Not the kind of “love” question you’re expecting for Valentine’s Day. No, what I want to know is: what do you love most about reading?
I could be in Tuscany on Sunday and Athens on Thursday. I get to observe a medieval drunk lord in a nightie or analyze an assassin's motive while sipping coffee. I'm on top of the world when I'm buried in the pages.

I'm not sure I should admit it, but I didn't know any of these.
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly got some great authors listed there, inc my favourite, Poe.
ReplyDeleteI confess - I didn't recognize any of the songs. I'm slowly expanding my music collection, so one day, I may!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Yes, being transported to other places and experiencing other worlds. Reading is the magic carpet.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY BTT POST
I love that reading can be both entertaining and educational at the same time.
