What Are the Best Ways to Read My Favorite Books?
While we all know there’s something special about a physical copy of a good book when it comes to the holidays we want to shout out digital copies. Finding online books can be key to sneaking off in a hurry. Think about it, if you’ve got a book on your phone or tablet and that’s likely handy, you won’t even have to rush off to grab your book first. Let’s not forget about audiobooks too! Drown out that holiday noise with the soothing voice reading to you. Spotify now has audiobooks if you haven’t heard and this is the perfect time to give them a shot!
Where Should I Read?
Holiday readers, you’ve probably gotten creative before regarding places to hide and read. Here’s a comprehensive list of places you could possibly get away in a pinch:
The attic or basement
A blanket fort
The car (don’t forget to use the heat)
Under the dinner table
The bathroom
A coffee shop (best on crazy Black Fridays)
The backyard or porch
With the family pet
Under the bed (don’t mind the dust bunnies)
Grocery store parking lot
The stuffing (we’re kidding… but it does kind of sound nice)
Really, the point of this list is to remind you that taking a break during these last few weeks of the year is not only okay, it’s crucial! Ask for some space if you need it, find the most comfortable place, and read away. It’s what holiday books should be for in our opinion. Happy Thanksgiving, and happy reading!
