Tidying up guru Marie Kondo once wrote that after one particular purge, she ended up with only thirty books in her home.
Why, that’s practically the number on my nightstand to-be-read stack alone!
My books are not just cardboard and paper. They are my friends. Each book contains not only unique stories and life lessons, but sometimes daring adventure, tender comfort, radical transformation, or courageous challenge.
