The list goes on (and has changed several times since I started writing this).<\/p>\n

We\u2019re stuck at home, folks. We. Are. Stuck. At. Home.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, Edwards’s tweet was wrong! There’s definitely no shortage of books. And reading a book can fill the time that people might have spent watching college basketball (that would be me . . . ) or attending events in person.<\/p>\n

So . . . why don\u2019t you remind people that books await them?<\/p>\n

Face it: Books are the best escape from reality out there. They can be the antidote to fear and boredom.<\/p>\n

No basketball? Read a book.<\/em><\/p>\n

No concert? Read a book.<\/em><\/p>\n

Can’t dine out? Read a book.<\/em><\/p>\n

Authors, let\u2019s get assertive about this. Let\u2019s get out there and remind people of the best, most affordable entertainment option available: Reading.<\/p>\n
