I wait for the authors I enjoy to bring out new books and buy them as soon as they do. I often buy books from a charity shop from other authors and then donate them back when I have read them.
Reading is a good way to distract you when you have negative thoughts running around your head, it is amazing how reading a book can have a positive impact on how you feel.

From when I was a child, I’ve always loved reading. I own a Kindle and have several books on it, but I also tend to go online to read the news and anything else that interests me.
I enjoy reading to my grandchildren to encourage a love of reading.
Reading is a pleasure and a way to lose oneself in the story. It opens up a world of knowledge and can be done anywhere at any time.
