Halfway between here and there, posting briefly on my sister's computer to let you know I should be set up and sharing reviews again this coming weekend...
Meanwhile, a shout-out to Terry Pratchett, since I've been rereading his Discworld books to keep my spirits up during the utter heck that is moving!
And since I've had poetry--and dreams--on the brain lately, I will also give you my favorite Langston Hughes poem:
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-wing'd bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
I did that from memory, so please forgive any minor transcription errors. Isn't it simply perfect, though? [Happy sigh!]
ABOUT ME
- KateCoombs
- Utah, United States
- I am madly in love with children's books and want to get great books into the hands of kids who will love them, too. Books are like magnifying glasses, intensifying the wonders of people and their imaginations and everything in the world from spiders to shoelaces. Books are a unique sort of conversation. I write them, too, mostly MG fantasy, but sometimes poetry and picture books. Thank you, Johanes Gutenberg!

I hope it's all going well!
Yes, it is, and a good idea to hold fast while everything around you is shifting and changing. I helped a friend pack on Sunday for a (forced) move--a challenge to every part of a human. All the best, Kate!
Got here, catching my breath. Thanks for the good wishes!
