Booklr Questions – A book that makes you feel comforted?

Do you have a book that makes you feel comforted? There isn’t any one book that makes me feel comforted. For me, it’s more the act of reading.  When I am in the middle of a panic attack, or feel anxiety coming on, I find reading to be very calming. More often than not, when…

Booklr Questions – Do you like to write reviews?

Do you like to write reviews when you finish a book? I love writing reviews about the things I’ve read.  It’s a great way to tell more people that they should be reading the book too.  That’s the biggest reason, besides holding myself to my reading challenge, that I started my Book It posts this…
