We get it. Life gets really busy. We fill our days with tasks, relationships, events, work, fun, travel and all sorts of other experiences that require our time, attention and energy.
Somehow, in the midst of that all, we have seen our world advance in its complexities deepening in it’s technological superiority. And while we don’t want to diminish just how incredible this has been, we also acknowledge the fear we hold that appreciation for books may have also been decreasing in this modernizing world.
At the end of the day though, are you really being fulfilled by your phone? You want to be entertained, you want to relax, and you want to find yourself and feel like you are where you belong. After a whole day of being worked and needed, you deserve your place where you can just be.
We have a feeling that while your phone can do so much, there is something missing that a paper book can provide to you.
Belonging.
Yes, you read that right. A book can provide you with belonging!
We're not saying your phone won’t ever do this, but we promise a book will always be more effective. Why?
Well, books don’t judge you. They welcome you. You get to choose and find one that you believe will be your match. Books don’t expect anything from you, they simply welcome you to come and explore your identity and knowledge by opening them. As you wander through your imagination, they will have your back and follow you. But you, the reader, have the control.
We have seen books walk beside us throughout our lives. Guiding us in the hard times, giving us joy in the good times, teaching us and bringing us to new heights. Books provide an escape from the long days. They have taken us to more places and allowed us to see the world and limitless possibilities in far more ways than our wallets can ever have allowed for. They have allowed us to step out from the confines of time, traveling either forward or back, and the adventure has been so special.
We challenge you to explore the limitless possibilities of reading. Let literature walk besides you in this life.
You will find what you are looking for in the novels and stories that exist in this world. Keep looking and keep reading until you find yourself satisfied. You will find that in books there is much enjoyment, peace and fulfillment.
So, with that said, we wish you happy reading!
