My 94-year-old mother is a voracious reader. We both buy books and share them. There is a reader who works at one of my doctor’s offices. Once my mama and I finish books, I put them in boxes and take them to the reader at my doctor’s office. She is always thrilled to see me, or maybe it’s just the books she’s thrilled to see! I also take books to our local used bookstore. I do not take credit for them because I don’t mind paying for their books. It’s my small way of contributing and maybe helping a small business stay in business.
Happy Reading!!
