I am super excited about National Book Month. I intend to enjoy every minute of this month.  I have my basic supplies ready… One of my favorite comfy blankets, a mug for tea with a convenient rewritable book list reminder, my ever-so-warm-and-lovely button up slippers and three books to start me out—The Pale King by David Foster Wallace, Casual Vacancy by J.K.

I happened upon some lovely book-related things… a picture and a poem. I am not certain who wrote the poem, I found it in a book but it says it was written anonymously (I found out who it was, see below). I will share them both with you. I hope you like them. The poem: I’ve travelled [sic] the world twice over, Met the famous; saints and sinners, Poets and artists, kings and queens, Old stars and hopeful beginners. I’ve been where no one’s been before, learned secrets from writers and cooks, All on one library ticket To the wonderful work of books. — Janice James (I found the author…with a little google...
