Can You Answer This? What Life-Altering Book Have You Read Lately?

What Life-Altering Book Have You Read Lately?

Reading is a wonderful pastime. There are stories that can transform the way we see certain aspects of life. Books that make us laugh and smile. Mysteries, romance novels, science fiction, memoirs, etc., so many to choose from. The fact that there are so many genres give us variety in picking what we want to read.

Reading can have a profound effect on us. We can read something that changes the way we look at things. Give us a new perspective on something that we may have formed an opinion about, before knowing more.

The reasons we choose to read vary greatly. Some of us read to broaden our vocabulary. Relax and delve into a murder mystery, science fiction, or romance novel. Others aim for an overall understanding and knowledge of different subjects.

Alternatively, some of us just love books! There are so many ways to get your reading in. Hardcover, paperbacks, eBooks and audiobooks. No matter how you choose to read, words have the power to transform.

Can you answer this? What life-altering book have you read lately?

Thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏽💞

Poetry

Carved Corner

I can be at home 
Just being all alone
Or feeding my brain
Breaking the mundane

Books piled from floor to ceiling
I’m in heaven, oh what a feeling
Abundance of choices, can I pick a genre
Something exciting like maybe a crime drama

No, crime fiction I meant
Getting the juices flowing
Carve me a corner
By the window, much warmer

Sun shining onto the pages
Aiding through those dull stages
Parts of the story already told
Scenes we can skip over

Carved corner all my own
Selfishly unwilling to share
Bound stories from cover to cover
Curiosity I wish to discovery

Carved Corner is written for the WDYS prompt by Sadje.

Thank you for spending time with my poem! 💞🙏🏽
