Y'all remember that song Read a Book by Lil Jon? It came out 14 years ago and anytime I think about reading I think about that song. The music video is hilarious and it did not make me want to read a book which isn't surprising! Because Lil Jon songs are catchy AF, if not all the songs are super catchy. But my point for bringing it up is simple!
Drop Everything and Read! That was a big slogan when I was in school and it too did not make me want to read, but I did like reading. I didn't like people telling me to read or what to read a whole lot but I did it. I know there are millions of books and audiobooks to read and enjoy. I like reading about adventure, intrigue, story-telling and a little bit of drama and/or romance. Some books are easier to read then others. I'm saying I didn't always like reading the Encyclopedia, but I know that it was helpful when I had homework. It's actually crazy to me now that my mom had the entire series in our house and whenever I had a question or needed to "look up" something I could grab one of the books and find information. It was the most updated version of it's time but seriously. Who else has or had a whole Encyclopedia on their book shelves??
Anyway, this episode was fun and it did make me think about reading more frequently and expanding my vocabulary because new words are made almost all the time. With that being said, here is the full list of books from the episode below!
