National Reading Month
Happy National Reading Month!
The month of March is designated as national reading month to encourage people across America to read! Reading is a great way to pass time while improving vocabulary, memory, attention span, and more. Here are some book recommendations and where to find them in Auburn to kickstart your reading adventures!
For the lover of classics
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is my favorite classic and may just be my favorite book in general. It tells the story of a young girl’s life in Brooklyn, and the struggles of growing up without the luxury of a stable family. This is a great classic for people (like me) who don’t enjoy the headache of trying to decipher old English. Stop by Well Red to pick it up!

For The Lover of Thrills
The Push features a chilling story of a mother and daughter and their complex relationship that leaves the mother doubting everything she once knew. If you want to be on the edge of your seat, this book is for you!
Auburn Oil and Co. Booksellers
If you’re feeling indecisive, pop into Auburn Oil and Co. and let them pick a book for you! Their “blind date” section has wrapped books with short descriptions of their theme/mood. This is a fun way to find a book you love that you may not have noticed at first.
For the Historical Fiction Lover
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a fictional story that follows the lives of two women in Afghanistan. This book includes heavy content and heartbreaking stories that will leave you grateful for the simple freedoms we easily forget. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical dramas; it is truly a fantastic read front to back!
Happy reading and Be Well, Auburn.

After graduation, she aspires to travel as much as possible, pursue a career in real estate or social media marketing, and eventually find her way back to the Rockies.
