How can it have been six months since I last posted on this blog? Man, does time fly. But here we are. December. The end of the teens and heading into the 20s. As many of you know, I've been obsessed with the 20s for a long time. But now I will have to say the 1920s, because the days of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway are nearly 100 years ago.
But that doesn't make their books any less magical, or meaningful. That's the great thing about literature that touches your heart or makes you think--it's ageless. Which is something I remember when I pull out The Sun Also Rises or Tender Is The Night for like the four thousandth time.
Books have the ability to take you on a time travel--and not only when they really are about A Wrinkle In Time. When you re-read a favorite book you are magically transported back to the time you first met those characters. The first time you felt their pain, or celebrated their successes, or snuck a peek at the last chapter to make sure things turned out okay in the end. It's a magic that can't be found in a movie, or on TV. Sometimes a favorite smell has a similar power, but not in the same way.
I'm sure everyone has that one or two books that bring them they same such joy. And I hope you will take the time to re-read those books over this holiday break.
Sending you love, light, and joy for the next decade! (although I promise to post here a lot sooner than 2029!)
