A day for those who love to read, Book Lovers Day is on August 9 and encourages you to kick and relax with a great book. What better way for seniors to celebrate this holiday than by finding a new book to read. Reading is a great pastime and rewarding hobby, but also comes with many benefits, such as stress reduction, mental stimulation, increased knowledge, expanded vocabulary, improved memory and analytical thinking skills. Even if your senior loved one's sight is not as strong as it once was, there are still available reading options such as kindles or tablets where you can adjust the font size, and excellent large-print options too.
Check out some of these wonderful recommendations for summer reads for seniors from the AARP.
