“Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke
“I love the world of words, where life and literature connect.”
~Denise J Hughes
“Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.”
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
“I read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection!
Books take us to places we’ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.”

What an amazing month of reads, Carol! It’s impressive seeing it all in one place. By the way, I shared your beautiful post via twitter, but your twitter handle isn’t a live link? Just in case you didn’t know, I wanted to mention it.
Thank you! 😍 I don’t have an active twitter handle….I need to remove that link! Thanks for trying to share! Greatly appreciated!
….or maybe I should activate twitter! I was overwhelmed by all the social media platforms when first setting up my blog! Thanks for the nudge 🤣
Yes, you should! I’ll share your new posts that way! ♥️
👍 I’ll keep you posted!
