How long has it been since you slowed down and read a book with your whole heart? In our fast-paced world of notifications and endless scrolling, reading is not a luxury but a lifeline – one that nourishes the soul. It allows you to walk in others’ shoes, fostering empathy and deepening your capacity for kindness. At the same time, reading is a conversation with great minds across time, expanding your perspective and equipping you to navigate life’s challenges. It’s a mindful escape from stress, bringing you into the present moment. So pick up a book – even a few pages can help you rediscover forgotten parts of yourself and see the world as brighter and more beautiful.
Starting from the July 2026, One Month One Book becomes a permanent monthly tradition. Every month, we welcome your reflections, reviews, or creative responses to any book you’ve read—fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or beyond.
Simply submit your entry by the end of each month at: https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d7gp4mb4hlRCxXo

We will still offer special prizes to contributors with the most submissions, which will be announced every June as a thank-you for your consistency and passion.
