5 minutes to glee: READ A GREAT BOOK

It doesn’t matter what you read — Harry Potter or War and Peace — as long as you find it uplifting and relevant to you. Reading is a great way to explore areas outside your comfort zone. It lets you consider different ideas and opinions and challenge your beliefs. I like to read young adult books like John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska. Yes, I’m guilty of reading the Fifty Shades trilogy in a week (for guilty fun!), but I also love Lauren Oliver’s novel Delirium and other books that make me feel as well as think. I like to read on my Kindle at work in my trailer or at home on a quiet night. Lea and I are always with our Kindles; Kevin, Heather, Matt, Becca, and Melissa are more traditional with a book in hand on set. I like to see what everyone is reading and we swap suggestions — kind of like an unspoken book club.
