My name is Lexi and I live and breathe the written word as often as I can. From reading, journalism and creative writing something to read is never far from me. What better way to share great books and get the word out then with a blog dedicated to book reviews, blog topics, industry interviews, giveaways and book tours
- writers are the best readers - we are great influences on others!
- writers should keep writing to put great stories out there for readers!
- offer recommendations of good books or posting book reviews!
- readers can be found in new places now, not just reading hard copies of novels!
- and parents need to set limitations on the devices, giving kids (& themselves) the option and time to read more!

Kids need limits with those devices! If I had a kid, he wouldn't even possess a cell phone until he had a job. (Mean, aren't I?)
most kids can't even write thanks to all those devices
Great photo! It's so important that people keep reading. Especially for the development of children it's really important. I really liked this post!
Readers rock! Electronic devices have a bright and dark side. You go Gollum, you're definitely of the latter. I need to review a lot more. Hopefully I can if my pick up my new laptop notebook this week.
I've never had trouble getting my kids to read, fortunately. I think it is a problem though for younger kids as they become addicted to their smartphones and tablets before they develop that love or reading.
My stepdaughter and her friends won't go near a Kindle. Even if they have iPads, they won't read on them. They only do old-fashioned books...
Readers are still out there, although they're not the easiest people to find sometimes. :)
That's my #1 summer goal: to read more. Gosh, I've been so focused on other things that it was the first thing to go by the wayside. I love that cartoon at the end. That's most def me.
I kind of frightens me when kids sit next to each other texting. What's wrong with talking to each other?
I'm definitely getting my little guy outside more now that he's home for the summer. I bring a book to read for us under the shade of a tree. :)
"parents need to set limitations on the devices" - yes!
...and parents must be brave enough to take away these devices as a form of punishment!
