Wednesday Wisdom

 




Welcome to Wednesday Wisdom


Every Wednesday I will be sharing a book related wisdom quote in the hope of sharing my passion for reading books. I hope that the wisdom quotes spark an interest in reading in your life.




Today's Book Wisdom Quote




Today's Wisdom Quote has a simple message: Just Read!

Reading a book shouldn't come with any lists of what you need to do, just open a book and escape into the pages, and simply enjoy the story that unfolds. 

Too many "have too" goals take away from the enjoyment of reading a book. It shouldn't matter how fast you read, how many pages you read in a sitting, how many books you read in a week, month, year. Just pick a book whose story calls to you and Just Read!

Book Description:

Grace Turner was one movie away from Hollywood’s A-List. So no one understood why, at the height of her career and on the eve of her first Golden Globe nomination, she disappeared.

Now, one year later, Grace is back in Los Angeles and determined to reclaim her life on her own terms.

So when Grace is asked to present a lifetime achievement award to director Able Yorke—the man who controlled her every move for eight years—she knows there’s only one way she’ll be free of the secret that’s already taken so much from her.

The Comeback is a powerful and provocative story of justice in the #MeToo era—a true page-turner about a young woman finding the strength and power of her voice.
