Happy May, fellow bookworms! It’s a time when nature awakens with vibrant blossoms and our reading aspirations bloom alongside. As spring fever sets in, we cherish longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures, creating that perfect ambiance for an outdoor reading retreat. While some may argue autumn tops the list for reading enjoyment, springtime undeniably holds its own charm with blooming optimism and renewed energies.
