"It's always snowing somewhere"
Happy New Year!
Oh, the winter doldrums. What to do on those cold winter days when your stuck in the house with nothing to do. Winter is a great time to get caught up on some of the reading you've been putting off. Make your way to your local library or bookstore and find a book or two that seems interesting to you. Maybe you could try reading a new genre, something you haven't tried reading before. Get prepared for that inevitable snow day and get your favorite reading materials ready now.
