This year really came through reading-wise. Initially, I didn't know what to expect. And I think I was a little surprised to find myself feeling a strong pull right from the beginning of the year to published books. I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue. Not all of them worked in just an Angie-like way, but regret never entered the room. I passed them on. To the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood, to the used bookstore down the street that I love, to my own public library in donations. Someone will love them. It didn't have to be me. And I loved giving them that little push along their way to the homes of the people who would soak up their words and hold them tight. What a gift books are. How much I need them and how grateful I am at the end of this year for the ones that came and continued on their way—but most especially for the ones that came to stay. And so, as has long bee...
Hey, another Tamora Pierce fan! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe still have one whole year to wait??! It feels like forever since her last book came out.
Ugh, it has been forever. If I'd realized how long it was going to be, I'd have savored Terrier longer. :)

ReplyDeleteThat's a series I need to read. A year between is a long time. but the cover is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know. The first one is very good.
ReplyDeleteOh cool! But yeah...a year seems like forever. I am liking the cover, can't wait for this one to come out. Tamora Pierce is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thea. She is indeed awesome. And I love that she went back in time for this series. It's so cool to see Corus and Tortall hundreds of years before Alanna's time.
