Stacks of books

My friend thought I would enjoy Sue Monk Kidd's
 "Traveling with Pomegranates."

I requested it from the library. I enjoyed her "The Secret Life of Bees".
  I decided to read all of Kidd's work.

While shopping in the thrift store I found
"The Mermaid Chair."
Looks as if Sue Monk Kidd
will be the author of the month come January!

When I went to pick my book up at the library I spent some time in the stacks.

I found many books.

I shall be posting about these books.

                                                                      I am inspired!

There are more books in my book bag.

I plan on doing lots of reading.

I plan on doing lots of creating.

Many stories I read each December.

I like to sit by my fire and have tree time with a story and some music.

I need a few books about flora and fauna each month.

My son gave me this book in 1998 for Christmas.

This is a very special book for me.

I read them slowly and imagine hearing them told around a warm winter fire.

This is another story I have read many times.

Each day in November I read a blessing.

I became interested in quarks and quasars.
