It was a slow reading season and on top of that, I'm late posting.  Having said that, I did manage to once again, read some great books.  For me, there is nothing better than at the end of the day or first thing in the morning, if I can manage it, to grab a cup of tea and my book. I'm able to lose myself in some otherworldly place, with people I'm just beginning to get to know, and just like that, my life is lifted in joy.  If you are a reader you know of what I speak.  If not, come along on the journey to all the places I visited this spring without ever leaving my house, well, unless I took the book with me.
