Today I was lucky enough to speak to a wonderful audience about the benefits of reading, and how scientific research has proven that reading can reduce stress, lower your blood pressure and alleviate muscle tension. Thank you to EPWNG (Executive Professional Women’s Networking Group) for the opportunity!
After the presentation, I shared some of my favorite Fiction and Non-Fiction titles for good escapism! I promised I’d share them on my site, so here you go. Enjoy!

Review:The Measure by Nikki Erlick was a book I waited far too long to read. I just couldn’t stomach the idea that everyone in the world would find out their relative life span. The whole idea of this scared me but when my book club chose to read it, I dug in with enthusiasm.I’m so glad I did. This book is more about life and how we live it, rather than about dying. It’s told by a cast of eight characters who are deeply affected by the strings they received. The length of the string parallels the length of your life. All the characters are struggling with their results because even if he or she gets a long string, there will still be people they know will be gone soon.How the world at large handles the strings was so well done. People are switching boxes hoping it could change their destiny. Support groups are offered. Protests occur. The world is in a very different place. Much of this book made me think about the differences between fate and destiny. This story offers many intertwined connections between the characters that makes for a powerful and meaningful ending. I’m so looking forward to what’s next from this author. @nikkierlick @williammorrowbooks William Morrow 📘 Would you open a box that told you how long your lifespan is?#themeasure #scifilight#bookreader #bookclubpick #goodbookfairy...
