A Re-Reading Adventure

Cool mornings and evenings usher in an unexpected autumn, and if you are reading this, then “I am glad that you are with me...here at the end of all things.”~*

As you know, I love words. I love to read books that have been waiting silently and patiently for years, simply for my eyes to caress them alive again. I have many such books in my library, so many that I hardly have time to read them all once, let alone two, three and four times over.

My weaknesses are the books written in epistolary form. Isn’t that a most delicious word? Epistolary.

Griffin and Sabine, and 84 Charing Cross Road are two that I’ve reread recently. The writing, in both books, is delectable. And I don’t even need to add salt as they are quite delicious all on their own.

Would you like a taste?



“My days are barren but my nights are heady with you...
I feel you moving to your dark side.Give your shadow a chance to unveil itself.”






“The book arrived safely, the Stevenson is so fine it embarrasses my orange-crate bookshelves, I'm almost afraid to handle such soft vellum and heavy cream colored pages…...I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch.”


I am currently enjoying Harry Potter/book three. Nearly finished, aside the distractions as above stated. What are you enjoying, aside your distractions, that is?
