With this past week's political events and news (in the US, at least), along with work-related issues that I'd rather not dwell on, television has been a distraction to numb the outcome of both.

When things aren't going well in the world and in my environment, I find it difficult to focus on reading.

Here's hoping @Andrew65's #FabulousFebruary Readathon can help to shift these gray clouds and lift my typically sunshiny mood.

Goals to follow 💕

Although I didn't get a chance to join in on this #readathon yesterday since my hubby and I were busy with house projects and errands, I am on board to continue for the remainder of the week starting today 😊

Thank you for organizing this #JoyousJanuary activity, @Andrew65!

Such good advice. Never force yourself to read a book that you do not enjoy.

Sadly, I think that‘s why so many people don‘t continue to read after they leave school, and there are so many wonderful books out there. Definitely something for everyone!
