since I am a librarian....
yep....
a librarian at a middle school...
no....
I don't have glasses..{though I should..sshhh...}
and I don't have grey hair pulled back in a fierce bun....
...I like to call it a messy bun.....
....and as for the grey hairs....
well...they don't exist anymore since I pulled them out this afternoon...
yep...all three of the little suckers...
anyways...I want to start sharing with you some books that I often revisit...
books that speak to me...books that will be passed onto my children
books that mark a time in my life...good or bad....
these books helped me find myself....
helped create who I am and who I strive to be...
the first I want to share is Boy's Life
it is set in a small Alabama town in the 1960's...
a time when things were not exactly simpler...
but where life was filled with living, with grins, scabbed knees, and noise....
a story full of magic and dreams of a young boy and his friends..of adventures, trials, and yes, growing up...
a beautiful story where you will laugh outright...
cry...
and yearn for something lost..
If you get a chance this is a must read for those of us that don't want that magic to wither inside us....
