Are you a reader? I have a spot in the house that is a no-electronic zone that is just for reading books. I'll be honest it is sometimes hard for me to concentrate long enough to finish an entire book, but I do enjoy researching things that are of interest to me. I like reading about nature, the outdoors, music history and more. Well, today is National Read a Book Day so it's time to pick up a book, throw the reading glasses on, get comfortable and enjoy some quiet time reading.
