BE A READING REBEL.
Books are frequently challenged because of what’s inside them—books about race, religion, mental illness and much, much more. We believe books with these themes are important and should be read if you want to read them!
Believe in the freedom to read. Be a reading rebel. Spread the rebellion.
Reminders for readers:
- It doesn’t matter how many books you read.
- It doesn’t matter how many books others read.
- Don’t worry too much about your reading goal.
- Don’t judge others on their preferences.
- Nobody likes book snobs.
- Don’t worry about how many books you own.
- Don’t force yourself to read books.
- You can put a book down if you aren’t enjoying it.
- Life’s too short to read books you don’t like.
- You are allowed to reread books as many times as you want.
- Ebooks are books and they’re great.
- Audio books are books and they’re great.
- Physical books are great too.
- You are still valid. You are still a reader. It literally doesn’t matter how or what you read.
- Don’t worry about what everyone else is reading.
- Don’t worry about other opinions.
- Read what you want.

when i read -
it was my mom’s love for books that led me to love reading. because of her i know i can always find great hope, adventure and emotion in books. when i read i can imagine another world. when i read i learn to appreciate this world. most of all when i read i remember days and nights sitting beside my mom, reading.
happy birthday to my favorite person to read with ^_^
I feel torn
I want to go to the library tomorrow and check out some more books (but only if they’re apart of this genre I’m really into reading right now), but at the same time, I have four books currently checked out (three for pleasure/review, one for class/read along) and another book that I’m borrowing from a friend (at this point I’ve probably had this for a month and I still haven’t started reading it).
Someone tell me what do to!!!!
Do it. Always. The renewal button is your friend.
