World Book Day! What's your reading preference?

 “There is no friend as loyal as a book.” - Ernest Hemingway

Did you know there’s more than one way to read a book? If you’re like me, I prefer the old fashioned way, book in hand with a cup of tea or coffee sitting beside me. However, this past year I gave in and bought a Kindle Paperwhite. was hesitant for years because I felt as if I was dishonoring books and the history behind them. That quickly fell to the wayside when I purchased my kindle and realized I could read late at night in the dark, or drop it in my purse while on the go and it wouldn’t get bent up. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the feel of a brand new book with it’s fresh crisp pages. There’s a certain thrill in opening a new book for the first time, knowing you’re about to journey somewhere you haven’t yet been. And I don’t even mind used books with their old musty library smell because it reminds me that like the story it’s telling, the book also has an untold story of the places its traveled and the people who have journeyed with it. And for the readers out there who can’t keep their eyes focused on a page, or maybe their eyesight isn’t what it used to be, there’s also the audible versions. I’ve never been a fan of audible, but I think it’s because I’m a visual learner and I comprehend more when I see the words in front of me. But no matter your book style of choice, pick up a book today and READ something in honor of World Book Day!
