I've been away.
A week ago tonight a friend who was a brilliant teacher and director of theater died. He was also a father and a husband. Life has shifted for many people I know in a short span of time. If you and your loved ones are healthy and safe, be grateful and enjoy each other. If you, too, are struggling with sadness or sickness, my heart goes out to you.
My friend would want me to keep reading and talking about books even now. Books and ideas were his very sustenance. This blog will resume tomorrow.
One reader's thoughts as she steps from book to book.

About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

I'm sure I speak for all who frequent here, our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
I've been thinking about you and your friend's family and missing the blog. Thanks for the update and I do wish your friend comfort and solace during this time.

Christine,
You, your family, his family and his other friends have been constantly in my thoughts since I learned of this tragedy. I'm glad you're feeling able to return and to begin the healing process.
Thank you all. Sophia might see your kind words here in days to come.
