I’ve written before about the challenge to myself that began on Saturday, March 14th that I would read at least a book a day. I’m still going and am now over two hundred days. I’m sure I can point to a few reasons that I’ve kept this going but a few days ago I scrolled through Instagram and saw Edelweiss’ post that struck me.

Now this is kind of funny because of all of the kinds of categories, I’m least like to pick up fantasy or science fiction which are the least likely to look like reality. Yet, in general, books are an escape in this way, which is why the quote resonated with me. I can absolutely point to the fact that this distraction of reading has helped me re-center when others things are out of my control (like how this school year was going to go or what kinds of businesses I can frequent due to restrictions and closures).

What do you think about this quote? Does it ring true for you?
