    Welcome (since you’re a relative newbie) and thanks for reviewing for Love Bytes, and to Dreamspinner for the giveaway. I used to listen to audio more and now it’s ebooks; but I’m happy to hear how audios have helped you.

    Because of physical/financial issues, my world is very small. Books allow me to live vicariously through them, which saves my sanity.

    I have been a reader all my life, so I can honestly say that books influence my every day, my way of thinking and living, I do not understand my life without books!

    Books have taught me a lot about the world and about people. I think they have made me more open minded and understanding.

    Thanks for the post!

    No matter how I’m feeling, what I’m lacking, or what I’m curious about, a book always seems to turn up that gives me what I need!

    Books have always been my escape and a love of mine. They help me relax and explore new worlds. One book actually led me on a journey that is helping me understand more about myself than I ever thought, Ace by Jack Byrne.

    books have always been the way I escape….whether it’s to the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the vampire laden world of Anita Blake (both are my pre-M/M book worlds) or the THIRDS world, Ty and Zane, Tate and Logan, Infected world…..they all take me away from my real life and immerse me in theirs

    Books have always been a source of entertainment and escape for me. I love it because it helped to build my imagination and let me learn about experiences I would’t otherwise have for one reason or another.

    Hi Annika, great to hear that you found a new home with love bytes reviews and that audiobooks have improved your every day life situation in general.
    I loved reading ever since I could read. My first love were probably Grimm’s fairy tales. Tried a lot of books ever since. Reading calms me, reading helps me, when I struggle. Wouldn’t want to miss it.

    I can’t remember a time when I haven’t had a book in my hand or at least nearby. Reading as always been my safe place, my escape and my comfort. I love being transported to new places, learn new things and discovering new ways of thinking through books and reading.

    I love to read it is so much fun to read and create the characters in your mind and to be able to escape the real world for a while.

    Divergent by Veronica Roth changed my entire life…it started the process of me taking back complete control of my life, and it helped me take my future into my own hands.

    I prefer reading to any other activity. People ask me if I’m watching TV shows but I spend all my spare time reading so I never am.

    I don’t think there’s any specific book that changed my life, but I’m grateful that I discovered romantic books in general. They relax me and make me happier, however temporary, in the midst of problems that the real life is made of.

    No specific book, but books in general are big part of my life. Always have been. They’re my safe place and I can hardly imagine life without them.

    Hmm, not sure if there’s a specific book but as a whole, reading have made me accept how different people are and the beliefs they have, even if it’s the complete opposite of what I believe.
