It's true—according to research, reading is a more effective stress reliever than listening to music, going for a walk, or even spending time in the outdoors.
Not that I'm stressed (not even about it almost being Back To School time) but August 9 is National Book Lover's Day and August 10 is International Lazy Day—so I'm combining them for a double day of reading. All. Day. Long.
The timing couldn't be better. I admit I'm a little behind on my reading goals this summer. Maybe it's the heat distracting me. Or the fact that my sister and I have been spending more time at my grandparents's canola farm—me running, her baking with Grandma, and then both of us eating that baking.
Do you have the Superman Duffy graphic novel Tasting My Story? If you do, check out the recipe for MONSTER COOKIES. They're my favourite—and Grandma makes them every summer. And spring. And...come to think of it...every season. <heh>
Bet I could convince Grandma to make me a batch for my two days of reading! Gotta jet—calling her right now!

P.S. How are YOU spending National Book Lover's Day?
