Slovenian book bloggers you should follow if you love books https://citymagazine.si/en/slovenian-book-bloggers-and-bloggers-whom-you-must-follow-if-you-love-books/ Wed, 27 Feb 2019 05:01:13 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?post_type=article&p=384114

There are more than 20 book blogs operating in Slovenia, and all of them strive to bring the book closer to readers and ignite a spark of interest in those who have not read before. Because they also want to appeal to young people, book bloggers use new online platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, as they make it easier to establish contact and influence people's reading habits. In the world of "influencers", who are mainly represented in the beauty and fashion industry, it would be high time that book bloggers, who enrich the mind and spirit with their work, also deserve their place among them.

Reading is not just considered one of the best ways to spend your free time. It takes us to an unknown world, which, in contrast to the film, is much more our own, as we partially construct it with our imagination. It is therefore nothing unusual that reading helps to improve well-being and has a therapeutic effect.

Dobra novica za knjižne molje. Ljudje, ki berejo knjige, živijo dlje kot tisti, ki ne berejo. Študija zbornika Social Science & Medicine ugotavlja, da je med pozitivnimi učinki branja knjig tudi daljše življenje. Preverite, koliko let dlje živijo redni bralci od tistih, ki ne berejo. Gustave Flaubert je imel tako prav, ko je trdil, da svoj obstoj lažje prenašamo, če se redno zatekamo k literaturi.

There is nothing nicer than when we crawl under the sheets with a book in hand on cold autumn and winter days, or when we take refuge under the canopy, in a hammock or on the beach in the shade of the sun on hot summer days. We can read anywhere and anytime. At the table, standing, on the train, on a bench in the park, but there is no more than a comfortable corner where you can disconnect from the outside world and completely immerse yourself in your own world. And if these aren't the dream reading nooks you'll see below, then they don't exist!

Reading is one of the most popular hobbies. It relaxes and educates us at the same time. It allows us to experience all kinds of adventures and learn a variety of interesting facts without leaving our comfortable armchair. Reading brings another advantage - namely, if we read together, with a partner, we do something else for our relationship. So why does reading together strengthen our partnership?
