Read Widely

My new favorite picture of the entire Internet

     When we set about bettering our reading lives, we want to read widely. Not sure what this means? Let me break it down.

• Non-fiction, fiction, and poetry
• Genres - fantasy, self-help, YA, MG, children's, romance, mystery, adventure, action, sci-fi, classics, contemporary, thriller, etc.
• Flavors/feels/styles - cozy, can't-put-down, fast-paced, deeply philosophical, chilling, etc.
• Authors/characters - male/female, various races, various backgrounds, various styles, etc.

     We need to dabble in each category occasionally, and there are thousands more that I don't have time to list.

     (If you're wondering what YA is, that would be young adult, namely, teen. And MG is middle grade--not quite children's but not quite YA.)

     Expect a lot from your books when you choose them with varying textures and characters and paces and plots. They won't disappoint.

     Challenge for today: Read from a genre or category that you don't usually partake in.
