For me, reading is a way to expand the imagination and slow down. In a world that constantly chases dopamine – through social media, notifications, and endless to-do lists – reading feels like a break. But not just any break. It’s the kind that transports you to other worlds, makes you reflect, and gives you the kind of mental pause that’s becoming increasingly rare.

I can’t help but notice how many people struggle to focus for more than five minutes without reaching for their phones. It feels like a reflection of the times we live in – constant distractions pulling us in every direction. Anxiety and depression are becoming more common, and I truly believe that reading offers a therapeutic escape from that.

Reading isn’t just about consuming pages. It’s about creating mental space, letting your mind wander, and getting lost – on purpose. And you know what helps? Having a cozy place that invites you to sit down and dive into a good book.
