So beautifully put!💗 Like you I love reading too and I research things to death before I get involved in them or choose them over other things. Books have always been my passion and were always top of my birthday and Christmas list. In fact Christmas day I would grab my books head to my bedroom with some treats and just lie there and read, read, read. When lunch came and the family came round for us to celebrate together and have fun in the swimming pool, I would emerge blinking into the bright sunlight, having satiated my imagination and ready for the real world😍 Kindred spirit you are @edystringz and you are very right. The pages of a book are far more valuable than the paper they are written on. The learning and growth experiences offered up are immeasurable.
