*Take some time to look around your house and see what books are available to you. Find a type of book that perhaps you haven’t had time to read in the past. As you read, create a reading goal for yourself. What space will you choose? How much will you read in a day? How often will you reflect on what you’ve read? Would you recommend this book? Who would you recommend it to?
