Seasons Readings
'Tis the season to be gift-giving, and there is nothing better than giving someone a great book. Or receiving one -- I love getting books. I am something of a book hoarder curator. I love the feel of turning the pages of a good book that you feel you can't put down - even to take that delicious sip of your favorite beverage. The idea of curling up in front of the fire in a comfortable chair as you lose yourself in another world, I think is one of the best gifts you can give to someone.

Beyond Loss: Exploring Family, Culture, and Memory
I miss my Literati Book Club - they used to have such great selections. I loved that if I didn't like the selection of the club I was in, I could switch to another club that month. There were many clubs - run by authors, celebrities, and athletes. The club ended last December, unfortunately. The company decided to focus on their children's book clubs. Good for them, but I miss the adult Literati Book Club's discussions that were available online and special interviews with the authors.

Unleashing Imagination
Have you ever come across a book on your shelf that has always intrigued you but remained untouched for years? For me, that book was The Phantom Tollbooth. I remember gazing at its captivating illustrations as a child, too young to read the story myself. As I grew older and became a parent, the book remained untouched on the shelf. It wasn't until recently that I finally decided to pick it up and dive into its pages. And oh, what a delightful journey it turned out to be. As I reflect on my experience with this beloved classic, I can't help but feel a sense of remorse for not reading it to my children when I had the chance.
