Sarah’s face can light up often, but never so readily as when she’s talking about books. Many would agree she even looks like the lovely Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast, whose love of literature is one of her many fine qualities. Sarah tells stories of reading under her blankets by flashlight, reading outside in the summertime, reading everywhere and anywhere. Of course, reading is not a contest but the term ‘voracious reader’ comes from somewhere (see Sarah B.)! She’s been sharing the titles via Instagram as she documents her extraordinary pace of reading since the start of 2020. Have your read any of these? What’s your average reading pace?
