did you know that in 2017 there was a study done that suggests that reading books actually helps you live longer?

The results showed a 20% reduction in risk of death over the 12 years following the study when compared to non-readers.

In case you're looking for more excuses to ditch responsibilities and read: it's good for your health!

123 My kitty is my therapy

@bookishbrews @bookstodon Kind of makes sense to me. The worst accident I've had reading a book was said book falling out of my hands and onto my face. So, there's definitely more dangerous ways to spend your time (even though the book was a 600-700 page hardcover, which made it feel somewhat like faceplanting).
