Usually, I would never really think twice of what I do after I read a book rather than recommend it to a friend or put it on the shelf in case I want to re-read it for future purposes. During the summer months, everyone is scrambling to find a summer bucket list to complete, or a bucket list for life. But what about those who love to read and are looking for adventure. There should be a bucket list for that. Well fortunately, I thought of a list of fun things I’d want to do as a reader to complete on a bucket list which consists of 40 things every book lover should try at least once! I know I’ll be heading to Starbucks and then embarking on a reading journey both figuratively and literally.
