August 9 is National Book Lovers Day, and we bibliophiles have more to love beyond ink and paper. 

A Traveling Library

Nothing beats the smell of a new book. Or the feel of its pages as you anxiously turn to read what plot twist the author thought of next. Not to mention the satisfaction you get from closing a thick hardcover after investing weeks or maybe even months of your free time reading. Am I right?

Then why am I sitting here gearing up to tell you why I need a Kindle in my life? Well, if you’re going to deploy overseas soon like I am, I think having one might be my saving grace.

The Holidays have come and gone and the New Year is in full swing. Along with that comes New Year’s Resolutions! There are so many things that people aim to change or accomplish with the new calendar year. Mine is to eat more salads and veggies, which I’m sure is a widespread goal that many people hope to accomplish. Hopefully they are doing better than me, we’re almost through January and my salad count is at a big fat zero.
