'Doing The Dishes' an Agatha Christie quote I'm using for my new series relating to writing and reading. This month I have a contribution from Melissa Addey. 'Full Immersion - Using Sensory Research to Bring History Vividly to Life' ofhistoryandkings.blogspot.com/2026/03/doin...

Happy #WorldBookDay! 📚

Remember to have a book at hand, always! The format doesn't matter.

Reading can expand your horizon and send you on journeys, it relaxes you and involves you emotionally, and it can educate you.
