Book Club and A Poem

23 Feb

Another hoolie, another day to read! I started ‘Black Butterflies’ by Priscilla Morris, yesterday and was unable to put it down until I finished it this afternoon. My, what a talent this young woman has. This is her first novel and it is stunning. It is set in Sarajevo in 1992 and is deeply moving. It’s a love letter to humanity, to the power of art, to family, to a Sarajevo under siege and to love itself.  And, it is beautifully written.

A friend sent me this poem, knowing how I appreciate the small things, the “lovely things” that are all around us if we can take the time to stop and to notice. .

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

    I picked up “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library” yesterday . . . from the library.

    I want to thank you for posting about “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library.” I finished reading it a few days ago, and it is a wonderful book, with lovely stories and much food for thought.

      So happy to hear that. I loved it and wanted to share the joy with others. I agree about much food for thought too. 🙂
