Hey there! Today I'm guest blogging over at See Michelle Read. As part of her extremely fun Literary Love event, I'm spotlighting one of my very favorite couples from contemporary fiction. Can you guess which couple I chose? Stop by and tell us if you're a fan of the slow burn, too.
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...

Haha I did indeed guess. Great post Angie.
ReplyDeleteAs always I am so in love with your couple of choice. I need to go back and reread a couple of scenes in particular...
ReplyDeleteThanks again for being a part of LL!
Alexa, well done you! I'm so transparent...
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thank you so much for having me! It was a blast. I'm there anytime you require some gushing.
By the way - did this and voted John Thornton and Margaret Hale as my fav couple. :)
