Books and Reading
Reading is like slipping on a pair of enchanted glasses! One moment you're sitting in your armchair, the next you're wandering through dragon-scaled libraries, sailing starlit seas, or whispering secrets with characters who feel more real than your breakfast. Research tells us that turning pages does more than just pass the time: it softens tension like warm butter, wakes up sleepy brain cells, and stretches the heart until it can hold more empathy than ever before.
Books are the quiet architects of wonder. They invite us to peek through windows into lives we'll never live, to walk in shoes made of someone else's memories, and to discover that the world is far stranger and kinder than we imagined. Each story plants seeds of curiosity, waters them with fresh perspectives, and watches as critical thinking blooms into something sturdy and bright.
Regular reading sharpens the mind. Your vocabulary grows richer, concentration deepens into a river, and analytical skills dance through problems with newfound grace. And when stress in life comes knocking? Books offer a secret door to somewhere quieter, somewhere where worries wait outside until you're ready to return.

Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman.
Perfect for fans of witty banter, fast-paced plots, and romantic tension, Red Star Rebels is a high-octane, high-chemistry sci-fi adventure from the New York Times bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising.
It's 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patchwork of settlements. You can buy a one-way ticket to a new life - if you're rich.
Enter Hunter Graves: handsome, ambitious, and with spectacularly bad timing. He shows up unannounced at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. And he's left behind. Uh-oh.
Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tongued stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy is the jerk who might just help you survive, so here we are.
Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they're falling for each other.
