Reflection

The end of the year always brings about reflection for me.

As I think about the books we read this year I remember a story where love was as much a character as the people in the story, I remember a book about the violence that is somehow a part of Africa, a book about women’s friendships, I remember a book about the end of an era in rural Arkansas, a love story, a heartbreak, a historical adventure, a search for what is best for our daughters, a fanciful tale of what witches are really like, and a book about the food that brings people together. All these lovely stories are the stories that helped me track the year go by. They will now forever be associated with 2011 and all the rest of what happened this year.

I love books, they are such an escape and an experience each time. I love sharing my love of books with wonderful inspiring women. So here’s to 2011, may the good reads keep rolling in.
