The Secret Shelf’s goal is to inspire readers to put down screens and get sent back in time through reading. Although I understand the new-found cell phone epidemic present in today’s society, considering I am a part of the problem, reading has helped me limit my daily screen time. Reading strengthens our minds and enhances our vocabulary as scholars— isn’t it a good idea to start participating in activities that benefit us rather than take away our time? That’s what The Secret Shelf believes in, so put down that device, and get to reading! Recommendations are down below to start inspiring you today! :)
