That's right, I said 10. I have seen others post about more than 100 books. I brought home 10. The others were handed to teachers for their classroom libraries. It gave me so much pleasure to see them carry away a book from my pile. Several returned over the course of the ALAN Workshop for more. There is so much thanks in giving. So much joy. So much reward. I hope these books find their ways into the hands of readers. I already have bags of books to float on to schools in my neck of the woods. The time for weeding is approaching. Make way for 2016.
Today was a wonderful morning spent with family and friends, friends who have become family. This afternoon was time for Scout cuddles. Tonight it is almost like any other night except for this still strong feeling of thanks and joy. May it stay strong in the days and weeks to come.
I think some books might just be the way to hold on to these feelings...
