reading tip 7: books & travel

There are a few things I feel strongly about when it comes to reading:

• Books should be all over the house, not just stuck in one spot.
• Books should cover all forms of media–audio, video, you name it.
• Books should be read at all times of the day.
• Books should be well-used and well-loved.
• Books should be shared.
• Books should be taken on trips.

That last one, Books should be taken on trips, is a big one.

Books should be taken on all trips–not just big, let’s-pack-a-suitcase kinda trips.  But all trips. Books should be taken on short trips, long trips, car trips and bus trips.

Really and truly.
