Read A Book Day

There is a Chinese proverb that says, “A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.”

Today marks National "Read A Book Day." As you head back to school, why not start the year off with some fun reading before school work sets in too deep?

Need some ideas? Here are the last five books I read (and loved!):

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle

Every Little Thing In The World, by Nina de Gramont

Stolen, by Lucy Christopher

Silent To The Bone, by E.L. Konigsburg

If I Stay, by Gayle Forman
