From the time I learnt how to read,books have been my constant companion.
I can read ,standing in a crowded platform . Reading in places ,which are outside my comfort zone is a my favourite brain workout .
Focus ,read ,understand.Become immune to the surrounding chaos.
I read ,ebooks when Rai sleeps in my lap.
I read books when I travel .Anywhere,anytime wherever I can.
I never visit the beauty parlour without my stash of books .
Waiting is fun for me, if I have my favourite books.
In the middle of chaos reading books calm me down.Even today when politics and economy both are making headlines, books helped.
I love getting books as gifts.Now blogging has made that even better.
Discovering new blogs ,reading them ,are like finding cookies hidden in moms kitchen .
If I didn’t read I would not have made it as a doctor.
If I didn’t read ,I would never have found your wonderful blogs.
If I didn’t read ,till my eyeballs fell off, I wouldn’t have managed to set up my blog .
If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t have my balcony garden.
If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t have found my hubby in medical college.
If I didn’t read I would never have the chance to read all the wonderful books stacked in libraries .
How does this habit of reading help ?
- Reading helps you write better.
- It improves vocabulary .
- It’s the best way to learn and increase knowledge .
- It builds memory.
- It helps you develop logical reasoning.
- It helps decrease stress
- It’s a form of mindfulness therapy.
- It gives you mental stimulation which is the best way to stop ageing.
I feel thankful for this love of reading.

Reading books is a bigtime passion of mine too; now diversified it with blog reads too. So glad to have connected with your blog!! Its a treasure mine of wellness tips
Happy reading! and do visitif you’d like to read and review new releases.
I just love reading!!!!! I read every chance I get!
I love reading. Calms me down and it’s like meditation 🙂
I love reading and these days I’m reading George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire Series, A Game of Thrones. Hope to finish the series before starting of the next GOT season!
I’m thankful for reading as well. I’ve created a reading list for the next year. I cannot wait to start.
I used to have a serious passion for reading but reading textbooks kind of ruined that for me. However, I do LOVE to take books on vacation and sit on the beach and read!
I am a voracious reader and read a lot. reading in fact has given me a wider knowledge than I could have otherwise obtained.
If I didn’t read, I’d have never become a blogger. It really is crazy to think about!

Reading is my favourite habit too! I have a habit of reading at night before sleeping. I am glad that my daughters also love reading and elder one is an avid reader. Books can be our best friends.
I really need to link up with you girls next time.
Well, I wish I still ‘read’ my focus is more on tv. (blah!)
But, so happy that I still read blogs…else I would be such a vegetable.
I have read most of the good books, ( Gone with the wind, Kane and Abel etc)
Thanks Z .Glad you read blogs. Don write for the blog hop .It’s open ton or row and day after
I love this! Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I have to be able to do it daily or else I get cranky.
This has been such a wonderful day and only because of reading and it ends with reading this post. Wonderful one, Amrita 🙂
I would have been nothing without books. I’ve loved to read since even before entering school, and, at one time, I even wanted to be a librarian.
That’s a nice dream to have Alana. Glad you enjoyed this.
I am recently reading a lot. I just love it. regret about not getting opportunity to read earlier… I like your blog name.. healthwealthbridge ..

Thanks Nisha
Ha! I love reading too. Thanks to Mamma and her sisters, I had about 3k books to choose from. They were avid readers – from Mills and Boon to Shakespeare, they had it all covered. I love reading both in kindle and paperbacks. While traveling or at night in bed, kindle is a gift from above 🙂 Awesome prompt. Will participate this time 🙂
Thanks Shalini do participate. It’s awesome that you had 3000 books to read growing up.I haunted second hand and first hand libraries.
Reading is a blessing
Reading is one habit that keeps me sane. I can get lost in the world of books and I find reading therapeutic. I can read in a crowded bus too!
Through reading books, it makes you smart like you’ve taken a Master or PhD degree ????
Oh, yes! Reading is one habit that ensures that you’re never alone! Thank you for featuring me here:)
Your reading habit comes through your posts. So much research and hardwork goes behind your every post.
Thank you so much Manisha .Glad you liked it.Don’t forget to submit your posts.
I love books! Especially Travel books 🙂 I love researching new places to explore and visit! Other than that, the bible is my most important book to read when I need to feel better.
