into a bookstore.....and there's a series we want to read....well be like, ok ill take the first one, you take the second one...and well borrow from each other!๐Ÿ˜† it's our way to enjoy our selves at a bookstore and at the same time save money๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Well..I really don't know how it began...But it just started....
U guys don't know how big a bookworm I'm(coz I'm new to this forum)..

The moment I get a book I start reading & keep on reading..But the condition is it shld be good...& engrosssing

If the book isn't then I take a long time to finish it! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

But most importantly while I'm reading a book it transports me too another world & makes me forget everything....just eveything.. ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜ณ

im a bookworm.
and i use to hate reading all those summer readings for skool. they gave the worst books to read. long, dreadful, and borings ones.
and then my tenth grade teacher. he is a piece of work. he inspired not only me but every1 in the classs to read. and the fact tht he was hot helped too. i wanted to impress him by reading ahead and out of class reading. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
and i still read to this day.
reading helps me get out of my world and enter sum1 eles for the time. and enjoy a little happy ending
and plus, reading helps you obtain more knowledge through sum1 else expriences.
i luv reading ๐Ÿ˜ณ
