As you know, I love reading, and it's something I want to share with you! Reading has been proven to be instrumental for our overall health, intelligence, vocabulary acquisition, and ability to empathize with more people in society, and reading, with the right book, really can be a fun escape from the mundane.

Each Friday of the school year, I will share a first page, exciting page, or first chapter of a book you may be sparked into reading. While listening to the first page, try to imagine being inside the story. Think about who the characters might be. If you hear something that ignites your curiosity, I'll get that book (or something similar) in your hands as soon as possible.

This is for pure enjoyment and for the hope to bring a good book into your world!
