National Year of Reading, 2012, November theme -Cry
Sutherland Shire Libraries
Thursday, November 01, 2012
Boo hoo, The National Year of Reading, 2012, is nearly over. There’s no need to cry… except with joy, when you realise you don’t have to stop reading, the National Year of Reading is just the beginning!
This month the theme is cry. This doesn’t mean you have to be a misery guts. You can cry with joy, or you may find yourself crying with laughter because the article, book or blog you are reading is just so funny! You can cry tears of happiness when you read a happy ending, or find your eyes welling up because you are so moved by a story of inspiration, achievement or success against the odds. You may even cry because of the onions you are chopping up as you prepare that great new recipe you have just read (try wearing goggles next time, or put the onions in the refrigerator). If you do want to be a misery guts, reading sad stories can be catharic. There’s nothing like a good cry, as you always feel better afterwards, don’t you think?
So grab a box of tissues, and start reading.
