So a very dear friend of mine sent me this snap last night. And you guys, my heart exploded. THIS is why I do this. Because of me screaming about books and reading helps just one single person decide to take some time and pick up a book, we have both won.

It doesn’t matter how quickly or slowly you read. It doesn’t matter what genre you read. It doesn’t matter if it takes you 6 months to finish a single book. Taking the time to pick up a book and read for the pure enjoyment of it is simply amazing. It is such a beautiful way to reward yourself, and to take some much needed and earned you time.

So to my wonderful friend, thank YOU. Thank you for sharing this with me. Thank you for listening to me scream about books nonstop. And thank you for allowing that to motivate you to pick up a book. I know how busy you are. I know what crazy hours you work. And I am so proud of you. And so excited for you. I hope you enjoy every single word!!
