Thursday 23rd was the 12th anniversary celebration of my book club. After so long not being together it was great to be back...to share a toast, look at our history video and sit with snack plates on our laps😊

BLOG HOPPING TODAY WITH
To read is to travel through pages
Discover wonderlands and winter worlds
Leaving a sunny Caribbean in stages
Tip toe or walk through place or time
Wend and wade you travel through pages
Long long ago or far far into the future
Choose your pace breaking all cages
The universe gets smaller fitted to eye span
You can sing though the storm rages
A cup of tea will soothes your aches
And wonderings as you travel through pages

Your poem says what reading is all about for me, Gillena. I love as fortunate to have parents who encouraged me to read and spared me the change to buy books as a kid.

I can't agree more with your poem and the three quotes. My reading club ended unfortunately after ten years activity. The last book we shared was "The Book Thief."

Congratulations to the ladies of your Book Club for enjoying good reading and such good company for all those years... here's to many more. I liked the quotes so much. We have talked often about how we feel sorry for people who don't read. Especially during the time of Covid, I don't know how non-readers stayed sane!! (By the way, I'd love it if you would write someday about what your club is reading.)
