Spring: a time to relax, be outdoors—and read! But books don’t grow on trees, so how to choose?

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - May 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Spring is finally here! Yippee! Associated with joy, passion, and reawakening, Spring provides a welcome opportunity to spend time outdoors enjoying the glorious weather and lush scenery. And what better activity for maximizing Spring’s positive seasonal effects than reading?

Research indicates that reading is an organic way to effectively calm the nerves and reduce anxiety.

The journey one takes with an engrossing book is the cheapest holiday available, and an active one, too. While a read will not make you sweat or burn calories, your imagination will be running sprints as it catapults over great storylines and captivating characters. Step outside, find a comfortable bench or spread a blanket, and plunk down with a good book.

But don’t stress out selecting one. The massive amount of new books released each week is mind numbing, not to mention overwhelming. Do you go hardcover, paperback, ebook, audio, interactive, free, pdf, online, or offline? How sweet Spring would be if a great book would appear with the snap of your fingers.
