The leaves are turning vibrant colors and falling off the trees. What a perfect time to grab a book, turn a page, and read! Engaging stories can be found in bookstores, libraries, online, or on your own bookshelf.
As an author and writer, I love reading and writing books and poems. Time seems to stop when I am in a bookstore, library, or sipping a hot beverage at a coffee spot while digesting a succulent story. A quaint café can be a cozy place to order a latte and lose yourself in an intriguing book or read cuddled up on the couch.

There are many genres including biographies, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, romance, inspirational, motivational, and educational. Whichever ones you prefer, there are many treasures to discover. While there are many ways to consume books—hard copy print, eBooks, audiobooks—I prefer to smell, feel, and touch the printed pages. Perhaps you do, too.
