I have loved books for as long as I can remember. I adore nothing more than cracking open a new cover, turning each smooth page, getting carried away by a good story. But it wasn’t until recently that I fully appreciated how necessary reading is in my life. As my life has gotten busier and busier, I’ve realized how much I need a break each day to unwind and unplug from technology. Reading does exactly that. It helps me relax, get clarity, and makes me more creative!
