Books Read in 2018

Another year winds down. I have no prophetic words, no great wisdom to part, no thoughts about one year ending and another beginning. As always, I try to move forward, look to each day not as a burden, but something to be happy for. I don’t always succeed in that and most days blend together.

Books have been my one constant in my life and remain, in some ways, my best friend. They are always nearby, always waiting, never complaining. They teach me new words, make me laugh, make me cry, and fill me with wonder. They are fantasy, a universe to escape to when the real world is pounding on my door, trying to break down the walls.

I live for them. And will continue into a new year…
