My mother instilled the love of reading within me at a very young age. I always saw it as a super power. Reading is a balm on my psyche and my heart. It is entertaining and inspiring and a phenomenal delight. It is a compassion growing, weapon of mass enlightment. It is a security blanket and a shield against the brutal chaos this world produces. Escapism and feeling all the feels. I love books. My reading tastes have changed recently and while donating books to the library is a lovely privilege that I will still take part in, books are pricey. I figure the books I have received in book boxes, or the books I have read and don’t plan on reading again deserve a happy home where they will have the chance to be enjoyed. The money I receive will go right back to the new books that I am anticipating. Everybody wins here.
