Booking Through Thursday: Contemplation

Booking Through Thursday

So … you’ve just finished reading a book. For the sake of the discussion, we’ll say it was everything a book should be—engaging, entertaining, interesting, thought-provoking.

In my daily life, it seems like almost no-one reads anything more than a newspaper or a fashion magazine.
