Sometimes I write a note to myself after I read another blogger’s words. This time I was visiting Eddie’s blog and he mentioned how we should “Make America read again.” Voila! I was inspired and created this meme based on his words. It was post-election, Literacy Week, and appropriate.
Well! I for one am reading a ton since Inauguration Day. I’ve been reading about civics – to better understand how the government works. I’ve been reading the news – to stay informed. I’ve been reading budgets – to know if I have a job. I’ve been reading fiction- to escape. Reading, check!

Sheesh! Yes. I’ve found that I have to read and watch a few videos to understand what’s going on and why. There’s a podcast that I started listening to called “Can He Do That?” It’s hosted by the Washington Post, I think. You might enjoy it. Also, I hope you don’t lose your job

Thanks Annika! I really have to give Eddie credit. And I agree, but it’s sad at the same time, right? Never thought we’d be encouraging reading in the 21st century smh
