Read Across America Week runs from March 2-6 this year. It begins on Dr. Suess' birthday, but the entire month of March is dedicated to reading.
Why is reading so important?
Well, according to Healthline.com, reading improves brain performance, reduces stress, aids in sleep, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, helps fight depression, increases the ability to empathize with other people, increases your vocabulary and comprehension, and could help you live longer!
With so many benefits, why wouldn't you want to read more?
As an avid reader, I read all year long. Since I was a child, I've been reading anything I can get my hands on. Not only am I a reader, but I worked in a bookstore for several years, and I'm also an author. I'm not kidding when I say reading is my life! :)
And since I love book recommendations, I thought I'd share a few with you!
