Its that time of the year, the kids go back to school. They’ve got their books all ready, have you got yours? Pick up a book this month that you may never have thought to pick up before. Don’t Get Stuck in genres that you feel you should be reading or in fact genres you love. Think outside the genre you might surprise yourself. My goal for the next few months is to pick up a book I’d never normally read and see where it goes. Although I’m a firm believer that life is too short to read books you don’t like, you might surprise yourself. Here are my Top 5 Back-to-School Reading for Adults enjoy and as always I’d love to hear how you get on.
