Why SSR?

She Should Read™ is not your average literary/book club type of site. I really love those sites but this site is about encouraging women of all ages to read – not just books but anything that provides knowledge, facilitates comprehension and enriches their lives. I read everything: fiction, non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, websites and an embarrassing amount of online writing that is fed to my very convenient google reader account.

I believe reading is still the fastest way to improve the mind but it seems like this message is lost or only limited to Oprah’s Book Club {thank goodness for at least this lightning rod}. What if we made reading a priority again? I could not think of any better way to teach this goal then to try and accomplish it myself by making a formal commitment to reading one book a month. Any topic. Any length. Any time.

By writing about its immediate and obvious benefits, featuring incredible books and spotlighting amazing and soon to be amazing authors {mostly female}, I intend to be the guinea pig for the She Should Read™ Manifesto and maybe get you to start reading again – even just a little!

Light & Love,
Alicia.
