In this Summer’s edition of the Heart at Home newsletter we’re featuring ElderHeath member’s book recommendations and reading preferences. Thank you for your contributions!
This Summer’s Heart at Home newsletter is dedicated to books, the written word, and love for reading. We were curious about our member’s reading preferences and learned more about them in a brief 10-question anonymous survey (below are the questions).
In May 2023 we tallied the results of the survey and reported our findings in this Summer’s edition of the Heart at Home newsletter. You can also view the results from the survey below.
