New books smell good; secondhand books smell better.
Please don’t feel you need to race to read tons of books. Please don’t feel you need to read books faster. Please don’t feel you need to read more books to prove your validity as a book-lover. Just love books and love reading. Read what inspires you. Read a whole chapter a day or even just a page. Read fiction, read non-fiction, read a poem, read a cool recipe, read an interesting article… just enjoy reading. You don’t have to prove your love for reading to anyone else.
My advice? Bring a book. Bring a book when you have meetings, bring a book when you go walking in the park. Bring a book to a first date. You don’t have to read it, that isn’t the point. Just having it with you is enough.
“Read the book that’s best for you. If you’re living with depression, read a novel about depression. If you’re heartbroken, read a novel about unrequited love. If you’re feeling suicidal or hopeless, read a depressing poetry collection, and in a weird way, it’ll give you some hope. And that’s what literature is all about, understanding and knowing that your pain, your suffering is universal.”

No matter what. Don’t shame a kid for wanting to read a book you don’t like. Don’t shame a child for choosing a comic book instead of a novel. A famous book series that you may not enjoy? Who cares! Let them enjoy it! Who cares as long as it gets them reading! We all started somewhere. Manga? YA? Classics? Comics? Picture books? Who cares what they are reading, care about the fact that they ARE reading! Support young readers!
If you type a book’s name on an iphone/ipad etc. and pdf at the end on google, it will say “open in iBooks” at the top and if you click on that, the book will be added to your iBooks library to read at any time!! You can use this method to get any book for FREE. Reblog to save a life.
