The Gifts of Reading by Jennie Orchard
5.0
Interesting essays about how different people view books and their connection with them. I always love reading different points of views and this is one of the ones I really enjoyed! It introduced me to different people and I ended up following some of the authors mentioned because I really liked their writing styles!
When I had the book, I aim to finish one essay every time I pick up this book. It started out great but have been a slog on some days. I haven't gotten the chance to re-read the book, but I look forward to re-discovering things I missed!
P.S. Take care not to jump into buying books without first vetting them first though! The enthusiasm of the authors are so contagious I sometimes bought the books without hesitation! There are actually a couple of books that missed the mark for me, for the time being. I'm sure I will be the right person to read those books some time in the future, just not now!
