Simple Sweet Home

Book List 2022

There’s just nothing like cracking open a new book! One of the best ways to spend our time is by pondering new ideas and unpacking old ones.

Books can answer the most challenging questions of our times; they can also be an escape, a moment to relax and enjoy the simplicity of a good story.

 

Books play a quintessential role in every student’s life by introducing them to a world of imagination, providing knowledge of the outside world, improving their reading, writing, and speaking skills, and boosting memory and intelligence. Are we all not still students?

I love checking out books from our local library; if you like to purchase them, I linked each book to amazon.
