If you’re feeling old school this summer–break out something retro. A Book. You know, the ones made of paper that you can accidentally get wet and they still work.

(I’m not condoning the pouring of liquid on books, mind you–but life happens.)

Might I humbly suggest mine: Out Across the Nowhere. A collection of stories that are short enough to read during one cup of coffee or in the sparse minutes where your kids aren’t begging for a snack.

Even more: I’m running a Summer Special in efforts to send one of my own snack-begging kids to summer camp.  Just $13.00 includes shipping and you’ll also be entered to win a $15 iTunes card or a $10.00 Starbucks card. It’s a win/win for us all.

Take a break and read a story.  Some old-school rest is good for the soul.
