Dear Hayley: the Eco quote is spot on. I often feel or think about something, and then peruse my bookshelves.
I've never seen (I don't think) The Muppets C.Carol, but I am looking forward to it! My favorite C.Carol so far is the one with George C. Scott. I rented it on Prime or Netflix.
I just sent my grandson the audiobook of all the Chronicles of Narnia. I really really hope he likes it. (he's 8, almost 9).
Last thing-- have you/do you read Flannery O' Conner, Faulkner, or Eudora Welty? I have a degree in English Literature, but somehow missed most of these authors. Oh, and Graham Greene.
I'm so glad people in your house are getting better. What a bummer for the holidays! Happy New Year!
Haley, I want to thank you for sharing that quote from Umberto Eco. Truthfully, I've been struggling recently with feelings of guilt about owning so many unread books. But now I feel comforted by the thought that my love of books (of reading them, collecting them, sharing them) is something I should celebrate and not feel ashamed of.
Love the quote from Umberto Eco. And the Muppet Christmas Carol is our family’s favorite too. My boys are both grown, and a few years ago on a car trip to Colorado (from California) at Christmas time I read A Christmas Carol aloud during the trip. They would launch into the Muppet parts as we came to them, with the appropriate voices, of course. Now my grandchildren are becoming fans too!
We got the first and second Sister Seraphina mysteries for Christmas and are enjoying read them. I’m reading a chapter of it at a time to my younger boys and I’m pretty sure my 7year girl has red them both. Well done with the writing and the illustrations are just darling 🥰

The Muppet Christmas Carol is so delightful! You will love it! I have read lots of O'Connor, a bit of Faulkner, and no Welty. Happy New Year!

I also think with the shift to digital media, home libraries are even more valuable and important to keep!

Great quote from Eco! Also, my eight-year-old is very excited to hear you are planning another Sister Seraphina mystery!
Aw, yay!

Thank you so much, Samantha!
The Artist’s Way has been a mover and shaker in my life and one I’ve highly recommended to others. Enjoy its journey.
