The Library’s Secret

I love this library for many reasons, but one is the beautiful windows with stained glass art filtering sunlight into magical rays.

Today, I browse the aisles happily while the sun beams prism-like patterns on the books. What do I feel like reading today? Historical fiction, mystery, romance? But weirdly I feel lost suddenly. Which aisle am I meandering in? I don’t recognize this one, and I kno

A fun fast read. Makes you think about your choices in life, and what different choices you might make. The characters are rather interchangeable.

As a huge Louise Penny fan, I should give the book a 5. But as a huge Louise Penny fan, I give it 4 stars. The writing is ... okay. A faster page-turner than her series, one must suspend disbelief throughout a lot of the book, the action is too unbel ...more

“Photographers are writers- Writers are photographers: we catch a glimpse of something beautiful – a flower, a glance, a window – and catch it into our camera or writing lens: add a bit of glimmer, a ghost of shadow, allowing the background to sink into fuzziness while focusing on the sharp beauty; thus, we highlight the romance of life.”
Pamela S. Wight

“First frost meant letting go, so it was always reason to celebrate.”
Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.”
C.S. Lewis

“Photographers are writers- Writers are photographers: we catch a glimpse of something beautiful – a flower, a glance, a window – and catch it into our camera or writing lens: add a bit of glimmer, a ghost of shadow, allowing the background to sink into fuzziness while focusing on the sharp beauty; thus, we highlight the romance of life.”
Pamela S. Wight

“You might need to walk into happiness, like it's a joint, and once you're inside, you own it.”
Adriana Trigiani, Tony's Wife

“There's a much deeper and meaningful conversation being conducted in the space between the lines.”
Dave Cenker, Second Chance
