Reading is Fundamental

We are told how important it is to read to our children. We tell our children how important it is to read. But when it comes to us, well, we don’t have time. BS! You can make the time. All you need is 20 minutes. In 20 minutes you can reads 20 pages. 20 pages multiplied by 365 days in a year, that’s 7,300 pages. The average book is 350 pages, that’s 20 books in a year. Think of the information you can gather! Think of the fun and relaxation you can have. Here is a list of books that I have read recently:
