This month is National Book Blitz Month! January always represents fresh starts and is a great time to rededicate yourself and your family to reading. National Book Blitz Month was established as a nationwide campaign to get people to read more.
Personally, I don’t need a campaign to get me to read more because it’s already my favorite hobby. Unfortunately, my 13 year old hates it … and the cynical part of me wonders if that’s just because I love it so much. I know reading isn’t for everyone, but I’m hopeful we just haven’t found the right type of book for her yet.
If you want your family to participate in National Book Blitz Month AND support local authors, consider picking up one of these books:
