Argh! I bought this book ages ago, so I definitely don‘t have the receipt any more to return it. From page 5-36 it is all like this! 😱

😂

Totally not crying while reading this middle grade novel in verse for work.

Perhaps my choice of reading material for my lunch break today is a trifle ironic? Although, I do know what each stack is for.

“It‘s here I discovered that the wilderness isn‘t a problem to be solved, it is another altar of intimacy with God.”

“Perhaps every generation unconsciously perceives their own moment as the ultimate epoch, assuming that, for better or for worse, their present is how things will remain.”

Maybe not that weird, but I had to look it up when I came across it earlier in this book.

One of my niblings asked for all the Harry Potter books for Christmas; then he added, in a quavery, hopeful voice, “and could they match?”

All for other people this time, so that kind of counts as being good?

Look at what my amazing co-worker made for me!

Thankful for books, tea, and cozy reading chairs. Happy Thanksgiving!

So, I went into this more or less blind, for some reason expecting essays on the impact of Anne of Green Gables, and boy was that first short story not what I was expecting! The second one, however, was not bad, and did include this gem of a word; bibliocuriosity. The third one is bittersweet; hopeful but not syrupy. Still on the fence as I move on to the fourth.
