It’s February!
Hearts and flowers?
Chocolates and wine?
Well, not always.
Undying love – yes – for a good book, well written, thought-provoking, and enthralling.
Many old favorites spring to mind. Books that I read in my youth that profoundly affected the path I took. Books I read as an adult that challenged me to think again about subjects that had become fixed as I got older. Books I revisited with my children and grandchildren. Books I read to a class of children by candlelight.
And now I work in your Library! Making new favorites. Surrounded by books of all shapes and sizes.
Let a great book give you a heart, eager to share your favorite books with others.
