The Prescription You Didn’t Know You Needed That Could Change EVERYTHING
An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but just ten minutes with a book can transform your whole life! I’m no doctor (like, seriously I’m NOT a doctor!), but I can write a great book Rx!

Lottie, I just wanted to say thank you so so much for giving me back the joy/pleasure of reading. I used to be a voracious reader but in recent years couldn’t get past the guilt of the time spent on this pastime. With your ‘gentle’ and constant pushes, I’m now back enjoying one of my greatest loves. Thank you!
