And am thrilled that my young granddaughters are also avid readers. The oldest at age 10 called me a few month ago to proudly tell me “Grandma, I have a TBR pile just like you” I volunteer in classrooms to read to children and also to have them to read to me. We can’t give our chldren a greater gift than reading.

Reading is a cheap way to visit other countries and cultures, sigh.
I love reading and I love AAR.

Even though the economic forecast is grim, the manager of the local Waldenbooks told me they had a wonderful Christmas season. And my brother who drives the bookmobile told me that he’s been run over with patrons.
