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...
I LOVE House. . . I just got a few seasons of it from the library this week, so that I could rewatch some favorite episodes and catch some that I missed.
ReplyDeletelololol on a LOST board someone had the most awesome avatar--a big, mean House face that flashed "IT'S NEVER LUPUS!"
ReplyDeleteAwesome cartoon, thanks Angie!
ETA: My confirmation word is "sucker". Awesome.
Jannsen, it's such a great show. Sounds like you've got some fun evenings ahead.
ReplyDeleteThea, that's awesome. The lupus joke is hilarious.
How can anyone not love House....Hugh Laurie is my hero....ok, not really but he is one of my all time favorites. We haven't seen this season yet cause Jared made me promise not to watch while he was in Chile so we now have to wait till it comes out on DVD.....oh the torture.
ReplyDeleteLiz, I know. I heart Hugh. We haven't been watching this season either (no cable) so we'll be right with you the day it comes out on DVD.
