With the habit of reading, we get only pros and never cons

I’m a person who if I don’t have a book around me, I feel like I’m not complete.

Since I was a little girl, at the time internet access was limited, not as now and so for my schoolwork, I used many books to do my homework.

I remember doing a job on the solar system and going to the bookshelf to look for information, in short, I have to say it was the best job in my class.

This is all to say that books are currently overlooked and more and more people have a habit of reading.

The habit of reading a book can do wonders, especially to our emotional and psychological.

I have to admit that nowadays I don’t research to do school work but read histories, like novels, mysteries, and fantasies. My favorite genres.

I made a pact with myself that every day I have to read at least 1 chapter of a book, to see if I can make this little activity a daily habit. I know you’re going to help me mentally and often, because I’m so busy, I kind of forget to. So I decided that’s not what I wanted to do and really had to take steps like “compel me” to read a physical book.

What about you guys? Do you still have physical books that you usually read or just read on your digital devices? I personally like to feel the magic of a book more than to read on digital devices, Medium here technically does not count because it only gives online.
