The Joy in Getting Lost in a Good Book
Reading brings me joy even when I don’t particularly care for a book. In the past, I would not give myself credit for a book that I did not finish. However, if I’ve put time into making the attempt to read a book, then I deserve credit for that attempt. In this month’s choices, there…
