Wednesday Wisdom

 




Welcome to Wednesday Wisdoms! 


Every Wednesday I will be sharing a book related wisdom quote in the hope of sharing my passion for reading books. I hope that the wisdom quotes spark an interest in reading in your life.




Today's Book Wisdom Quote




Today's wisdom quote is a classic quote that every book lover should know. When I think of this quote, I think of the rooms in my house and book nook she shed that are full of books on the shelves. I smile every time that I see the books, they are part of me, and I am part of them. 

I have to admit that I am guilty of looking for shelves of books when I visit people's homes, I mean come on what's a home without books gracing the shelves? I also have to admit that people have caught me shaking my head and when they ask me what's the matter, I ask them where's the books ... SMH ... yup I am one of those unapologetic book people who promotes the benefit of reading to everyone ... sigh 

So can I get an Amen when it comes to filling shelves with books that you love! 📚🕮

Today's Book Wisdom Quote




Exactly! I have always been a passionate advocate for reading, and this quote hits the mark on the head. 

I have always been met with eye rolls when I would ask why people don't choose to pick up a book and give the stories a chance. It doesn't matter what genre is chosen, but books have a way of introducing readers to adventures, life lessons and lifelong learning opportunities. All a person needs to do is look at the book's description and find one that speaks to them. How difficult is it to find the time to put down the cell phone and stop watching reality tv, open a book and open your mind! 

Books can provide many things: be an adventure, be a safe place, be an escape from the troubles in our world, be a vehicle that stimulates curiosity, be an enjoyable hobby, be a provider and searcher of truth, and to simply make you smile. With so many genres available to read, I can't imagine that people don't take a moment to see what books may pique their interest. 

So, my challenge is to take a moment and look into the world of books and the various genres that are available, you may surprise yourself and find a book that may resonate with you!

Today's Book Wisdom Quote




This quote is so true, a reader does live a thousand lives every time they open a book. Just think, if you began reading as a child and you have continued to read throughout your adult life, can you imagine how many books you will have read by the time you die, it will probably be a very impressive number. 

Every time you open a book and slip into the storyline, you are embarking on a journey, and by embracing the characters' lives, it's like you are vicariously living in their world too. It doesn't matter what genre is your favorite, every book offers the readers an escape into a different life, one that can be thrilling, romantic, out-of-this world, etc. 

The next time you open up a book, think about all the books that you've read and those to come, and be amazed at all the lives you have led, and get excited about all the lives you will lead every time you slip within the pages of a story.

Today's Book Wisdom Quote




Today's quote is an appreciation post to Dr. Seuss. If it wasn't for my dad who taught me to read and write using Dr. Seuss's books, I wouldn't be on a lifelong journey as a passionate book reader. I can still remember the fun way my dad introduced me to reading by using different voices as we read Dr. Seuss's picture books, the fun adventures that awaited me as he turned the pages kept me in anticipation and fueled my interest. 

Doesn't Dr. Seuss's quote ring a bell of truth? When you open a book and turn the pages, the story takes you on an adventure that allows you to engage in an endless journey where your imagination is set free. Whatever genre speaks to you, books provide lessons and knowledge that will carry you through your life journey in one way or another. So, open a book and embrace the adventure that awaits you! 

One final wisdom nugget, as a passionate reader, I appreciate the authors who bring their words to the written platform for all of us to enjoy. As you read a book, take a few minutes to write a review as a thank you to the authors. A book review doesn't have to be wordy like a book blogger/ reviewer provides, but a small note of what the book meant to you is always appreciated, and please be kind and thoughtful, showing ignorance by belittling the author and their work is not very nice, so even if a book doesn't resonate with you, just be kind when posting your thoughts.

Today's Book Wisdom Quote






This book wisdom quote means a lot to me personally. As a child my parents gave me the gift of loving to read books. They explained to me that books can provide many things: be an adventure, be a safe place, be an escape from the troubles in our world, be a vehicle that stimulates curiosity, be an enjoyable hobby, be a provider and searcher of truth, and to simply make you smile. 

As an only child, books were my best friends and to this day they still are. My passion for reading has grown as I have aged, and they have provided so much of what my parents had said, and I can't imagine a day going by that I don't escape within the pages of a book. 

Whenever I am asked why I love to read, and why I have so many books in my house, I try to explain what reading books have to offer the world. I usually get rolled eyes or blank stares, and this perplexes me to no end. With so many genres available to read, I can't imagine that people don't take a moment to see what books may pique their interest. I usually just shake my head and chalk it up to not being open minded enough to maybe see what books may provide to their lives, it is what it is. 

I always hope that future generations will find the gift of reading books, if my post opens the eyes of possible new readers, then I feel like I have accomplished my mission to pass on my passion. 

So, my challenge is to take a moment and look into the world of books and the various genres that are available, you may surprise yourself and find a book that may resonate with you!
