DONCASTER READ

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!

When you’re making your New Year’s resolutions this year, don’t forget about books and reading. Do they ever feature in your list?

‘Read more’ is a popular resolution choice but read more what?

Rather than sticking with your usual literary diet, why not flex your reading muscles and challenge yourself to try something new?

Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try a genre you’ve never ventured into or try fiction or non-fiction if you’ve only ever stuck to either. It can be exciting, thought provoking and, with a bit of perseverance, thoroughly rewarding.

For something less strenuous, how about being read to for a change with an audio book? It’s not just children who can benefit from a bedtime story!

Changing your reading habits may not be easy but neither is counting the calories or starting a new fitness regime...and we know which we’d prefer!
