Why We Love Reading

  Why We Love Reading


In our past blog posts we have told you a lot of things about getting into reading,finding your genre and how to have the most enjoyment out of a book.


Through all of those blog posts we never told you why we enjoy reading so much ourselves. We decided to make a list of reasons that we enjoy reading so much.


  1. You Can Go Anywhere.

When you read a good book, then you could end up at the top of Mount Everest or at the bottom of the Pacific ocean without leaving your house.

  1. You Could Be Anyone.

When you are reading you could be reading a book in the perspective of the Queen of England or one of the slaves who escaped in America and you almost feel like it all happened to you.

  1. Anything Could Happen.

If you are reading a book, the rules of the real world are all left behind. People are magic or coming back from the dead and you rarely see it coming

  1. You can “Zone Out”

When you are really into a book it can almost feel like everyone and everything around you has disappeared and there is just you and your book left in the room.

  1. It helps to educate you

When you re reading, you will often come across words that you don’t know the meaning of. When you read a word that you haven't seen before in a sentence, then by reading the rest of the sentence it will be easier to figure out what that word means, and by doing so that word is added to your vocabulary

  1. It can change your opinion.

If you are reading a book about a world war or about a revolution, you will probably already have an opinion on the happenings of that time. But when you read a book from the perspective of someone of another opinion then, by the end of the book,your opinion may have changed to that of the main character.

  1. You can read the same book again and again

A book is a very special thing that you can just read again and again no matter how old you are and you will always pick up a different detail or have a slightly different opinion on the book itself.

  1. There is a book out there for everyone.

No matter who you are or what you like, there is a book out there that you will love. Whether it’s a romance novel,a thriller or a fairy-tale there is a book for everyone, no matter there personality.

  1. It’s fun.

There’s no other way of describing reading a really good book. It is like having some of your worst memories and some of your best ones put into your head in the most magical way


So that is why we like reading and have from as long as we can remember. Do you like to read? Why/ Why not?

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik
