Children love them. Teachers encourage parents to read them aloud. And many have clever pictures. (My children had one that celebrated “V” by showing “Vulture with Violin”)
Recently this blog celebrated the books and the alphabet in a slightly different way. I searched my shelves, purchased the missing, and discussed 26 books with their titles in alphabetical order.
Authors begin as readers. Readers gravitate toward books – but they include magazines, newspapers, and the back of the cereal box.
The next time you are looking for a new book – consider picking a romance. They end with optimism (a quality in spotty supply these days.) They come in a wide variety and may include comedy, suspense, paranormal creatures, or historical settings. I’d be pleased if you tried one of mine – search by Ellen Parker under your favorite retailer.
