This too is reading over shabbos ❤️🔥
Lots of people post about the books they read over Shabbos.
Here’s what I do on Shabbos. I choose a book and carry it around with me to all the places I sleep: couch, bed, shul. After havdalah I wish it a gute vokh and put it back on the shelf without having opened it once.
