Reading is something I dove into as a kid, and never quite let go. I admit, that while I was in college and grad school, reading on top of all the reading I already had to do, wasn't as common. I dove more into tv series and movies in my downtime, but reading never quite ...
Summer book list ready to pop open
Finding time to read may not always be the easiest, but taking some time off in the summer for mental health, relaxation and/or just because gives us a little extra time. Imagine yourself sitting on a beach with the waves crashing or by the pool with the sun shining, or just on your couch with ...
What’s your new audio obsession?
Reading. It used to feel like a chore, and some of us used to run to the cliff notes versions for high school. Pride and Prejudice, again? No Thanks (sorry to those who loved it). However, I did read a ton growing up and it was the perfect escapism. I was a big fan of ...
reading, is there a purpose?
We read on our commutes, while we're on vacation, before going to bed, and whenever an opportunity strikes us. It could be a tangible book or a digital version. Sometimes we may opt for listening to a book instead. Wherever your choice, whatever your medium, reading has not lost its lust. Truthfully it feels like ...
Captive Heat Wave Audience
As the heat wave hit NYC and surrounding areas, many of us were stuck indoors, hoping our AC and fans kept us comfortable and the power remained on. We kept our devices charged, and got ready to camp in for the weekend. Those who did venture out, quickly regretted it. It was the perfect weekend ...

Last night I was reading some of the final pages of “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed, (not finished it yet..almost done!) and I began to think about my next book choice. For months I had one book in mind, was so sure about it. Until last ...
Finish off your summer reading list…
...even though we can definitely read into the fall. Who says summer beach reads are only for the beach! Ever since I was a kid I've loved escaping into a book. It allows you an adventure right at your fingertips, and you feel like you can really let your life sit aside for a little ...
reading made simpler
We all have our excuses. I don't have time. I have other things to do. I don't want to carry a book with me. My commute is too hectic. But reading has truly never been easier, and I dig it. First I took the leap a few years back into the Kindle and all the digital ...
