Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:59:06 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — With multiple viruses and even bacteria going around this time of year, there’s a good chance you or someone in your household has fallen victim to illness recently. You may even be among the unlucky people experiencing a lingering cough.Before you reach for a cough drop or a dose of cough medicine, you may want to consider all your options. As annoying or even painful as a cough can be, it sometimes serves a purpose.

Amy LindgrenIf you’re a reader, then you already know that books come in all stripes and flavors. Whatever issue you’re working through, whatever curiosity has overtaken you, or whatever hour you’re trying to kill, there will be a book out there somewhere to help.As someone who gobbles up books indiscriminately, I have a lot of random items in my collection.
