Why read? Addicted to bettering myself!
I love to read. I love listening to audiobooks. I love improving myself and becoming a better, more confident and competent human being and mother. It doesn’t solve all of my problems, but it does give me a little relief and helps me deal with things in a better way. I have some “go to” books that I listen to if I am feeling anxious or out of control. Do you? Feel free to share them in the comments at the end of this list of quotes about reading and books.
